She is representative of the game of huntsman John Peel, subject of folklore in Cumbria. Olga is symbolised both as a mounted dead fox which is carried onto the pitch before Carlisle United matches and as a costumed mascot. The mascot was formerly a blue and white coloured creature who locals named 'Twinkletoes.'
