Oktavia von Seckendorff

Oktavia von Seckendorff (OKTAVIA VON SECKENDORFF) is a witch that was Sayaka Miki. She briefly appears at the end of Episode 8 and battles with Kyouko Sakura in Episode 9. Her Labyrinth is filled with calls for attention -- probably to Kyousuke Kamijou. Initially, the outer areas of her Labyrinth are filled with train tracks, perhaps a reflection of the train station where she became a witch. Later on, the entrance area becomes a long corridor filled with concert posters. The center of the Labyrinth appears to be a distorted concert hall, where the seats fill the domed ceiling. Her weapons appear to be manifested wheels, and the concert hall is populated with a spectral string orchestra -- including a concert master who resembles Kyousuke.

Facts

• Sayaka's witch name is Oktavia von Seckendorff. Karl Siegmund von Seckendorff was a german poet who wrote a book called "The Wheel of Fate" (Das Rad des Schicksals), and could explain Sayaka's wheel attack.

Speculah & Observations

• The runic font doesn't seem to exist in the "real world." Ergo, the strange posters that bear runic text in Episode 8 may have been a "telltale sign" of the beginning of Sayaka's Labyrinth manifestation.
• The pink ribbon is a sign of attraction, since Madoka's mother mentioned in ep 1 that wearing a pink ribbon would attract attention.
