Past Scars

At the age of three, after her parent's death in a car crash, Liv was sent to live in an orphanage until she got a foster family.
Two years pass and she finally got adopted by a husband and wife with four other foster kids. But, once she was brought home, the couple turned out to be extremely abusive, mentally, and physically, not only to each other but to all the children as well which left a bad effect on Liv's self-esteem and feeling of safety at the house. It was when she would try to go outside by herself to have fun did Liv find out how cruel the town truly was, specifically with the people she encountered. That ended up changing her entire view on the world. It also degraded her amount trust.
After the abuse was exposed, Liv, and all the other previously adopted children, were sent back to the orphanage. She lived there until she was eighteen once she got the money to rent an apartment to live on her own.
All is normal now with Liv continuing her studies in high school, being apart of a poetry club within school, working as a waitress in a popular restaurant, and being apart of a mixed martial arts program (MMA). Everything seems okay. However, one thing still lingers in her mind: her trust issues.
Liv's lack of trust in people and her big reactions to their antics is what she is most known for. It is bothersome to her, constantly being paranoid of being attacked by someone when she least expects it. Liv is aware of this, however, and knows this is the right way to think and she must continue this train of thought.
But what happens when something between both her poetry club and her MMA club arises? With Liv and the other rest of the gang in the MMA program needing to come together and win the competition, will she be able to find trust in those she must work with or will this journey require her to keep her guard up much higher while also trying to win?
