Octavia

Octavia was Claymore No. 2 of her generation and eventually became an awakened being. During her lifetime, she was known as "Wild Horse Octavia" (沛艾のオクタビア, Haigai no Okutabia). She was among the group of awakened former single-digit warriors who gathered outside Rabona to witness the being whose power surpasses the Abyssal Ones.

Etymology
"Octavia" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Okutabia" (オクタビア).

"Octavia" is a feminine proper name of Latin origin, feminine of Octavius, meaning "the eighth."

Appearance
In her human form, Octavia appears to be a young woman with long, fair hair worn loose and short bangs swept to the left. She has a single braid that arises from just above one ear, looping around the back before disappearing above the other ear.

Octavia's awakened form consists of an gigantic equine body, similar to Isley's centaurine form, upon which her human torso is attached. Her hair becomes wavy and darker in color in this form and is overall like a demonic version of the legends' Lady Godiva.

Personality
Based on her demeanor while talking with the Ghosts, Octavia seems to be quite light-hearted and somewhat cheerful. However, when in battle, she exhibits some degree of recklessness, unmindful of those she may hurt while attacking. This may be an allusion as to why her nickname is as such, although her awakened form may lend this distinction. Although she initially labels the Ghosts "pathetic", she apologizes after witnessing Awakened Cassandra's power first-hand and commends them on being able to put up with such a heavyweight.

Abilities and Powers
Octavia has shown the ability to "unravel" parts of her body into ribbon-like strips, not unlike that of Riful. She has been shown to use the strips defensively, such as unraveling her head to avoid being absorbed by the Destroyer, and offensively, unraveling her arm into several whips to attack Cassandra.

Biography
Nothing much is known about Octavia except that she rose to the rank of No. 2, awakened sometime in the past, and has survived up to the present time. She journeyed from the west to witness the being whose power surpasses the Abyssal Ones. She greets Raki and company upon their arrival at Rabona. She reveals to them that the citizens of Rabona have evacuated a few days ago and that only a small number of troops and their comrades have remained.

She is one of the nine Awakened Beings who survive the assault of the Destroyer in Priscilla's body, avoiding a tentacle attack in her head by cleaving it to let the tentacles pass through.

She, along with the other female Awakened, later appear to confront Cassandra stating that the latter has to go down, even die if it is necessary.

As several of her fellow awakened beings battle the Abyssal One, she observes that even their combined assault is not enough to halt the latter's advance. She assumes her awakened form and joins the fray, attacking Cassandra's main body. Only then does Cassandra halt, giving Cynthia, Tabitha and Yuma the opportunity to draw out her consciousness.

Just when the battle seems to be tipping towards the awakened beings' favor, Cassandra undergoes tranformations making her resemble Priscilla, and then stands. The Abyssal One, then, uses the Dust Eater, cutting off Octavia's hind legs. All other awakened beings are injured and most are killed in the attack.

Two female awakened beings seemingly survive the attack. Chronos and Lars arrive and point out a third surviving awakened being who was feigning death, Europa. All three assume their awakened forms and join the battle. Octavia restrains Cassandra with her ribbons, stopping the latter from using the Dust Eater. Cassandra is torn apart by the combined efforts of the awakened beings and Clare destroys the center of the Abyssal One's chest which held the Priscilla-like torso. .

Cassandra regains her true self and engages the awakened beings once more, demonstrating even greater mobility than when she was in a trance-like state while under Priscilla's control. Octavia's own attack misses the Abyssal One, much to her surprise. After Europa's sudden departure towards Rabona, Octavia is among the four left standing against Cassandra.

By the time Priscilla has ended her battle with the Riful-like being, only Chronos, Octavia and Lars remain. Cassandra, noting the similarities between her current situation and the circumstances surrounding her demise, goes for the offensive. Lars is quickly defeated, Cassandra's tentacles ripping him in half. At this point, the warriors decide to reinstate the original plan of luring Cassandra to Priscilla, which Octavia agrees to. Chronos, however, expresses his desire to take revenge for his friend's death himself, but Octavia scoffs, saying that he didn't have the power to pull it off. She added that Europa had the right idea when she escaped.
