Olivia Moore

Olivia "Liv" Moore is the main protagonist of iZombie: Heroes Among Us.

Background
She was a medical resident who was scratched by a zombie during a party and woke up as a zombie. As a result of her new zombiehood, she must feed on brains at least once a month to survive. She took a job at the King County Medical Examiner's Office in order to have access to the brains she needs. Whenever she devours a brain, she absorbs new memories and traits of the person that died. She then becomes a part-time vigilante, and begins to use her zombie powers to help solve crimes.

She also becomes a member of The Teen Avengers.

Personality
Liv is described by many characters as disciplined and over-achieving. She is said to be very energetic and having a "type A" personality. Whenever she gets mad, she is an unstoppable force and even more hyper-focused.

Prior to her transformation into a zombie, Liv was laser-focused on her academics and career as well as her habit of planning out her entire life. Despite this, Liv was still a loyal friend and an overall very positive individual. Since becoming a zombie, her personality has drastically changed. She's become less driven to do things and achieve goals due to having lost hope for her future since becoming a zombie and is unsure if there's a cure for it. She's also become less involved in the community and more reserved. However, she is very sarcastic now.

Human
As a human, Olivia was a rosy-cheeked young woman who had long, brown hair. She also had light blue eyes and pale skin, though not zombie-pale.

Zombie
As a Zombie, Liv has hair and skin that are so light, they are practically white. Her eyes are still the same shade of blue although her eyes do turn red when she loses control and have dark circles around them. The way she dresses has almost become more dark and Goth because of the transformation.

Powers and Abilities

 * Memory Absorption: When Liv consumes a new brain, she also absorbs the memories of the deceased. They appear to her as visions, and allow her to experience what the deceased was feeling when the memory occurred. Since most of the brains she consumes come from victims of a homicide, they are usually violent and often leave Liv shaken afterward. As a side effect, Liv also develops the personal characteristics of the individual whose brain she has consumed, which at times has caused her to develop various phobias and personality disorders.
 * Pseudo-Immortality: Being trapped in a paradox between life and death, Liv is unfettered with the limitations of either. This was seen when Liv was shot at point-blank range, only for her to get up a short moment later. She cannot die from grievous injuries, aside from injuries to the brain. As a zombie, Liv does not physically age.
 * Trait/Skill Absorption: When she consumes the brain of a person, Liv temporarily absorbs some of their personality traits and individual skills.
 * "Full-On Zombie Mode": When Liv experiences an adrenaline rush, Liv's zombie characteristics fully surface, causing her eyes to turn into those of a zombie's and allowing her to access physical strength and speed that surpasses humans, and further reduces sensitivity to pain or trauma.
 * Enhanced Strength/Endurance: While in "Full-On Zombie Mode" Liv possesses significantly enhanced physical strength, this has allowed her to easily knock back and overpower people larger and heavier than her. Liv also possesses tremendous endurance, allowing her to sustain injuries such as gunshots and stab wounds, and continue to function without hinderance.
 * Enhanced Speed/Agility: During "Full-On Zombie Mode", Liv is able to move with tremendous physical speed and athleticism. Liv is able to run much faster than any human; she can also move with unnatural agility.
 * Zombie Siring: As a zombie, Liv possesses the ability to infect other beings with the zombie virus. While it is usually transferred by scratching or biting a victim, zombies can also transmit the zombie virus through sexual intercourse.

Trivia

 * She ironically loves zombie media, most notably The Walking Dead.
 * She can only taste food if it's very spicy.
