Octavia has the base traits of an easygoing teenage girl who loves social interaction and gossiping about her interests. Except her interests include experimenting on her newly acquired wraith body for the sake of science. The teen has started to show interest in the bodies of others, often lacking personal space as she gropes her fellow survivors; disguising sentences about her urge to experiment in compliments and other 'girl talk'. Octavia is very picky in her subjects if a student has a trait she considers too common or just simply boring, she will not have any urge to examine them. The problem is, those who do catch her interest are targets to her obsessive and possessive tendencies. Despite Octavia's 'issues' she is still a valuable member of the cause, being an inventor/ engineer is what she takes pride in, her role for the school takes up so much of her time and thought process that she lacks the chance to act upon her urges. Engineering is the teen's talent, her resourceful nature helps make tools for scavengers out of the limited supplies in the storage. Octavia's obsessive nature can often be used to benefit the cause; once she has set her mind on inventing new equipment or dealing with technical issues, this trait stops her from being distracted as her mind fixates on the problem in front of her.

Biography:

Octavia was born in Japan to a Japanese mother and a German father, together with her sister they lived in a section of the family estate owned by her mother's side. The rules of a traditional Japanese household were too 'dull' for Octavia, resulting in her developing a disobedient trait rather young. Whenever the girl could, she would leave the estate and join her father in his workshop. Of course, workshops are no place for a child and young Octavia was sent home. After multiple failed attempts to keep the child from returning, her father eventually gave up and began to teach her how to use equipment correctly and safely; if the girl was going to be stubborn, might as well teach her how to be safe.

As Octavia progressed along the school system, it was clear that she was not going to be able to further her education in the engineering department during class time. Instead, science, more specifically biology caught her interest. The subject was all about learning how the body worked which shared many similarities to machinery so her studies focused more on the sciences. Due to Octavia's focused area of study, her other grades were mediocre at best especially her physical education. Her lack of athletic skills was her downfall after the outbreak, her brains could only keep her alive for so long until the situation required fitness.

Finding out she was neither human nor zombie was a scenario Octavia never knew she craved until she got it. There was so to learn about her new body and the capabilities of a wraith. One of the very first experiments the teen conducted on herself was related to her lack of pain, Octavia wanted to see how far she could test this threshold by harming herself in various ways including tearing out her own eyeball.

Extra:

• Since she is a relatively new wraith she still strongly represents a regular human especially if wearing her goggles
