Olive Buckle

**Olive** is nice and kind.

## Appearance & Personality

### Appearance

Olive is very pretty. She's tall and thin, standing at 5'11. She has darker skin with freckles paired with long, brown hair. Her hair is very thick but pin-straight, though she attempts to style it with rollers or in braids while she sleeps. This usually only kind of works, but it gives her a loose curl pattern that she really likes. She usually wears her hair in said braids or half up half down.
Olive's wardrobe consists of various styles, ranging from traditional comfortable clothes to retro, 70's inspired outfits. She's seen in oversized sweaters and flared leggings quite often, pairing them with a plain pair of sneakers or chunky boots. When she's feeling fun, she tends to sport bell bottoms, tie-dye shirts, and colorful patterned shirts. Olive is the first person since the 20s to wear cloche hats and scarves, pairing them with her outfits when it doesn't look weird. She usually opts for darker colors like forest green, shades of burgundy, and deep maroon.

## Relations

* Family
* Other

* Olive loves her dad! But he does pretty much control her life. He's always insisting she attends every workshop any prestigious college offers her- so, for the past 3 summers, she's spent her time cooped up at NYU's Computer Science Program or Vanderbilt's Interest In Global Politics Summit. She loves him for giving her so many opportunities and overall Being A Good Father, but wishes he was more emotionally present so it didn't just feel like he was trying to control her.

* Her mother is also incredibly intelligent! This makes no sense given that named all her kids after different shades of green- but I guess that's just the exception. anyways. Olive also loves her mom and idolizes her because she's so ambitious, driven, and has made such a life for herself judging the circumstances she came from. Her mom has some I Was Raised In Poverty With Horrible Parents Trauma floating around in her brain, but Olive is able to turn the other cheek when it Comes Out because she knows her mom needs years of therapy that she has not received! Regardless, she loves her mom and also wishes every day she'd gotten her hair because it's curly and gorgeous. her mom is so hot.

* Fern is like 8 years older than Olive, so naturally they aren't very close. By the time Olive entered high school, her sister was already graduating high school and headed off to med school. She's likely the reason their father set the expectations so high and Olive simultaneously resents and is jealous of her for it. She knows it's not fair and shouldn't blame her sister for the way their parents responded, but having a smart soon-to-be doctor sister has not been easy on her psyche.

* Emerald is like Fern but more normal. She's a senior which allowed Olive and her to become much closer, yippee! Unfortunately Emerald got middle-child-disappointment-pilled, so things tend to be tense around her and Olive when they're around their parents. Otherwise, they're pretty close and have a good sister relationship. Her sister is also an incredibly talented singer and Olive urges her to do something with it.

* Her best friend since 8th grade! Olive is absolutely enamored by Kyra and thinks she's so interesting, intelligent, and all of the things. She forces her to express emotion and is the only reason she's had a somewhat-normal high school experience because Olive knows Kyra *never* would've come out of her room if she had the choice. Olive's also a teeny tiny bit in love with her because she's the first gay friend she ever had and naturally had to go and fall in love with her. Kyra is one of the only people she's out to.

* idk if theyre friends but kyra connection so i am putting her on here for later thoughts
