PLAYER

NAME: S.
CONTACT: PM to this journal, ask for plurk.
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: CEST/CET, usually online my evenings, rarely my nights, thus pretty slow with tags, though I strive for one tag per day at the least.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Prose preference for this character. Will match, however.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: N/A.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: After having lived half her life as a bird, Odette has grown a bit skittish about proximity and physical contact. You'll need to earn her trust, before she won't try to avoid it.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Minor things are fine, ask before major injury.
RELATIONSHIPS: F/M & F/F both fine. I generally play her as having had something with Odile as well as Siegfried. One-sided attraction from Rothbart is also implied in my backstory for her.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Ask.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Has been cursed to take a swan's shape from sunrise to sundown. Only resumes her own human form at night.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Sexual aggression implied between Rothbart and her, possibly also between Odile and her. Several other versions than the Danish has her committing suicide at the end of the ballet and although it's not entirely congruent with the RDB version of Swan Lake, I like to run with that in my understanding of her here as well, so warnings for that.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Will try and backtag as much as possible, but due to RL I can lose drive and/or interest sometimes.
THREADHOPPING: Sure, if everyone's in on it.
FOURTHWALLING: Go for it.
NOT INTERESTED IN: Writing smut.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: At night, a long-limbed, slender woman with a bird-like aura to her movements, blonde hair, blue eyes. During the day, a mute swan.
AURAL: Slightly hoarse, breathy voice that she rarely raises.
OLFACTORY: Spending a lot of time by or in the lake, she smells like fresh air and, less charmingly, a bit like mud and duckweed.
DEMEANOUR: She is the daughter of a queen and has since then been elected queen of the other swan maidens, so she has a distinct royal air about her. When not in swan form, she carries herself gracefully, although with a hint of bird to her movements. Due to her situation, there's also a certain caged desperation to be found in the way she moves, like every step is an attempt at escape.

NOTES

Although using Susanne Grinder as PB, this Odette is a mix of several versions, danced primarily by J'aime Crandall and Polina Semionova, and the version of the ballet which I take as canon for her is the Royal Danish Ballet 2015 production.


I can AU Odette into most (high) fantasy settings and fairy tales, I can modernize her upon request and I have a generic Star Wars AU available for her, too.
