Olivia kinda looks like a gyaru sometimes, but that could just be the way that she is drawn. What ends up happening one time is that she TRIES to do makeup for one of the girls and let’s just say that she painted poor Hanako like she was a clown. Then in another segment, Olivia tries to cut her bangs. It’s not that difficult to understand–primarily that you should leave that bit to a professional–but for some reason she charges on. Olivia ends up looking worse than Cynthia from the Rugrats.

For all of the odd things that she does, Olivia is actually a very sweet girl. She may not study, but the moment where Maeda brings in a fake Olivia to help her get out of the English speech contest is priceless when the fake AI Olivia revolts. She has her tender moments too where she is actually quite shy and ignorant of the world leaning on Kasumi and even sometimes Hanako–yes, sometimes–to help her understand better. Her smiles are pure gold as well. Even if they are fake sometimes.

Olivia is a VERY good friend to Hanako. She tries her best to encourage Kasumi, but she spares Hanako from the rod often only to let Hanako herself walk right into traps. She doesn’t intend to, but she just doesn’t realize that Hanako is so stupid, she is about to set herself up. Still though, while she may be good socially, she is terrible with her studies. Hanako may be as socially developed as a banana, but at least she has her smarts going for her. Olivia doesn’t study at all and always is pulling all-nighters to barely scrape by or bomb a test. If only she could get it together!

A role that Olivia fills well is that she is the binding glue for the friendship of Kasumi, Hanako, and herself. In fact, she was “friends” with Hanako when they met Kasumi, and while both sides had ulterior motives, they win over each other. Olivia is also frequently the mediator for their group. She helps assure Kasumi while trying to talk down Hanako from whatever cliff she has climbed up.

Olivia wins a spot in our hearts for her love of games. At first, the bacteria version of Pokemon GO was hilarious. Especially when it backfired on her and the app found deadly bacteria in her armpit. She then brought us that adorable FPS game that she ends up playing against the Shogi club unknowingly. Needless to say, it does not go well for Hanako and Kasumi who, while still cute characters, are killed rapidly and mercilessly by the other team. Meanwhile she gets upset when the two girls don’t want to keep playing with Olivia.
