Octavia was brutal. As a tiny girl she didn’t fight people so much as out-psycho them.
The other women in that show, outside of Raven and Emori were a bit ridiculous, but the raven and emori characters were strong women because they didn’t attempt to be strong men.
They suffered like no others. Sad tale.
Right - Blood Raina slew 20 huge heavily armed warriors in less than 15 seconds - totally ridiculous.
