Octavia Milanidas

Summary
''"She is a masterpiece given life. She is an Arknian." -First meeting with Octavia''

Octavia Milanidas is one of the most beautiful women in the empire, and one of the most powerful. She is Archduke Milanidas' progeny, and he is the archduke of Magra, your home Province. Octavia is the romantic interest for the Path Of The Nobleman. Her counterparts are Jeanne and Sophia

Sir Brante
Octavia reacts as you would expect from an Arknian to a human commoner at first. Your first meeting is by a fountain in Anzinotte during your Adolescence, when she drops her handkerchief. The outcome of this can determine whether or not she remembers you, giving you more options with her later on. Her relationship to you is ultimately up to your decisions. It is important to note that Octavia is an Arknian who, like most of her kin, believes humans to be far below her, and believes that everyone should honor the traditions of Old and respect their lots. Choices or playthroughs in which Sir Brante favors these ideals will allow you to get more from your relationship with her. She is passionate, possessive, and utterly, completely Arknian.

Other Characters
It is unknown exactly what her relationships with other people are. Like an Arknian is wont to do, she is secretive and does not disclose most things to you, so many things are never learned by the player. Her relationship to her father, the Archduke, is tense. He will often use her as a pawn to intimidate people by sending her in his steed, or using her in place of himself at social gatherings and appointments just to make a point about his stance on certain issues. Likewise, she will use his power and influence to get what she wants, sending letters impersonating him or speaking on his behalf without permission. Generally, she views her father as part of the reason she feels so entrapped within her obligations to noble society and the Blood Tide.

She finds solace in her secret society, the Circle Of The La-Tari. The people who attend the rituals may be described as her closest compatriots, though not much is known about them as a point; they pretend to be the ancient, enigmatic race of the La-Tari to shed their mortal bonds, as such no mortal bonds can be formed without disclosing a certain worldly violation of the peace that the ritual brings.
