''Notable Possessions:'' Cr40,000 and various forged IDs, hidden in the galaxy's creepiest teddy bear. Custom blade; holdout pistol; PDA; lockpicking kit; flashlight.

''Appearance:'' 140cm, 32kg, appears to be a 10-year-old child. However, close inspection will reveal many scars, now healing, across her body.

''Background:'' Olivia is living proof and evidence as to why you should never give anagathics to children. 

Born Olivia deHavilland, her parents—drug smugglers—had been using her as a drug mule for black-market anagathic drugs. Four of the eight containers hidden in her stomach ruptured, causing a near-lethal overdose. She was in treatment for a year. It came to pass that the massive overdose greatly retarded her physical growth; the incident was over twenty years ago, yet physically she has only aged ''two.'' 

She left the Imperial Orphanage on her own recognizance at 12 and headed out on her own, destined to make the Universe her own little oyster, or grab a pearl or two to call her own. (Her parents, to the best of her knowledge, are still in prison. ) 

Since then she's made quite a few cons—how many marks wouldn't trust a child?—and one big score when she was sixteen. On the downside, she's on her fifth ID, and thanking the gods for the war, because it wiped out enough records for her to make a clean break with the past. During the war, she'd done courier work and some cons, and spent some time in a Sword World internment center which she doesn't like to talk about. She was released, and now has a legitimate Imperial ID as a liberated orphan, given to her before she walked out of the Naval orphanage.

She threw in with the party just to get the hell off of Biter, but has found herself staying for the camaraderie. They think she's a little nuts—she's done the child act for so long, that it often takes conscious effort to act her real age (except when she's making dirty jokes)—but they're crazy, too.
