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.
Observations and 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.
- Oktavia is a german name derived from the word "Oktave", which translates to octave. This is yet another link between Sayaka and music.
Speculations
- 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.
- It may though just be a transformed ribbon of Sayaka's school uniform.
- Similarities with the myth of Orion :
- "Orion was the son of the sea-god Poseidon" - the reason for Sayaka's(Octavia's) fish form .
- "Odysseus sees him hunting in the underworld with a bronze club" - first time we've seen Sayaka in a barrier(underworld) , she carried a golden(bronze) bat .
- "he hunted with the goddess Artemis and her mother Leto"- she hunted with Mami and Madoka
- "threatened to kill every beast on Earth"- kill every witch on Earth
- "Mother Earth objected and sent a giant scorpion to kill Orion" - Kyouko appears , Kyouko's spear could refer to the scorpions spear(tail).
- "The creature succeeded, and after his death, the goddesses asked Zeus to place Orion among the constellations. Zeus consented and, as a memorial to the hero's death, added the Scorpion to the heavens as well"- After they died Sayaka's grief seed and Kyouko's soulgem turned into raw energy used to fuel the universe ( as explained by Kyuubey in episode 9 )they literally among the stars now.
