Olivia is a typical girl currently a senior in high school. She has a very innocent personality and has a peculiarly big heart. Olivia lives in San Diego with both of her parents; She holds a good relationship with both of her parents and helps in everything that she can in the house. She has been told since she was a little girl that she should model because she is extremely beautiful. She star†ed modeling for a local agency when she was 14 years old and since then, she's been in the newspaper and in small jobs. Olivia is a girl that lives in a bubble. She's never been out of her city and her god attitude has driven her where she is in life. One day, Olivia decided to take a step ahead on her career and her parents hired a personal trainer who taught her the basic information she needs to know for a prestigious LA model agency. Once she is accepted in the agency, Olivia drops out of school and moves by herself in a model apartment complex. The LA environment changes Olivia's personality completely; She gets involved with bad influences, Maia Stainman, abuses of drugs and suffers of eating disorders. Also, Olivia is betrayed multiple times by people who she thought were her best friends. Because of these factors, she becomes a complete different person. She becomes skeptical of everyone in her life, self-conscious, cares too much about who she surrounds herself with, looks for revenge and is not afraid of hurting someone in order to escalate in the model industry.
Olivia, after embarrassing herself in a runway, she felt there was no point of living anymore. She experiences a near-death-experience when she tried to commit suicide but it's stopped by Logan, his friend from Irvine.
