"In season 1 flashback we see a naïve girl, then she lands on the ground and she's wide open."

I have a few friends who grew up very sheltered. Some of them continue to impose strict and rigid rules on themselves, but the majority of them went a bit wild the first time they tasted freedom and Octavia's actions are reminiscent of this. In fact, one of Octavia's first lines reflects this mentality: "I've been locked up one way or another all my life. I'm done following orders." She quite literally follows through on that promise and does "whatever the hell she wants," whether it's flirting with and kissing cute boys like Finn, Atom, and Jasper or freeing Lincoln or joining the Woods Clan.
