MENTAL DESCRIPTION
Octavian is intelligent,observant and usually calm under pressure.He is naturally a nervous person but has become very good at hiding it. He tries hard to be outgoing and friendly mostly because he spent so much of his childhood alone.
He is extremely nostalgic and tends to think about the past more than most people his age. While he can come across as distant or cold he is actually very loyal and caring toward the people and animals he loves. He often overthinks situations and prefers to keep his problems to himself rather than ask for help.
Animals have always been easier for him to understand than people.

BACKSTORY
Octavian Taylor grew up as an only child in a wealthy but emotionally distant household.His father Samuel Taylor worked as a model and spent most of his life traveling while his mother Lilith Taylor is a fashion designer who primarily lives and works in Paris. Because both of his parents were often busy with their own careers Octavian was raised more by a rotating cast of nannies,tutors and house staff than by his actual family.
When Octavian was younger he had a weak immune system and was frequently ill which gave his parents another reason to keep him isolated. He was rarely allowed outside and even simple things like visiting a park or meeting other children were treated as unnecessary risks. He spent much of his early childhood looking out through windows watching other people live lives that felt far away from him. Even after his health improved his parents never truly relaxed their rules and the habits of confinement remained long after the original reason for them had passed.
Because he was lonely Octavian became attached to small routines and quiet comforts. He learned to read early and devoured books about animals, history and places he had never been allowed to see. He also developed a habit of collecting little things that reminded him of moments he wanted to keep: feathers, pressed flowers, ticket stubs, smooth stones, and scraps of paper covered in notes. These became his way of holding onto the world when so much of it felt out of reach.
Most of the affection he received came from caretakers rather than his parents and even that was often practical rather than warm. He became very good at appearing agreeable even when he was unhappy because it was easier than arguing with adults who rarely listened.
As he got older Octavian began to resent how controlled his life was. He disliked being dressed, spoken for, and planned around as though he were another expensive possession in the house. Dyeing his naturally black hair white became one of the first choices he ever made entirely for himself and he did it partly out of rebellion and partly because he wanted to look like someone his parents would never have chosen. It was a small act but it made him feel like his own person for the first time.

FIRST INSTANCE OF MAGIC
Octavian was nine years old when he first performed accidental magic.
While outside with one of his caretakers he noticed a baby bird that had fallen from its nest. Ignoring instructions he climbed a nearby tree to rescue it.
On the way back down, he slipped.
Instead of hitting the ground he suddenly stopped in midair and slowly floated down safely still holding the bird.When he told his caretakers what had happened none of them believed him
