"I’ve been playing fun upbeat songs such as YMCA and reach for the stars."

Olivia, who attends Penmaenrhos Education Centre, started going out as Steven the Shark about a week ago.

Olivia and her friend decided on the name as it was 'catchy and easy to remember.'

"I now go as far as Pentrefelin, Glan Conwy, and Bryn Rhys," the teenager added.

Spreading cheer and laughter!

"I chose a shark because I have worn a shark to my school a few times before and it really seemed to make people laugh, so I decided that I’d go around Glan Conwy and see if the shark would cheer people up and it really did."

Steven the shark now has her own Facebook page.

"I am taking appropriate measures to make sure social distancing is applied," Olivia stressed.
