-Odette Billeaud -

Lily a crié.
Odette a crié, bien qu'il ait été noyé par Lily.
"Oup!"
Malheureusement, le regard toujours vide de son visage n'a pas vraiment donné un soupçon de surprise. Au lieu de ça, elle a juste regardé pendant quelques secondes silencieuses et maladroites... flottantes. Au-dessus du sol. Elle avait complètement bousculé cette tentative. Elle ne voulait pas faire peur à Lily. Elle devrait dire quelque chose! N'importe quoi! Mais qu'est-ce qu'elle pourrait dire qui ne sortirait pas encore pire? Elle regarda vers le sol, essayant de recueillir ses pensées d'une manière opportune, mais finalement n'a rien trouvé pour répondre à Lily avec ce qui ne serait pas aussi mauvais ou pire.
Donc elle a juste flotté là-bas.
Aveuglément, je regardais en silence.
C'était terrible. Peut-être que si elle restait immobile et ne faisait rien, elle ne penserait pas qu'elle était un fantôme effrayant? Elle aimait penser qu'elle était exactement le contraire... du moins, elle n'a jamais essayé délibérément d'être effrayante ou effrayante.
Odette Billeaud

Height: 5'6
weight: ...weightless?
With average height, flawless complexion, Odette would be considered quite on the attractive scale. With fairly large...tracts of land, and ample assets most would likely find her appearance quite enthralling. She has bright, golden blond hair with bright blue eyes that sometimes flash green with otherworldly magic. Her skin is cool to the touch, and the air around her tends to be a few degrees cooler than most.
As for clothing...well, she wears a simple black and red gothic dress. Where it comes from she has no idea. Its sort of...a part of her. She can't exactly remove it.
Age
Approximately 342, though she cannot give you an exact date. Physically she appears in her early twenties.

Spirit Crafting:
Odette has an almost preternatural affinity for the spirits of the dead. She's always had it, even when she was a child. It's no surprise that as such, the spirits of the dead are naturally drawn to her. She functions as almost a conduit for lost souls, spirits, and other such entities with nowhere else to go. Those that flock to her, she can give temporary form in the form. This is not necromancy mind you since it is not raising the dead - though it could easily be an offshoot of it. She simply gives the spirits a desired form, effect, and abilities and uses them to the full of her ability. She could also change the appearance and abilities of a spirit mid-battle, should she need too. The limitations of the ability are indeed, quite few. It is fairly versatile and powerful if used correctly. All she needs is time, a little creativity, and she could theoretically give a spirit any sort of form possible,
Don't assume spirits have to take the form of animate objects either, or you will quickly find yourself surprised.
The spirits are faithful servants, lost souls who refuse to move on and will give anything for the ability to linger for even awhile longer. The time these spirits can last is typically limited, and one could endeavor to outlast them. If they use up all of their 'life force' they will dissipate into raw mana and the spirits will return to Odette.
Attacks from these spirits differ greatly on a case to case basis, though none of them are ever physical in nature, and most unless specialized in something else harm the persons soul directly. Blue, destructive unholy flames are the most common that her spirits will wield, if anything.
A few limitations, are that the more powerful, more ability she gives a spirit, means the longer time she needs to craft it. It also means it will likely have a shorter lifespan. Plus, her supply of 'souls' if you will is not infinite, and she can run out which means she would be quite vulnerable. After being used, spirits typically need to rest a bit before being re-used.
Incorporeal Form:
Odette's physical form, is not actually physical at all. As she is basically a very powerful, old, spirit, she has crafted her own spirit like she does the spirits controls. This means that any sort of physical attack would find it being fairly ineffective against her. That said, she can feel pain and all the other sensations as she has achieved the ability to craft this shell to her standards using magic and appear mostly human. She can even be killed - or at least her 'body' can, though it doesn't bleed. This would of course, limit her effectiveness upon the physical world as she would then only exist as an incorporeal spirit until she could recover enough to reform her body.
However, any sort of holy, religious, or other such things would find them working wonders against her. Exorcisms to banish her spirit are highly effective, and she tends to stay away from any place of religion - not out of fear, mind you. She simply finds such places annoying to deal with. Any sort of magic that also directly affects magical entities and any sort of ‘dispelling’ functions will also be found to be rather effective against both her and her spirits.
This also gives her the ability to basically walk through walls, phase through objects and float about in a spooky ghosty manner.
Could theoretically be controlled by a necromancer/witch with sufficient power. However, as she is an incredibly powerful spirit it would need to be someone who is stronger than she is. She is terrified of the thought of being pressed into someones service against her will.
Personality
Frigid, if one were to go by outer appearances.
Odette exudes an almost cold confidence at all times, and carries herself as such. For most people, they have more than a little trouble approaching her. It doesn't help she typically wears a slightly condescending seeming expression that makes most people back off. The fact she doesn't typically approach people and talk with others, has given her a somewhat arrogant and cold reputation among others. Unfortunately, this is all a huge misunderstanding.
Odette has an intense fear of actually speaking with others. Well, perhaps not a fear of it, really, but she gets incredibly nervous when approached by someone and her words tend to get caught in her throat. For most people this makes it looks like she's deciding just how much she's going to kill the plebeian that dare to speak with her. To her, she's frantically trying to say a simple 'hello' without appearing too incompetent.
However, when it comes to academics, magical things, and general intelligence though, that arrogance and cold assumption holds some truth. She considers her skills in such area to be the best and will not take any insults about such skills lightly.
Background
Truthfully, Odette doesn't remember much about her past. Her earliest memories are of 'waking' up in a mausoleum somewhere in some abandoned church far out in the countryside. She remembers that once, in her life she was someone with incredible influence - likely an old noble or some such and a sorceress of some power. Memories from that time though, are fleeting and inconsistent sometimes at best. For a time after waking, she simply lived in the ruins, coming to terms with what she was.
A ghost.
A shocking thought to be sure. She had died and somehow retained both freewill and knowledge of her previous life to an extent. Not to mention, control over other lost spirits. Whatever she had been in her previous life must have been someone of quite some power. She spent some time developing these abilities, and practicing talking and communicating with spirits that wandered to her. She either helped those who wanted to pass on, to do so, or she offered them to come into her service. That was...well, quite a number of years ago. She can't recall how long. Time is funny sometimes, to an undead. Years can pass quickly, if you're not careful, especially if you were in isolation from the world.
She didn't entirely know much about the world, but eventually rumors reached her of a place of learning and where other people such as herself could learn, live, and generally be free from any sort of exorcism by people. Well...it sounded like fun? Hopefully she wouldn't mess it up.

