Ottavia was born under the astrological sun sign of Cancer. Although she is a Cancer in the horoscope, she really doesn't possess any usual traits of the Cancer sign.

As a young girl, she began to train martial arts in Italy. Instead of being a ball of range and anger, she wanted to channel her energy into being a calm and balanced person.

In her teenage years, she was a groupie of a musical band called Ireland. Ottavia relied on music and martial arts to carry her through her teenage years. Growing in Italy was filled with obstacles for a young woman but she found strength in martial arts.
