Olive is a megalomaniac who believes she will one day become the “Right Hand of Yaz”. The fact that Yaz is the military governor who has been conducting a “scorched earth” policy in this territory makes this a very unpopular “destiny”, so even though she is not actively recruiting followers, the GM assesses an additional +2/-2 (depending on who she is meeting) to all Reaction rolls while she is in this area of the world.
