Odette Grace Beechwood

They break and slide apart at a matched pace,
a slow arc that suggests they glide on glass,
until one strikes with sun-shadowing wings
that juggle the air into lift and forward motion as they dance,
with a single swan cloud climbing upon the reddening
beams of approaching twilight.
Amongst the rings of bouncing lake
she is left now, remaining set fast,
a subtle flick-flack of tail that hints her mind state. [/b][/size][/font]

Personality:[/size][/font] Odette is a very trustworthy and loyal person. Even after the spell that was placed on her, she is still rather strong. Even from a young age, her caring and loving nature as it has carried into her becoming queen. She has been known to wonder around the towns of her kingdom and talk to her people. Odette is willing to listen to her people and the people of other kingdoms. She views herself a strong individual and confident about her options.
During her time under the spell placed by Von Rothbart, the evil sorcerer, she had little hope that a man would come to break the spell. Odette would often sit on the bank of the lake, human or swan form and sweep. Even if she’s beyond happy that her love found her, she’s been sensitive emotionally ever since. Along with this, she’s very fearful of evil magic. It’s not uncommon for her to almost freeze in fear for a moment at the mention of such things.
Since she became queen, Odette made it clear that she didn’t like the idea of fighting and war. She would try to avoid those things at all costs. However, if it came down to that, she would help in way that she could to protect her people; mainly by healing the wounded.

History: [/font] Born of Charles and Nicole in the 7th Kingdom, her family lived as farmers. Being the second oldest of five children, she would help her mother raise her younger siblings, cook, clean, garden and other things around the home. For the most part her childhood was like another growing up on a farm. They would all work hard together to bring the crops in to clean and bring to the market place. Odette was taught at a nearby school along with her siblings and had plenty of friends to play with. It wasn’t however until the start of her teen years that things started to change. Like any other teen, she’d go throw the emotional ups and downs, but something more than that happened. By the time that she turned fifteen, it was clear that ground work was being laid out for her to be a very pretty young lady. Her friends and family were not the only ones to take notice in this, so did the evil sorcerer, Von Rothbart. Odette and her family didn’t know that Rothbart was watching, nor did they knew that he was kidnapping beautiful medians.
So one night, while Odette was asleep on her fifteenth birthday, Rothbart took her from her bed. Her parents didn’t know what happened until it was too late. The parents burst into a full out search for Odette, begging their friends to help. They kept on looking, not wanting to give up hope. However, unknown to her family, Odette was in a place was she wasn’t supposed to be found. Deep in the forests of the kingdom, by a lake, is where Odette woke up to find herself. She would look up to find her kidnapper standing over her. He would smile at her, telling her welcome, fair maiden, to your new home. Here, he explained that she was under his spell and wouldn’t be able to leave this lake for long. For by night she would be human but by day she would be turned into a beautiful white swan. That if she left and didn’t return back to that every lake to change back to a swan, then she would die. Odette was shattered by this and begged if there was any way to break the spell. Rothbart would laugh, telling her that the only way was for a man to come a give a vow of eternal love to her and for her to return the same vow. However, he said, if that man were to become unfaithful and break his vow, then she would remain a swan forever.
Soon after that, Rothbart would leave her there at the lake with the other maidens that he kidnapped. For years, she would be held there at the lake, never thinking of leaving in fear of sudden death. The evil man would come every now and again make sure all the woman were still alive and eating food that was given to them. Odette would spend her time singing to herself, and crying in her grief. She missed her family and friends back home but there was nothing that she could do. At first she was hopeful that a man would come for her but it didn’t take long for that hope to die off. Odette thought that she’d be trapped at the lake until her death.
Though, one day when the night was about to fall, she could hear movement in the trees by the lake. It was her twenty first birthday and she waited by the lake until she changed back into a human. With a shiver, thinking that it was the evil man again. When she was able to see a handsome young man with a bow in hand and her heart sank when he had it aimed at her. Right before he was able to make his shot, night came and the water of the lake circled around her. After a few moments, Odette stood on the lake shore in human form and looking at the man before her. The man, overcome in shock by what happened and by her beauty, dropped his bow. He would walk up to her and say that his name was Prince Siegfried Beechwood and that she was the most stunning woman that he’d ever seen. With a rush of relief she would smile and explain to him why she was her and why she was just a swan. Soon after, he would tell his friends, who were standing back to stunned to speak, to go home so he could be alone with Odette.
They would dance together all night long and talk, falling more and more in love with one another. By the time the night was about to end, Siegfried vowed his love for her and would want her to attend a ball at his castle. There, he told her, that he would make her his bride and by doing that would break the spell. However when the day light came, Odette turned back into a swan, and watched Siegfried leave. Unknown to them, Rothbart was watching in on them and started to panic. He knew what would happen if the prince was able to do all that he promised. So he planned on stopping this at whatever means possible. Taking his daughter, Odile, he would use his magic to make her look like Odette and make her attend the ball.
Odile did this the every next night, while Rothbart throw the real Odette into a cell where she couldn’t get out. At the ball, Siegfried only could think about Odette and waited for her to arrive. Sure enough, at least to everyone there, Odette did show up. In seeing Odette, Siegfried was overjoyed and proclaimed a vow to love her forever. However when that happened, Rothbart appeared laughing, showing that Siegfried was tricked into breaking his vow to Odette. Seeing his mistake, Siegfried would race to the lake, hopping that it wasn’t too late.
However when he got back to the lake, Odette laid on the shore in human form and was dead. For as soon as the vow was broken she was turned back to a swan at once. When this happened she knew that Siegfried broke his vow of love to her. In her grief and not willing to live the rest of her life as a swan, she killed herself. Once she was dead the spell was broken and she laid there as a human. Siegfried in his grief, would pick up Odette and walk into the lake, placing her body onto a log. It wasn’t too soon after this that Rothbart returned and mocked Siegfried for not staying true to Odette. This enraged Siegfried and he engaged Rothbart in battle, bend on killing the evil. However, the prince was only able to wound Rothbart badly to the point that he fled.
From there, Siegfried would stay by the lake shore, as his grief took hold of him. After a couple hours passed, he heard something. Siegfried looked up to see that water was circled around the log where Odette laid. The water would circle faster and faster, sparkling with different colored lights until it was almost blinding. When the it all cleared, there Odette laid still but now her eyes where open and looking at him. Over taken with joy he would lung into the water and take Odette in his arms, begging for her to forgive him and to marry him. Almost sobbing Odette forgave Siegfried and would agree to marry him.
Now, two years later, Odette is now queen of the 7th Kingdom alongside Siegfried.

