Species: Shadow x Mud Hybrid
Element: Mud
Inherited Abilities: Both abilities are inherited from her Shadow wolf father
Bone Crush - With the mouth/tooth structure of an average male Shadow wolf, Octavia has thicker teeth and also more elemental energy present within her mouth. A bite from her can easily crush bones.
Blood Scent - When Octavia ingests fresh blood, she is capable of tracking down an opponent no matter the distance for several minutes (1-10 minutes). This is ideal for hunting prey that is escaping or wolves she could be after. Not even the "Scent Change" ability of a Forester wolf can mask it. Heavy climate changes like that of the Ice lands or the desert, and rain will render the ability useless.

Personality:
Octavia was once a kind and gentle wolf who was quite friendly among her packmates. Her personality changed quite a bit when she left her birth pack. She is now antisocial, quiet, and stern as well as very hard on herself for many things, remaining rather strict on her rules she has set for herself. Deep down she is a caring and loving wolf who craves acceptance, attention, and love, but her view of herself nowadays does not let her portray that. She struggles with self-worth and views herself as a failure in many aspects.

Info:
Octavia is a Shadow/Mud hybrid born to a Shadow wolf father and Mud wolf mother, the leaders of her birth pack. She was born alongside a pure hybrid Mud brother named Mavon and the two were always quite close. Octavia grew up rather happy and without any known problems; she was accepted into the pack just fine, with no one caring that she was a hybrid, and she even found a mate with ease when she got older. Things didn't stay this way though, as she and her mate at the time, Faust, tried for 3-4 years to have pups together only for it to never work out. She eventually went to someone for help on figuring out why she just couldn't conceive, only to be told the results; she is infertile and therefore cannot have pups at all. The realization of this made her feel great shame towards herself and made her feel like she was a failure. She was ashamed that she could not give her beloved mate a proper family or continue her family line as one might expect of her due to her being a child of the pack leaders. After many weeks of being depressed over the whole thing, Octavia chose to break up with Faust and leave him behind so that perhaps he could find someone else and actually have the family she thought he deserved. She also ultimately chose to leave the pack entirely, leaving behind her parents and brother as well. After some extreme training on her part, she now travels and works as a Mercenary after leaving the pack. These jobs she takes make her feel like she has a purpose now, and it often distracts her from her negative thoughts about herself as she usually has her mind on her job. She is not that talkative anymore compared to when she was in a pack and sticks to herself a lot more than she used to, but the Mud wolf side of her still needs to socialize every now and then as to properly keep her spirits up. She finds that her needs for socialization can be met through her work clients as most of them seem to be decently friendly towards her and often try to make her feel like one of the group or even family if it is one. She has dealt with some less-than-friendly clients for her work, but she has been rather lucky that most seem to be at least somewhat decent wolves and she is more than thankful that they seem to accept her while she is around. Deep down, she hopes to one day find a mate that will accept her despite her "limitations", but at the same time, she hasn't quite moved on from the one she left behind.


Trivia:
- Most of her work clients tend to be decently rich families or merchants who are traveling to various locations, but every now and then she gets clients who require protection due to less-than-acceptable reasons.
- She very much misses her family but feels that she cannot return due to the shame that she feels, unaware that her family misses her just as much and just want her to come back home.
- Most of her coloration and marking shapes come from her mother, but her red limbus, green eye, and silver Shadow wolf-like main marking come from her father.
- Her previous mate, Faust, is a Shadow wolf from her birth pack.
- She is currently unaware that her former mate is trying to track her down and reunite with her as he also has not moved on and still loves her dearly.
- Despite having a Shadow wolf's mouth structure, she has ageusia like all Mud wolves and therefore she cannot taste anything.
- Even though she cannot taste, she still has favorite types of foods such as birds, boars, deer, and reptiles as she enjoys the different textures the meats have; she does have a strong dislike for fish though as she doesn't seem to like the smell or the texture of them.
- She is naturally a bit lanky and skinny looking, but she is healthy and has enough weight on her.
