I've choosed to give Octavia a butterfly, because they are simbols of beauty, grace and changing (Octi always change after meeting a red-eyed DJ), plus they are often used in Victorian style.

The butterfly is a japanese race, the [i]Papilio helenus nicconicolens[i/] (Butler). It's a reference to Madame Butterfly, a sad lyrical opera, because I like to see Octi music as melodramatic. The color scheme was very fitting and the red in the wings is reminiscent of the eyes of her gruffy lover

I usually see Octavia paired with a raven but now(because of this) I feel a butterfly is truly the perfect pet and animal for Octavia. This took my breath away.

I have to say, I love this piece. I personally, can feel a sort of sad, docile tone coming from it. Though, at the same time I can see some happiness in there. It's amazing, mate. Keep working at it and I hope to see more Tavi art from you!
