Octavia Muss partners with Miller as a Ceres detective, starting with bored professionalism that evolves into unkempt urgency from pillow-pulled hair and manic energy during investigations. Her thin soul, marked by countless grim cases, lends quiet depth to their collaboration on the Scopuli mystery. From mild surprise to final support, she embodies the Belt's jaded but resilient law enforcers amid rising tensions.
Description
Average Belter build honed practical for station life, her 30s frame carries the lean efficiency of low-g, clad in rumpled detective jacket and pants suited for Ceres corridors. Unkempt hair falls in disheveled waves, framing eyes that register only mild surprise amid a bored, world-worn gaze—thin soul from dark cases hollowing her cheeks. Arms crossed in habitual defensiveness, she radiates contained manic energy beneath a professional veneer.
