"For the record, the water is symbolism (I use that word a lot in these descriptions). Or a metaphor. Or something like that, I'm not the best at identifying elements. But anyway, she is not actually underwater, nor is the bench, it's mainly the rule of drama combined with intent to relate to her sad, sad life.
Anyway, Ollie isn't very happy. She came from the desert and was taken in by a young couple with many desert-born children, though the couple fell on hard times and were forced to give up their children. Female desert-born have a very hard time finding work, because they're seen as "too weak to mine", and so she was left singing on the streets for change. She was pushed around by everyone, even complete strangers. Currently, she's a member of a band. She sings to soothe the nerves of those she used to be like. She's married to a rich odder. And yet she still isn't happy, as she's forced herself into the mold of what she's perceived to be, not what she is.
On the bright side, she's very good at singing the blues."

At least now she's not unhappy. Because her character no longer exists.
Brutal, but effective.
