She was a twelve-year-old orphan who resided at Grace Field House Plant 3 under the parental care of Isabella. Being two years older than Norman, Emma and Ray,[3] Olivia acted as the three's older sister figure and had helped them and cared for them on numerous occasions.

History[]
Olivia in 2039.
Olivia amongst many children that were shipped out of Grace Field House Plant 3.
Olivia was born at Grace Field on April 9, 2032 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2033, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Sometime in the winter of 2039, when Norman fainted and got sick when he was playing with Emma and Ray out in the cold, open air, Emma was caught sneaking into the infirmary to visit Norman. Emma was then tied to a chair by Isabella. Olivia remarked on how it was no surprise to see an overly-active person like Emma to be restrained, and how it would be best to let Norman rest. However, after Emma frantically explained how Norman might be lonely without anyone's company, Olivia encouraged the other orphans in the room to pay a visit to Norman together. Olivia, along with her best friend Michelle, begged for Isabella's permission to enter the infirmary to see Norman but to no avail. In the end, while standing outside the infirmary, Olivia and the others happily watched Emma talking to Norman over a tin can telephone.[5] Olivia was shipped out of Grace Field on her 12th birthday on April 9, 2044. She was killed and fed to the high-ranking demons in the Imperial Capital.[6] Olivia was the child shipped before Jimmy.

Just like all the other orphans, She wore the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and a white skirt along with brown boots. Her identification number is tattooed on the left side of her neck.

Olivia was a caring and kind-hearted girl and treated her younger siblings dearly, evident when she begged for Isabella's permission to visit a sickly Norman in Grace Field's medical room. She was very athletic and intelligent and was implied to get perfect scores on her tests. Olivia also appeared to be quite studious, as she enjoyed reading and studying with her close friend, Michelle, to prepare for the tests.[7] Like all of her siblings, she enjoyed playing tag and hide-and-seek.

Emma has a deep regard for Olivia, as she is a part of her "family". Upon learning that all of their sibling that had been shipped out were dead, Emma and Norman cry and are grief stricken. Although, Ray had learned to mask his emotions over the years, he still deeply cared for his siblings and was sad whenever someone was shipped out. Ray described all of his siblings that had been shipped out as "good kids" who were "so kind and carefree."
