Oddie was born in the spring and brought on delight and peace between her mother and father. She filled the halls of their home with joy and laughter and was the essence of happiness within an otherwise torn household. She had ways of calming even the darkest of souls in the duration of her presence with the person, such as her older brother. It was because of her that he was out of trouble and calmer, but it soon seemed that his love was becoming obsessive toward the girl, so their mother separated them. Odette was sent to live with her Grandmere where she would become a polished and well educated young lady, where she learned to dance and hone her music. Her brother went mad because of her absence, and their mother was the target of his madness. He took the life of Madame de Mercier... Jean Luc did not send his only daughter back to her grandmere after the mourning, she remained with him.
