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 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 equine body upon which her human torso is attached. Her hair becomes wavy and darker in color in this form.

Personality
Based on her demeanor while talking with the Ghosts, she 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.

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.
