[b][color=fe7e53]Appearance:[/color][/b] Odessa stands an average five foot, but despite her small stature, her entire aura is anything but. Odessa, while friendly and helpful, has a sort of larger than life feel to her that many people cannot pin-point. Though she does have some issues with social interactions at times, there is an unshakeable determination that shines within those hazel eyes of hers. Her build is of toned muscle and feminine curves coupled with a small frame. Though not as strong as most warriors, she looks like she can hold her own.

[b][color=fe7e53]Biography:[/color][/b] Odessa grew up in the heart of the empire as a noble's daughter. She wanted for little and was given almost everything, but instead of looking up to her parents for guidance, she had to suffer the consistent rotation of handmaidens. Though it was a lonely childhood, she kept her nose between the pages of books and spent most of her time trying to master the magic of her birthmark from tutors. During these younger years she wasn't much trouble and mostly kept to herself.

However as she grew up, she started to acquire a wanderlust and found herself sneaking out of the house to walk down streets, climb trees, and watch warriors train in the barracks. This is when she became fascinated by the tales of old, of heroes who fought back the beasts from the Shadowlands, and yearned to earn a place by their sides. A somewhat famous brawler had taken notice of this and decided to take the young noble under his wing, though never let her go into proper battle. Despite her lack of real experience, he noticed her ability to learn quickly and before a few years, she was creeping up on even his level of skill.

Growing into an adult spurred a romantic encounter that changed Odessa's life. As she found herself in training, she would often meet a soldier by the name of Ashley, who would spar with her often. Before long, they both had formed an attraction to one another that was slowly blossoming into something special. Before it could fully formed however, Ashley was called to the front line and met an unfortunate end to her story. With a spark of bittersweet resolve, Odessa choose to dedicate the next year to training until she finally felt ready to join the front lines herself as an irregular - determined not to let Ashley's sacrifice be in vain.

[b][color=fe7e53]Fighting Style:[/color][/b] Odessa fights with a clear fluidity to her motions that are as efficient as they are precise. Though not a master at her particular style, she tries her best to not let a single motion be wasted, playing heavly off of her intelligence as much as her muscle memory.

[b][color=fe7e53]Equipment:[/color][/b] Odessa carries very little, which is normally only her clothes, though she does have a fraction of her own wealth within whatever quarters she's settled into among other things. She does try to carry a small portion of rations within a pouch.

[*][i][color=fe7e53]Journeyman Acrobatic:[/color][/i] Along with her magic and her combat prowess, Odessa has trained to flip, tumble, twist, and dodge - at least enough to be regularly effective.
[*][i][color=fe7e53]Arcane Wizard:[/color][/i] Odessa uses her magic to normally enhance her attacks as a martial artist, though at times, will also pulse the magic to propel her into the air.
