personality: {at least three paragraphs}
Olivia is a perfect blend of both of her parents at her age. While she has all of Camilla's sweetness, she has all of Trent's rage as well. She's sweet as can be, until pushed. That's when she turns into a screaming, rage-filled, beast, unmistakably like her father. She tries to check herself sometimes, but she often just can't control herself.
She puts an immense amount of pressure on herself to please her parents. As the only child born to the both of them, she feels that it is her duty to make the both of them happy. Still, it has always meant a little bit more to her to make her dad happy. Since her mom's other child is a boy, she feels a lot of competition with Serafina to be daddy's best girl. That means lots of sports, to continue her father's tradition of athleticism, much to the chagrin of her mother, who wanted a delicate, frail little bird of a daughter.This is not to say that she doesn't try to make her mother happy. She goes to dancing and singing lessons, and attempts to be the utmost of ladylike, though she isn't always successful.
Olivia is a tomboy at heart, though she has gotten more feminine as she's gotten older. At this point in her life, she is through being 'one of the guys' and finally wants to get treated like a girl. She is determined to seperate herself from the pack of guys she's usually around and develop an individual, more feminine personality.
Still, overall, Olivia is just a normal, relatively happy, teenage girl. She has her highs and her lows, and her little hormonal freak outs when she PMS-s. She is very much like her mother in her dreamy quality, though not nearly as naive. She is fully aware of what goes on around her and what goes on between other teenagers.
&& looks[/size]
hair: Much as the case with her half-sister, Olivia was also born with her father's trademark blonde hair. It's pretty long, going to past her shoulders, and is naturally wavy, though she wears it pin-straight sometime. It's often pulled back, away from her face, if not in a sloppy bun or ponytail.
eyes: Olivia has clear blue, slightly almond shaped eyes, which, according to her father, is a quality she inherited from her late Aunt Chelsea. She counts herself lucky that her lashes are slightly darker than her sister's, but that doesn't stop her from layering on the black mascara when she feels like it.
body-type: Olivia is petite and slender, with the same 'dancer' build as her mother- long, elegant limbs. She has a small waist, and while she is not built like a boy, her curves aren't so exceptional. Despite her athleticism, she mainted her delicate look, which made life as a tomboy not so easy.
dress-style: Olivia is the ultimate chameleon when it comes to her clothing style. One day she'll be in a lady-like dress, only to follow it with ill-fitting jeans, a sloppy t-shirt and converse the next day. She'll wear pretty much anything, as long as it's comfortable. However, when she wants to look pretty, she'll do anything to make sure she looks perfect.

history: (At least four paragraphs)
Olivia Peters was born on a scorching hot day in late June to Camilla Peters (nee DuBois) and her new husband Trent. Both parents were extremely happy at the arrival of their new daughter, but were even more happy that she hadn't made an early appearance at her mother's high school graduation a week earlier. Her first year of life was rather peaceful, despite the continuing uproar between her father and the mother of his first daughter, but it all changed suddenly.
The birth of a new sibling would have been a pretty simple event, but not for Olivia. When her mother brought her new brother home shortly before Thanksgiving, the awful truth was revealed- he was only her half-brother, her mother had had an affair with an old high school fling. Her father stormed out, visiting Olivia every so often, but mostly keeping his distance from her, her mother and the new baby. Finally, after several years of separation, Trent reconciled with his wife and came home to his family.
Though she was too young to realize why any of this had happened, all Olivia knew was that her daddy had left her and her mommy, and she missed him. This left Olivia with a deep-seated fear of losing her father, which she never full outgrew. This also left her with a certain amount of resentment for her half-sister, who she knew her father had spent a lot of time with during her parents' separation.
Despite the slight hiccup in her early years, Olivia grew up in a happy, loving, if somewhat odd, family. Her parents provided her with everything she ever wanted and encouraged her in every endeavor. She attended the top schools, made more friends than a child could need and participated in tons of extracurriculars, to please both her parents (Sports for Trent, Performing Arts for Camilla). Despite her mother's vision of the perfect princess of a daughter she dreamt Olivia to be, Olivia was a determined tomboy, often coming home with her pretty clothes covered in dirt and mud.
At the age of 12, her mother attempted to get her into the New York City Ballet, but Trent refused to allow his daughter to be raised the same way Camilla was- shoved into a ballet, with no friends her own age, completely sheltered from the real teenagers. Instead, Olivia attended the same private schools her father did and is currently one of the top students at the Marrimont Academy, much to her father's pride.
Olivia started going to Camp Lohikan at the age of 13, the same time that Serafina was also sent there. Their father thought it would help the girls bond, but it did the opposite- Olivia had never felt more distant from her half-sister. Since then, she has been determined to get along with her half-sister, if not for the sake of family bonding, then to make her father happy.

(from a fantasy RP I was on on gURL.com)
Selene was in a flurry preparing for her guests arrival. Rooms were being readied, party arrangements being finalized, everyone was flying about in a tizzy, yet Selene had one thought- Tristan. She had no idea what to do upon his arrival. More than anything, she wanted to grab his hand and pull him to her and declare to everyone that he was the one she loved and that she would not marry anyone else. However, she knew that this was impossible. Not only would they be watched like hawks, any hint of a connection between them and her brother would harm him and she couldn't bear that.
She poured over Nalani and Kathanie's letters. There had been no mention of Tristan, so she was not even sure if he was coming. Though she desperately wanted him to, she was torn. If he did come, she would want more than anything to be with him, but if they were caught, the consequences would be extreme. However, if he didn't come, she'd be able to go through with her arranged marriage and though she'd never forget him, she'd cope better without being confronted with him in person.
There were mentions in the letters of someone named Kazzra, however. Nalanie and Kathanie did not seem overly fond of her, however, she was coming too. Selene made sure that she got the room with the least appealing view. It was a small victory over someone who seemed to be causing her friends much misery. She smiled to herself, knowing that many more small victories could be one in the weeks her friends would be there.
Selene returned the letters to her pocket and took a deep breath before entering her room. Her brother had requested that she have new gowns made for the occasions of her birthday and her impending marriage, and the specifications he gave to the dressmakers certainly did not say much for his sense of style. Still, Selene thought it was best she looked unpleasant- perhaps it would defer not only Tristan, but any other possible suitor. She laughed bitterly to herself at the thought of men turning away from her in ugly gowns as she crossed the threshold into her room to be fitted for her new life.
