Olivia Moore

Olivia "Liv" Moore, M.D. is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the tv series, iZombie. The character is based off of the comic book character "Gwen Dylan" from the titular series, which was created by Chris Roberson and Michael Allred. 
Originally a "type-A" academic achiever, Liv's life would go downhill when she is turned into a zombie by Blaine DeBeers at a boat party. Returning to the land of living as a zombie, Liv leaves her former life behind and becomes a morgue assistant to feed on human brains. She would also become an investigator to solve murders by absorbing the memories of victims, and became an asset to the Seattle Police Department for her abilities.
She was portrayed by Rose McIver, who also played Tinker Bell in Once Upon a Time, and also voiced Atali in Dragons: Race to the Edge.
==History==
===Background===
Liv Moore was a promising cardiothoracic surgery resident studying at a Seattle hospital program. She was engaged to Major Lilywhite. Olivia's life was perfect. One night however, while attending a boat party, a drug-induced "zombie" outbreak occurred on the ship, causing Moore to get scratched by drug dealer Blaine DeBeers, fall into the water, and die. Moore later awoke alive on a beach, zombified. She broke off her engagement to Lilywhite, quit her medical residency, and got a job at the morgue, to have access to brains to satisfy her insatiable hunger. 
While working at the morgue, Moore's boss Ravi Chakrabarti discovered that Liv was a zombie, which she had never told anybody. Chakrabarti quickly became a friend and confidant for Moore, and regularly performs various tests on her to get more knowledge on her condition and maybe even cure it. Moore has also become a valuable asset for the Seattle Police Department, due to her ability to have memory flashes after eating a brain. 
==Biography==
===Early Life===
Olivia "Liv" Moore was born on November 13th, 1987 to Martin Roberts and hospital administrator Eva Moore, and is the sister to Evan Moore. Her father was a drug-addict who created the tainted version of the substance Utopium, which would led to the creation of zombies. She would attend and graduate from Doc Maynard High School, and became interested in becoming a cardiothoracic surgery resident. Liv went to the University of Washington to become a surgery resident, and studied at a hospital program in Seattle. At the university, Liv befriended Peyton Charles, and began a romantic relationship with Major Lilywhite. The two would soon become engaged, and Liv continued to work at the Seattle program where she started to work at a local hospital as a surgery resident.
===Becoming a Zombie===
Liv would attend a boat party with her friends where zombies attacked, and she was infected by Blaine DeBeers, who scratched her before she fell into the water. Though Liv drowned, she was resurrected as a zombie due to the scratch, and awoke in a body bag. Liv attempted to tell her family and friends of what happened, but they believed that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from the events of the party. Upon turning into a zombie, Liv decided to break off her engagement to Major out of fear of turning him into a zombie, and quit her job as a medical resident to work at a morgue to quench her hunger for brains. She would soon reveal of her infection to Ravi Chakrabarti, and decided to help him catch killers by eating the brains of victims. By doing so, she would absorb their memories, skills and traits, allowing her to catch their murderers.

===Season One===
==Powers and Abilities==
===Powers===
*Zombie Physiology: Liv mutated after being infected with a tainted batch of Utopium. The general bodily features - pale skin and hair, a lust for brains and only one heart beat per six seconds - has led to the infected to be referred to as "Zombies".
**Immortality: Becoming a zombie, Liv cannot die and can live as long as she consumed human brains. She cannot physically age as well, as she appears the same in the epilogue of the series.
**Resurrection: Due to her undead nature, Liv has had two "resurrections" where she had no pulse and was believed dead.
**Disease Immunity: Liv cannot become sick from human ailments nor infections. Thus she is capable of working in quarantine locations without fear.
**Superhuman Durability: She can survive certain hits from guns and brass knuckles.
**Superhuman Strength: In her "full-on Zombie"-mode, Liv is considerably stronger than in her controlled state.
**Superhuman Speed: During her adrenaline rushes, Liv is capable of running at fast speeds.
**Retrocognition: For several days after eating a brain, Liv is able to remember things from a the original brain owner's life by looking at certain triggers.
**Personality Absorption: Aside from memories, Liv sometimes also absorbs interests, knowledge and fears. She developed (among others) artistry, kleptomania and a fear of pigeons.
**Adrenaline Activation: Also known as "Full-on Zombie Mode", Liv's abilities become enhanced when she suffers from an adrenaline rush. Her undead appearances becomes more apparent, and the adrenaline in her body allows her to be less sensitive to physical trauma.
===Abilities===
*Medical Science: Due to her early academic career as a medical resident, Liv has medical skills that help her catch killers.
*Forensic Pathology: Liv is skilled in forensics, as she took a job in the morgue to consume human brains. 
===Weaknesses===
*Hunger for Brains: If Liv does not eat brains, she becomes dumb, loses her humanity, and perhaps even dies. She needs to eat brains at least once a week; though she can still eat other food.
*Restricted Senses:
**Restricted Taste: As a side effect, Liv lost most of her sense of taste, only being able to detect it when it was extra spicy. As such, she and other zombies regularly spiked their food and drink with hot sauce.
*Adrenaline Rush: When Liv suffers from an adrenaline rush, they find it harder to control their urges or triggers.
*Infertility: Liv cannot become pregnant no matter whom she sleeps with; zombie or human. Her zombie biology cannot produce the process for creating a new life. Thought if she became human again like Bozzio, Liv would be capable.
==Trivia== 
*Birthday : In "iZombie (TV Series) Episode: Grumpy Old Liv", Liv is 27 years old (if she were still alive) because she says being 27 was a bad year. But in "iZombie (TV Series) Episode: Real Dead Housewife of Seattle|Real Dead Housewives of Seattle” she turns 28. Her birthday is November 13th, as she shows her driver license.
*Blood type : In "iZombie (TV Series) Episode: Grumpy Old Liv", when her brother has a accident and need blood, we learned that they are both O-negative.
*It's unknown Liv's immortality is true agelessness or her aging is just delayed by the amount her heart beats. In episode one, Ravi says her heart only beats 10 times a minutes; a whole 1/6 of a normal heartbeat. 
*When she eats brains, Liv is extremely easily influenced by any bizarro and negative traits; other zombies aren't.
*Presumably, Liv doesn't digest food quickly as a zombie; given space brain eating habits.
