Olivia is in great sadness because of her brothers death, and she refuses Orsino's love. Later, though, she falls in love with Cesario and although Cesario (who is actually Viola) refuses her love, she keeps begging and this shows that she is kind of stubborn.
Malvolio
Malvolio is a Puritan. He is humourless and disapproving. He is also extremely vain.
Twelfth Night
The main character in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night is Viola. It is not uncommon for the female lead to be the main character of Shakespeare's comedies. It happens in As You LIke It, All's Well that Ends Well, and Cymbeline as well.
Twelfth Night and indeed most of the comedies do not fit well into the protagonist/antagonist mode of analysis. Viola is the main character in the play, but there is no other character who particularly stands in her way.

The character of Malvolio is intended to satirize Puritans.
Because of a duel he fought with another character.
She is somewhat impetuous, as her gift of a ring to Cesario shows. She is compassionate and forgiving toward Feste and Malvolio ("Poor fool, how they have baffled thee."), but quite firm in her decision about Orsino's suit.
