Austria started off liking Glinda just fine except she was just kind of some weirdo who broke out into musical numbers so that was a little off putting. Not unpleasant just a little socially awkward for her. What do you even say to someone singing at dinner-- but Glinda seemed fine. Very beautiful. Well dressed. Pleasant and charming.
And even right up through week four Austria liked Glinda. It was really obvious that Glinda was incredibly hurt by Kougyoku's passing-- regardless of the fact that she was an attempted murderer. But Austria never blamed Kougyoku because it was just really apparent that she tried to kill someone because the game had killed her brother so she was so team Kougyoku. And Austria was actually really sympathetic to her up until... it suddenly became super obvious to her that it couldn't have been the person Glinda was gunning for in the trial; Spain.
Austria wasn't sure what to do initially because she didn't realize the "group" was so "secretive" she was actually the last person in the daisy chain to be filled in on monday night at like 2 in the morning after her date with spain and she was filled in by Spain. But he was a biased source to accept information from so she hadn't decided whether to trust it or not-- she'd wanted to talk to another person in the actual daisy chain first.
So when Bakura reacted in the way she did when she brought it up in trial she became confused. Then further confused when no one in the daisy chain spoke up to confirm what she'd said. It just seemed unfathomable to her that anyone would stay silent about this when it could save someone's life-- the life just happened to be Spain's.
So it was kind of a reality shock to her. Like she could understand everyone not being on the same side because of the incentives and that anyone could kill another person any week-- but it hadn't occurred to her that people not involved in the crime that week wouldn't be doing everything in their power to find the truth and prevent another week two from occurring.
So when Austria eventually got her confession out of Bakura and Glinda was upset she was kind of surprised why Glinda had decided to blame her for the secrets of the "group" not being shared earlier when she was the one who spilled them when she thought it counted most-- saving someone's life. Austria barely even considered herself part of the daisy chain because she hadn't really offered anything towards it Spain just dumped it all on her after her date.
But she couldn't say those things without being like "well it wasn't my fault sebastian and kaoru are the one's who knew more than me since before monday and wouldn't say anything even when I prompted them-- but she couldn't do that without outing them so she just sort of absorbed the blame herself because she could deal with a little resentment. it was fine!!
so she tried to get the point across to glinda that you can't trust people in this house to save you because apparently there are shitheads like sebastian and kaoru who only care about themselves even in trials where the information they have can be used to save the life of someone else AND BOY DID THAT BACK FIRE IN HER FACE SPECTACULARLY. glinda just went straight for her throat and actually totally obliterated austria internally. it was way more resentment than she bargained for and no one stood up for her aside from Maribelle pulling glinda off-- so austria went full ice princess at that point and then totally broke down into tears once she got to her bedroom and was basically at her lowest point of that game thus far.
THEN THEY WERE RIVALS except austria never actually hated glinda it was just glinda really hurt her feelings over something she got tied up in so she was bitter about it. she didn't want anything to happen to glinda but she certainly didn't want to interact with her anymore!!
When glinda listened to her about not not voting though she felt like she'd made some progress with her again. And it wa apparent to her even despite seabastian's report that glinda had caught on to things in the house. if sebastian hadn't made his report austria was going to try talking to her about what she'd found out because glinda seemed to have a similar sympathetic view to herself about what was happening-- but then everything went to hell in a hand basket really quickly after that report.
AND AUSTRIA MURDERED SPAIN-- and basically forfeit all her positive relationships at that point. Because everyone loved Spain and she knew she'd never be forgiven for this really. And to be honest she didn't want to be forgiven for it it was just something she felt she had to do to spare Maribelle and get the museum open.
She already knew that Glinda was the kind of person who would never react well to something like this, but during the trial she just so badly wanted to tell Glinda this isn't love. What Spain did to me isn't love. This isn't something you should idolize or want. You can have so much better than this. But she couldn't without revealing what Spain did to her so she just kind of watched this train wreck of Glinda crying over the loss of their relationship in her trial and waited for her ultimate villianess reveal. She just wanted Glinda to live and get home so it would be okay if Glinda didn't understand or hated her again.
NOW THAT SHE IS ALIVE Austria doesn't really know how to talk to a lot of people and Glinda is one of those people. She doesn't feel like she can approach her and Glinda doesn't have any reason to approach herself so. She's just sort of accepted things as they are and doesn't want to do anything to upset the boat. She'll clap for her song still though...
