Predestination
"So you're the little ticking time bomb, eh?"

- Tariun Sakaros meeting Octavia

Octavia was born while her parents were both operatives of Nar Shaddaa's Merquise Syndicate; her mother was the Syndicate's Operations Vigo, while her father was an Elite Guard. Within weeks of her birth, she was introduced to Nagarian Sakaros; when she instinctively gripped his finger in her tiny fist, her cousin (and Nagarian's sister) Rin Sakaros sensed a powerful touch of destiny connecting them. She reacted with open fear, though she refused to tell Jarek, Alluria, or Nagarian's mother Reiko what she had seen.

Rin and her brother Tariun were emotionally distant with their cousin for years, but Octavia grew up close with Nagarian and Azalyn Kass`l. Both girls were close and idolized the older Nagarian. All three children were kept cloistered in the ziggurat where their parents lived to protect them from the and, both of which had become enemies of their families. When Reiko adopted the infant Kylar Tanake, Octavia and Azalyn thought of him as a combination of baby brother and baby doll, particularly given his shape-shifting abilities. Octavia was also fond of her father's astromech droid, R9-D8, which she treated like a playmate and which was fond of her in turn.

Octavia accompanied her parents to the wedding of Tariun Sakaros and Breek Zagrev in late 145 ABY. Afterward, Rin began treating Octavia with more affection.

Belsavis
In 146 ABY, Octavia and her family moved to, along with Nagarian's and Azalyn's families. The same year, Odala Kass`l gave birth to Azalyn's baby brother Tae, who became the newest member of the pack of children. As the eldest, Nagarian had emerged as the group's leader; Octavia and Azalyn tried to emulate his confidence, boisterous attitude to Kylar and Tae with mixed success.

In 147 ABY, Azalyn left to become a Novice of the Order of Keltrayu. Octavia was sad without the friend who had become like a sister, but grew closer to Nagarian in her absence. She was delighted to have little siblings of her own when her twin siblings Orion and Reia were born in 149 ABY.

Powers and abilities
Octavia inherited her parents' strength in the Force. As of 150 ABY, she was learning to control her powers, trained primarily by her parents, but with occasional influence from Reiko and even Nagarian. She was still learning at that time.

Due to her parents' use of the languages, Octavia could speak and understand and, as well as some.

Appearance and personality
Octavia had blue eyes which, combined with her cream-colored skin and dark brown hair, initially made her greatly resemble her friend Azalyn. In childhood her hair grew long enough to reach her waist.

Octavia was friendly and outgoing, more talkative than introspective Azalyn. She adored Nagarian Sakaros and trusted him implicitly, being willing to follow him on whatever adventures he could cook up. Her status as second oldest child, especially after Azalyn left for the Empire, led her to be somewhat bossy to Tae Kass`l and Kylar Tanake, although Nagarian could usually rein her in.
