eh, she is 17, just wave it away as it being a phase
a 17yo teen cannot decide that she will completely write off sex for the rest of her life, shes too young
i think the ”im asexual” thing is just a coping mechanism, she saw the kind of trouble sexuality brought to her family, sexual incompatibility is the root cause of her parents issues, so she might have been a bit marked by it
she might be a bit less sexual, of course, but she would still enjoy it with someone she loves, which would render the ace part of her character null and void
just because shes not a nympho it doesnt mean shes a sexless eunuch or something, sexual desire is a normal part of any creature, true asexuals are literally mentally defective, and octavia doesnt strike me as such
