Even in her late teens, Octavia knew what she wanted: power, respect, wealth (and even tho she would denies it, the love of her father). She chose her lovers (whom were always much more mature, to be polite) with the same discipline she used on herself, and always made sure she could learn something from them. With her light colored hair, blue-green eyes, and svelte figure, she always turned heads and had no problem getting "her guy". Quiet by choice, and always observing, Octavia had gotten herself a strong foothold in the business world at a considerably young age.

One night, while on holiday in England, Octavia grew restless. In stead of tossing and turning by herself in a huge empty bed...she decided to take a late night stroll by along the Thames River. Figuring the night air would wear her out. Little did she know she was being watched very closely as her predator prepared to pounce. Cullen Shaw of the Priscus clan had been out on the town, and was rejuvenated from a fresh kill when he spotted Octavia meandering by herself. In the dim light, his eyes closed in on her stunning beauty and poise, ignighting his blood in anger. This tart would pay...he thought to himself. Walking by herself, without a care in the world, like she owned the river, he continued to rage. All dolled up, probably to meet her lover or even a john, Cullen let his temper boil until a red haze clouded his vision and he pounced without hesitation.

Octavia was taken unawares, was startled and it took more than a minute to counter the attack. She clawed and punched Cullen, landing solid marks on him...her fury at her father, at the world, at someone thinking her weak unleashed on this super-strong man. Never once did she call out for help, or plead for her safety or her life. This intrigued Cullen and something awoke in him that was never there before....respect. Where as Cullen Shaw of the Priscus clan had planned on taking Octavia's life, he instead embraced her with the dark kiss. Turning her into an immortal, he was taken by her strength and beauty. However minutes after he turned her, these new feelings curdled in his gut and he left her by herself, unconscious on the ground, to be reborn to her new life all on her on. Octavia had a guardian angel looking over her that night tho, for minutes after Cullen left the scene of the attack, did Griffith Therion come to examine the woman left in his wake.

Griffith refreshed Octavia Perry and took her to safety, standing watch over her throughout the night. He was mesmerized by both her beauty and her tenaciousness and vowed to her that he would help her understand what had happened. Upon contacting Alexander, Griffith was given permission to show her the vampire ways, and understand the hunt as well as be her mentor being her sire abandoned her. Both Alexander and Griffith understood Octavia's strength, and knew she would be a valuable allie. Once again, Octavia Perry has risen from the ashes, and took her place in the business world. Returning to New York City she is even more physically and mentally stronger, gaining financial wins. She also keeps tabs on what her sire Cullen Shaw and his clan are up too, while Griffith Therion is her valued body guard and escort in the big apple.

Octavia and Griffith have fallen into each other's beds on numerous occasions, and Griffith only wants to show Octavia that men can care and love instead of hurt and abuse. However he's not dumb, and is aware that Cullen has contacted Octavia on several occasions and that they have had meeting of both the minds and flesh. Octavia is attracted to both men, even tho she declares herself neutral. She knows she has a spot in the Priscus clan, and knows she'll never be allowed to enter into the Therion clan. However she worries as to if and when she is asked whom will she choose and where her loyalty will stand. Be cold and heartless, like her sire, Cullen (who has never gotten her out of his mind) or find peace and happiness in the arms of Griffith, who only wants love in return.
