}}'''Octobriana''', sometimes  known as '''N. Pacenikov''', was an immortal avenger who travelled in Time and Space in the [[Wonder Machine]]. The self-proclaimed “'''Spirit of the October Revolution'''”, hence her name, Octobriana was a communist hero who would often fight against the corruption and tyranny of allegedly communist regimes in the Cold War. Several versions of Octobriana across the [[Multiverse]] were familiar with [[Jenny Everywhere]], who generally considered her a friend.

==Description==

Octobriana usually appeared as a tall, athletic woman with big hair and a distinctive tattoo of a star on her forehead.

([[VIDEO]]: ''[[Legacy of the Masque (video story)|Legacy of the Masque]]'')

===Personality===

Octobriana was immovable and confident in her beliefs; many of her origins involved her preferring to be exiled from everything she held dear than continue to be complicit in a corrupt system. She was, according to [[the Bartender]], prone to getting into fights. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

== Biography ==

=== As N. Pacenikov ===

One version of Octobriana was also known by the more conventional name of “N. Pacenikov”. She was listed, under both her legal name and the “Octobriana” alias, as an associate of [[Jenny Everywhere]] on a wanted poster put out for Jenny across her incarnations by an alliance of various organisations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wanted for Questioning (short story)|Wanted for Questioning]]'')

=== With Glendalf and Jenny ===

In the [[Collapsed Cosmos]], [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Glendalf]] reminisced about an adventure during which they had besieged the [[Tower of Zirma]] with Octobriana. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere (novel)|The Hermetic Garbage of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

=== With the League of Liberation ===

At some point in a universe before the [[Collapsed Cosmos|collapse of the Multiverse]], Octobriana was a member of the [[League of Liberation]] alongside [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Glendalf]], the [[Magician from Mars]], and several other heroes including [[Butterfly]], [[Ace Harlem]], [[Trashman]] and [[Madam Fatal]]. This venture ended badly, however, with the tragic death of Trashman, which impacted Octobriana so deeply that her [[#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Collapsed Cosmos counterpart]] temporarily swore off adventuring altogether due to overbearing memories of the event.

This Octobriana was a tall fair-skinned woman with blond hair; she wore blood-red lipstick. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[Legacy of the Masque (video story)|Legacy of the Masque]]'')

=== Mission Doppleganger ===

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The New Mission (short story)|The New Mission]]'')]]In [[Universe (The New Mission)|one universe]], Octobriana was a dark-skinned woman with light brown hair. She was active during the [[World War II|Second World War]] as a top [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] agent. After the planet [[Doppleganger]] unexpectedly appeared in the solar system, America and Russia came to an agreement for a joint space reconnaissance mission that would beat [[Germany]] to the potential prize, and ascertain whether there was any life on Doppleganger (and, if so, if it was hostile). Octobriana was sent as the Soviet representative while spy-smashing superhero [[Miss Victory]] acted as the American representative. Also on the team was [[Jenny Everywhere#Mission Doppleganger|Jenny Everywhere]]. The two were seen off by the mechanic [[Neeta#Mission Doppleganger|Neeta]] as they left for space. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The New Mission (short story)|The New Mission]]'')

=== In the Collapsed Cosmos ===

A version of Octobriana existed in the [[Collapsed Cosmos]]. She was “tall, muscular”, with “majestic” silver hair in a ponytail; “beautiful in the way a mountain [is] beautiful”. She wore cut-off jean shorts and a ripped T-shirt saying “TRANS RAGE”, and as well as bearing her usual tattoo of a red star on her forehead. With the [[Wonder Machine]] being damaged, she took refuge, like many legendary heroes and entities, at the [[Red Lion Inn]]; there, she got into a fight with [[Skadi#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Skadi]] that almost destroyed the bar. With [[the Bartender]] deciding not to cross her despite these transgressions, she was still there when [[Jenny Everywhere#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Glendalf#In the Collapsed Cosmos|Glendalf]] entered the Inn, fleeing from the [[Wild Hunt]].
