## Personality

There are three words to describe Liv: methodical, oblivious, and skittish. Having grown up as the only daughter of 5 children, Liv is used to being bullied from her family and it causes her to have a hard time opening up to people. Her mother placed high expectations on her, as the only daughter of their family, so Liv tends to set high goals for herself**—** but often falls short of the unreachable ones. She is determined and persistent in her workplace goals, but can easily be dissuaded if she doesn't attain them.

Liv suffers from imposter syndrome and is often the harshest critic in her own head. Having lied to her parents about being in medical school, she hopes to rise up in the ranks of LSPD to show her family that she made something out of herself. In her free time, Liv likes to go on hikes, dress up her cats, and cosplay anime characters that she is too embarrassed to say.

Having grown up as an obese child, Liv also suffers from body dysmorphia and constantly sees an overweight individual whenever she looks into the mirror. She is extremely calorie-conscious, to the point of having passed out from not eating. Even her doctors have warned her that she is underweight and needs to start eating more, but she does not follow their medical advice. When she graduated from high school, she got addicted to cigarettes and will often use it as a way to quell her stress and stave off hunger.

Due to being the youngest in her family, Liv has a bit of temper when it comes to being picked on, or bullied. She is known to retaliate at people who unjustly criticize her.

## **Background**

Olivia de la Cruz Breslin grew up in the South Side, in a cramped apartment behind the Vanilla Unicorn. She was often overlooked as a child, because she was the last child born. Her parents would often argue, violently, until their divorce. The constant fighting stressed her mother out so much that she left her father and took one of her brothers back to the Philippines. Their relationship caused Liv to stop believing in things like "true love," or "soulmates" and further sink herself into her studies, work, obsessions, etc. She found comfort in eating copious amounts of food and grew up as an obese child. On top of getting picked on at home, she was often bullied at school for being overweight. She once was chased by a stray dog who chased her for 20 minutes, before biting her on the ass and causing her to go to the hospital. Liv had to be in the hospital for a few weeks and get a rabies shot. To keep her company, a nurse would bring in one of her cats to calm her down when she would get anxiety attacks from remembering the incident.

Liv continues to have a fear of stray dogs, but has no problem with owned dogs or K-9 units. She has a scar on the top side of her buttocks from the dog bite. In high school, she dated a classmate who eventually left her for "another girl who was skinnier and prettier" than her and she often tries to repress this memory. After being severely depressed over the bullying and her first boyfriend leaving her, she isolated herself from the world and start volunteering at a cat rescue center, where she fell more deeply in love with the feline species. Nowadays, Liv has 3 cats and plans to adopt even more to compensate for her lack of companionship.

Olivia's parents divorced right before high school and caused their family to split apart, with her mother taking her brother Lefrain back to the Philippines and her father taking care of Lance and Liv, while Leroy and Liam had already moved out of their family home. Liv accounts her parents divorce to part of the reason she doesn't take romance or love very seriously.

## **LSPD**

Liv started off her career as a police officer a few years ago, as a bright-eyed cadet, ready to make something of herself. She came from no wealth, but from a family of high expectations. By the time she graduated from high school, she was expected to either become a doctor, lawyer, or nurse**—**highly respected professions and the only way her multi-cultural family could become proud of her. She was a top performer at her high school, always involved in sports and excelling in every class she went into. She was a grade A people pleaser and wanted people to know how well she could be of service to them. Once she graduated, she fell off and started giving herself too much breathing room. No longer was she under the guise of her overbearing, yet good-natured parents, but she could hardly take two steps on her own**—**without guidance, without mentorship, she was a sitting pup. After failing to get into several of the top schools that her parents were assured she would get into, she decided to apply for the Police Academy, after seeing a police officer climb up a tree to save a stranded cat. Upon registering for the academy, Liv officially changed her name from Olivia to Liv with the government, to help conceal a bit of her identity from her parents**—** should she happen to run into them.

