Olivia DeMarco

Olivia DeMarco is Zoë's best friend. She owns a small electronics and repair shop in Casablanca, and is an expert on the technology of the time period. Like the Castillos, the Abaza, and Casablanca itself, Olivia has a Spanish name, not to mention her frequent use of the greeting "Hola!". This indicates the close ties the North African city has with the Iberian Peninsula. Her facial markings are reminiscent of those favoured by Berber women, and she may have a mixed ancestry. She also displays at least a basic understanding of Amharic, as she greets her Ethiopian contact in his native language. Liv's shop specialises in refurbished bots and Watillas. She also builds customised software such as the cloaking program that hides Zoe's mobile from the EYE and, more importantly, a program to hack electronic equipment. She might also be involved in the black market of disabling objects from the Wire, a process mentioned in the manual for Dreamfall.

Olivia is happy to share her knowhow with Zoe, whether it's how to repair a broken Watilla or disable a security Spider. She is also concerned about Reza Temiz's disappearance, and volunteers her help, taking on the decryption of the high-level security protocols on Reza's notepad. Her discoveries guide Zoe back onto Reza's trail, leading her from Newport to WATI City. She essentially takes the role of Zoe's troubleshooter whenever she needs advice on technology.
