She is the eldest child of the family and older sister to Joey and Parker. Liv left the family for four years, beginning at the age of 11, to star in a popular television program, Sing It Loud !, to which she continually refers. During her time on that show, Liv was living with her Aunt Dena. Liv is a sophomore at Ridgewood High. When Liv and Maddie celebrate their sweet sixteen in `` Sweet 16 - a-Rooney '', Karen states that Liv, who was born at 11 : 56 PM, is six minutes older than Maddie, who was technically born a day later.

Liv stars as Tristan Lycanth in the film adaptation after being able to fully master all the traits of the wolf with the help of writer / wolf girl Emmy `` Fangs '' Wulfert. Although the protagonist of the story was originally a boy in the graphic novels, Liv was picked for the role because of her acting career on Sing It Loud ! and the role of Tristan was changed from a boy to a girl.

After the two of them reconcile, Liv is persuaded by Maddie to stay with her.

She does get a guest role on `` Linda and Heather '' which she nearly causes to stop production until she and Parker come up with a plan to keep it from ending. By the end of the episode, Liv is told that they want her to reprise her character for the sequel to Sing It Loud ! called Sing It Louder ! !

Her main love interest is Diggie, captain of Ridgewood High 's boys ' basketball team. But because of his constant moving, they break up. Her new love interest is Liv 's co-star in Voltage, Josh.