She was inspired to do good in the world, something that she had made a decision to get into all by herself. This was her dream and her passion, but she wasn't prepared for what was to come. When she started the police academy, she was naïve and often never questioned the good in people. She was considered too "soft" by her peers and wondered whether this profession was really for her**—**if failure was the only thing she could complete now.  After letting criminals take advantage of her kindness for far too long, she eventually found herself in a predicament where she was shot by a gang member**—**except this gang member was someone she knew and thought she could trust, a lady who worked at the nearby cafe that she frequented.

Filled with regret, resentment, and most of all anger, Liv promised herself that she would no longer become someone else's doormat. Throughout her police career, she become good friends with fellow police officers Vic Vendrel, who she considers her mentor, Becca Banes, her right-hand woman, Bashar Bennett, her partner through cadet phase, and 'Ringo,' her newly-met acquaintance who would become a good friend of hers. Incidents which lead to her friends' getting shot, stabbed, and even scalped, lead Liv to turn from the "soft" person she was, to become a newly-found "hard" Liv.

She would no longer give criminals the benefit of the doubt, but would pursue the extent of the law to the fullest, making sure everyone was put to justice. Despite her shortcomings, Liv found a new passion within herself and strove to be the best detective in CID that she could ever be. Her paperwork was top-notch, her interrogations improving, and she was learning to be an expert when it came to legislation. Her growth wasn't unfounded within the criminal realm and she eventually was targeted by a known Brokers member, who stalked her, stabbed her in the neck, and found out where she lived. This caused Liv to question her growth, question if she should even become an officer, but she knew there was no one better to do this job, but her. She wanted to keep her position as a police officer, but was having to pay too much to live out of motels due to the fact that this gang member knew where she lived, her birthdate, her full name, and everything she wanted to keep hidden about her. She had to go into hiding. And from that hiding, she decided to leave her previous city and start anew somewhere else**—**a brand new start to her career, in order to escape from this gang member.

## **Relationships**

* **Shae Vercetti-Rema**

One of the first ever friendships that Liv ever made in Los Santos, Shae was one of her supervisors during the mandatory DOC phase that all PD Recruits go through. She is a positive reinforcement in Liv's life and helped prepare Liv for her cadet phase before she transferred to LSPD. Liv still considers Shae a good friend of hers, even though they do not see each other very often as they are both busy with their work, but Liv is always happy to chat with Shae during meetings.

* **Evelynn Pierce**

Liv met Eve as a fresh cadet within the BCSO and enjoys her company very much so. Although their friendship is still very new, Liv sees great potential within Evelynn and honestly sees a bit of herself in her. They're both very focused on their careers and Liv is excited to see how far their friendship can go!

* **Gab Girard**

He is Liv's first romantic interest in the city of Los Santos and has been a positive influence on her life ever since they started developing a friendship. During a Fleeca robbery scene, Mr. Girard *accidentally* drove his car into the gas station that Liv was using and blew both of them up, causing them both to 13-Bravo (Non-Emergency Officer Down) and request medical attention. This was one of the very first interactions Liv ever had with Gab.

Liv knew of Gab in passing and would sometimes double up with him, but didn't really get to know him until September 2023. She took an interest in getting her AIR-1 certification after going on an extended leave of absence. Gab, being an AIR-1 Instructor, offered to help her practice and she found his patience and positive encouragement to be quite endearing, making her feel safe and comfortable around him. During this time, Liv started to develop a bit of a crush on him and started to keep track of things Gab liked, like what kind of food he enjoys (Soochi's). So, every day she made it a point to bring Gab food from Soochi's, making sure he didn't get hungry on her watch. Like a cat, she would gift him with things that she thought he would appreciate. She even tries to practice her French around him, so she can speak his native language. To reciprocate the favors, Gab will often mentor her on ways she could improve on being an officer and give her constructive feedback. He will also teach her new French words, including swear words. Liv will sometimes teach him words in Tagalog/Filipino, as well. He also likes to call Liv "beautiful" randomly, which catches her off guard and unable to speak sometimes.

There was a day where Liv accidentally called Gab another name, Kip, about six times. Kip Dwyer, being one of Liv's good friends in LSPD, one could assume that there was more going on, but there wasn't. This caused Gab to question whether Liv really liked him or liked Kip instead, but Liv assured Gab that she just always gets mad at Kip, so anytime she would yell at Gab, his name would slip out. She also suffers from severe ACDC. This mistake hasn't happened again after that day.

