==History==
===Anime===
====Original Anime====
Oktavia makes her first appearance at the end of [[Episode 8]] when {{Spoiler|Sayaka finally falls into despair and becomes a witch.}} Most of her body is covered by her cape in her first appearance. She makes her full appearance in [[Episode 9]] when [[Kyoko]] takes [[Madoka]] to her labyrinth to try and save Sayaka. Her familiars: Holger make an appearance in her labyrinth but never seem to attack. As Madoka tries to speak to {{Spoiler|Sayaka to bring her back,}} Oktavia screams at the girls and attacks them with wheels. Even when Kyoko cuts off one of her hands, she doesn't seem to notice. [[Homura]] arrives as the floor of the labyrinth crumbles and she catches Madoka. Kyoko tells her to take Madoka to safety as she plans to defeat Oktavia herself. She creates a giant spear and throws her [[Soul Gem]] into the attack, killing both of them but allowing her to be with {{Spoiler|Sayaka.}}

Oktavia appears again in [[Episode 10]] in an alternate timeline. In this timeline her labyrinth and theme is much more like a rock concert than an orchestra. She also has different familiars: Klarissa, that resemble [[Hitomi]]. Instead of orchestra members like Holger, they are backup dancers. All four girls try to defeat Oktavia in this timeline to save {{Spoiler|Sayaka}} but Homura defeats her with explosives to quickly protect Madoka.

====The Rebellion Story====
Oktavia makes a reappearance in [[The Rebellion Story]] as part of Sayaka's army. She fights {{Spoiler|Homulilly}} with the magical girls. Aside from the Rental familiars she uses, her unique familiars, both Holger and Klarissa, appear in Sayaka's orchest hall. The Holgers play different instruments while the Klarissas dance with the other familiars. They have a brief description, shown in Ulla's Rental Ver. Concept page.

;Holger & Klarissa
Minions of the Mermaid Witch. They don't stand out much, but they use their musical performance magic to create a platform of sheet music at Sayaka's feet. Now they not just perform the sound of violins. If you look closely, you'll also see the cheering minions in the concert hall who are supporting them. (人魚の魔女の手下。あまり目立たないが演奏魔法でさやかの足元に楽譜の足場を作っていた。今はもうバイオリンの音だけではない。コンサートホールには、よく見ると応援役の手下もいる。)

===Games===
====Madoka Mobage====
In the event [[The Hollow Little Mermaid]], [[Elise (Mobage)|Elise]] uses her unique magic to save Sayaka, who had just become Oktavia von Seckendorff. Because of this, Elise dies and becomes Oktavia von Seckendorff in her place and Sayaka lives as a result of Elise's sacrifice.

====Magia Record====
=====In-Game ([[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description=====
The Doppel of unrequited love. Its form is a mermaid.
The master of this emotion suffered from young love and chose a fate so harsh that she could not bear it alone. As such, the Doppel dreams of love while it swims effortlessly through the air, playing a song for its master from its vast hollow body. It can control several swords to attack its enemies with the soundwaves that emanate from its body, but as long as the master uses it, she cannot flee from the discontent that troubles her heart.

=====[[Sayaka Miki (Haregi ver.)|Haregi]] version description=====
The Doppel of romance. Its form is a mermaid. Though the master of this emotion has been anguished by love all the way to the year’s end, she’s positively delighted by this opportunity to don her favorite formal wear. Even so, the unease born out of her unchanging love still lurks within her heart, quietly tormenting its master. Her Doppel has been just as lovesick, but when clad in these auspicious symbols, its confidence soars. Its glow practically seems to bestow good fortune and ward off disaster, and it fearlessly charges forward no matter what obstacles may lay in its path. Those crushed by its sheer force will witness the sun and Mount Fuji in their final moments, and will surely be able to put the sight into a masterful piece of brushwork.

=====[[Sayaka Miki (Surfer ver.)|Surfer]] version description=====
The Doppel of romantic yearning. Its form is a mermaid. The master of this emotion averts her eyes from the fundamental truth that “unannounced feelings cannot reach their recipient,” and continues to wait for a coincidental opportunity– her “big wave of summer”– to arrive. As such, this Doppel has an overabundance of free time, and begins swimming around exuberantly as soon as it’s set free. Its offensive techniques are a pure combination of kinetic and potential energy, utilizing the accelerating passion of summer and the overwhelming mass of a lovesick heart to crush its enemies into dust. After the relief that accompanies this momentary expulsion of emotion, the Doppel’s master will most likely continue trying to convince herself that “her ideal opportunity still hasn’t arrived”.

====Magia Exedra====
Oktavia and Holger appear in [[Magia Exedra]]. They appear in the [[Magia Exedra Main Quests|Main Quest]] Mermaid Witch. Holger also appear in the [[Magia Exedra Events|event quest]] Farewell Story Part II.

