[color=6ecff6]Octavia stands at 5'4. She is just a petite girl at first glance but upon closer inspection, she is visibly toned and strong due to her years of training. She has raven black hair which flows to her hips, but you will rarely see her without the signature braid. Thick, dark eyelashes frame her ocean-blue eyes; a contrast to her fair skin. Octavia is always clad in black, usually wearing the traditional garbs of the Starforge household. [/color]

[color=6ecff6]Octavia comes from a bloodline of Dark Casters. These are mages who delve into the dark arts by extracting human soul stones and using them to amass great power. For centuries, the Crestkeep family has been discreet about their forbidden practices, laying low and staying in secret, but the darkness eventually consumed them and left them with an uncontrollable desire to kill others to fuel their powers; this was referred to as the Curse of The Crestkeep. The curse would physically show itself through their eyes, the usual shades of blue turning into red orbs. Word of their power and wickedness eventually got out, and the military took it upon themselves to hire powerful mages and assassins to execute the family.

The man who led the operation was Lord Starforge; a nobleman. He also belonged to a family of assassins who worked directly for the military. The operation was a success, but not without casualties. With the powers they have amassed from human sacrifices, the Crestkeep easily overwhelmed the other mages. After Starforge's team succeeded in the operation, they split up to investigate the house, confiscating many forbidden relics and soul stones. Alone, Starforge investigated the main bedroom, which eventually led him to find the secret room behind the large bookshelf. Laying there in a small crib, was the newborn child, Octavia. By orders, he was to exterminate every last member of the Crestkeep family, but he found himself unable to fulfill his duty, bombarded with the memories of his wife and son who died in cruel hands years before. With great hesitation, he decided to hide her from the rest and take her under his wing, keeping her identity a secret and raising her as his own.

When Octavia reached six years of age, Starforge found her in her room, practicing the art of magic. He felt a sudden pang of fear, and after days of weighing his conflicted thoughts, he finally decided it would be better to tell her the truth about her identity--afraid that she would end up on the same path as her ancestors. To his great surprise, young Octavia responded that she already knew, even claiming that she would often dream of her ancestors and hear their voices speaking to her. Upon hearing this, he lost his composure and cried, fearing for his child. He had always thought that Octavia would not inherit the Curse of the Crestkeep. After Octavia saw the fear in her father's eyes, she then realized that she, herself, was afraid. She promised her father that she would stay away from magic, and instead learn to fight with a sword, just like him.

Octavia spent years training with her father and his unit. She showed exceptional skills in combat, her small stature enabling her to be more stealthy and swift compared to the rest of the men. When she's not training, she occasionally spends her time practicing the flute. To this day, Octavia is still haunted by nightmares and the voices of the damned, but she has kept this a secret from her father, afraid that he would worry too much about her safety. However, as time went on, the dreams became more frequent and violent. She started to have cruel dreams of herself--killing her father. Throughout the day, she would hear the voices of her ancestors telling her to kill Starforge and avenge them. When she woke up one day with her left eye resembling fire, she knew it was time to leave. Octavia was afraid of falling deeper into the curse and losing her control. She covered her left eye with an eyepatch and bid her father farewell, with the excuse of joining a group of adventurers in order to gain real experience.

[color=6ecff6]Octavia fights with stealth and deadly precision. She is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and the use of swords and knives. She doesn't attack her opponents head-on but waits for an opening to land a strike at the perfect time, focusing on her opponent's weaknesses. As she falls behind in raw physical strength compared to others, she relies on her skills, speed, and accuracy.

[*][b][color=f49ac2]Speed and Stealth[/color][/b] - [color=6ecff6]The ability to engage the target and deal damage before the enemy can realize it. She is hard to detect, which allows her to approach the target quickly and quietly. Fighting in an open field would be a disadvantage to her.[/color]

[*][b][color=f49ac2]Hand-to-hand Combat [/color][/b]- [color=6ecff6]Skilled at fighting with her bare hands, though someone who could keep up with her speed and accuracy will have no problems going up against her, as she does not possess as much physical strength.
[/color][*][b][color=f49ac2]Photographic Memory[/color][/b] - [color=6ecff6]She has the ability to remember anything she has seen at least once. Octavia can easily memorize faces, places, and many other things, such as texts in books.[/color]
[*][b][color=f49ac2]Observant[/color][/b] - [color=6ecff6]As a trained assassin, she is able to notice the smallest details and movements. She is skilled at understanding the body language.
