Olivia Morten

## Pre-Apocalypse

*The following is an excerpt from Olivia's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

"Olivia Lessa Morten was born in Louisville to Judith and Erik Morten, who were moderately well-off and could afford a comfortable middle-class life. However, it was decided that they would live below their means so that they would be able to afford any education that their one and only daughter would want- while also being able to account for any medical emergencies that may crop up as well. Judy and Erik were intelligent people and had noticed a slight trend in the years before of medical prices rising slowly each year.

Growing up, Olivia had what can be considered the most average childhood- walking by one, talking by two, reading by four, sooner than the average, but, well, she’s a smart cookie, and she wanted to read some of those books. Most of them had people in them who wanted to do the right thing, bring bad people to justice. In a young girl's mind, things like this ended up leaving an impression, making her dislike bullies and people abusing this power. Down the line, this ended up getting her into trouble more than a few times- not just with teachers at school or other children and teenagers, but with her own family as well.

School came and went, with Olivia ended up as one of the more studious children to be like those heroes in her books, she had to get good grades. (Or so her parents said.) and eventually mellowing out. She still got in trouble, but nothing lasting as her family was generally on her side after a certain point.

Grades stayed high through school, from elementary to middle, and even high school. Then, when she became a sophomore, she met the boy who would end up becoming a key part of her life- Edward Fuson. They met, they bonded, and they became the ‘high school couple’ that went on to stay together even afterward.

High school finished, with Olivia retaining the high grades that she’s had since elementary and having free choice over whatever possible college or university she wanted- What she ended up going for? It was the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law, the law school of the University of Louisville. Due to the foresight and planning of her parents, she was able to afford to attend with significant overhead, even if she was still getting a job at the Grand Ohio Mall to give herself enough money to spend on frivolous things. Two years later, Edward and Olivia, though unmarried, moved in together and continued with their respective dreams. She was a third of the way to her dream, and Edward was working hard at getting a commercial pilot's license, that being his own goal. A few months after, Olivia received a promotion to Assistant Manager, a year later Manager.

Life went on for them, up until the series of floods that forced the residents of Louisville into eating meat of questionable quality- Olivia instead opted to head out of state with her family to purchase canned goods and nonperishables to weather the storm. Upon their return, her mother and father left once again to head to Alaska on their yearly vacation, now not having to worry about their daughters' wellbeing. At least, up until Louisville was quarantined. Edward was out of state as well, in Chicago and racking up the flight time required for his commercial license. This left Olivia squarely in the midst of the outbreak on her own, though perhaps a blessing that she doesn’t need to worry about those she loves."

## Season 0

Olivia failed to escape the city of Louisville before December 1st, 1994 and was incinerated in the December Bombings. They will be sorely missed.

## Personality

*The following is an excerpt from Olivia's PNDRA Refugee Application,*

"Outgoing, bright personality. Olivia is one of those people who believes in bringing those who have done wrong to justice, and making sure that the innocent aren’t punished for acts they haven’t committed. Will crack someone over the head if they’re in the wrong when her friends are involved, will smack her friends if they’re in the wrong. Doesn’t care about a persons’ upbringing, if they need help she’ll do what she can, but won’t go out of their way to constantly help them."
