Very interesting set of characters in this fic. Except for Olivia, they don't get much attention from fanfic writers. That's what you get when you mess with Olivia! She's going to win.
Yeah, Olivia strikes me as very much a 'my way or the highway' type of person. Especially if she thinks she's right about something important. Though I think she can compromise if/when needed to, or when it's pragmatic to do so without putting her at a major disadvantage.
I totally agree that Olivia is pragmatic and can compromise if she is not disadvantaged. She goes along with Mustang on the coup and must have thought that his idea of using the mansion was a good one. Grumman turns out to be the real wild card of the coup alliance, what with trying to delay/assassinate Bradley and beating the other two to be Fuhrer. But Olivia also draws pleasure from sending Scar off to Ishval with Miles, because she thinks it will annoy Mustang. (I don't think it would bother him much.) I like Olivia a lot, but she is a bit mean-spirited, maybe because she views everything as a competition.
Well, outside of the Armstrongs, who else has been shown to 'sparkle' besides Roy? Unless I've misremembered and someone else besides them has done it, too. (Always possible, with me. :) ) And besides, the Armstrongs would hardly be the first rich/powerful family to produce kids 'off the record', over a period of several years, so to speak.
One of these days I'll have to sit down and work out exactly who and how that old scandal worked, and how it will impact folks in the current day, not to mention who knows what, and how long they've known about it......

Olivia will always make sure she comes out on top, one way or another.
