Okay well her first impression of him was that he was a terrible conversationalist. Awful. But in a weird way she found his honesty and lack of sugarcoating things vaguely refreshing?? But he was still terrible to try and hold a conversation with so she tried to ollie out of that one as politely as possible. Like god you could try to work with her a little bit here sir.
Also he disliked sweets, which he is certainly allowed to but really to her that's like. What the hell. How were you raised that even your taste buds are devoid of experiencing joy?? Plus the fact that he wasn't eating period and was covered in bandages gave her the impression that he doesn't do a very good job taking care of himself.... which was pretty concerning-- and she did not appreciate being lumped in with the psycho nation boys at all. So basically their entire conversation was an awkward faux pas as far as she was concerned but at least he wasn't spitting up wine on the table like Wriggle was so he wasn't the WORST behaved person there.
During the first trial she found his technique of PICK THE PERSON YOU LIKE LEAST AND WORK FROM THERE pretty awful?? Especially for a lawyer. A DEFENSE LAWYER-- In the end though she ended up doing just that-- voting for Marlowe because she liked her the least out of the choices. THE IRONY.
Before that she was gunning for Kaoru hardcore she just couldn't find the decisive evidence to nail him to the wall.
Her impression of him pretty much plummeted. But at least Klavier was pretty sexist so she just had a bad impression of all the dude lawyers in general. And then in week two Klavier was a moron and a sexist jerk and accusing her of murder so Apollo ranked just vaguely higher than him.
But she felt pretty rotten at how uncooperative she'd been and detrimental to Ian's survival in general in that trial so when Apollo was like EVERYONE GETS A BABYSITTER she relented out of just feeling really bad. She thought the whole thing was a stupid idea to be perfectly honest-- and she couldn't stand him staring at the balconies.
In week four she felt pretty frustrated that she was having such a hard time getting Apollo to see her point after he accused Spain but she felt pretty burdened by other people wanting to keep their identities in this weird daisy chain she got thrusted into last second a secret and not sharing information so she was trying to bulldoze Spain to safety with her hands tied behind her back when she was the least informed person driving really SO SHE DIDN'T REALLY CARE FOR THE CRITIQUE--
--but more important than that she was insulted that just because she was trying to help Spain that made them INVOLVED AND IN LOVE or something so she flipped out on him about that. Because she felt like Spain was sort of yanking her chain a bit romantically so she was like... god no. Shut up Apollo don't give people that impression how dare you!!
But then she was right in the end and she relished in her victory for like three seconds before Glinda ripped her to shreds internally so any admiration Apollo might have been exhibiting towards her bad ass confession cracking abilities went completely undetected and she completely shut down pretty much.
THEN EVENTUALLY THE BOMB WEEK HAPPENED. And you know if Apollo had an actual firm idea of what he was going to use his bomb for that would have been one thing... but just keeping a bomb around because he was given it was just so utterly ridiculous Austria couldn't help but smack him upside the head for it. So he got a wonderful tirade for his trouble and all he got out of it was BLOW UP THE SMOKING ROOM. Which she was really super cool with as long as it was done safely. She got a little bitter that Apollo got credit for what was her idea but at the same time she was like... well. Blowing up stuff is dangerous... so. He can do it. Her opinion of him went up exponentially for taking her advice!!
But then he totally messed up with Feferi tho there was no redeeming him chasing a thirteen year old out a window.
By then Austria was pretty much on the same page as Sebastian she was just letting her own personal biases dictate who could be the killers/mastermind and purposefully ignoring certain details because then it would be more difficult to hate this certain group if Kazoo and Nanami were involved!! At least Chizuru was a grown adult-- Feferi not retiring though made her think that there was something weird going on though.
She completely lost all the respect she had for him in Rin's trial though with his robot racism. She didn't disagree that Rin killing Chihiro was wrong and that she was going to have to be executed but to her it felt like he was more concerned with punishing people after were driven to murder-- as opposed to stopping the true reason people were killing: the producers and the game. Like what Rin did was clearly WRONG but they did everything in their power to drive someone who would be perfectly happy never killing to murder and to her that was something she felt like he was completely ignoring in favor of nailing her.
Apollo's view of human life compared to other forms got her thinking about what a nation life was worth-- by then she'd started to realize at the very least she wasn't human-- and when she started to think about it she realized... nation lives aren't worth anything at all are they. So she began to resent herself for lasting this long when people who mattered were dying. Even Rin as a robot had more value to her than she herself did so the fact that Rin was going to die and they couldn't save Lin just tore her to pieces-- she'd of scapegoated herself then if she'd of been a suspect.
Then Athena and Klavier started in on suicide not voting and she was like. The game has to end and it has to end now. There has to be something someone can do to break things or else more people who are actually worth something are going to keep killing and getting killed and people like Apollo were just going to perpetuate things in the name of some weird form of warped justice until the game came to it's natural end.
SO SHE WAS NOT SURPRISED WHEN APOLLO ALIGNED HIMSELF WITH SEBASTIAN. She was also not surprised at the idea of a no kill week. She thought it was a complete disconnect from reality outing this group though and then expecting none of them to murder. It was pretty apparent to her that they were being coerced somehow and they didn't have a choice in the matter. And when no one offered any ideas to help them Austria was pretty resigned to the fact that if she wanted them to survive another week-- or at the very least protect Maribelle-- she could kill Spain... it wasn't as if nations had any real value alive.
She thought if she could take Sebastian out with her then that would be good too since he'd lived a billion years and therefore didn't count as a human being anyways-- but either way if she died it wouldn't matter based on Apollo's logic. It'd just be an irrelevant week life wise.
AFTER SHE WAS DEAD and the museum was opened she actually thought that might be something eye opening for Apollo??? Like hey look you're a killer too. We're all killers. Except it's not really anyone's fault if you really look at it. It's the game! IT'S THE GAME. Stop the game!!!
But somehow she was not the slightest bit surprised that somehow went straight over his head and he was threatening the DK's and Nanami. Because when it comes down to it Apollo is and will always be kind of an idiot. /FACE PALMING FOREVER
He did shoot Sebastian in the ass though. And for that she can't ever think poorly of him because it was such a wonderful moment. She didn't even hate Sebastian at that point anymore but it was just so great to watch--THANK YOU SO MUCH.
So. Apollo is probably another person she is avoiding indefinitely...
But her opinion on Apollo can never really stay neutral for long.
