Backstory: A long time ago Oktavia was a normal school girl. Friendly, intelligent, kind and charming. In all aspects she was your average girl. On her 13th birthday she unlocked the potential within her to become a mage. A magical girl as she would enthusiastically come to call herself, just like all the girls in the stories! Her naivety left her unprepared for what was to follow.
She was taken under the wing of other magi who taught her how to possess her power. She was a fast learner, one spell after the other she took in with ease. Her potential left the possibilities endless for what she could do. Even her teachers were surprised with the rate at which she learned. But doubts festered within the circle of magi, one so powerful could upset the balance of power. If left to grow in power, what would she do? Oktavia didn't know of the doubts people held. She still had the mentality of a young girl, oblivious to the ways of the world.
During her time studying, Oktavia had become fast friends with another girl, Lusila. Both were the same age and had matching personalities. They studied together, practiced together and lived together. While Lusila wasn't as talented as Oktavia, it didn't hinder their friendship and only brought them closer as Oktavia helped her with any difficulties. As time went on, Oktavia found herself falling in love with Lusila but didn't have the courage to ever make her feelings clear.
Eventually her power was put to practical use. Sent out into the world, she was told to hunt witches (mages who left the circle) and help people wherever it was needed. Witches much older than her fell to her incredible power. With each witch defeated, her power grew ever more. She began to believe herself a warden of justice, to root out evil and save the innocent. To younger apprentices she was a hero and a symbol to what they could achieve. To the older magi, she was a threat and potentially a danger. If she were to leave the circle, who could stop her? What if she influenced young apprentices to go with her? This paranoia amongst the circle would ironically contribute to Oktavia's tragic fall.
Despite defeating witches and doing as best she could to help, relations between the circle and regular people continued to fall sharply as many couldn't see the difference between a mage and witch. The warden of justice Oktavia found her efforts went without thanks by the common folk. Back at the only place she called home, other mages began to avoid her out of jealousy or orders by the circle. Even the young apprentices fell under the influence of their teachers and avoided her. The only person Oktavia had left to turn to was her one remaining and most trusted friend, Lusila. But it would turn out to be the final nail in the coffin when Oktavia discovered the girl she loved had already found another. Her mind snapped and she fled the circle.
Alone and without a home, Oktavia was lost. Despite her power she was still a young girl and the pressure on her shoulders was too much to handle. Everywhere she went she was shunned or turned away. Even her former home didn't want her. She didn't want to be alone anymore. Taking advantage of the situation, a kind witch approached and took her under her own wing. It was with her that Oktavia learned dark magic that allowed her to do things she never dreamed of. It was also then that she changed.
The witch pushed Oktavia further down the dark path her mind was on. Why should she save a world which didn't want her? With her power, she could do as she wished. Those that she deemed worthy to be saved from the cruel world would be liberated, and become one with her. Satisfied with her teachings, the witch left her young apprentice. Oktavia now knew what she must do.
It was not long after that she was found by her former friend Lusila. Shocked at what Oktavia was saying, she begged her to come back and let her save her. But it was too late for that. With no choice, Lusila had to defeat her best friend. Despite her valiant efforts her power was no match for Oktavia. It was then that she took her first victim, shrinking and swallowing her whole to be digested and become one. Lusila would be hers forever.
Once a hero, she has fallen into despair and become an insane and sadistic witch angry at the world. Her power makes her an incredibly dangerous predator who few would stand a chance of surviving.
Abilities: Offensively, Oktavia can summon weapons such as swords for melee combat or combine them with the elements to use them in conjunction with fire. She can also control her speed or even slow down time, leaving her prey helpless before her. To immobilize foes, she can summon solid thorns from the ground to bind whoever she chooses.
Defensively she can use her speed to dodge most attacks or create a distance between her and her enemy. Summoning barriers, she can block almost any attack or reflect it back. If she was to suffer injury, restoration magic can regenerate her body.
The dark arts she learned from the witch allow her to physically alter her body or those of others. She can shrink prey to any size to have her fun with them. When altering her own body, she can open her mouth wide enough to swallow whole a full sized person. Her insides become more flexible and her throat powerful enough to suck prey deep inside her expanding stomach for digestion. Similarly her vagina and womb can also expand to take in large prey or her anus, rectum and intestines should she take prey through the rear passage.
