"Hype Girls Introduction" (April 28, 2020)

Alivia Hernandez-Escobar (born March 12, 2002) is an American actor and a co-founder of The Hype Girls. On April 21, she and three of her fellow teammates landed a deal with Hype Productions for a whopping amount of GoBucks. She is in fact the only member of The Hype Girls whose voice has not changed. She had a new look revealed in "The Hype Girls Are Back On Vyond! + New Looks". Her voice is Ivona Kimberly since her debut.

## Early life

Alivia Hernandez-Escobar was born on March 12, 2002, in Los Angeles, California, to former drug dealer Alvaro Hernandez-Escobar (born June 17, 1981) and former prostitute Belle Zapata (born November 12, 1983). The family moved to San Francisco, California, at the age of just four months old. Before the formation of the A Girls, she did meet Astrid, a Swedish-American girl, after an encounter in December 2002. In 2003, Alivia saw that Astrid, Anna, and Alyssa were cornered by bullies, so she jumped in and confronted them. She was named leader of the A Girls as a result.

## Education

### GoAnimate Elementary School

Alivia went to GoAnimate Elementary School with her daycare friends. According to her teachers, she was “ahead of everyone else in her level” and “had a love for literature and poetry.” She ended up skipping the second grade and went straight to the third grade, considering being “ahead of everyone else in her level.” She was also good at math and science, so that would give everyone an idea of what she was good at. Alivia was described as a “nerdy philomath who loved school so much.” She ended up one grade ahead of her friends. She finished elementary school after the 2011-12 school year.

### San Mateo Prep School

For the 2012-13 school year, Alivia enrolled in San Mateo Prep School. When Anna, Astrid, and Alyssa were still fifth-graders at the time, they would often hang out with her. She would sometimes help Astrid with her homework. Alivia would often write comics with Anna. Meanwhile, she participates in volunteer work for the school as a hobby. In the 2013-14 school year, while she was in the seventh grade, Alivia did get the chance to meet her friends, Astrid and Alyssa, in the same school, but not Anna. Anna went to GoAnimate High School in Oakland while Astrid and Alyssa followed Alivia in San Mateo Prep School. The next school year, she became friends with now-boyfriend Hernán Marquez. Alivia finished middle school after the 2014-15 school year.

### GoAnimate High School

Going into the 2015-16 school year, Alivia enrolled in GoAnimate High School. She would sometimes lock herself in her room to do homework or even study for upcoming tests. The Hype Girls were on shaky ground due to the restructuring of the group. Alivia still continued to do volunteer work for the school. She still managed to get straight A’s throughout the years. In 2017, Alivia and Hernán’s friendship later turned romantic. Around the same time, the Hype Girls were back in session. In the 2016-17 school year, Alivia was looking forward to seeing her friends Anna, Astrid, and Alyssa once again in the same school. Alivia graduated from GoAnimate High School in 2019 with a 4.3 GPA and an SAT score of 1600. She was ranked third in the class of 350.

### University of California, Los Angeles

While Anna, Astrid, and Alyssa were still seniors, Alivia enrolled in UCLA for the 2019-20 school year. She majored in theater and acting. The last two months of freshman year went virtual following a stay-at-home order. A pandemic has spread to all parts of the world, especially the United States, where the numbers were so high this ordered public events to be cancelled or delayed. Before the stay-at-home order was in place, Alivia would usually drive to San Francisco to pay Anna, Astrid, and Alyssa a visit. In the meantime, she became a part-time tutor for the girls. While Alivia is doing homework assigned from her college professors, she is sometimes helping her friends with their homework. Alivia is also tutoring a fellow UCLA student named Matt. Matt is majoring in computer science. During that time, she and her friends were approached by HypeAnimate who would land them a deal with Eric and Erika Media Inc. In May 2020, school was finally out, and Alivia drove back to Los Angeles. In June 2020, she was involved in a riot in which people were holding up posters opposing racial injustice. She had her right fist raised in the air while protesters march down the streets. School was back in session in August 2020. Alyssa went to the same school as Alivia did while Anna went to USC and Astrid went to UNLV.

Alivia is now a junior at the University of California, Los Angeles.

## Stint with the Hype Girls

*Main article:* The Hype Girls

Alivia was an OG member of the Hype Girls. She became the leader after saving her friends from getting hurt. She was described as “sweet, charming, brave, tough, and above all, a human calculator.” The Hype Girls went on a hiatus, and Alivia stuck with doing volunteer work for the school. When the group went back in session, Alivia set up a press conference in which the group members would have to decide whether to vote Amanda out of the group. Result: Alivia and Astrid voted “Yea” and Anna and Alyssa voted “Nay”. Then Alivia did a coin flip (heads: Amanda stays in the team; tails: Amanda is voted off). The coin landed in tails, and Amanda was ultimately voted off. Alivia wished her the best even after Amanda was voted off the group. She was later interviewed with her friends. The group was still struggling, and they found someone who could be in the group: Alaina. A year later, the Hype Girls landed a deal with Eric and Erika Media Inc. for $300,000. They produced *The Hype Girls Show* from April 30 to December 31, 2020.
