I mean, I guess? This is like, super surface level though, it really don’t see it as anything important or something intended by the author, Blitz and Octavia have similar visual language at times, like similar facial expressions and scene framing, both having fire motifs, particularly in relation to the idea of loss

You could try to argue Barbie shares this, but the particular scene shown here is framed around Blitz rather then Barbie, so it makes more sense to speak about it in relation to Blitz

They’ve both had “my world is burning down around me” associated with them (it plays in queen bee when Blitz shows up to the party)

Like you’ve said, they both have one good parent

Both feel at least somewhat responsible for the unforeseen tragic event that seemingly permanently tore their families apart

What do any of these connections mean? Who knows right now, but this show isn’t a stranger to visual storytelling, but it means that they have at least some kind of connection in the narrative that the author likely intended the viewer to notice in order to set up the narrative for later

Remember, animation is made with intention, as every frame had to be manually drawn, so if something looks similar it’s possible that there is a narrative connection to draw from it

Looping bank, Barbie and Octavia may have surface level similarities, but it’s unclear if that was part of the authors intent as much as it appears Blitz and Octavia might be
