True Name:Odette Favre
8tracks Playlist
Alias: The Ambassador of the Fair Folk, The Faerie Mistress, The Ambassador
Speech Color: Thistle
Character Alignment: Chaotic neutral - Villain
Identity: Known
Character Personality: A rather reserved figure with a prankster’s sense of humour, years spent amongst the Fey have rubbed off on her in more ways than one. A well-placed bucket of water or spicy food will have her collapsed in a fit of giggles. Unassuming in her appearance, Odette often takes advantage of her foes immediate underestimation. When all pretences are dropped she has a rather condescending attitude. Can come off rather patronizing without being aware of it.
With few human friends, often kept up for appearances or networking with other ballet dancers. She shows them a front of a thoughtful and caring woman with great tastes in fashion, food and trendsetting. She has a decent twitter following. The only exception to that is Kendra Umbra, a close friend and colleague.
Her real name and other personal information are known publicly to humans, but her work as the Ambassador are entirely secret. To the Fey, names can result in power in their realms. As soon as she crosses the border she refers to herself only as The Ambassador. She makes use of illusion spells, usually casting fogs or charms that make her appearance or face easily forgettable to any curious eyes.
Her focus and sheer strength of will make her an excellent spell caster, unshakable in her confidence. A sharp memory, she has memorized her favourite spells and personal incantations. At home her shelves are filled with a few grimoires she has written and others she has purchased. With a few exceptions she keeps her main grimoire on hand for more complicated spells or spells she doesn't use that often to warrant memorization. A copy of it remains hidden and safe, her secrets and knowledge safeguarded. On her person she keeps her smartphone with a few notes and minor spells, and a smaller notebook. Avidly prepared no matter where she goes.
She lacks considerable amounts of empathy for her fellow human being, often has to remind herself to react appropriately. However she cares deeply for her connection to the Fey. Personally takes their affairs and bargains seriously. Well versed in rules, lore and expectations of the Fey she is polite to a fault. Manners matter, easily repulsed by crude behaviour or language.
Hero Type: Mystic/Acrobat
Power Level:
City Level – Influence and Power
World Level (depending on her work with the leylines)
Powers:
Opening Rifts/Door Ways– Traversing Fey Realms
->Adept to finding cracks and bleeding spots along Earth's leylines. Using them to open rifts to create a doorway. Typically opening doors to Faerie Realms where she knows she is safe and can travel along the Arcane Stream without trouble. Opening rifts takes considerable amounts of concentration and invocation of the Arcane Stream. Once the rift is open she creates a door able to open and close the rift at will. Akin to stepping in and out of a river. After opening a rift and creating a door, she needs to eat either a high protein bar or sit down for a meal.
Spell Casting
-> Has an impressive repertoire of spells memorized. She uses Words of Power to give her spells intention and power. Until they are spoken they have no power. Locator spells, levitation spells, illusion spells, minor healing spells, magical ward and trap spells. Largely depending on what it is she influencing or changing she would rely on Bach's magic reservoir to complete the spell.
Fundamental-Elemental Manipulation
-> Basic manipulation of the magical elements. Air and Water, able to change the temperature of air and water. Elemental magic takes a lot of concentration and power, i.e if she whips up a storm it'll take a full day of rest to be back to normal. While possessed by Bach she has mastery over Earth elemental magic. Able to grow trees from seeds, at full power possible to rattle tectonic plates.
Luck absorption (Range about 25 ft)
-> Pretty straightforward, a boon from Fey royalty imbued to her soul. She absorbs the luck of anyone near by. Influencing her chances at survival, winning a game, not getting caught, dodging a nasty attack etc...
Item Enchantment (shoes for high jumping ability, broom sticks for flight, etc…)
-> Able to enchant items and objects with magical purpose. Small time stuff barely registers as a use of energy. Bigger objects and intentions take more energy.
Summoning Fey, Fey Spirits
-> Largely depending on her relationship with the Fey she is summoning she simply invites them through sigil usage. Draws their sigil and calls to them. Larger or more powerful Fey are hardly under her control while small time sprites obey her commands. She never summons a Fey that she doesn't know personally.
Multi Linguist
-> Fluent in French (native), English and Common Fey. Bach however translates and speaks many more Fey languages for Odette.
Attributes:
Strength Level: Athletic (disciplined ballet dancer) when possessed by Bach, 30.
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: Normal human when possessed by Bach, 40
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: Trained dancer, above average for human, when possessed by Bach 3 hours.
Agility: Normal human, possessed by Bach x5.
