Odette Saoirse

Odette Saoirse (Oh-dett Soar-she), also known as Odie or Ode, is a street musician with a penchant for rolling seas, strong drink and timeless chivalry. There are many adjectives that could be used to describe Odette, of which differ from person to person. To some she might appear a thug, an uncontrollable troublemaker. To others, she is a beacon of independence and alluring boldness. To both she would shake her head and offer a grin; for she is both and neither of these things - just a bard who ends up in the thick of it more often than not. It is likely that most would agree, however, that when push comes to shove she was one whom can be counted on.

One | Two Lightweight, accentuating leather & cloth. ❝ Dunnae wish away yer days waitin' fer the better ones ahead. Live t'day! ❞ A smattering of freckles paint the sun-kissed flesh of the seafaring Odette Saoirse. With features framed by golden tresses the color of ocean shores, her aquamarine eyes make for an oceanic masterpiece bordering between both green and blue in equal measure. These natural aesthetics are further enhanced by the confidence in which she carries herself, the smile that is quick to bloom on her full lips, and the mannerisms which accompany the passionate vocalization of her words and song. The woman herself is clearly Hyur and, for all assumptions, appears to be aged in her mid to late twenties. Highlander blood runs strongly in her veins and is clearly evident in both build and proud features, despite the lacking height and curious professions. Odette's form is noticeably curved, though athletically built for dexterity and uneven waters; thicker thighs used for duelists combat tapering into taut waistline and ample bust - often unashamedly displayed of her own will. On the left side of her shapely hips hangs a single rapier, simple in it's design but well cared for by a loving hand. On her right; an ebony hued flintlock pistol encased in leather holster. The Highlander's attire consists most often of cloth and leathers; a life at sea teaching her the importance of light-weight materials. It is not uncommon for such to have small elements of flair, however, a bard's flamboyance mingled with swashbuckler's bravado despite the embrace of a simple lifestyle. Most often she wears form-fitting garb and an accentuating boneless corset. When preparing to engage in combat, however, one might hear the quiet clinking of chain mail beneath her chosen garb or a bow slung over shoulder. Almost always, a worn leather satchel hangs from her waist. div id="top" align=center> > ✦ SOCIABLE:. Odette enjoys engaging with people, and usually presents in a charismatic way regardless of pressing issues. One would find her to be open and friendly on a day to day basis. Rarely does she turn down the opportunity to share a drink or hear a well-spun tale. ✦ PUCKISH: Naturally falls back on humor to ease tension and lift spirits. Delights in making others laugh, and getting into mischief. Her humor can border on the flirtatious or crude at times, but it's always in the name of fun and done good-naturedly. It remains a stark contrast to her maturity in private settings. ✦ PASSIONATE:. Despite her light-hearted personality and mirthful ease, Odette can be a fiercely passionate woman in causes dear to her heart. This passion comes across in both words and actions, a fiery persona that empowers she and others around her. Sometimes this manifests boldly in reckless or stubborn mannerisms. ❝ Life ain't fair, it's jus' fairer than death, an' most cynics are simply thwarted romantics. ❞ Odette greets the 'verse with a free-spirited mirth and passionate disposition. True, while the first thing many might notice about her is a natural comeliness, it is her confidence and mannerisms that truly shape her as a person. The former sailor is a brave, multi-talented woman with the suave charm of a rouge and the fiery nature of a warrior, despite her ongoing friendliness. She retains a daring spirit, and is fiercely loyal to those whom win her guarded trust. Odette comes across as being 'common' in her interactions with others; a combination of carefree ease, choice of word and impish humor that often raises a brow or two, but generally lends to an overall down-to-earthness and sincerity that is the very definition of 'what you see is what you get'. Given the fact that she values her freedom so dearly, this shapely has a strong distaste for those who wish to take it from another regardless of alignment or intention. She lives by her own creed, often putting her at the suspicion of others whom might not understand the lawlessness of her 'out-of-the-box' ways and her impish delight in shaking the norm. Indeed, there are those whom might consider the Highlander overly brazen at times; flirtatious or rough around the edges, yet as much of that remains true to her character such remains an exaggeration for a more genuine and kindhearted spirit within. Odette is not a modest person in terms of confidence, she knows what she is good at and what she is not and has no qualms about admitting to either. Despite her lack of modesty, in terms of materialism she is rather humble and appreciates the simplicity and rawness of such a lifestyle. She refers to herself as a 'simple' being with simple goals, and while she is not afraid to speak her mind, her honesty can often come across as being unrefined or blunt. Despite this, she rarely speak of herself genuinely and often masks her own troubles for the benefit of remaining strong for those whom depend on her. There are many adjectives that could be used to describe Odette, of which differ from person to person. To some she might appear a thug, an uncontrollable troublemaker. To others, she is a beacon of independence and alluring boldness. To both she would shake her head and offer a grin; for she is both and neither of these things - just a bard who ends up in the thick of it more often than not. It is likely that most would agree, however, that when push comes to shove she was one whom can be counted on.
