Name: Octavia
Age: 15
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Weyr: High Reaches
Rider Rank: Wingrider
Previous Rank/Craft: Fisher Apprentice- Oysters
Physical Description: Currently, as a pubescent teen, she is tall and gangly with mild curves that are hardly noticeable under baggy cloths. Her hair is a rich dark brown with auburn lights (mainly from being in the sunlight). She has sharp grey colored eyes and a rich olive colored tan from spending many days out on the ocean.
She likes to keep her hair braided behind her, or loose flowing in the wind. It makes her almost appear untamed when she lets it do that though. She can dress up if need be, but she very much likes to run around without shoes on and outfits that are too big for her. She doesn't like the way tight cloths make her feel constricted.
She will be 5'6 as an adult and will curve out only slightly and retain a rather athletic and lithe build. She has a swimmers body, so well developed arms, shoulders, back and legs with a narrow waist. Her skin may lighten slightly as she gets older, but she's going to retain most of her olive coloration as she will be outside quite frequently.
Personality: Octavia, much like her sister, is a very well organized young girl. She is constantly planning and coming up with ideas of how to better improve on herself and what she and her sister do for a living. She is a very well rounded in the ways of the sea, such as running a ship; when the tide is going to come and go; best weather for fishing or diving and how to track sea life movements. She is also very informed on what hold folk do on land, such as weaving netting; running a small business and bartering. She's very much aware of what is important to keep their businesses running and what must be sacrificed sometimes. These attributes will eventually lead for her to be a great dragon rider, and possibly weyrwoman one day if she impresses. Above all else though, Octavia has a big heart, she doesn't often show it but it's there and she is always on the look out to make things better for everyone, not just herself. She'd give the cloths of her back to help someone if she could, though since she's pretty logical, she wouldn't necessarily do just that, but instead come up with another way to provide for those in need
She is a very resilient young girl, she'd have to be growing up with her parents being killed like they had and then being tossed in to live with her uncle. She is very resourceful when it comes to just about anything and doesn't back down from very much. She will often think of the fly if in a tight spot and use whatever is at hand to make a situation work in her favor. She is a straight shooter and when she has her sights set on a specific ideal, then she sticks with it. She doesn't rarely back down from a cause that is important to her. She believes fair is fair and duties are duties, it doesn't matter who you are to her. You all have a role in this life and she tends to make sure everyone is pulling their weight.
Just as you have strengths, you have weaknesses. Octavia is rather ignorant to the dangers of the world around her. It's not because she isn't aware of them, it's just because of how her sister and her grew up and what they do now that makes her rather blind to the actual hazards she faces daily. Diving and sailing are both very dangerous professions, one never knows what's lurking in the depths of the water or when the weather might change, yet day after day they are out there doing what they do best. Due to her ignorance she has a very light and careless concern for her mortality. She's not really reckless, just doesn't really understand the significance of the dangers that are poised in the world around her and her work. This makes her a little gutsy and sometimes a little impractical to be around. Despite all of that she does have a side of caution to her and she tends to make sure that neither herself or her sister jump into a situation unprepared. This could cause for delays to happen in plans, but she'd rather be prepared than unprepared.
When it comes to her sister she will almost always let her have what she wants, but she won't let her push her around. Those are two very different view points. She will help her sister lead, but she won't be lead around and she definitely won't let someone disrespect either of them. She can be rather competitive at times with her sister, but she won't ever do anything to cause her harm. She wouldn't think twice about getting into a fight with her over a cause that was important to her, but beyond that she would never physically cause harm to her sister.

History: Octavia and her fraternal twin Banashe were born into a loving family in Bitra. Their parents were killed by someone who owed money and had hoped to steal what they had but unfortunately that hadn't been very much at all. It was decided by their extended family in various other places, that the girls would go live with an uncle who was an oyster farmer in Tillek Hold.
Being so close to the sea made Octavia connect with it and become unafraid of the dangers that it held. As soon as they were able she started diving for Oysters in the shallows and eventually would sneak out on her own to dive in the deeper, darker parts of the sea. To which she became very familiar with the dolphins that inhabited the waters.
Octavia and her sister were searched ICLY at Tillek Hold by Naressa of Blue Reciproth. Reciproth was drawn to Octavia, Killasisa drawn to her twin. They were out on the boat when this happened.
She excelled in her weryling training, despite the strife between Zangoth and Severth. It actually pushed her to try harder to prove her and her blue were just as good as her twin and her brown. Being a new rider she hasn't had to fly in threadfall just yet, but she's anxious and excited to be able to fight it and prove her worth in the ranks.
Other: Is a very strong swimmer and has made a bond with a few of the water mammals that inhabit the shores. At one pointed wanted to be a dolphineer but chose to dive for oysters and sail instead.
