Octavia au Lune
MajorOctavia au Lune is an aged yet ageless woman with flawless golden skin and intense golden eyes, her face possessing a regal cast that is broken only by a long crescent scar running along her right cheekbone, all combining to give her the beauty of a cruel bird of prey. Lustrous silver hair frames her imperious features while her hands shimmer with the Gold sigil on their backs and golden wings mark the sides of her forearms, underscoring her absolute authority. She possesses a tall, elegant build and carries herself with the dignified, predatory grace of the Society's Sovereign.
Octavia au Lune, the iron-willed Sovereign of the Society, enters the saga in Red Rising as an ageless tyrant whose flawless golden skin and crescent scar project predatory authority over the color hierarchy. In Golden Son her cellular rejuvenation begins to falter, revealing a frail yet unbreakable frame that still commands starships and Praetorian legions while Darrow’s rebellion gathers momentum against her. By Morning Star the century of empire has etched her marble features into weary resignation; her final confrontation with Darrow ends both her life and the old regime, her distant eyes marking the close of Gold supremacy.
Physical Description
Octavia au Lune is an aged yet ageless woman with flawless golden skin and intense golden eyes, her face possessing a regal cast that is broken only by a long crescent scar running along her right cheekbone, all combining to give her the beauty of a cruel bird of prey. Lustrous silver hair frames her imperious features while her hands shimmer with the Gold sigil on their backs and golden wings mark the sides of her forearms, underscoring her absolute authority. She possesses a tall, elegant build and carries herself with the dignified, predatory grace of the Society's Sovereign. Octavia au Lune is a hundred-year-old Gold woman rendered ageless by cellular rejuvenation, her creased face more handsome than beautiful and impassive as a mountain with features hardened like diamond by the pressures of rule. Cold burning eyes survey all before her with piercing focus, her long fingers painted vivid red steeple thoughtfully or wag in gesture, and she maintains a frail but unbreakable build while standing tall yet barely reaching the shoulders of her massive Praetorian guards. She moves with the quiet, listening power of a sovereign whose human frailty only accentuates her eternal commanding presence in elegant Lunar halls and starships alike. Octavia au Lune appears as an aged yet rejuvenated Gold woman with a marble face deeply etched by the cold sneer of command that shifts into a serene matronly visage. Her tightly bound hair is shot with rivers of gray, blue tendrils worm from the corners of her golden eyes, and her shoulders slump wearily beneath the weight of a hundred years of empire. Long elegant fingers extend from her hands as she wears a black jacket, her entire presence radiating tyrannical authority even as her eyes grow distant and dark in her final moments.
