Tell me a character, I'll tell you three things from my personal canon about them.

For

livii: Mickey Smith

1. His gran would have rather he finish his education, maybe go to uni, but he started work as soon as he was legally allowed. School had never made Mickey feel useful or competent; work did, and he badly needs to feel useful.

Besides, he couldn't mooch off Gran forever. Wouldn't be right.

2. He'd known Rose had fallen out of love with him ever since she came back for the first time, breathless and a year late. He didn't realize he'd fallen out of love with her till he was telling her he wanted to stay in the alternate universe. Somehow, he'd thought it would hurt more. Instead, all he felt was relief, like a great burden being lifted off his shoulders. Ricky had never been the tin dog, redundant and taken for granted, and while he wasn't Ricky, there were certain aspects and personality traits he was more than comfortable adopting.

3. He wound up the one to tell Angela Price's husband that she was dead. Funny choice, as he was the one who knew her least. Maybe that made it easier, maybe not - all he knew in the end is that he felt like shit every time he accidentally referred to her as 'Mrs. Moore.' Jake took him out afterward and they got blindingly drunk - that would be the semi-decent part of the day.
