"I was made to support my people. Not sing for them."

## Octavia

"Defense up!!"

***(THIS IS A WIP)***

## Description

Octavia is a yellow-haired Octoling with two front-facing tentacles covering her ears and a long one in the back forming as a ponytail. She has triangular ears, but no earbuds. She wears a simple white and gray hooded jacket with yellow accents across. A shield icon can be seen on the back. She wears a special pair of shoes that lets her keep her feet firm on the ground. She's a large inkling, standing at 5'6, and weighing at 145 lbs in the form of pure muscle. She has green eyes with purple pupils, much like the Octarians from Splatoon 1. She also has visible freckles below her eyes.

## Physical Attributes

Because she is based off of an octopus that focuses on dexterity and tougher skin, her body is made to withstand physical blows more effectively.

## Weapons

### Main Weapon: Defense Brella

The Defense Brella resembles a Splat Brella at first, but when opened has a much larger umbrella and caliber. This weapon was custom-designed specifically for front-line use in the hands of Octavia. The key of this weapon is both great offense and defense, which they had to sacrifice weight to make it happen. This isn't a problem for Octavia though because she lifts. A LOT. The large umbrella shield can stay up for several hours while withstanding enemy ink, and can serve as a mop by easily cleaning up any ink in front, letting Octavia easily push through enemy lines. This weapon can also be used as a melee weapon if the user so wishes.

### Sub Weapon: Shield Bomb

This special weapon when deployed activates a temporary shield around allies that protect them from getting splatted. That way they can recuperate without dealing with enemy fire. The shield durability depends on how much ink it uses up. Using a whole tank lets the shield last for 30 seconds no matter how much enemy fire there is.

### Special: Defense Tacticooler

Instead of a regular Tacticooler that serves speed boosting sodas, this Special gives out sodas that give Defense buffs, as well as temporary Ink Armor. these buffs last for 10 seconds.

## Story

Octavia is the daughter of two unknown Idol Octolings. Because her parents were successful idols, they pressured Octavia with carrying on their legacy. This stressed her entire childhood, and never gave her a chance to have a normal life as a kid. By the time she became at the enough age of 14, she lashed against her parents and left her home. Determined to move to the big city, she hitched an army vehicle heading to Splatsville. Once arriving, she was easily famous for her idol eyes. During her first Turf War matches, she marveled at the Brella collection. Even with her determination to be a successful Turf War champ, she always lost. She discovered how there are almost no players defending their teams, which made her sick. Once she managed to get enough money, she demanded a custom set that was designed to defend and support her team. After obtaining her desired set, she began dominating her matches using front-line tactics that left her invulnerable. She bulldozes the front, as her allies support her in the rear and sides. This gave her a pretty interesting winning streak, and the people recognized her as the Guardian of the Turf.
