## History

### Early Life

Octavia Baker was born to Arion Baker, son of Isis the Egyptian goddess of magic and Hecate, goddess of magic, sorcery, crossroads, night, witchcraft, the moon, herbs, graves, necromancy, ghosts, all prophetic power and the dead. in London, England on June 17, 2004. Five years before her. Her older brother, Anthony was born to Trivia, the roman version of Hecate. Arion was a single man. He lived an easy life going about his daily life as a RN at the local hospital. One evening he was out after work getting a late night drink to take off the edge of his nerves after her long day. But a drink turned into several when he met a nice woman. She was quite polite and offered to drive him home. He politely accepted and gave her directions on how to get there. When they got home he asked her for her number. She simply stated "No worries just meet me at the bar tomorrow and we can get a few drinks”. So he did just that. But this time when she offered to drive him home he said sure and when they got home he asked her to come in.

She did and they sat in his living room in an awkward silence. He asked her politely if she would sleep with him as he had begun to get lonely and wanted a companion. She accepted and let him sleep with her. When he awoke she was gone without a trace. He never heard from her for 4 months. He waited and waited and never heard a peep. Till one evening she showed up again. But instead of being alone she had a child. A young boy. She simply stated "Your child" and presented the child to him. He took the young boy and when he looked up the woman was gone again. He raised the boy and named him Anthony. Five years later, as I said, the woman came back and they had their daughter Octavia. They lived happily for three years. Nothing huge happened to them thankfully. They just had a nice quiet family life with him going to work and the two their first to a daycare then to an elementary school.

### Childhood

Their father never married but he dated. Octavia never liked the women he brought home and on most occasions wasn't afraid to say so. So they all left him and he was sad. He went to the bar every night hoping to meet the woman again but he never did. Then one night he got really drunk. And when he was driving home he had a head on collision with another vehicle. He died on impact. When the court tried to decide what to do with them. They decided to place them in foster care. That is how they came to be the "children" of Mr. and Mrs. Merina, and the family later moved from England to California.

### Life with Mr. and Mrs. Merina

When they came to the family they met a young girl by the name of Zella. She assumed her to be the Merina's child and Octavia smiled warmly. "My name is Octavia!” She said politely. The two then spent the next few days learning about the family. They learned about the family business of puppet making. Octavia spent a lot of time playing with Zella and her little puppets. She kept up a constant stream of chatter while watching her disassemble and reassemble them. One night Anthony was laying in bed reading a story book to his sister when they heard Zella knock on the door. Octavia got up and Zella motioned for them to follow. It was late so the siblings creeped along quietly. And when they reached the top of the stairs she peeked down to see a monster turn to glare at them and Zella. Someone made a squeaking sound and the monster tried to charge them. But Anthony tackled him and she and Zella ran to her room. Octavia heard a beautiful song coming from down the stairs and then some time later Anthony and the strange man came to their room. Anthony and the man exchanged a look and then Anthony told them to pack their things because they were going on a trip. It turned out this would just be a change of home as they moved in with the man, who she later learned was named Jeremy. Jessica told her while they were there that he was a family who wanted to keep them safe.

### New Family

The whole family lived together happily. Mom and Dad, as the siblings took to calling them, ran their store. Them and their adopted sister Zella played with and made their own little puppets. And Jeremy was mostly out and about. But one day something really strange happened. Someone knocked at the door. Everyone was home but Dad who was closing up the store. Mom answered the door, scoffing that Dad had forgotten his key. But when she opened the door an inch it burst open and Mom was knocked over. Jeremy immediately was there pulling off his bracelet that he always wore. It turned into a sword! The woman who had burst in through the door changed as the bracelet did and she looked like an old hag with a bronze leg. Jeremy confronted the creature. But what was wrong with his legs!? They were hooves like a goat. Octavia was so uncertain of what was happening. The creature slashed at Jeremy with her claws but Jeremy blocked her attacks with his sword and it cut off her arm. The creature reared back in pain and Jeremy took the initiative. He slashed at the monster repeatedly until it dissolved into a strange golden dust. The siblings looked into Zella's eyes confused and shocked. Jeremy turned to them and Dad walked through the door. Seeing Mom sitting on the ground and Jeremy standing there with his new hooves and sword. Jeremy explained everything in short and said he needed to begin training her and her sister to get them ready to go to camp.

