shoulder-length, wild and wavy, dark brown.
chocolate brown.
of the three tattoos that Octavia has thus far accumulated, the italicised name 'Adela' and date beneath it, 'II/V/MCMXCVIII' is by far the most meaningful. It signifies the final, deciding battle of the Second Wizarding War, and the consequent death of Octavia's younger sister. It sits in sombre stillness at the left base of her collar bone, not far from her scar- a lightning network-looking thing that spreads in thing, pale ridges from the base of her right hip, up towards her clavicle. The scar is courtesy of Antonin Dolohov, the same deatheater that killed both Adela Chaves and Remus Lupin and was defeated by Filius Flitwick in the same battle. She also has a tattoo of a tree on her right inner ankle, that grows and adjusts in accordance to the seasons, and a minimalist tattoo of a black bear, her patronus.
Casual yet fashionable, Octavia has an arsenal of vintage tee shirts and oversized jackets. She is especially fond of denim, both in jacket and jean form, and her minimal jewellery is always gold.

LIKES; as captain of her quidditch team, it is only to be expected that she has a strong fondness for the sport. In fact, any time spent in the air is time well spent, as far as she is concerned. On the ground, meanwhile, she enjoys engaging in debate and duelling, particularly when she wins, as she is wont to do. She greatly enjoys her metamorphmagus abilities, as does she chocolate and sleeping in, and all of her classes, although DADA, charms, transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures are her favourites.

DISLIKES; ever since accidentally eating a rotten egg-flavoured one in her second year, Octavia can't stand Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. She also dislikes sour food, in general, as well as the taste of most muggle alcoholic drinks, especially beer. Like all decent people, she loathes blood supremacism and supremacists, whilst on a lighter note, she can't stand crude humour, queues and long waits. Hospitals and funerals both make put her on edge, and she absolutely hates feeling embarrassed or overly vulnerable.

As displayed in the Battle of Hogwarts, Octavia is a fiercely courageous individual, particularly when the stakes involve protecting the welfare of those she cares about, and even those she does not. She holds grudges, most certainly, but they have yet to hinder her good will when it really matters, and although she has moments of pettiness in a casual sense, as well as moments of vindictiveness, she does not let such things drive her, and knows, usually, when to be the bigger person. Even in those moments, however, her natural snark tends to leak into her words, sarcasm blatant and blunt. She is one who does not take to bullying well, and tends to fight back to cruelties in equal measure, occasionally opting for an eye-for-an-eye philosophy that is far from ideal. Needless to say, she has a lot to learn.
Her humour is omnipresent, even in her darkest moments, as she seeks to elicit even the wryest of smiles rather than risk being overcome by stress, fear or grief. She is extremely talented when it comes to keeping up a front, and seeming strong even when she is on the verge of breaking. Perhaps it is the loathing of her shortcomings, and her many insecurities, that have pushed her to hide anything that could suggest she is anything less than competent, prepared, enduring. Regardless of her situation, however, her wit is something to be either cherished, or frustrated by, for she always has something clever to say, a card to play in the many games of rapport that she has going on with both friend and foe.
She has a troublemaker streak that, quite fittingly, tends to land her in exactly that, although she always seems to be able to get herself out again. She is often struck by a desire for excitement, and her curiosity, once awoken, does not rest until satisfied. She hates not having answers, and will do whatever she can to seek out what she is looking for.
A touch hot-headed, her potential for Gryffindor truly arises when she is struck by passion, as she so often is. She is fervent in everything she does, but especially so in protest and revolution. She has a lot of dissatisfactions with the world, and with society, and is unafraid to demand change. In fact, sometimes she struggles to avoid discussing such things, as she has found that, for the most part, if people don't align with her fundamental values, then there is precisely zero chance that they will get along. For this reason, some have called her intolerant, which she believes is ironic, considering she believes that her refusal to tolerate intolerance is simply common sense combined with human decency.
Her emotional side has often led to her making split-second decisions that she later regrets, or, at least, later regrets getting caught doing. She acts instinctively, and does not always make the most diplomatic split-second decisions. This is dangerous enough on its own, but when you also happen to be one of the most fearsome duellists in your year... well, things can get especially worrisome, especially fast.

