Octavia is a companion in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. She is a chaotic good half-elf trained to be a wizard who is also a self-trained rogue.
Biography
Octavia was formerly a slave of Numeria's Technic League, a past she shares with her lover Regongar, who she has been with for most of her life in bondage. She follows the goddess Calistria.
Octavia was sold to the Technic League as a young child. She has few memories of the time before her enslavement, most vividly remembering the color of her mother's dress and that her mother was crying when selling her. As a slave of the Technic League she was trained as a wizard and taught a variety of utility spells to allow her to perform useful tasks - a unique skillset which was responsible for her masters' unwillingness to kill or permanently harm her when she acted out of line. As an expression of resistance, Octavia would pretend to be stupid and unable to learn what her masters attempted to teach her, frustrating their attempts to impose their will on her. She was frequently sold to new masters when her old master became too frustrated with her behavior to continue tolerating her.
At some point during her enslavement, she met Regongar and became close to him. Regongar shared her dreams of freedom and intense will to resist the Technic League slave masters. Along with Regongar, she attempted many time to escape Numeria and reach the River Kingdoms, where slavery is illegal. Some attempts were quickly cut short, but other times they managed to evade pursuers for months and came very close to reaching sanctuary.
Shortly before the events of the game, she and Regongar were brought to the Stolen Lands by a group of Technic League agents serving her then-current master, Maestro Janush.
Interactions
Octavia is one of the three new companions to recruit in the first chapter. You meet her and Regongar tied up at the Technic League Encampment during the Hand of the Technic League quest. She can join your party after the battle (together with Regongar). Since the beginning of chapter 2 she chills in the company of Regongar to the north of the capital square's merchants. Can be romanced alone or together with Regongar. Completing her personal quests can shift her alignment.

Role in the party
Taking a level of rogue is generally a waste for a wizard (and vice versa). In this case it's a hint that you should train Octavia as an Arcane Trickster (taking Accomplished Sneak Attacker feat and 2 levels of wizard you can start from level 5). This way Octavia will be able to cast as level 19 wizard, do devastating damage with rays by sneak attack (due to ruling in 
Pathfinder: Kingmaker), apply sneak attack damage to any spell (like Fireball) with Impromptu Sneak Attack and Surprise Spells, and do decent damage every round without expending spells at all (her cantrip Acid Splash adds sneak attack damage, ignores spell resistance and doesn't allow saving through). On top of that Octavia is the best gal to pull Dexterity-based skill checks until you let Nok-Nok in the party (and arguably is the best lock picker, period). Also she has cheerful and playful personality, unless exhausted.