Eventually, Gab decided to ask Liv out on their first date, after she asked if he was going to the Grand Ball event. They decided to go together in matching outfits to the ball and had their first date right before the event, by the beach. Liv very much enjoys spending time with Gab and getting to know him, and will get jealous over him sometimes. This can sometimes cause her to act irrationally and possessive for a few moments, but she always regains her composure.

* **Kip Dwyer**

Liv and Kip were in the same PD Bootcamp class together, and they are 2 out of 5 recruits that are still active officers within SASP. Although Liv states that Kip practically ignored her entire existence throughout DOC phase, he disagrees. Liv considers Kip one of her good friends within LSPD and often gets on Kip's nerves with things that she does, (like saying "Go for Breslin" when answering his phone calls). Liv has asked him for money for PD supplies when she's broke and she'll often ask for advice (when it comes to Gab) from Kip, as he is engaged to Rhose, another French Canadian. She mistook Brice Adler for Kip one time. Just the one time.

One of the very first memories Liv has of Kip is tripling up with him and Aria, while Aria claimed that Kip "does not get jealous" and "is a bully." This caused Liv to think that Kip was a bully, at first, but she found out very quickly that he is literally sarcastic like 99.99999998% of the time. Liv and Tony Trasher yelled at Kip over the radio one time and told him to never apologize for losing a suspect during a pursuit.

* **Mellara Kimber Albright**

Mellara was one of the first people that Liv ever met in Los Santos and Liv really missed her during her leave of absence from SAO. Being both Filipino, they have a strong bond between the two and Liv considers her a good friend. When Mellara came back from her LOA, she ran into Liv at the Sandy Shores Station and asked if she was single and Liv said she was, but she was trying to get to know Gab Girard. Mellara really likes the two of them together and ships them often, even writing it into her little matchbook. She will often ask Liv how her and Gab are doing and see if they finally have decided to go steady with one another. Likewise, Liv will ask Mellara how her dates have been going, wanting to go on many double or triple dates with her, as she always has a great time around her.

Liv and Mellara have a passion for making music and will share their newly created songs with each other. They both encourage each other to continue making music.

* **Sofia Gomez**

She is a good friend of Liv's and has been around her since her cadet phase. Liv always enjoys her time with Sofia and looks up to her as a great role model within LSPD. She met Sofia when they would triple with Kylo during shifts. Liv is protective over her and would defend her if people ever came to bully her, especially when Sofia was confronted over the tweets she made about Alonzo being married.

Liv misread a text message she received from Gab one time, thinking that he may have feelings for Sofia and ended up telling Sofia this. Sofia quickly dismissed it and said that he didn't feel that way for her. Liv ended up talking things out with Gab and called Sofia over the phone, apologizing. Nowadays, Liv spends her time trying to set up Sofia with Leon, ever since she saw them hanging out off-duty one shift, because she really wants to go out on double dates with her friends.

* **Curstaidh Davis-Dawson** aka Cat

Cat is a good friend of Liv's and one of the reasons Liv was even hired as a PD recruit. She conducted Liv's interview in 2022 and Liv considers her like a big sister or "ate" (ah-tay) as they are both Filipino. Liv can usually catch and ride-along with her during first shift. Cat can always turn an awkward situation, even more awkward, considering she tried to call out Kylo, for ramming Liv's car a bit too often during a driving course, as "flirting." She has also tried to encourage Liv to do more strength training, but that always ends up failing because Liv literally has like barely any muscle in her tiny body.

Liv has come to Cat asking for advice on boys, since Liv is usually very awkward and oblivious to any advancements made towards her. When Shae told her that her brother had a crush on her, Liv didn't know how to react and went straight to Cat for help. Liv always has a great time riding with Cat, especially when they have a cadet with them. Liv also copies Cat when she pulls people over and gives them the "schpiel" - which is the lecture that Cat gives to people pulled over for speeding AKA "stop speeding because we don't want you to get hurt!" Sometimes, Liv will confuse Cat and her mother Claire, but recently, that hasn't been an issue.

