 Odessa "Dessie" Blanc tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Odessa's the daughter of two fairly well off individuals who cared more about looks and money than they did the wellbeing of Dessie, and because of this most of the time it's rare that she's not at the very least wearing foundation and eyeliner, with her hair as straight as it can physically get.Acne scars from her younger years are what's typically found beneath her makeup. Despite this false presentation, Odessa is an average girl in most senses of the word, barely above 5'3" and of an average weight distribution, often times it can be slightly obvious she's trying to carry herself as somebody she isn't. Her hair seems to be dyed a fawn red, and Dessie wears purple contacts. her natural hair is a meek brown while her eyes are a soft amber. More often than not, Odessa adorns herself in thin clothing, possibly due to her love of feeling the soft chill of the air on her skin. Spagetti straps or sleeveless clothing, with skirts dancing mid-thigh are her typical go-to staples, however if neccesary she'll dress more to fit in- not that she'll like it. personality
abilities Breathing Underwater - Natural Swimming at High Speed (in seal form) - Intermediate Healing - Intermediate Seal Shifting - Advanced As she's a Selkie, Odessa has the ability to shift into the form of a soft white Harp Seal. As she grew up often being taken down to the beach her parents let her have a lot of experience young getting to know this form and getting used to what it was like being in it. Water Manipulation - Beginner Though comfortable in her seal form, Odessa rarely goes out her way to go out of her comfort zone. She adores water, but she's always been wary or not in the right headspace to properly shape, shoot or manipulate it alltogether. It's something she only knows the bare basics of, and even then it's really nothing special. backstory How can you tell what's really true, if you're a child of liars? Liars who would do whatever it took to stay out of trouble and mediate blame from the family. To all who were concerned, the Blanc family was the home to two fated lovers, soulmates intertwined with happy pasts and a glorious future ahead. Individuals who preached to all who'd listen about the love and prosperity a partner would give to you. Hana and Elliot Blanc were utterly perfect to the public eye, they had two beautiful daughters and the most gorgeous house one would ever see. But they were not soulmates, they were salesman in the name of love, matchmakers who worked out of the family house in silk robes and beaded gowns, with bright eyes and such kind words. Odessa grew up watching strangers come and go from her house, hearing her parents weave half-truths and peculiar lies, though as a toddler she came to question them and their ways of peculiarity- her older sister however would quiet her, gently comb her fingers through the Selkie's hair and tell her it was what had to be done to continue living so lavishly. Perhaps growing up in an environment so welcoming of things frowned upon rubbed off on the small girl, perhaps being told that what her parents were doing was right warped her mind. She can remember beach days where her sister would drag her along to other families to try schmooze money off of them, she can remember playing the lost child act more times than her little heart could take. She can remember being used as an example of the perfect daughter to two loving soulmates. She can remember the distance between her parents behind closed doors, the talks of money and daily quotas. She can remember tea, gently passed over to her everytime she tried to question the strange atmosphere. A chilled cup of tea. If she couldn't turn in work at school, she's present a lie instead, believed with minimal questioning, and her parents would heartily back it up if ever called. Her sister was much worse than her, and often if her sister felt like not attending school she'd make Odessa stay home, if only to further back up her lie. Odessa was ten when her parents were found out about some of their lies, having hurt one too many hopeful individuals. Odessa doesn't remember what happened inbetween the move from her old house to her new one, and she's sure what she was told was a lie. Her sister told her bad people were forcing them out, her parents told her they wanted a place more comfortable and easier to maintain. They continued their buisness under a new name. Odessa's sister kept up her lies and often to cope would spend weeks off school, shopping or hanging out in places she probably shouldn't be. Odessa would remain curled up on the couch, small and unsure, nursing her tea and watching whatever aired on television instead of studying in school to keep up her sisters lie. Dessie was tired of it. She was so tired. But, terrified of speaking out and having her family defend themselves with more dishonest words, she kept her feelings to herself. Life continued like this for a year, at least until her sister became interested in a classmate and decided she wanted to spend more time there than not. Odessa felt uncomfortable at school, not being incredibly close to many people and having been leagues behind on the curriculm. Fitting in was hard, and often when questioned about her long absenses she felt guilty about how easily she was able to lie about the truth. It got to the point that Odessa, as soon as she was able to, dropped out of school. It came as a shock to her perfect sister and parents, who didn't quite understand her reasoning no matter how much Odessa told them, but after understanding they couldn't sway her she began working on files and profiling for her parents buisness. She went through a though years almost stuck in limbo, often finding herself on the couch with files, sipping at a tea to calm herself down and watching whatever show was on TV at the time. It was during one of these moments, during a celeb interview, the idea of becoming an actress came to mind- they lie about who thy are all the time, for others entertainment! She was seventeen at the time, and, when she brought the idea up to her parents they seemed enthralled with the idea. They were quick to use some of their saving to sign her up for acting classes and try get contacts in the industry, and soon Odessa found herself in a world oh-so familiar, but now without her sister pulling her behind had less issue with what she was being taught. Of course, the world of film is a difficult one to enter- perhaps her parents paid off somebody, Odessa isn't sure, but she found herself starting with advertisements, often advertisements warning of the terrors, trying to convince people into specific fields to better Lorsette- And then she got her first film gig, and everything changed. Acting came easily to the Selkie, though she was uncomfortable to admit it and awkward and distant when the cameras were off with a lot of her costars, it never stopped her or from people finding her strange personality charming. Though she has a long way to go in the film industry, Odessa, known often by what she wants her fans to call her (Dessie) is willing to do whatever it takes to push her past behind her and continue forward. misc Odessa uses tea as a coping mechanism, whenever she feels guilty or bad about something she can be found downing up to three small cups in a row. She adores the cold, often to the point she'll feel uncomfortable if the room or place she's in isn't heavily air conditioned. She lives in a small flat in the suburbs, and has very minimal contact with her family outside of phone calls. Odessa is unused to being around a lot of people, or being friendly with them. She might come off to most to start as cold as distant, however you might end up with an unlikely friend if you keep at it. | roleplayer info  ☆ NAME overlordie / lordie ☆ RP EXPERIENCE since i was twelve, eight years. ☆ TIMEZONE aedt +11 (or aest +10) ☆ GENDER female ☆ AGE 20 ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS n/a ☆ FACE CLAIM IDOLMASTER, arisagawa natsuha ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO lordie.
