What kind of queen would Olivia be? Like, I can imagine the court forcing her to be elegant and wear those huge, ridiculous dresses she could hardly walk in. Of course, she learns the etiquette and all the things she needs, but refuses the whole dress concept and prefers simple clothing instead. She rides a horse normally, unlilke the other noble ladies, wears a sword on her belt and practices duelling (with her King). I can even imagine her visiting the town in disguise, just out of curiosity.

She’s very against what is considered normal of a queen in appearance and behavior wise. She prefers to wear riding dresses and not have her hair touched by anyone. When anyone mentioned the sword dueling with the king, Olivia just told them she’s the queen and she’s going to practice fighting with her husband if she so pleases. She also doesn’t like too many servants assistant her, as she prefers to do things on her own. All of this bothers the court to no end. 

She and McCree do go down to the kingdom to see how their people are doing. After the first time with all the guards and royal horses and whatnot, she told McCree she wants to visit but by herself. She made him worry of course, but he trusts her to come back in one piece, which she always does. But somehow, after she returns some member of the court finds in her a dark shawl and hiding her face before going off on how a queen shouldn’t do that. Olivia just brushes it aside before finding McCree.
