Olivia "Liv" Malone is a fictional character from the third generation of the British teen drama ''Skins'', portrayed by Laya Lewis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skins series 5: the new cast revealed )〕 According to Lewis, "On first impressions she is the cool one of the group, she is very much laid back. Liv doesn't really care about anything, she just wants to have fun. 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 face. 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."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skins )〕 ==Characterisation== Liv starts out the fifth series as a member of Mini McGuinness' original trio, and Mini's closest personal friend. Unlike Grace Blood, Liv has known Mini for a lot longer, and serves as a sidekick for most of the series. She is the most party-obsessed, sexually voracious and impulsive of the group, at one point twice drinking an entire bottle of vodka as a means of apology. Because of this, her single mother Agnes, a plain-speaking woman with bizarre hobbies, is concerned that she will end up like her tearaway older sister, Bella, who has been imprisoned and whom Liv regularly visits. Because of her mother's more bizarre hobbies, Liv finds herself acting as carer to her science fiction-obsessed and eccentric younger sister, Maude (Lola Mae Loughran). Liv's impulsive behaviour often gets her into trouble, usually with her friends, and with her mother. However, she occasionally finds herself taking on the role of carer for her entire circle of friends, most often Mini, who often leaves her to pick up the pieces after particularly bad events. Her frustration with Mini begins to take its toll later in the series, and leads to her having an affair with Mini's boyfriend, Nick, who is equally frustrated with her. She and Mini both dump Nick later on, after his violent behaviour offends them both. However, her first love triangle leads directly into a second one, when she forms a relationship with Nick's brother, Matty, only for Franky to develop feelings for him herself. Liv has a difficult relationship with Franky over the course of the series – she partly resents her for having taken Matty from her, and holds her partly to blame for her role in Grace's death, but is one of the only members of the group who directly expresses concern for Franky's mental state, and does not hesitate to berate her when she endangers herself with her behaviour. Prior to the sixth series, Lewis said of Liv, "She's literally just being herself. I think after all the stuff last year, all the drama and stuff, she's completely forgotten about it, and I think she's grown up. They've all grown up, and they're just having fun. I think it's not really a complicated episode – not the beginning of it, anyway. They're literally just a group of friends finally just having fun without the drama, really. "I think last series she was all about chasing Matty and stuff, and for me, I thought that was such a shame because that shouldn't be the kind of girl she is – 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 doesn't do that this series, which is nice.〔"http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s89/skins/tubetalk/a361264/skins-laya-lewis-previews-the-premiere.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liv Malone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
