| Bio: | Full Name: Olivia Bell Date of Birth and/or Age: 16 years old, born 10/26/1851 Sexual Preference: heterosexual Ethnic Background: Mixed Mexican/American Occupation: Works as a seamstress/dressmaker Family: Parents Thomas and Augusta Bell, Grandmother (father's mother) Martha Ellis Current Residence: She is currently living with her grandmother in a town called Downieville, CA. Appearance: Brown eyes and black hair. She has noticeable hispanic features but takes after her father's side of the family more. Her dresses usually keep up with current style, a habit she picked up while living in San Francisco, and are usually light and cheerful colored. Personality: Olivia is a softspoken and polite girl until you get to know her, then she becomes very opinionated. Her quietness does not mean she is a pushover and she has been known to stand up for herself quite forcefully. Attacks against her usually take the form of insults upon her heritage. It was for this reason that she keeps quiet about the fact that she knows some Spanish and tries to blend in as an American. She is also something of a dreamer and can often be found humming cheerfully to herself while sewing. One of her greatest dreams is to own her own shop, right now she works out of her grandmother's house. She gets along very well with her grandmother who seems strict at first glance but is actually a sweet and caring woman. They understand each other well. Special Skills/Weapons Used: Taught by her mother to be a seamstress/dressmaker. She also gardens with her grandmother and is quite patient while gold panning (her father taught her). She has never needed to use weapons before but if threatened she's good at using her surroundings to help her. Weaknesses: She never fully learned Spanish in an attempt to hide her heritage. She did pick up words and phrases from her mother whose first language was Spanish but she is not fluent herself. She has never fired a gun and has had no need to learn. Olivia also does not ride horses unless necessary. History Olivia's father Thomas and grandmother Martha arrived overland to California in 1849 during gold rush fever. Martha was newly widowed, her husband died from cholera during the trip. They stayed for a few months in a growing mining town (Downieville). Martha ended up staying while Thomas moved on to San Francisco to look for more work as a miner. There he met Augusta, who was born in California and is the daughter of a Mexican miner. They married in 1850, Olivia was born a year later. Olivia spent her early years in San Francisco with her parents. Her mother worked as a seamstress and taught Olivia to do the same. Thomas died from a mining accident in 1862 when Olivia was 11 and Augusta, having no where else to go, took them both to live with Martha, whom neither of them had ever met. Augusta herself died from a sickness in 1865 when Olivia was 14. Two years later, Downieville began experiencing a downturn and Olivia and Martha decided to move to New Shelby in search of a change. ==================================================================== The character Olivia Bell (played by the lovely America Ferrera) is an original character and belongs to me, korepersephone.
