Personality:
Odessa is a bit of the quiet type. It's not unknown for her to try to disappear into the background in any social gathering. Despite this she is naturally curious which tends to lead her into engagements that she usually wouldn't pursue herself. She is very intelligent, and most days someone can find her with her nose stuck in a good book, often daydreaming of how things could be.

History:
Odessa grew up in a small home with just her and her mother. It was a small family, but it was home. She and her mother were very close, always leaning on each other for support. However, at a young age, Odessa's mother became very sick. So Odessa learned how to do everything she could to keep the house running, food, cleaning, laundry. She rarely had time to just be a child, but to see her mother smile she'd do it all over again.
Even though it was something she had been expecting for a long time, it came as gut-wrenching when her mother finally did pass. For days, Odessa hadn't known what to do. Everything had blurred together and she felt extremely lost. She remembered a woman coming, someone, she had met only a handful of times. She knew this woman was her mother's sister, she could tell it in the way she walked, and in her expressions. Her aunt took Odessa home with her. It was there that she had met her cousins for the first time, and that had almost made her able to remember what happiness felt like. However, every time she looked at her aunt.. she would leave the room, she knew then that the woman was grieving as much as she was.
She felt a strange sense of sadness that her aunt would never allow her to get close to her. It was then for that reason that Odessa had decided to go to the Academy. Perhaps it was best to get a new start, and not live in a reminder of things she had lost. For the first time, it was something that she and her aunt actually agreed on. So, her aunt made the arrangements, promising to pay for the tuition as long as Odessa kept up her grades.
