- A few outfits, including some of her lolita coords.
- A laptop (probably has a good two hours charged up)
- A cell phone
- A Nintendo Switch
- A My Melody plushie
- A small sewing kit
- Rose gold plated glock, with the Toreador crest engraved on the side
- A pink bladed katana
- Green - For Odette, green is akin to the color of life. The grass underneath her feet, the colors of leaves on trees, the stems of flowers growing in the spring. To her, green is beautiful. But as a vampire, it's difficult for her to appreciate the sights of spring greenery in the same way she once did. For at nighttime, the colors become muted and are more difficult to see than in daylight. So she cherishes the color wheel of spring and commits it to memory, because she doesn't know when she'd be able to see the world in the same light again.
- Dead - Well, Odette is dead, after all. No matter how much effort she puts in to maintaining her cute and youthful appearance. It can be unnerving to her at times, being reminded that she lacks a pulse, or doesn't need to breathe as she once did. That her inhumanity grows with each passing day, like a ticking clock. Even if she is stronger, faster, and could charm anyone she pleased with her supernatural allure, there is no reversing her decision to become a creature of the night. She will forever be an outsider to the living, whether she likes it or not.
- Dance - Odette has a complicated relationship with dancing. At times, the mere act can be an escape from the world. Gliding across the floor in graceful movements that make her feel like a beautiful swan swimming against the lake. At other times, it can be a reminder of the life her mother wanted for her. A prison of sorts, like shackles connected to her ankles, of tireless days spent with her ballet troupe. Even her very name is a reference to a ballet. It's an inescapable, horrifying nightmare at times. Even if there are otherwise days she find pleasure in her craft.
- Pride - Is pride a fault of a virtue? For Odette, this is a never ending question. She would often recall how her mother would parade her around like a little doll. A malleable clay for her to mold as she wished, and would often boast about her to her friends. Her mother's pride in Odette was something, she'd consider, could've almost killed her, as she learned how to maintain an eating disorder. But to contrast, Odette is learning how to take pride in herself. Not as an extension as her mother's ambitions, but as her own person. Her ability to adapt and persevere, to march on in spite of all the trauma. To Odette, pride is a double edged sword.
- Sin - To Odette, the most pertinent sin is to her is the 'diablerie'. In vampire terminology, this means to consume the soul of another vampire into oneself, and often considered one of the greatest crimes in vampire society. Though Odette, herself, would be considered guilty of this, the context in which she daiblerized Val was while her domain was at war with the Sabbat, and the Baron of San Antonio saw little issue with her doing so. This is not to say Odette hasn't come to regret the act, however. Odette shares her brainspace with Val, can see her memories, and even has to fight to keep her influence at bay. Considering Val is more brazen and violent than Odette, this has become something of a problem whenever Odette is threatened or provoked, and even whenever she needs to feed. Odette is rather pacifistic and prefers deescalation to fighting, whereas Val would be happy to kill her enemies or drain a mortal dry. It's always a push/pull with Val, to which Odette is constantly having to self-police.
- Flower - Odette belongs to the clan Toreador, often referred to as "Clan of the Rose." They have a penchant for embracing those who are beautiful or skilled at some sort of art, and Odette happened to tick both those boxes. She's always been quite tall for a girl, with long hair and glittering green eyes. She's often been told that her ability in ballet feels nearly effortless, like a rose in bloom. Gorgeous, but fragile. Additionally, she is quite skilled in sewing (particularly, lolita fashion) and painting. Of course, now that she's a vampire, Odette no longer has to worry about the fragility of her beauty, being completely accepted by those among the 'rose garden.'
- Cow - This is such a loaded term for Odette. 'Kine' is frequently used among other vampires to refer to humans, to the point it causes her to physically recoil, much like a sour feeling in her gut. She detests hearing it used, and often is forced to hold her temper. She's of the mind that, even as a vampire, your brain doesn't change overnight. That all vampires were humans once, and that they deserve more respect than to be treated as tools and food. She has asked those in her coterie that if she starts using the term, that she'd prefer to be killed at the hands of a friend, than to become a completely inhuman monster. And of course, they would expect the same of her.

