Olivine was born 12 years before the Hunger Games in a wicker basket in the confines of an underground fallout complex. At the age of 15, Olivine would leave the confines of her complex to work under the earliest iterations of the official stylists. The young Vivi Birdwhistle would become an iconic propaganda model for the war efforts working for Saunders P. Crowe, inspiring Capitol loyalists during an era of depression and explosions. 

Working under the stylists, she would come to meet the first victors, who would become cultural heroes to the nation. Olivine would cut the hair of early legends such as Babe Adroxis and Terra Montague. As the Hunger Games grew, so did Birdwhistle's career. She would become an iconic piece herself as she continues to work under Saunders. 

It wouldn't be until the early 20's that the Film industry in Panem begins to grow since the Dark Days, which inspires Birdwhistle to pursue a career of acting. She would marry fellow thespian, Johnny Ford, after working together on multiple sets. At 28 years old, Olivine gives birth to her first and only daughter, Margaret "Rita" Ford. 

Margarita would grow to be an atrocious woman the publicity loves to tear apart. A child spoiled rotten, it's no surprise she turned out the way she did. After Johnny Ford's passing from cancer, Margarita would make frequent stays in rehab, leaving her son in Olivine's care. From a young age, Romeo Ford would always be a very flamboyant child, eccentrically expressing himself as early as middle school. 

In other words, he's gay as hell. 

When Romeo turned eighteen years old, Olivine signed to become his benefactor guardian, spoiling him while funding his passion for beauty and fine arts. The two have a decent relationship, with Olivine financially raising him since he was a child. Their relationship would become strained as Romeo aged into a young adult, as Olivine would come to critique and censor the work he produced while living under her. 

Romeo would later come to move out and into his own apartment as his career flourished, leaving Olivine with the ever burning question of: what now? She had spent her near-century acting and modeling, parenting and wife-ing -- as she nears 100 years old, Dame Ford would dedicate her wealth towards Fashion for the Homeless, a Capitolite Charity that provides designer bags and red-bottom heels to models across the Capitol. 

On the eve of retirement, she would sell her mansion and live off the grid for a year, only making appearances when she was receiving an award of some kind. It was during this time that Olivine Ford would release a series of informational books, multiple autobiographies and a guide to faking it until you are making it. She would come to resurface during the 89th Hunger Games as a spokesperson for Minimal Living advertisements. 

When she isn't working for the eye of the media, Olivine works tirelessly to promote an Off-the-Grid lifestyle, preaching all about it in her most recent publication: Fallout Shelters for the Fashionable. This book covers a variety of topics such as building wicker baskets out of dried hay, how to grow sustainable mushrooms, and an excerpt on life during the Dark Days. 

As Olivine herself once said, a working dog has more to do than break old habits. At the age of 99, the Dame has yet to fully retire in her more feeble state. 

The Buzz reports Olivine's six cosmetic surgeries over the year of the 88th Hunger Games, with a medical file almost that same width. "I always say, fake it til you make it... or at least until you buy it," she would respond when asked about the reports of her latest head-of-hair replacement surgery. Olivine would later deny ever saying the quote. 

There aren't many women like Olivine Ford left in Panem. The majority of them died a long time ago, and the rest have been sent to nursing homes by their children. 

Thankfully, Olivine sent her daughter away first! 

On the eve of the 89th Hunger Games, the Dame Olivine Ford is interviewed by local drag queen, Ash Fixated, and speaks of the early decades of Panem, the first victors, and her experience as a Gamemaker. After the interview is aired, historians of social media would fact check and debunk the majority of what was covered. 

There was one thing Olivine got correct, though: there has never been a badder bitch in History.