Role-play Example:
She was unsure about the meeting, knowing that they would be talking about. It was hard knowing that Erik was "freely" in the school. She wasn't the only one that this was hard to grasp. Fred kept on pacing in their room for hours, hopping that Erik wouldn't just walk in and demand why he went against him. In that way he was more worried about her, not wanting to get catch up in the storm of all happened when they were younger. She remembered the times when she first got to see Magneto for the first time. It was kinda scary, being pushed into walls by metal and watch Logan almost be pulled apart a few times. If it wasn't for Jean or the professor well....she wasn't sure what would have happened to Logan. Lily had walked into the meeting early, hopping that the finally choosing would be the best the students. She thought of poor Kia, who has been hurt must of his life and now was scared a very one around him. About Lily, Jenny and Nathan, the girls would stand a better chance then Nate. Nathan wasn't a true fighter, not like the girls.
Aprill took her seat and listened at Jean gave her talk on just how Erik was going. It reminded her of her own memory lose. Only this time it didn't sound like Erik would recover and if he did it would take a long time. Aprill was luck that that her memory came back the way that it did. She looked to see that Caesar was already here, of course he was and if it wasn't for him, would her memory be back yet. Her eyes turned back to listen to Jean, not willing to give Caesar much mind. It was still hard to even talk with him anymore, now that he got all the hate for his sister off his chest. Aprill heard what happened to Stevie, and she knew that that greatly upset Caesar. But she wasn't going to talk to him about it, there was no point to. She knew that he'd give the same talk as before but the fact was in the case of Stevie that a lot has happened to the poor girl. They way her emotional state wasn't fully Embers fault and even Stevie has said that it wasn't her fault.
Soon the talk about Erik's condition and then she listened to what to professor had to say. It has been a while since the last time that she was seen him. He was getting up there and years, she knew that well, but he was like a second father to her. Charles was there the whole way with first finding about Fenix being her sister and trying to get Fred to come live at the school. A chill ran throw her at the mention of Alice, to Aprill both her sister and Erik were harmless compared to her. But the thought of having her at the school, that almost made Aprill jump out of her seat. Lily pushed that thought back, and all the sudden fear that built inside her. Now she was thinking about the students that she held dear, thinking about what could happen to them if Alice walked the halls. She was especially worried about Kia, he didn't need anymore pain in his life.
The professor said what was on his mind and once he gave the floor to the teachers, Caesar talked first. She sighed, already getting the feeling that there was speech on the way. He talked about all the basics, of how they should be worried about the students with their fear of Erik. About how they should be worried about the Brotherhood and government would want to get there hands on Erik. Lily sighed when he talked about teaching the kids why Erik did what he did, what he stood for to make his choices. Soon Caesar was done and he made the comment that he didn't know who Alice was.
"Alice, my dear friend, is way worse then my sister or Erik." She started to say, not wanting to show her fear. "She's a psychopath who tortures and kills for pleasure, and has attacked many members of this school for fun. She likes to torture them psychologically and watch them squirm." Lily couldn't help but look right at Caesar. "If you think that my sister Fenix is a complete psychopath, then your a little off. If she wanted any of the students she's attacked dead then they would be. She and Erik are harmless compared to what Alice could do to you." She looked around the room, hopping that this was a joke. "Alice really isn't here is she. That's a threat to all of us, especially the students. A very good part of these students have never come across someone that dangerous before."
Taking in a deep breath she stopped talking about Alice, fearing that if speaking her name to much would make her appear. "As for Erik," Aprill started with her thoughts. "In the state that he's in, he's no real threat to us. I think by now that most of the students wont go near to, so them saying to break back memory won't be a big problem. As for the students themselves, well their nervous about this, just as much as we are. But I don't know if telling the students why he did what he did would give him any grace. If I were in the students shoes, I wouldn't suddenly be best friends with Erik because he based he choices to have war on what happened to him as a child."
"I think other then not letting him wonder to far from the school, we should be worried about Brotherhood member above all else trying to get him. The last thing that we want is to have a small group of Brotherhood trying to get in here and hurting the students." Aprill finished off for the moment, sitting back in her chair with a heavy breath, still not okay with Alice.
