[Feelings about Previous Boss]
Olive hasn't had much of an opportunity yet to get to know Katherine more than the Headmistress of the school, however what she has seen of her she finds inspiring. Olive thinks that she is very confident both around children and adults, and can remain calm under pressure.
Olive struggles with making friends, as she often doesn't trust their true motives. She's had a number throughout her life but none have stuck around longer than a few years. She isn't in contact with those she went to school with, and considers her current colleagues to be her friends.
[Relationship with friends]
As a young teenager, Olive was the daughter of wealthy parents and often spoilt. As a result her friend groups comprised of similar children, and maybe believed that money was the answer to popularity. Once Olive's parents lost their business, Olive lost her financial security and also her friends that no longer considered her to be a benefit to the group. In her later teen years, she often kept herself closed off due to a breakdown of failed friendships and relationships. It wasn't until Olive was twenty one that she began to start meeting new people, and while she doesn't consider anyone outside of Hogwarts a true friend, she's grateful that she was able to meet them.
Olive's current best friends include Professor Jonathan Phillips and Professor Monty Pendleton.
[Sex & Intimacy]
Olive would consider herself to be heterosexual.
Olive's first kiss was with her first boyfriend when she was twelve years old. The pair had been together a couple of weeks, and the relationship quickly broke down around the same time as the family business dissolved.
Olive believes the first time she was in love has been with her current fiance, West.
Olive's first time was with a long term boyfriend when she was seventeen, although looking back she realises that this was a bad relationship for her and despite the pair being together for almost a year, Olive wishes she had waited until she was older and in a better place emotionally.
[Opinion on romantic relationships]
Her opinion on romantic relationships is that if it has to be forced then it's quite clearly not right. She has had two long term relationships and a brief encounter at a party, and believes that if something is going to happen in the future it will occur naturally. She would like to one day get married, although she is currently unsure as to whether she would ever want to take her future husbands name.
[Further Information]
Taurus is an Earth sign, just like Virgo and Capricorn, and has the ability to see things from a grounded, practical and realistic perspective. They find it easy to make money and stay on same projects for years, or until they are completed. What we often see as stubbornness can be interpreted as commitment, and their ability to complete tasks whatever it takes is uncanny. This makes them excellent employees, great long-term friends and partners, always being there for people they love. Earthly note makes them overprotective, conservative, or materialistic at times, with views of the world founded on their love of money and wealth