- Information on Vampire the Masquerade
- Information on Odette's clan, the Toreadors
CANON POINT: After being banished from San Antonio.
CRAU INFO: N/A
SUITABILITY: Since her embrace as a vampire, Odette has faced many challenges. The most pertinent of which being an open rebellion from the Sabbat (a vampire religious cult that worships the first vampire, Cain) as a challenge against the Anarch domain's power. As a vampire, she is stronger and faster than ordinary humans, possessing a supernatural allure that allows her to persuade most mortals (and even some vampires.)

✚ Cheerful
✖ Impulsive
✖ Low self-esteem
✖ Forgiving (to a fault)

PERSONALITY REFERENCE: N/A
POWERS & SKILLS: There's an exhaustive list in her journal
NERFED POWERS:
Vampiric immortality - Vampirism gives her access to a rapid healing effect, and I figure this should be fine for the most part, except in the event she is decapitated, or her body is fully crushed.
Dominate - Given this discipline deals directly with mind control, this ability will be discarded entirely.
Presence - I'm... not entirely certain what your call here would be, given that it's mostly a passive skill used to influence the emotions of others (chiefly, in drawing attention to herself,) but it's not outright control over someone's thoughts or feelings. I'm thinking it should be okay, but if you'd like me to discard it, I'm more than willing.
Potence - Basically, super strength. This should be fine for the most part, but I'm assuming her ability to rip off limbs would be a no go.
Auspex - This mostly pertains to supernatural awareness (mind reading, protecting her thoughts.) I didn't see anything about future sight/premonitions, but if you'd like me to discard that, I can!Alternatively, y'all could give her super trippy incomprehensible visions that leave her mostly confused.
PERSONAL ITEM: A glock with rose gold plating and the Toreador crest engraved on the side.

Considering the links above, I'm going to use this section mostly to expand on Odette's character history, as opposed to focusing on the "like our world, BUT WITH VAMPIRES" edgelord mechanics of VtM (cw: homophobia, disordered eating):
Odette exists in something of a liminal space. She was born to a life of privilege to a minor noble family in Britain. Her childhood was filled with private tutors and boarding schools, extensive ballet and piano lessons, attending elite boarding schools, being assigned a personal maid, and so-on. She had the wealth to pursue her personal interests, like sewing cosplay or teaching herself Japanese.
But that doesn't mean her life was entirely comfortable. Around the age of ten, her family had moved to San Antonio for her father to pursue a lucrative deal in the oil industry, becoming a tremulous period in her life. Her father was something of a negligent figure, often buried in his work, and leaving her in the care of her abusive mother. Her mother became obsessed with advancing Odette's talents in ballet, such to a point she would harshly restrict her diet throughout the performance seasons, and making her subsist on a meager plate of vegetables or powdered shakes and water, eventually leading Odette to spend numerous visits in and out of hospitals to treat her disorder.
This extended to her mental health as a adolescent teenager, as she started to more deeply explore her sexuality. Knowing her mother's more conservative views, she became antsy about exposing any aspect of her personal life. Briefly entering a same sex relationship with a girl named Cari, who helped her develop a better understanding of leftist politics, all the while perpetuating a lack of interest in relationships around her parents so they wouldn't examine any of her friendships as anything more intimate, and throwing herself into her ballet.
Fed up with the lack of progression in the relationship, Cari decided to part ways with Odette, leaving her to feel alone and confused about her place in the world. Soon after, she entered college as a freshman at the tender age of 19, allotting her a certain kind of freedom than she lacked prior. Eventually, this led to her dating a woman by the name of Esmeralda, whom she met through through the patronage of her ballet company. And after a month into their relationship, in moment of desperation, Esme offered to sire Odette as her childe, which she accepted.
Since being turned into a vampire, she'd been accepted into the anarch domain, proper. Finding a found family of sorts between the ragtag members of her coterie. She adores Nate and Miguel as brothers. She looks up to Celeste as someone to learn from and aspire to be like, admiring her convictions and values.