* **Madeline Gumtree**

Gumtree has been a strong mentor to Liv in her cadet phase and Liv still respects her very much so. Although they have not run into each other very often, Liv holds fond memories of Gumtree commanding her to jump out of a moving vehicle or chasing suspects on foot during bike patrol. Or that one time Liv blew them up at the Paleto gas station and blamed the "trash can," Gumtree prepared herself for the worst. She owes a lot of her training and professionalism to Gumtree and will often cite certain things she does, like taking evidence locker photos and telling suspects that "time served" is a privilege, not a right, to the intense training that Gumtree put her through as a cadet. For that, Liv is ever grateful to her.

* **Ayla Beckett**

Ayla was in Liv's bootcamp class and the two are friendly with each other every time they see each other on shift. Liv is proud of the fact that Ayla is in the Troopers now and is amazed to see at how much she has improved throughout the months. The two will often encourage each other whenever they are in a training course together.

* **Jack Dawson**

Captain Dawson is someone that Liv fears and respects. Dawson often tells Liv that she needs to be more of a "cunt," to which Liv tries, even going so far as to go into her "Hard Liv Arcs." His attitude and the way he manages the LSPD reminds her of her very first mentor, Vic Vindrel. They were both very loud and strong-headed, but they both meant well and always encouraged Liv to become a better police officer. Dawson likes to troll Liv, telling her that he "hates" her in public, leaving her confused. But many people have told Liv that Dawson only acts mean because he likes you as a person, so she does her best to grow a thick skin and roll with the punches. He enjoys asking Liv very inappropriate questions. He also likes to make fun of her MDT photos, but says that he is just being honest.

One time, Dawson yelled at her because she told him that he made her miss Gab and Liv's first date, which made her quickly regret ever raising her voice. Liv thinks that Dawson is a great Captain and wishes that one day she could command the level of respect he has in the department.

* **James Gamble**

Liv met Gamble for the first time when he was a PD recruit, and then later, as a cadet. Gamble liked to tease Liv often and try to talk her out of her "mental breakdowns" during hostage scenarios. He also has tried to insinuate that Gumtree was calling Liv a "bimbo" one night. During a ride-along, Liv accidentally frisked him in a vehicle. Even though she apologized profusely, Gamble went around and told his girlfriend at the time, July, during the PD meeting. Liv, fearing her own death by July's hands, tried to clear up any misunderstandings and then ran away scared out of her mind.

Despite everything, Liv considered him to be a great officer and was very saddened to see that he was killed. She spent a few silent moments in front of the SASP Memorial when she found out that he had passed away. He became the first friend that she lost and his death impacted her greatly.

* **Randy Earnhardt**

Likes to thump Liv's forehead.

* **Kylo King**

Liv once considered Kylo a good friend of hers, they would often double up or triple up (with Sofia) and catch criminals together. One time, he made fun of her all-white LSPD uniform, especially her shoes and told her to change them. Liv nervously took off her shoes immediately and ran out of the cells of VPD barefoot. She stopped wearing the all-white uniform after he said it makes her look like a "sperm cell," but Gab convinced her to wear the uniform again recently. She would often remark that Kylo's music is very "vulgar" while citing the many sex references in his songs. However, they have not spoken very often recently since he quit LSPD and is now working in the DOJ. He got too busy and told her, to her face, that he was just too popular and that he has "better friends now." This left Liv very sad over their friendship and hasn't spoken much to him since.

* **Nick Celozzi**

Nick was the cadet that told Liv to change her hair color, so she would stop getting mistaken for other people. Because of him, her hair is now lavender, instead of her natural black hair.

* **Jack Reacher**

Mr. Reacher and Liv met in Benny's one late night and she had asked for some food, as she was getting hungry. He gave her edibles from The Little Teapot, which caused her to be high on duty. Because of her extremely low tolerance of any kind of recreational drug, she felt super dizzy and sick. Now, she accuses Reacher of giving her drugs purposefully. He tries to offer her food (and drugs), but she declines constantly. She doesn't trust him at all.

* **Jimmy Hammels**

Liv's sworn enemy. He said a rude thing about her song and then punched her in the face in front of officers (Gab included), hostages, and suspected bank robbers. Forever on Liv's shit list.