==In Magia Exedra==
{{Magia Exedra Game Info|character=Oktavia von Seckendorff}}

==Observations==
*Oktavia as a whole is a reference to the Danish fairy tale ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid Den lille havfrue]'', known as ''The Little Mermaid'' in English.
**In ''"The Little Mermaid and the Kind Witch"'' from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 2|''Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 2'']], Kyoko observes how {{Spoiler|Sayaka}} can [[:file:Anthology_2_150.jpg|"neither be with [her] prince, nor return to the sea"]]. The mermaid ({{Spoiler|Sayaka}}) in the original fairy tale makes a deal with the Sea Witch ([[Kyubey]]), in which she trades her voice (soul) to become human so she can be with the prince ({{Spoiler|[[Kyosuke]]}}) she saved from drowning during a storm ({{Spoiler|Sayaka's wish to heal his hand}}). However, the prince marries someone else ({{Spoiler|Hitomi}}), and the mermaid cannot revert to her original aquatic form ({{Spoiler|Sayaka can't return to being human}}) unless she kills him, so she resigns herself to her fate of dissolving into sea foam (becoming a witch). At the end of the story, the mermaid is ultimately saved by transforming into a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylph sylph] and ascending into the sky ({{Spoiler|Sayaka being absorbed into the [[Law of Cycles]]}}).
*[[wikipedia:Karl Siegmund von Seckendorff|Karl Sigmund von Seckendorff]] was a German poet who was inspired by Goethe; he enjoyed composing music for several of his poems before they were even published, and translated ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'' into French. In this story, the titular man is ultimately driven to suicide by his unrequited love, as he is unable to harm or murder others to resolve the love triangle at the source of his despair. However, Goethe thought little of his work.
**He also wrote a book called ''The Wheel of Fate'' (''Das Rad des Schicksals''), and could explain Sayaka's wheel attack.
*Seckendorff was also the name of a [[:file:Close up Sayaka coats of arm and the Seckendorff family coats of arm.png|Frankish knight from a noble family]] .
*Oktavia is the German form of the Latin name ''Octavia'' which means "the eighth" (child, month or musical interval) or "from the family Octavia". It is the direct root of [[Wikipedia:Octave|octave]] in English (an octave being the eight interval of a scale). The name was most likely chosen because of the link between Sayaka and music.
** It might also reflect how her first appearance was in episode eight.
*[[wikipedia:Holger (given name)|Holger]] is a Scandinavian masculine given name derived from the Old Norse name ''Hólmgeirr'', the prefix ''hólmr'' meaning "island", and the suffix ''geirr'' meaning "spear". It is most common amongst Danish people.
*''‘Herr Holger’'' is an old Swedish song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjmq6KI0D_o] performed by the dark folk band [[wikipedia:Garmarna|Garmarna]]. Its central character, Sir Holger, gets beheaded for his crimes and buried, but then turns undead and goes back to his wife to warn her against going to Hell. Yet the lady won't listen to the warning: ''"Go to Hell with your squires, ... And I will follow with my maidens"''.
*[[wikipedia:Holger_Simon_Paulli|Holger Simon Paulli]] was a Danish conductor and composer who contributed to the spread of Richard Wagner's work with his performances of ''Lohengrin'' and ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg''.
*The Movie version has new runes, in it Oktavia's barrier has [[:file:New runes sayaka barrier.jpg|runes that read]], "[[wikipedia:Summis desiderantes affectibus|Desiderantes Affectibus]]": Summis desiderantes affectibus (Latin: ''"Desiring with supreme ardor"'') was a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent VIII on December 5, 1484. The bull was written in response to the request of Dominican Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer for explicit authority to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, after he was refused assistance by the local ecclesiastical authorities. The bull recognized the existence of witches.
**The bull, which synthesized the spiritual and the secular crimes of witchcraft, is often viewed as opening the door for the witch hunts of the early modern period.
*The musical notes on Oktavia's grief seed also resemble crescent moons. They are symbols of femininity and the moon is commonly associated with water, which relates back to Oktavia being a mermaid.
*The pink ribbon around Oktavia's neck may be a reference to the pink ribbons that Madoka wears in the series, representing their deep friendship.
**They could also represent the witch wanting affection and attention as the color pink is normally seen as a color associated with love.
*Oktavia's barrier shows rail tracks (as well as wheels, that may be there for the same reason), which is possibly due to what Sayaka heard from two men in the train right before she turned into a witch.
* In [[Episode 9]] when [[Kyoko]] passes through Sayaka's barrier, it is shown that when Oktavia shouts, a distorted scream is also heard and is known to be Sayaka's voice. This most likely meant Sayaka wanted to express her feelings but she could not because of her broken state. As seen before her transformation to be a witch, she had issues speaking to Kyoko. With her life reaching its end, she could not help herself in the situation.

