Olive Higgins

<tabber>Main=
 is one of the seven main characters of the series, the main protagonist of Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite and Purrfect Apawcalypse: Purrgatory Furever, and a secondary character in Purrfect Apawcalypse: Patches' Infurno. They're introduced as a socially anxious mutt attending Hachiko High School when an apocalypse occurs.
==Appearance==
Olive appears as a light red dog, with lighter toned paws, perpetually red cheeks and short peach colored hair that's soft and poofy in texture. Their ears are short and floppy and their tail is short. Their brows are perpetually furrowed, they have dark shadows under their black eyes as well as prominent eyelashes. In PA1 they wear a blue sweater vest over a white button up, a pink tie with a yellow star and purple shorts. In PA2 they wear short blue overalls over a yellow long-sleeved sweater. In PA3 they wear their PA2 outfit when at Coco's house, and their PA1 outfit when at school. As a result of being cut in PA2, they now wear a band-aid on one cheek.
==Personality==
Olive starts the series as a socially awkward, easily flustered, obliviously innocent dog. In spite of their social anxiety, they yearn companionship and use their fear of dying alone to fuel their pursuit of furiendship. They often try to lighten the mood with harmless jokes and puns, but constantly second guess their own actions and are very much a puppy-pleaser. Once they've escaped the first apawcalypse and are surrounded by friends, they relax and are far more outgoing and open about their affections. By the third game Olive is more of a caretaker than the one being cared for. They truly love and care about everyone and when they are wronged they're more disappointed than angry. That being said, they aren't afraid to throw a punch if it means showing a big meanie who's boss. Though their punches are as soft as pillows, the fact that a pure puppy like Olive even attempted physical violence speaks volumes about the perpetrator. Throughout all the games they speak with a stutter that is exacerbated by their emotional state.
==Relationships==
*Patches Ito: Olive is Patches' foil, and later on becomes Patches' best friend (a low bar, given he had no friends and literally everyone is Olive's best friend). They are the one character who constantly gives him the benefit of the doubt, and as a result, is the character with the most amount of deaths caused by Patches in any given run. Patches finds their need to love everyone to be disgusting, whilst Olive finds Patches sad and lonely at times.
*Brownie Pembroke: Olive is one of Brownie's close friends. The two meet in the bathroom during the first apocalypse and make fast friends. Brownie is happy to lead the charge in any of their endeavors but dislikes when Olive's cowardice gets in the way of that. She thinks Olive is silly and Olive thinks she's fun. The two share a love of good snacks.
*Sparky Fritz: Olive is one of Sparky's close friends. The two meet in the gym during the first apocalypse. Sparky takes on a caretaker role for Olive most of the time, making sure they stay safe while also encouraging them to be brave and do what's right. Olive thinks Sparky is tall and handsome.
*Angel Grimalkin: Olive is one of Angel's close friends. Before getting to know them Angel is quick to kill them, but will hesitate sometimes because of how cute and nice Olive is. Olive eventually agrees to help find Angel's killer. The two search Hachiko High together and bond over common interests like reading and friendship, which is reflected in the later games.
*Coco Grimalkin: Olive is one of Coco's close friends. Olive overhears Coco's plans in the basement during the first apocalypse and later on agrees to help her find her brother's killer. This endears Coco to them. She hosts their birthday party at her house and as a gift, tries to resurrect the dogs to make up for having killed them.
==In-Game Appearances==
===Purrfect Apawcalypse/Purrfect Apawcalypse: Love at Furst Bite===
Olive is a scared mutt hiding in the closet at the back of their classroom. They exit to find their classmates have been brutally murdered by demon cats. They decide that if they're going to die, they'd like the company of a "special someone". They latch on to anyone they see, including Brownie, Sparky and Patches, and are easily swayed by whatever plans they have, including death by chocolate, saving the school from the cat demons and entering the basement only to be murdered. In the canon ending, Olive is convinced to survive.
They tag along as Brownie and Sparky break the water pipes to flood the school with demon-killing water, and eavesdrop on the cats in the basement. They follow the cats back to the classroom and avoid a suspicious Patches whilst doing so. There, Olive agrees to help Coco and Angel find his killer, who is none other than Patches. They find him in the basement and refuse to side with him, after which Angel possesses his body. Throughout the game Olive was intent on finding someone who could make them happy in their last moments, but they learn that making others happy is what makes everything worthwhile. 
===Purrfect Apawcalypse: Purrgatory Furever===
Olive runs from a horde of zombies towards the The Grimalkin Estate where Coco is hosting their 15th birthday! They help unravel the mystery behind the spooky events occurring at the house and using their pure intention to make everyone (including the zombies, Ginger and Patches) happy, they manage to save the day! Unfortunately, their kindness can't heal zombification.
===Purrfect Apawcalypse: Patches' Infurno===
A few days after the events of the last game Olive is now in charge of Patches, but considers him more of a friend with violent tendencies, rather than a bloodthirsty serial killer. They convince everyone to let him participate at the school events. Olive also tries their best throughout the day to make everyone as comfortable as possible. They cannot be killed in any route, except for the Impurrfect Ending, of course (where everybody except Patches gets killed), and are the main reason that Patches doesn't leave school grounds.
Olive can be found in the literature room and the cafeteria until the day ends.
==Trivia==
*Likes: Hugs, holding paws, physical affection in general, chatting, hanging out, reading, bacon treats (the kind that look like plastic), milkshakes, raw meat, cute and comfy clothing, cute things (Very low standard for what is cute).
*Dislikes: Hurting others, getting hurt, loud toilets.
*Olive's non-binary gender fluidity is based off the creator Denny's own status as a non-binary genderfluid person in real life, although only using they/them pronouns as opposed to Denny using she/they.
*Olive is implied to be on the autism spectrum. They have trouble identifying tone such as sarcasm, they have a speech impediment/stutter, and in some sprites of the character one could argue that Olive is stimming (Repetitive movements of mostly the paws and tail).
*Olive comes from an average middle class household.