### Life with Jeremy and Going to Camp

Jeremy took the siblings, who were twelve and seven years old respectively, and Zella, who was also seven under his wing. He even gave them their first weapons. Octavia spotted a lovely necklace that she immediately picked up and put on. But it soon turned into a whip with three spikes at the end. She giggled happily and snapped the whip. When she turned to look at Zella she saw her pick up a ring. It grew to cover her knuckles turning into a pentra claw. Anthony picked out a pen that turned into a Khopesh. She saw Jeremy hand her another ring that acted in the same manner. During their training The Siblings and Zella's powers began to develop. Octavia started to notice strange powers of her own. Jeremy tried to help her but couldn't figure out her powers. So Octavia simply repressed them during her training. Jeremy helped her, her older brother and adopted sister fine tune the use of their weapons. Octavia learned early that her weapon was fit right for her. She could snap it with such poise and class. One day while her and Jeremy were training she used her whip to cut 3 deep gouges with her whip into a log. They were so deep that if she had placed them any better they may have gone all the way through. Then one day their training was put to the test.

While the siblings and Zella were training Jeremy ran in beaten and bloody. He told them to get ready that a group of empousai were on their way. The three ran in through the door not moments later Octavia creamed to Zella to take care of the one on the left. She then used her whip to cut another group of gouges into her empousa. She made sure to stay back a ways so her weapon would be effective. But then her powers flared up. A red symbol began to glow beneath her. She was terrified but knew to hold out her hand as this had happened before. A ball of fire shot forth and struck the empousa right in the chest. It screamed and tried to charge her. But a blue symbol appeared. This was new but Octavia kept her hand forward and the empousa ran right into an arcane shield. Octavia cracked her whip again and the gouges were enough and the empousa turned to dust. She turned to see that Zella too had finished her opponent. But here powers weren't done raging. The red symbol appeared again and Octavia couldn't hold back the magic. Three fire balls began a blaze in their home. She screamed to Anthony and Zella to help her with Jeremy. And with their help they dragged him out of the home. Jeremy said that they needed to go to camp. So when he was well enough they went to camp slowly. Zella was claimed as a Legacy of Hermes and the siblings were claimed as children of Hecate/Trivia

## Personality

Octavia used to be very cruel as she was bullied herself before any of the UnderSqaud, (The name of Melody's group of friends) came to Camp and was a feared bully. When she was going to mortal school in New York with Melody, she used to be very mean to her but over time Melody became her best and only friend and became great friends with. Over time she became brave, tough, sassy, and in Melody’s opinion kind of clingy to her but they are good friends. Other than that she is very adventurous and loyal to her friend. Octavia has been described as feisty, sassy, and has a knack for being clever. She's also very mischievous and witty, especially in regards to having other students try out her potions. Though, Octavia can be loyal, caring, and brave, especially when the situation calls for it. She deeply cares for her loved ones, and despite her mischievous and cunning tendencies, Octavia does not tolerate blatant deception about matters she deems important and has a strong sense of morality. Octavia mostly keeps to herself. She is sarcastic and aggressive. Once she warms up though, she becomes rather sweet and innocent. If you mess with anyone she deems close to her, she will not hesitate to teach them a lesson. Octavia is well known for her sarcastic and laid back attitude, but she does her best to show her love to her friends. She can be overly friendly and enthusiastic and has a love of machines. Octavia has a short temper, she also has no leadership skills, but loves to speak her mind. She also is persistent and stubborn which she inherited from her brother. Though at times she can be kind and sweet when she's trying to comfort someone or she truly adores the person. She is fun to be around, having the combination of beauty and brains. She's a natural-born leader, and is good at making quick and decisive judgments. Octavia can be seen as overly friendly and enthusiastic with a love of machines.
