Lawful neutral / Following the rules of society is the most important thing to Olive, and that matters more to her than doing what's right.
Olive is definitely an extrovert. She's very generous and can almost always supply her friends with whatever they need, like a good mom. She's also intensely protective of the rest of the group, like Ben, and repeatedly reminds people not to cross her or any of her friends unless they want to get their ass kicked. She's definitely the mom friend, and is always there for her friends whether it be to listen to their problems or just give them a hug. Most often she fills the "tired parent" trope as she's always making sure that the more chaotic friends don't hurt themselves or get into trouble. She is so focused on the best for them that she has no interest in romance.
When sitting, Olive tends to rest her head on her hand(s). Standing up, she usually has her weight on one foot and one hand on her hip.
When she's nervous, she fiddles with the fabric of her clothes or wrings her hands.

Cold, serious, formal situations and large crowds
She always makes sure she appeals to her friends' needs as best as she can. She seeks a set of strong relationships that can set her for life.
Olive is sensitive to rejection, and tends to stress-eat (because of this she usually carries a pack of gum/mints/candies wherever she goes)
Rejection; she is also claustrophobic and becomes anxious in large crowds or small spaces.
Olive grew up with her parents' resent towards white people. As a result, if she were approached by a POC stranger, she would probably treat them with somewhat more kindness than if they were white. She aims to treat everyone as absolute equals, but she still has some bias from her childhood.
Olive tends to lose things very often, especially small items such as Chapstick, coins, hair ties/clips, pencils/pens, etc.
Perfect pitch, playing the contrabass and harmonica, cooking
Cooking, playing her instruments, watching feel-good TV such as Friends and Gilmore Girls
(mental) A form of synesthesia known as chromesthesia, the association of sounds with colors. For her, musical notes or keys being played can trigger seeing colors. Because of her synesthesia related to music she practically has perfect pitch because her ability to see/hear colors aids her in identifying notes or keys.
Olive's voice is deep and strong in a pleasant way, and very loud and clear. She has a slight, almost imperceptible Southern lilt to her words which comes through clearer when she's angry or ready to fight someone.
