First Scene: n/a
Background:

Fred was originally from America. She grew up in Chicago, where she saw her share of strange things. She loved the big city. She grew up there with her parents and three siblings. She was the oldest and she became a second mother to them. She went to High School there. That was a while ago. She came to live in England, specifically Cardiff, when she was eighteen. She went to college there, and during those years, she kept herself out of trouble. She learned to fight, not only martial arts, but things a little bit older and newer. She even broke a guy's arm during practice. She knew she was a knack for it then. But her true passion lay in history and books. She absorbed them, losing herself. It was then she first stumbled onto the myth of the Doctor. Loving to read but not believe, she was skeptical and sarcastic. But she knew she'd seen too many strange things to entirely discount it. So she read and learned, and soon she was out of college.

After that, she seemed to be in a limbo, hardly living. She studied more and became something of a Jack-Of-All-Trades, specializing in weapons and fighting styles. But even that didn't do much for her. It didn't feel right. But strange things started happening around Cardiff, things even she couldn't ignore. Maybe it was the American in her, maybe it was something else, fate maybe. Though it was mainly males, she found out about the Fight Club type ring with the Weevils that her boyfriend/fiance was a part of. She took her turn in the ring, and she was pleased with the result. It was a little before that she started going by Olivia, though she couldn't explain why. She wanted to start a new life, or change herself somehow. She felt that it was a changing point for her. She was going back to the Weevils when Owen and the others shut it down. She dumped her boyfriend/fiance then, realizing why he had wanted to do it in the first place and wanting no part of his sorrows. She realized she'd been trying to help him for a long time.

She followed the others back to Torchwood, but it led her nowhere. They just disappeared by a fountain thing. She would have given up, but it kept nagging at her and she couldn't let it go. So in the meantime, she found out all she could about these things she had seen. She discovered Torchwood, or at least the myth, much like the Doctor. She was fascinated. She asked around, and she was shocked to find that the place she was led to was a tourist information centre. She came in and acted the part of a tourist, though she'd lived there most of her life. The accent helped. But it didn't work. She let slip about the Weevils, and before she knew it, she was talking about Weevils and the Doctor and Torchwood and everything she'd seen at one time or another, and how she believed now, and how great it was. She still maintains it was a truth serum of some sort. She vaguely remembers something about a fish and a guy named John being mentioned, but the details of that night are hazy at best. Maybe it was the mention of the Doctor, or maybe she was just a nice person, but she was asked to join Torchwood after that and she readily accepted. Or rather, she begged to be a part of it all, to prove herself, and Jack agreed.

Though she's part of the team, she keeps to herself most of the time, at least at the Hub. She likes it that way. But she does enjoy the others' company and she considers them extended family. She likes being at Torchwood too, and considers it her main home.
