In the Alternate Universe, there's also a similar version of Olivia Dunham who are referred to as "Bolivia" (for Olivia B or Bad Olivia) by the production crew and by "Fauxlivia" by fans and recently Walter Bishop,[1] but both of the term are also used by the characters, Newton and Walter. Other nicknames include Olivialternate, Olivialt, Altlivia, Alt-Olivia and Molivia (for Mole Olivia).
The Alternate's Fringe Team
She is a part of the more aggressive and ubiquitous version of Fringe Division along with Colonel Phillip Broyles, Charlie Francis, Lincoln Lee and Astrid Farnsworth. Fringe Division in the alternate universe are part of the Department of Defense. She was with the Fringe team in less than 2 years.
She had an easy smile and more often than enough making jokes around her colleagues. She's much more playful than Olivia. She's often fidgeting while talking and her posture is less stiff and more relaxed.
Olivia breaking in Fauxlivia's apartment
Although similar to her alternate counterpart, she doesn't have the eidetic memory. Oftenly, her shapeshifters weren't quite careful with their missions which made her even more ruthless by killing these shapeshifters to help save her cover. She often communicates with the alternate characters by observing and deflecting questions away from her and making herself silent and often didn't give off opinion as she sometimes giving response that are not quite like Olivia.
She had won an Olympic medal for marksmanship in which she rarely demonstrates.
Family and Relationship
Unlike Olivia Dunham, her mother is still living in Tarrytown, 45 minutes out of New York City but her sister, Rachel, died of childbirth. There is no mention of an abusive stepfather
Her teammates, Charlie Francis and Lincoln Lee are close friends and they are more often playfully bantering with one another for amusement. They were also willing to sacrifice for (alternate) Olivia as seen in Amber 31422 and willing to kill to save Olivia's life in Immortality. She had once shared a kiss with Lincoln Lee.
She had a live-in boyfriend who is a virologist for CDC named Frank Stanton with whom she had met during a cholera outbreak in Hoboken. They had the same tattoo with one on her nape and another on his back. They were briefly engaged until he left her when her infidelity was known.
Fauxlivia's happy moments with Frank
In the primary universe, she had played along as a girlfriend to Peter Bishop' later on, it eventually fell into a sexual relationship when she had to distract him from seeing blood pooling near a door in The Box. Although, she had slipped several times but she had managed to deflected any awkwardness around Peter with playful teasing. This makes Peter ignored most of the signs that she's not his Olivia. In Entrada, she seems to be genuine about her feelings toward Peter before she returned to her universe and she's still confused about her feelings in Immortality and eventually being left by him as she's unable to deny that she's in love with Peter. She is currently pregnant with Peter's child. '