D U E L L I N G
- top of her class in DADA, Octavia has always had a knack for combative magic, and since the Battle of Hogwarts, her determination to improve has only led to an intense increase in skill and ability- albeit never quite becoming skilled enough to satisfy her own perfectionistic standards.
Q U I D D I T C H & F L Y I N G
- something that has always brought her joy is quidditch, and even now, it serves as both a hobby and a way to destress. it helps that she is very, very good at it, as is clear from her position as captain of her house team.
I N T E L L I G E N C E
- unsurprising for a Ravenclaw, but impressive nonetheless, Octavia has always possessed a sharp acumen. It bleeds into both her academics, assuring her top marks in her subjects, and her wit, granting her fast reactions and an ability to think on her feet with ease and without hesitation.
W E A K N E S S E S
P E R F E C T I O N I S T
- perfectionism can be admirable, to a degree. Unfortunately, Octavia's own brand of perfectionism sways less towards wanting the best from herself, and more towards being intolerant of her own shortcomings. She is seldom completely satisfied with what she does, regardless of quality, and is very often caught up by her own self-criticisms.
T E M P E R A M E N T A L
- hot-headed and prone to outbursts, Octavia sometimes struggles to keep calm and collected. She is influenced heavily by her emotions, and gets caught up in her own feelings to the point of jeopardising herself through her own impulsivity.
J A D E D
- the war changed her, just as it did many others, and she lacks the sunniness she once did. Her world view, and her view of people, is far more cynical now, and it has led her to being sometimes being a tad bleak, and blunt in her honesty.
Q U I R K S
-
H O B B I E S
- Even on gameless days, Octavia can often be found on the quidditch pitch, be it practicing or flying, due to a combination of her determination to improve and her sheer enjoyment of the sport. She is also often found in the library or her common room, poring over a book. She enjoys a good game of wizards chess here and there, as well as other board and card games, such as exploding snap.
F A T H E R Marco Sousa, 46, currently imprisoned in Azkaban. Suffice to say, Octavia and Marco are estranged, and she is never going to forgive him for his actions. In the end, he chose Voldermort over his own family, and although he did not do it himself, Octavia will always see him as complicit in Adela's murder.
S I B L I N G Adela Chaves, 17 (deceased), killed in the Battle of Hogwarts by deatheater Antonin Dolohov. Adela and Octavia were always close, playing the cliched role of inseparable twins who seemed telepathic, they were so in sync with one another. They were best friends, and so, naturally, Adela's death devastated Octavia, who still loathes the fact that she couldn't protect her sister.

Octavia and Adela spent their sixth and fifth years, respectively, as members of Dumbledore's Army, spreading rebellion propaganda and generally defying the authority of the Voldemort-initiated school administration. It was a dangerous thing to be a part of, and both sisters suffered punishments at the hands of the Carrows for their actions, although this did not deter them. Their taking part in the rebellion against Voldemort ultimately culminated in the Battle of Hogwarts, the worst and final battle of the Second Wizarding War.
The battle still serves as a source of much grief and trauma for Octavia, who fought in the battle herself, as did her sister. The two fought valiantly, side by side. However, shortly after deatheater Antonin Dolohov murdered Remus Lupin, they attempted to engage him in battle themselves. Despite their determination, the deatheater was a powerful enemy, and successfully killed the younger of the two sisters, before striking Octavia with a curse that left a brutal scar. The curse should have killed her, and she is lucky to have survived, given that she would have certainly been killed if not for Filius Flitwick's intervention, which resulted in Antonin's successful defeat.
Unfortunately, the professor was too late to save Adela, and she died almost immediately after being hit by one of Dolohov's curses. She was dead by the time that Octavia awoke from her own state of unconsciousness.
Following Voldemort's defeat, Marco, and many more of Voldemort's followers were sentenced to time in Azkaban. He learnt of Adela's death shortly before being sentenced, and in the month following the Battle of Hogwarts, Ada not only got her job at the ministry back, but was promoted to Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement. She sentenced many of Voldemort's followers herself, including Antonin Dolohov, the man that murdered her daughter.
