the personality

likes • milk shakes, skinny dipping, country music, horse riding, horror movies, opera , cooking, roller skating
dislikes • alcohol, hard front wigs, dry skin, people who point out her lack of hair
strengths • wig making, SFX for theatre and film, remaining calm in stressful situations, sculpture
Weaknesses • hair and makeup supplies, wired-haired dogs (loves the scruffy look), people with tattoos, her family
dreams • to finally feel settled
fears • pregnancy (is a bit selfish, as she thinks pregnancy would ruin her career). She is not against motherhood, though.
overall personality • Scout is someone that looks at the glass half full. She often finds the best in people but isn’t naïve. She knows there are bad people out there, but she does her best to not judge – especially if someone is trying to turn their life around. It doesn’t take long for people to trust her, as she is quite warm and welcoming. Scout can have a nasty streak though. She can have a thorny mouth, especially when her patience wears thin. It takes a bit to get there, but if you’ve done her wrong – Scout won’t hide it. She wears her heart on her sleeve, bad or good.

Despite her current confidence, Scout does still feel a bit self-conscious about her Alopecia. While she is comfortable with being bald, she still feels weird without having her eyelashes or brows. It is rare for anyone to see her without them that aren’t her family members.

overall history • Scout is one of the many Oliver children that was born to Cassandra and Daniel. She grew up comfortably with her various siblings. There were the occasional spats of who stole whose makeup or items – but nothing that caused a rift.

Growing up, Scout found herself looking more at the magazines and at the theatre than at the mall. She became fascinated with SFX when she started watching Star trek. The makeup and hair intrigued her to the point she started cutting up her dolls. Looking back, it looked macabre – especially to family and friends. It wasn’t normal for a young girl to be carrying around a doll with glued-on legs and arms to make a creature.

Her older siblings began moving around when they began school. When it was her turn, Scout decided to move super far for her schooling. She was dead set on getting a degree to help make monsters. A varied portfolio landed Scout a generous scholarship at USC to get her BA in Film and Tv production. She moved quickly to attend Vancouver Film School for Makeup Design.

During her time in California, Scout began noticing some hair loss. Not the typical hair loss, but everything was falling out in clumps. It was a traumatizing experience, riddling Scout with anxiety and fear. Scout didn’t know what was happening until a lengthy chat with classmate Tiana, whose mom had the same condition.

Alopecia wasn’t something Scout was prepared for. After many teary phone calls to family and friends – Scout knew she just had to suck it up. Alopecia Universalis wasn’t reversible. The only thing that made it look a bit better, is she had a better personal canvas to practice on. Being bald already was easier than doing a bald cap for makeup.

After schooling, Scout returned home. Bakewell didn’t offer too much for her, prompting Scout to follow her brother Adam, and her sister, Skye to this place called Hickstead. The film industry was a bit more promising, but Scout would still have to travel for work when needed. To her surprise, Tiana from USC was also in the area. The two met up and began living together.

Scout works out of the shared studio space with Tiana in their flat. There are times she’s gone for a bit of time for work but thankfully can do quite a bit at home. In her free time, she’s picked up horse riding. The activity was something Scout explored when she was younger but just got back into it. She doesn’t own a horse, as her job doesn’t allow that kind of commitment. But she’ll ride when she can.
