Liv Malone

She's that funny comment in the awkward situation. Under all that she has a lot of substance to her and her coolness is just a farce. The truth is that she is trying as much as the rest of the group to be something else. She's got balls but she really wants to be this strong person who doesn't allow herself to be hurt by others. I think Liv just wants to be loved. Liv is the hardest character to play in the group, she isn't the bitch, she isn't the vulnerable one or the funny one, she is normal." Prior to the sixth series, Lewis said, "...she comes across as being quite independent. I think she's grown up in that sense. And also, she's not a little Mini follower any more. She do ...
