While her passion is in the orchestra, Octavia has had to take on a second job as of late to pay the bills. This resulted in her working for the sadistic Upper Crust, who has become so infatuated with disciplining the earth mare that she goes out of her way to find reasons to do so. Octavia stopped complaining about it when she saw the pay raise she was getting for it, but it still hurts getting her fanny whacked everyday. Thankfully her wife uses healing magic on it every night.