==Trivia==
*The entrance to her barrier has the sayings ''Love Me Do'' which is, incidentally, a Beatles song.
*In the beginning of episode 9 near the name of the witch, there are floating notes of "Symposium Magarum".
*Oktavia is briefly shown in Kazumi Magica as background when Juubey explains how a magical girl becomes a witch.
*It appears Sayaka Miki is the only magical girl that has been shown to be able to separate from her Witch, as in Rebellion Oktavia fights along Sayaka as a separate being meaning Sayaka no longer has to turn into her.
*Oktavia appears in all timelines in which Sayaka makes a contract.
*The specific runic font used for Oktavia and Holger's cards resembles musical instruments and notation.
*Holger's design in the original TVA used to be a silhouette of the human men, however in the movie their design were drastically changed, more closer to puppets.
*One of the alternate timelines shown in episode 10 gives her barrier a slightly different appearance with familiars that resemble [[Hitomi]]. Some design documents also indicate that [[Puella Magi Production Note#Oktavia von Seckendorff, Timeline 3 Version|Kamijou is a guitarist rather than a violinist]] in the alternate timeline.
*{{spoiler| In [[Madoka Magica Mobage Story The Hollow Little Mermaid|The Hollow Little Mermaid]], an event in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Mobage]], a magical girl named [[Elise (Mobage)]] used her magical girl ability and became Oktavia in exchange for Sayaka reverting back to a magical girl.}}
*[[Charlotte]] and Oktavia are currently the only bosses in Magia Exedra to have two phases in one fight. Both bosses, however, uses their second phase as their basis when fighting in non-Story Mode battles.
** Other bosses with multiple phases, such as [[Walpurgisnacht]], are battled in individual stages instead.
*Klarissas are absent in Magia Exedra as enemies. Likewise, Oktavia was never battled in Magia Record as a boss, only appearing as a Doppel.
*Oktavia is the third Witch to get multiple Portraits in Magia Exedra, after [[Shitori Egumo]] and [[Charlotte]].

Phosfythemeguca: finished a seemingly incomplete spoiler tag

|desc_english= A witch who passionately endeavors to sort out that which has value from that which does not. She apparently stabs stakes into the valueless things, and hands flowers to the valuable things, but it’s extraordinarily rare for anything besides the witch herself to receive a flower. Her standards of arbitration are unclear. Her Labyrinth is filled with light in the colors of the things and people that have been crushed by her stakes.

A Witch devoted to separating the valuable from the worthless. It drives stakes into what it deems worthless and adorns the valuable with flowers, though flowers are rarely bestowed upon anyone but the Witch itself. The criteria for its critiques remains unknown. Its Labyrinth overflows with the colored light left behind by the things and people crushed by its stakes.

==In the Anime==

==Trivia==
* The Witch's type, "Critic", was revealed in the game during the airing of the Episode 12 of the Anime by Doroinu's game profile.
** The term "Critic" is also mentioned in [[Izabel]]'s description, but it is unknown if these two Witches are related to each other, or the description simply telling her weakness by "bringing a critic".
* She and her Familiar are named after [[wikipedia:Golden_Raspberry_Awards|the Golden Raspberry Awards]], also known as "the Razzies" or "the Razzie Awards".
* Her Witch's Kiss in the [[Magia Record Manga]] adaptation is rotated 90 degrees compared to the game version.
* The Witch might be themed after trees, with branches sprouting out of her main shadow hand when she attacks.
** While possibly not intentional, she shares some similarities with Elsa Maria. Both having a completely obscured and shadowy body, and has attacks or body parts linked to plants.
** The branches that sprout out are omitted in [[Magia Exedra]].
* The white arms that holds the stakes are part of the Witch in Magia Record, according to her description, while in [[Magia Exedra]], it is also part of the labyrinth.
* Raspberry's labyrinth has two more floors in Magia Exedra, drastically different than the one seen in Magia Record.
** The first floor is depicted as a colorful flower field (mostly consisting of violet flowers or {{Spoiler|Sumire in japanese}}) under a night sky, with stone statues that greatly resembles to [[Sumire Yoake]], {{Spoiler|which represents Fuka's close friendship to Sumire, someone she swore to protect from Witches.}}, while the depths of the labyrinth depicts a black and white dead forest turned into a desert filled with dry trees.
** The second floor is similar, but the sky is cracked like glass, and Raspberry's white hands stabbing glitched colors with her stakes, which fits her description that her labyrinth is "filled with light in the colors of the things and people that have been crushed by her stakes". There is also a white rectangular hole that leads to the end of the barrier.
** The third floor resembles closer to her deepest floor in [[Magia Record]], being a monochromatic dead forest turned into a desert, with a small square window that leads to her deepest floor.
** The center of her barrier is the same as the third floor, but instead of being monochromatic it has the colors reminiscent from a dusk sky.
** Overall, her barrier resembles the phases from night to sunrise, {{Spoiler|alluding to Fuka and Sumire's surnames (Higure and Yoake) representing "dusk" and "dawn" respectively.}}
* Real life raspberry fruits are of the rose family, {{Spoiler|which may link to Fuka having rose-based accessories.}}
** The medals the witch bears seem to have the shape of white roses, the same flowers Fuka used to fight with. The triangular and rectangular shapes in the witch also seem to make the sillouette of a rose, making it seem as if the witch had a white rose in her palm.
* Like [[Oshiti]] when she was implemented in [[Magia Record]], the Witch in one of Touka Satomi's Lectures and in [[Mel Anna]]'s Magical Girl Story both depicted [[Zenobia]], which was later updated to be Raspberry shortly after she was implemented to the game.
