claudia harris-thompson

Name: Olivia Fresnel Harris-Thompson

Gender: Female

General Appearance: No one can say who Olivia looks like mostly due to the fact she is a rather perfect mixture of both her parents.  

Personality: Sweet but silly– a perfect mixture of her parents. Much like her father, she knows no stranger and, as with her mother, she is constantly creating. Her favor medium is watercolor paints.

Special Talents: Uncle Jimmy taught her how to focus lights when she was nine and she’s quicker at it than most of the staff at GMTF. She’s also a bit fearless when it comes to heights which terrifies both her parents. 

Who they like better: Both! Despite all their worries before she was born, Lia and Kevin managed to balance their work/family life very well.

Who they take after more: Its pretty much both though Kevin will always say she is, thankfully, more like her mother.

Personal Head canon: Liv’s middle name originates from a drunken bet between Kevin and Jimmy which Kevin lost. Kevin assumed Lia would put a stop to the whole thing but she, surprisingly, agreed saying that they’d never have to worry about their daughter having a generic name.

Face Claim: Violet McGraw (I guess?)

Hahahaha omg it’s like she’s his mom bc she’s like ‘honey i need you to stand still so i can make sure you’re ok’ and he’s like ‘i don’t want to!!!!’ and whining the whole time she’s trying to help him smdh  Lia forever managing the tulle just so just in case he comes bursting in again aklsdjflksjdaklfj  She’s way too good for him hahah  That being said, idk how much they realistically see of each other?

haha I feel like honestly lia is just the GMTF Mom™ ;) 

anyway, I agree??? IDK that they will interact that much? I do think that she brings everyone baked goods aLL the time!!!! and she’d def drop some off to him and gin 

Gin: cupcakes are stupid

also Gin: *eats five* 

Ok, so I feel like, if you think Lia has been around here before, these two might’ve dated when they were younger?????  Connor would just be so!!! charmed!!!! by someone as sweet and generous and open as Lia and, while (clearly) it didn’t work out, I can totally see it having potentially happened?  Thoughts?  Ofc if she wasn’t around Bingley/has always been w her hubby it’s a no-go.

Lia: ok text me when you get home

Mel: *rolls eyes* ok mom *secretly feels loved and supported*

Also, I feel like Mel is supER protective of Lia!!!!!  If you mess w her, you mess w Mel!!!!!!  Once Mel started crying while eating a cupcake bc it was so!!!! tasty!!!! (and she secretly really needed it ;DDD)  I also feel like Mel tries to help Lia stand up for herself more when Lia’s being too altruistic, but I also feel like this has the potential to backfire a bit, sometimes?????  She just does it bc she cares, I swear.  Also, Mel appreciates how much Lia plans but I think she also sometimes is like ‘honey, you know i love that you’re thinking about this so much, but maybe it’s time to choose w your heart instead of your brain’ when it comes to the whole baby question (which may or may noT be good advice but that Mel hahaha).

Lia: someone somewhere is meeting the love of their life right now and that’s pretty cool

Mel: *looks directly into the camera like she’s on the office* *sighs* i love you, you goob

and honestly, I feel like lia worries about mel a lot too in different ways haha (see the text messages!!!!) and tbh she’s sO Much the mom friend that mel probably calls her “mom” more than she calls her lia haha like i feel like lia always brings more food than she will eat for lunch and is constantly trying to feed eloise and mel and honestly evERYONe and just wants u to be happy and safe and living at the end of a fairy tale haha 

and yeah I feel like lia does realize (sometimes) that she needs to stand up for herself but sometimes i don’t think she even realizes that it is a problem haha so honestly it is probably good to have someone like mel who can like bring it to her attention???? 

hahah omgggggg that is 10000%%% a convo that has actually happened and i feel like lia says dumb super optimistic and mushy things like that all the time and then gets called a goob by mel aldkjfaldjfladfj i love it

Lizzy! Yes yes! They’re adorable friends!

I feel like Elsie definitely needed a mom friend when she first moved to town. Like she is incredibly self sufficient in many ways, but it was such a change moving out of the city, it was nice for someone to tell her the way things are! And she probably rolls her eyes lovingly at each text message but secretly loves it, haha! 

I could see Elsie coming over to hide own in the Lia’s shop whenever she gets too stressed out in her office. Its a good hiding place, but she can still pretend she’s working, haha! Also i invision them having craft night? hahah

ok lia is all about letting eloise hide in her shop!!!!! tbh she probably has a constant supply of tea (i feel like lia has a problem with drinking too much of it???) so there’s probably always something hot to drink and a bake good waiting for her whenever she needs a break <3333
