Tuilp

**Tulip Olsen** is the main protagonist of Infinity Train Book One. She is 12 years old in the show’s pilot, and in the series she is 13 years old. Tulip is a passenger on the Jimmy‘s Rocketship, searching for a way home with One-One and Atticus, until the Season One finale episode "The Last Adventure In Season 1," where she returns back home after bidding her friends Behind.

## Appearence

Tulip's build resembles that of a typical schoolgirl. She has very pale skin and a thin build, giving her a frail physique. She has long red-orange hair that is kept tied in a ponytail by a green band. She also has a green clip attached to the right side of her hair. Adorning her face is a pair of elliptically shaped glasses that rest atop her nose with no visible bridge between the lenses, making it have an appearance of the infinity symbol (∞). She wears a green hooded sweatshirt that has brown patches on the elbows with a white shirt underneath. She also wears a light gray mini skirt that matches her boots, and dark gray tights that stop around her ankles. She carries around with her a brown backpack that contains a notepad and a pencil with a frog eraser and is usually where One-One is placed when being carried by Tulip.

Tulip has a neon green glowing number seemingly stamped permanently onto the palm on her right hand. In the pilot, the number 53 was on her palm but after the encounter with the Steward in Corginia, it was replaced by the number 49. In Book 1, the number is 115.

Tulip's new post-pilot design was revealed first, in the official trailer for the show, before being seen again (slightly altered) in a promo.

Seven months after getting off Jimmy’s Rocketship, Tulip has cut her hair shorter and now has bangs. She wears a red and brown jacket, dark blue jeans, and gray boots.

## Personality

Tulip is intelligent for her age, with the show's creator, Owen Dennis, stating that she has, "advanced twelve-year-old logic." She is easily frustrated, getting very annoyed (in some cases, enraged) when things don't go her way. Though she has her bouts of selfishness, she is not averse in giving a helping hand when the situation is dire. A large portion of Tulip's selfish nature comes from her obsessive want to escape the train; decipher what the number on her hand means; and return to her normal life. Often times, Tulip will turn her head on a situation which won't further her in her goals, making her seem very tunnel-visioned.

"Tulip is a logical person, so she says things logically and tries to make sense of her world in a way that feels logical. That’s why she’s the perfect foil for the train. The train doesn’t make sense, so if you want conflict in your story then the best character to have to interact with something that is completely illogical and doesn’t make sense is someone who is logical and wants things to make sense. She doesn’t know everything, but she certainly knows words that are outside her peer group." —Owen Dennis

Tulip normally refers to her pencil and notebook for important things, as she likes to keep the information there. This was shown when Atticus was telling her how to open a door.

Tulip is also shown to be quite athletic, being able to overcome many physically challenging obstacles in different cars with ease. She is agile, flexible, and has incredible stamina to run long and continuous distances between the train cars.

## History

Tulip was born as the only child of Andy and Megan Olsen in North Branch, Minnesota. When Tulip was born she had a breathing complication. However, she ended up making a full recovery; something that her mom described as “bouncing back like a perennial flower”. This, in turn, is why her mother named her Tulip.

At a young age, she requested to her mother that she try eating raw onion and Megan, humoring her daughter, gave her one believing she would not like it. She did not like it at first but did not want to admit it. However, she forced herself to like them and acquired a taste for them over time.

In her early childhood, she enjoyed going on road trips with her parents as they sang and jammed in the car. However; over time it became clear that her parents had a falling out and seemed to hardly get along. One instance took place at DolphinWorld, where they argued about who should have taken to Tulip to the optometrist (as she was having a hard time watching the show from the middle of the crowd seats). The fights became so common that Tulip would wake up to check on her dad when he had to sleep on the couch.

When she was twelve or thirteen, Tulip’s parents talked to her about how they were going to separate; having realized that their marriage can not be fixed despite their best efforts to do so. Tulip is obviously upset but does not want to talk about it. Instead, she claims she is fine and yells at her parents that everything was perfect before they screwed it all up.

Over the next few months, it is clear that she does not handle the divorce well, isolating herself from talking much with either parent in favor of working on designing her game. She has even pointed out that she will avoid talking to her friends when they ask how she is handling the divorce.
