Octavia appears in Inspiration Manifestation, switched from S04E16 Unnamed Earth Stallion #2 by a cursed Rarity during a filly's birthday party. Octavia appears briefly in Sweet and Elite in the garden party scene, playing with a mostly different musical ensemble. The show's director, Jayson Thiessen, figures the instrument is a cello as it's "more sophisticated and appropriate for the gala." Meghan McCarthy has indirectly referred to Octavia's role in Inspiration Manifestation as "cello playing." William Anderson, the show's composer, has relayed to Equestria Daily that the music playing at the garden party in Sweet and Elite features a harp, two violins, and a cello, which pegs Octavia as a cellist. While the show does not specifically identify Octavia Melody's instrument, cards state that it is a cello. The name "Octavia" likely refers to the musical concept of octaves, whereas "Melody" refers to the term of the same name. She is first referred to by name in the season nine episode A Horse Shoe-In. The origin of the name "Octavia" is attributed to both Alex McG in a comment on May 7, 2011, and a Blogger commenter going by the nickname "Octavia." This fan-given name was officially adopted in Enterplay's cards and in Gameloft's mobile game each in 2012 and used in one of Little, Brown's chapter books, being expanded to "Octavia Melody" in Hasbro's toy line and in Funko's vinyl figure line each in 2013. Octavia Melody shares her design and cutie mark with Fiddly Twang, her design with " Spring Harvest", and her eye design with Rarity, the spa ponies, and several background ponies, except for the iris.
