<blockquote>" ''The Mermaid Witch. Once dreamt of love. The Law of the Cycle split off some of its souls and sent them to the earth. One of them took the form of Dessert. Another took on the form of a mermaid. And the Law of Cycles itself descended upon the surface, more reverently than the morning dew. Her form was like that of a magical girl who once was."</blockquote>

==Summary==
Oktavia is a member of the Holy Quintet, five [[Witches]] that preceeded the last Walpurgisnacht. For whatever reason, this Witch seems to bear the same name as Oktavia whom the Church calls the First Knight. In the Shieldmaiden Heresy, she fought against the Shieldmaiden and defeated her, before losing life herself - so it is recorded within the Book of Blessed Lady.


==Description==
*Oktavia is now reduced to a Witch Core, sitting comfortably in a fancy box.
*In her complete form, she had a fish tail for a lower body, and a puppet-like upper body. She wears a cloak, armor and an odd triple-visored helmet.
*She has two puppet-like arms, at least one of them wielding a single-edged sword, using it partially as a dirigent's baton.
*Her Barrier is a concert hall.
*She has several types of Familiars, usually either members of the orchestra she is directing, or dancers who enjoy it's music. Her Witch magic had consisted of summoning massive wooden cartwheels.


==History==
Oktavia's Witch Core is the main objective of the Big Shell Mission, in threads 190-200.

It is sealed within a gilded box, and recovered by [[Sayaka Miki]]. When she approaches the box, she hears enchanting music, and resists its charm only with great effort. It is not clear what would happen if she gave in.

After defeating the giant robotic sentinel that was woken up by the box being taken, she later passes the box to [[Chiaki Matsuda]], who hands it to [[Kyubey]] after being filed in on its contents. From then on, Oktavia's Witch Core is in the Ninth's possession.

==Trivia==
*Although Oktavia herself appears only in the Big Shell mission and is mentioned in Yuma's flashback, Oktavia the First Knight is mentioned earlier in writeups, as well as passingly in Malal's flashback (thread 149).
