✓►CHARACTER◄
Name: Odile Cygnus Advaire
Nicknames: Hel, Odile the Overlord, Ax Girl
Date of birth/age: 10- 22-1994/ 18 (tends to look about 15 or 16)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Functionally asexual and aromantic
Job: Dancer at the Miami City Ballet
Degrees/Permits: None (not that she lets that stop her)
Languages Spoken: English, French, Russian, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Faroese and the closest she can manage to Old Norse (The last five all came about due to her obsessive devotion to Norse mythology.)
Human or shifter: Shifter
Appearance:
PB: Isabelle Fuhrman
Small (very small, only 4’ 9”) and 80 pounds of solid muscle. Black hair that’s usually kept up in a bun, or if she’s feeling particularly evil, a pair of pigtails. Dark blue eyes, generally narrowed in a glare, an almost perpetually blank expression and skin that is still inexplicably pale despite the sun.
Also worthy of mention is the fact that by and large, she sounds... like a robot. She's trained her voice out of any hint of accent (of any description) and she almost always speaks in a soft, chill monotone. This is coupled with a largely blank face and a certain lack of blinking, leaves a rather eerie impression.
Personality: Odile is very much the black sheep in her family. Although not in the way most people think of the term.
While everyone in the family is driven to succeed, Odile takes it just that much further. In a family full of intense, type- A personalities, Odile stands out as the most intense and so type A the letter is bolded, underlined and put in 72 point font.
She is the family's greatest success (Going away to train at a famous ballet school in Russia at a young age) and their darkest shadow, considering they're all convinced that if she isn't a serial killer already, she will be one soon. This is aided by the fact that she’s got a love of large, bladed weapons and the knowledge that she has… plans.
Odile isn't a serial killer though. She's just driven to the point where she's something of a ballet dancing robot. Most of her responses are a bit... off. And while you might never know she's angry with you, she will be actively plotting ways to make you suffer.
But buried deep, deep inside there is...
More drive. More need for power. Odile isn't soft. If she puts her mind to something, she accomplishes it, or she'll die trying.
Strengths: ~Ballet. Odile is an amazing ballerina. She takes full advantage of her new preternatural strength to push herself to be the best, and is able to do things most human ballerinas can’t because of this.
~Determined: If Odile wants something, she’s going to do her best to find a way to get it. It’s hard to sway her from her chosen course and when she sets a goal, she does everything in her power to accomplish it.
~Self-confidence. Odile knows she's smart, she knows she's an amazing ballet dancer and she has utter confidence in her ability to accomplish anything she puts her mind to.
~Self-Discipline. Odile has discipline you could bend steel around, and if she puts her mind to something, very little can dissuade her from the path. She will work through pain, exhaustion and hunger if she has to, without complaining.
~Strong. Like most ballerinas, Odile is strong for her size, even for a were. The constant exercise has given her a lot of muscle, and she has a kick like a mule crossed with a hydraulic piston.
~Fearless. Odile views fear as weakness and she does not tolerate weakness in herself. When something happens, Odile doesn't get scared. She gets mad
~Intelligent. While the large gaps in her knowledge might indicate otherwise, Odile's smart. While she doesn't usually use her brains, if she has a reason to, she can come up with some pretty impressive things.
Weaknesses: ~Vanity. Not about her appearance. But about her talent as a ballerina (She is absolutely certain she is /destined/ to be the best in the world and will work herself to death to get there)
~Opinionated. Odile has her opinions, and she’ll stick by them, unless proven utterly and completely /wrong/. She is the best. Period.
~ Very bad at Sharing. If Odile considers something hers, it is /hers/ and unless she says you can touch it, you can't touch it without getting her angry. Sometimes these things happen to be people, which is when this problem can be a bit sticky. She’s not a stalker, but she /can/ have the tendency to get overly protective of those close to her, and there are very, very few within that circle.
~ Temper. Odile has a nasty temper, but she doesn't always let it show. While she's prone to hot flashes of temper and yelling, it's when she's smiling sweetly at you that she's the angriest.
~No outside skills. Outside of the world of ballet, Odile is lost. She can't cook, can't clean, can't sew more than it takes to make her pointe shoes.
~ Odile, like many dancers, is /extremely/ competitive. If she doesn’t consider a fellow dancer a threat, she ignores them. But if she does consider them a threat, they better watch out. Because she will be the best and she doesn’t care who she has to crush to get there.
~Stupidity. While Odile might be smart, when it comes to things she should be afraid of, she really isn't. She charges across the line between bravery and stupidity with reckless abandon and she's lucky it hasn't gotten her killed yet.
~Unpleasant. A thousand yard stare, a generally rather dour expression and a sharp tongue all combine to make Odile a person other people aren't usually happy to spend time with.
~Her sister. While Odile might have a sort of low level simmering hatred for most of humanity, she adores her sister Odette and can be almost psychotically protective of her at times.
History: Odile Cygnus Advaire was born in Abbotsbury on a perfectly normal day in Dorset.
As far as her parents were concerned, she had a normal childhood. The fourth of six children in a ballet obsessed family, Odile started her training at a very young age. While she grew up surrounded by a large and loving family, she never really connected with anyone, much preferring to focus on her dancing.
Odile pushed herself hard, and was noticeably better than her siblings and cousins. At the age of 10, her mother, who was from Russia, managed to get her an audition to attend the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. To everyone's surprise, except her own, she got in.
There, she cut most ties with her family, pushing herself to be the absolute best. At the age of 11, she contracted Versi. Unwilling to let anything get in the way of her plans, she decided to take it as a gift rather than a curse and set about outshining the human ballerinas around her. By 16 she’d made a name for herself in Russia, but that accomplishment didn’t assuage her ambition, it only pushed it harder. After exchanging a number of letters with the only member of the family she can stand, her older sister, she decided that Odette clearly needed assistance in running her life, and so moved to Miami.
✓►SHIFTER◄
Species: Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)
Group: Birds
Conservation status: Least Concern
Appearance:
Abilities: Odile’s managed to get rather lucky in terms of her new abilities. She’s had a somewhat significant increase in strength and speed, and increased eyesight. Sharper and stronger fingernails and a pretty nifty upgrade to her reflexes go along with a few bird like mannerisms, mostly a habit of cocking her head to the side... and chilling out once the sun goes down.
