The previous disceptator of the Council of Malinbois is exceedingly
beautiful. Her youth has been preserved from the day that she took her first
longevity potion, and this stunning Maga turns heads wherever she goes. Of
Lombard descent, she has hair of pale gold, and eyes that would rival sapphires
in their clarity. She dresses in expensive gowns of white and blue, and favours
silver jewelry. Thrust through her girdle one will see a heavily bejeweled
dagger, her Talisman, and a slender wand of gold. Her familiar, a snowy owl by
the name of Athene, is not usually far away ever since Odette made an item that
shrunk the mighty beast to the size of a normal owl. Odette has mastery of the
Air, and is seeking knowledge about all manner of elementals, which are now her
life's work.
Origins
Odette was born into the French/Italian noble family of Pudiciata close to the
Count of Toulouse. Her father (now dead) was a member of the Count's court and
thus she was well educated in all the social graces, being groomed for a
political marriage. Although she attracted the attention of all the young men
at court, she never fell in love until she met a Lieutenant in the army of
Toulouse. He had gained his rank through valour and hard work, not high birth.
She vowed to marry him before he went off to fight the English in Normandy
from where he never returned. Odette never recovered and chose to go into
seclusion. The nunnery was not for her, but she heard of a group of
Astrologers who lived near Foix.

The Lab
Odette's lab was formally the lab of Varina Procellosus, Mistress of the Air.
It is a 3 level regio (mundane, +2, +4, +6) situated in an isolated part of
the Pyrenees. The magical lab has +2 quality and a +3 affinity with Auram. It
has an extensive library of two books purchased from Grimgroth and the former
owner currently resides in a coffin on the +2 level. The building itself is in
the form of a single tower with the mundane level topped by a large nest - the
home of Odette's familiar
Athene.
