Odette's true parentage is unknown - as a baby, she was left wrapped up in a blanket on the banks of Swan Lake where she neither cried nor laughed instead, she stared silently at the water until she was eventually found by a carpenter's wife and adopted as the couple could not have children of their own.
In life, Odette was a kind, brave and dutiful woman - as the Swan Princess, she upheld her duty to protect her kingdom which at times could make her stern, but not without mercy.
During her marriage to Prince James, she wears a blue tutu edged with blue beads and frills as well as a blue choker necklace and earrings. As the Swan Princess, she wore the high-ranking Swan Guard uniform as well as the Crown of the Swan - a silver tiara set with pearl and diamond swans (one black and one white). In various portraits, Odette is depicted as a lovely young woman with light brown hair that she wore in a bun and pale skin.