Intelligence: Above average, incredible instincts for when someone is lying or have bad intentions. Skills she picked up with years of dealing with the Fey, tricky and untrustworthy by nature.
Fighting Skill: Trained. When she became involved in crime she knew she couldn’t rely on good luck alone to get out of a fight. Learned self defence.

Fighting Skill: Trained. When she became involved in crime she knew she couldn’t rely on good luck alone to get out of a fight. Learned self defence.
Resources: High, lives well based off her income as a successful ballet dancer and the profit she makes from her work with the Shroud.
Weaknesses:
Magic Limitations: Her magic is limited to how well rested she is and her calorie count for the day. Even when drawing on her connection to Bach it takes a good night sleep and a meal to fully recharge from a fight. Pushing past those limitations can result in fainting, bloody noses, worst case scenario coma or spontaneous combustion depending on the energy output.
Possession: When possessed by Bach she has typical Fey weaknesses to iron, for Bach being an Earth Fey he has an aversion to fire.
Human constraints: Being a typical human being, even with insanely good luck a bullet or bad fall could be the end of her.
Polite to a Fault: Unlike Fey she is not bound to correct mannerisms and precise speech. Though she respects those same guidelines and lives by them. Any foe smart enough to use them against her can and will be successful. i.e no harm can befall a guest in her home, gifts of virtue or boons must be well received then repaid in kind no exceptions, handshakes are binding, etc...
The Yew Tree: At the beginning of their pact, Bach and Odette planted a Yew sapling directly on a leyline outside of Paris. It not only symbolises their pact but acts as a construct of Bach's connection to his home realm. It's a source of power and a significant doorway to his realm. They have shrouded it with every protection spell they know as well as safeguards against natural disaster. Only Bach and Odette know of it's importance it is a very well kept secret.

-1 Month Prior to the Riots-
The skyline in Paris was marvelled by millions as the sun set again for the day. For native Parisians it was a sign of comfort and signalled the beginning of its active nightlife. Coffee shops and restaurants lit up in response to the fading light. Along the cobblestoned streets in the old quarter, where everyday business owners raised the price of a cup of coffee to gouge locals and tourists alike.
A young woman with bright blue hair, eyes and bright pink lips sat outside one of these restaurants perched on the edge of her seat seemingly invested in the newspaper she had opened in front of her. Any regular onlooker would assume she was a high fashion debutant, more concerned with Fashion week than with current events. Who was paying for her expensive choices? A pair of rich parents or was she acting the part of a trophy wife. They were half right. The wars of man and its tragedies hardly caught her attention. The plea of refugees, war crimes and disease could not and would not move her to even care let alone react appropriately.
Assumptions from strangers did not register nor did they matter, not to her. However her attentions were on avidly listening to the small sprites whispering in her ear, invisible to everyone untouched by the Fey. They were giving her updates to where her next pick up would be found. Rising with the grace and dignity disciplined with years of ballet. Tonight when the sun dipped below the horizon she would take a quick walk then taxi ride to the edge of the city.
When she met with her clients, they were unnerved but polite greeting the woman. They spoke English with distinct American accents.
"Madame Ambassador." A tall scruffy gentleman in an ill fitted suit greeted her.
Smiling gently in hopes to ease their apparent fear, "Bonsoir, gentlemen."
They bowed their heads in respect; already she knew they were warned aptly of her expectations.
"Where are we heading to tonight?"
"Back to the states, ma'am. The Cowl is calling in his agents to start something big in Lost Haven." The tall man replied.
She nodded acknowledging his reply then said quietly, "The Cowl always has his plans. There is no time like the present so we shall depart shortly, sirs. I must warn and you must listen to what it is I am about to tell you."
They nodded in unison.
"You will be departing Earth as we know it and entering realms of true danger. While you are with me there is considerable protection. I have successfully escorted men and goods through these realms multiple times. But do not mistake me when I say you are not safe."
The men exchanged a look of fear as the young woman turned her back lifting her hands up to the sky already at work searching for her doorway. Her hands glowed with a misty blue while rapid fire French called for invocation. Light split in front of her blinding the men. A ragged strip of space opened in front of them as power flowed out of the arcane stream. The power flowed through her as a door took shape.
Immense concentration furrowed her brow while the final touches of the door formed.
"Now, gentlemen. We are ready. Follow me and stick close. Do not touch, do not linger and most importantly do not fear. For the Fey they know and will surely descend upon you. There is little I can do stop the dark Fey from devouring your very souls when they catch a strong scent of fear. I only hope for your sakes that it is a quick death."
Showing a toothy smile she opened the door with vigour, "Come, Lost Haven awaits us."
