Odila Atratus

"Never judge a bird by her feathers."

- Odila Atratus



Daughter of The Ugly Duckling, she is always on the cusp of blending into the background or standing out - only due to her constant clumsiness. Quiet, never speaking louder than a whisper, Odila is often forgotten and left behind in many activities. Usually used as Duchess Swan's whipping girl, Odila can be seen trailing after her, carrying the uppity girl's books and fetching snacks and drinks at Duchess's whim. Part of her wishes for her 'transformation' to happen as soon as possible...another part of her desperatly wishes she could find friends and a prince charming who would love her despite not being "fairest of them all". However, she just doesnt have the backbone to fight for it. Thus, she remains a doormat.

Personality
Odila is a very quiet and shy girl, often prone to stuttering. She rarely looks anybody in the eye - the ground can be quite facinating during a conversation. She's never the first to volunteer for anything, lest she be singled out, however, she has no problem doing the work that others would rather not do. Usually this means helping clean up classrooms and whatnot.

She never really knows what to do around excitable people like Maddie Hatter. She finds it better to let them bustle around animatedly, while she watches with a smile, wishing she could have even a sliver of their self-confidence. Because of her quiet nature, she's often used as a doormat for some of the more aggressive students - namely, Duchess Swan. She hates hearing others laugh at her and wishes she could be brave enough to stand up to them, but she's so desperate for friends that she lets it go. She knows that this is her story and that she should just put up with the bullying and mocking (something she's encouraged to do by her own Father), however, she cant help but to feel some sort of duty to herself and the rebels. She finds her self wondering quite a bit: What's so wrong with wanting to be liked for who you are?
