Strong Female character types are usually rather feminine, imo - not that there's anything wrong with being either masculine or feminine. They're tough, true, but more like unrealistically unflappable, cool, calm and collected, witty, attractive, sexy. Olivia is actually not very feminine - she ties her hair back and wears suits all the time, doesn't paint her nails or wear makeup, isn't especially nurturing, doesn't cook or have other conventionally feminine interests. She's not "one of the guys" either. She's also not particularly witty, charming or cool. She's socially awkward and emotionally stunted, warm-hearted yet a bit cold and unapproachable (defensive), vulnerable yet hides it well. She's a badass for sure, but not the usually kind. I think she's relatable and flawed.
