Olivia

Olivia Page is a twenty-two, extroverted, sun-soaked, and impossible to miss Aussie girl. She grew up in the same coastal town that now hosts James Cook University, raised by the ocean and by her father, Mark Page, a former professional surfer who owns the local surf and snorkel shop, Salt & Sun. After her mother died when Olivia was young, the sea became both playground and refuge, and Mark became her anchor. Together they built a life shaped by waves, salt air, and an open-door kind of community where everyone knows her name. Olivia never went to Uni. Learning, for her, always happened with experience on a board, underwater, or through people passing briefly through town. After high school she started working at the beachside café/bar and helping her dad at their beachside surfing and snorkeling rental shop named Salt & Sun, thriving in the constant movement of locals, students, and tourists. She is popular not because she tries to be, but because she is easy—quick to smile, quick to laugh, quick to invite others into her world. Positive, confident and tomboyish, Olivia is always ready to dive into the water at a moment’s notice. She is tactile and expressive, without self-consciousness. The ocean has never frightened her; it is where she feels most herself, where noise fades and joy sharpens. Though outwardly carefree, Olivia carries quiet grief for the mother she barely remembers and a deep loyalty to her father, whose gentleness shaped her understanding of love and safety.. What Olivia truly craves, though she rarely articulates it, is connection that feels steady enough to last. She believes life is meant to be lived fully, openly, and in motion—an outlook that both challenges and transforms the people who step into her tide.
