Odette (Angel)
Odette (Persona100Duh) or more well known as Odettel ('Odette' means 'the prosperous one' and 'el' means 'belonging to the Lord') is an angel who lives in Heaven. Odettel takes her duties very seriously when it comes to serving God, whom she not only looks to as the Supreme Being, but she desires the connection that humans have with Him and seeks to treat Him like the father He is to her, not just a name she calls Him because it's appropriate but because it's what she feels. Since she is one of the predetermined angels who had not betrayed God (The First Battle in Heaven; Lucifer's Fall; Banishment From Paradise) she wonders if she is stuck in her growth for loving God. Contrary to the belief of angels holding little to no emotion, they do possess the ability to have feelings such as anger, exasperation, but also, in her case, feelings of inadequacy that she is not good enough in what and how she does tasks for God. Since she is more perfect than humans, she merely does not reveal the emotions just like the other angels who are called to be neutral for the sake of keeping themselves pure and giving into the temptation the fallen angels imbibe.

Though angels and demons do not possess true physical forms, when Odettel reveals herself to a young woman (whom God sent her to protect personally) she possesses normal characteristics that humans have: flowing flaxen hair, pale skin and blue eyes.

Story: The First Sin
Odettel is an angel who has been thriving throughout the centuries on only her adoration, reverence, and love for God, eager and never questioning whatever He tells her to do, following orders diligently and precisely. The Lord assigns her a specific task one day: to watch over and become the personal guardian of a young and troubled woman, Thumbelina 'Lina' Redstone, and guide her in choices that will benefit her mind and spirit. For a few years Odettel has watched out for the young woman, and in the process had begun to wonder and think about the emotions that range in abundance from one creature. It dawns on Odettel that she, too, possesess other emotions besides those she reveals around God and she starts to contemplate the newfound ones that have always been there but she'd never had firsthand exposure to the possibilties of them.

Because she begins to wonder about them, she delves into herself and discovers she has intense feelings of envy and avarice because of the relationships God personally holds with the humans who seek Him out, and even the ones who don't want Him. Insecure, Odettel continues her duty though she is now worried because those particular feelings were the precise ones for why Lucifer had fallen. She prays and for a long while the feelings retreat and she goes on happily.

After returning to Heaven for a brief period, Odettel returns and discovers that the reason God assigned her Lina was because the latter would become a target for demons, who had entered during the time she was gone and attacked the young woman's mind and soul. She casts them out quickly and the woman barely survives the intensity of demonic power that was thrust into her. Odettel cares for her and promises God that it will not happen again. A fortnight after the incident, another demon attempts whom she recognizes to be Brooklyn (name will be decided later). She commands him to refrain from possessing the young girl but Brooklyn is one of the stronger demons and is not as easy to repell.

Brooklyn and Odettel are constantly battling over Lina, who is in Limbo and being tugged back and forth between life and death; over a lengthy struggle, Brooklyn is held at bay and Lina recovers with the help of Odettel, grateful and at ease that she has supernatural protection. Odettel, over this time, has started to feel something she had never felt before and is confused to why it only occurs when Brooklyn attempts to break in. She assumes it is anger since it feels the same. Frightened, she inquires Lina--who has now become a friend of hers--what this feeling may be. Lina explains that the feeling might be lust, to which Odettel reacts to negatively, since it is forbidden. Odettel goes to Heaven to speak with God and His Son about how to repress the emotion but is dismayed and bewildered to find that the angels have not seen God or the Son of Man in months.

Odettel fights it and, much to her surprise, is told by Brooklyn that he has only been coming now to see her specifically. Doubtful, thinking he only wants to catch her off guard, Odettel refuses to let Brooklyn continue to be so close to Lina's residence and herself. Persistent, Brooklyn manages to convince Odettel that he is not lying--he very much loves her and is desperate to prove it. Odettel realizes he is sincere, however, refuses to give in as God would not that of her. Little by little, withal, she is seduced into the action of copulating. Odettel is shocked afterward and disgusted with herself--not because she was in love with a demon, but because the fornication meant she was no longer pure to enter God's Kingdom. Though she knows she cannot find Him, she sends up a prayer that He will forgive her, even though she deserves to be banished. She is met with silence and takes it upon herself to remain on earth with Lina and gives birth to Alice (charmedpoison), all the while asking for forgiveness every second to gain redemption and holds herself back from accepting Thrax further into her existence. While she had committed an act of sin, Odettel still has her angelic powers (she is uncertain why but she believes it's because God is, at the moment, "not there."), however only uses them when protecting Alice, Lina and other humans who might need aid; she tells Lina to refer to her as 'Odette' from now on since she says that she no longer deserves the meaning of 'belonging to God.'

Personality: In the beginning, Odette's knowledge of expressing emotions was limited and only shown when they were positive feelings to be shown to God. After exposure and time spent among humans, particularly Lina, she comes to understand that she has more potential and was not sure at first whether she liked it or not. Before committing her first sin with Brooklyn, she was afraid that the emotions of envy and pride toward humans would be her downfall and the cause of her being banished. She struggles with her love for Brooklyn and God constantly. She suffers an inferiority complex since then and is aware that God won't accept her back because of good deeds, but she does them to keep her mind from wandering about Brooklyn.
