Personality: hen someone first meets Odette, she comes off as serious and a little reserved. Around strangers and those that she’s only just getting to know, Odette is more then a little stiff, choosing to hold that someone, or many someone’s, at arm’s length more often then not. Most would be acquaintances or friends are simply put off by this and end up labeling Odette as an ice queen or simply stuck up. While the truth could not be further away from this, Odette’s nature and personal fears get in the way of her changing their minds.
If one is able to endure Odette’s initial standoffishness however, they will very slowly find that there is more this young woman then her serious expressions and the habit that she has of speaking too formally. For one thing, they’ll find that Odette has a very warm and compassionate personality. She truly cares for those that she counts as friends, and is often the listening ear or the shoulder to cry on when they have to let their problems out. She knows that she is not the best at giving out advice and so just makes time to be there for her friends when they need her. Another thing to discover about Odette is that she is very loyal. She will stand by those that she counts as friends no matter what the cost, and will stick up for them if she hears anyone saying anything that she doesn’t’t like about them. She is not one for petty rivalries and jealousies and is almost always the first party to apologize if there is some sort of misunderstanding.
Unfortunately this means that with friends Odette is a push over. She realizes that it is hard for her to make friends and what happens is that she clings to the ones that she already has. At the heart, Odette is an insecure girl (this is the reason why she is reserved around strangers in the first place) and is afraid that if she were to speak up and tell her friends that she isn’t comfortable doing this or that that they will leave and cease to be her friends.
History: Hilda Brown was a girl with a dream. She was also an artist and while most would simply roll their eyes and remark upon how artists moved from one dream to the next without much thought, Hilda was a different type of dreamer altogether. She was determined to make it big, to one day have her work displayed in all the glitzy galleries of her native New York, but such things weren’t easy. She was one of many new and eager artists and had yet to find something that would make her stand out from all the rest. Gallery owners often turned her away saying that her watercolors were too flat or her sculptures too dull but Hilda refused to give up. She would randomly sign up for art classes to improve on her trade and one day signed up for a class which would involve sculpting with metal.
And that was were she met Hephaestus, though he wasn’t going by his real name at that time. She knew him by the name Hector though and the pair hit it off. They shared an amazing chemistry and it was only augmented by the fact that they both had a talent with metal working. Of course Hector was better then her by leaps and bounds but he seemed very impressed with Hilda’s work and that only endeared him to her. Their relationship lasted for about four months and just as quickly as he had stepped into her life, Hector stepped out of it. However he left something behind and nine months later Odette was born. It was a time of double celebration for Hilda, since then she was very successful in selling the pieces that she created and had saved up more then enough money to support her newborn daughter.
Aside from her mother falling in love again, this time to mortal who owned a small art gallery, Odette’s early life was rather uneventful. Growing up she was always drawn to her mother’s work, though Odette’s interest lay more in the making and designing of jewelry then the heavy and masculine pieces that her mother produced. It was ironic but this daughter of Hephaestus was a girly girl. Speaking of Hephaestus though, he showed up again when Odette was eleven. Her step-father didn’t take very kindly to her mother’s old flame showing up and revealing himself to be a god, but Hephaestus didn’t pay much attention to him. He wanted to see Odette and to tell Hilda that their daughter should be sent to camp half blood for training and for her own safety. At first Odette did not want to go, the thought of leaving her family and living amongst strangers for an entire summer turned her stomach. However, her mother was pregnant and the thought of a monster attacking her family because of her scared her even more. And so a year later, after her twelfth birthday, Odette was sent to camp half blood. Since then she has managed to make some friends but has mostly stuck to the company of her half brothers and sisters.
