"O" of Hexenzirkel in Genshin Impact

Octavia has the codename "O" as part of the secret witch group called Hexenzirkel in Genshin Impact. According to the in-game book, The Little Witch and the Undying Fire, her homeland was destroyed at some point in the past, and instead of fighting back against the reason, she chose to wander eternally across many worlds in the universe.

She is also said to be close with the older witches, likely referring to Anya M. Andersdotter. Other witches in the Hexenzirkel regard her as someone who has seen and traversed too many worlds and has many tales to tell about the sky beyond the sky (referring to Teyvat's false sky).

Because of her wandering nature, her chair is often left empty during Hexenzirkel's tea parties. She rarely comes to visit the other witches in Teyvat, but whenever she does, her loneliness subsides with each passing moment. Her status is currently unknown in-game, with little to no information on whether she's currently alive or dead.

Miliastra Wonderland

According to the opening cutscene, Octavia built the Miliastra Wonderland from fragments of history, culture, and people she gathered during her travels. Every world she visited eventually met its end for reasons still unknown.

To preserve what remained, she gathered these fragments and turned them into small pockets of worlds she could carry with her. Inspired by her Hexenzirkel friends, such as Barbeloth and Andersdotter, she decided to compile all these remnants into a world of her own.

Her only missing piece was a main character who could set everything in motion. For that, she had returned to Teyvat to meet with her friends and locked her sights on the Traveler as the perfect protagonist. She leaves once again by giving her world to the Traveler to explore and bring life to.

As Miliastra Wonderland expands in future updates, HoYoverse will probably shed more light on her past and the true purpose behind the world she created.