Ustha-Kth
or 'Bea' as she prefers being called for whatever reason

"Oh, little birdie, what are you doing, trying to talk to stars flying so close to the moon? They having nothing to say to you, silly. Better you were lost in a pleasant forest, find a goat and have a chat. Mother likes little birdies that visit..."
Height: 5'7
Weight: 132lbs.
At first glance, Ustha, or Bea, appears to be a slim, young girl of petite build standing at around 5'7". She has long black hair that falls to her shoulders with a pale complexion. Her eyes, are of a somewhat unearthly blue color. If one so happened to stare, they would find little specks of light embedded in her pupils. Typically, she can be seen wearing a warm jacket with a thin, one piece dress with blue earrings. She typically wears a friendly smile, and seems to be otherwise easy to speak too.
However, the longer one looks at her, they might start seeing...something else. A third, fleshy arm coming out of her right elbow. Head replaced by a mass of writhing tentacles. Clothes turn to a mass of pulsating, slimy, flesh. Blink however, and her appearance returns to that which it was before. Nothing more than a trick of the light or an overactive imagination...right? No, that's just her getting a giggle out of silly humans when seeing their petrified faces. At times, her skin can feel slightly clammy.

Otherworldly physiology
To put simply, Bea isn't human if it wasn't obvious. She in fact, was born in the outer realms of reality, where human comprehension fails them. As such, she has a bit of...an ability to not exactly be all that easily killed. Not to mention enhanced strength and endurance, meaning despite her slim form she could easily take a beating and dish one out. It also mean she in fact, has a number of appendages she can use similarly to hands.
Perception Warping:
A minor ability of hers, that basically allows others to change how normal humans perceive her via small scale reality warping. Most normal humans, she can effectively completely turn herself invisible towards and mask her presence entirely. To others, such as supernatural entities and whatnot, while it is lessened, she is still able to more or less hide her true appearance and replace it with that of a small human girl.
This is of course, an ability she can only use on herself to mostly change how the human world perceives her physical form. This does not mean she'll be able to give herself new abilities/actually be any different. Think of it a bit like a permanent illusion, one that can affect the world, bleed, and things like that. Once someone's perception has been set, it is also quite difficult to change without great mental stress so she tends to avoid such things.
Her true form, is difficult for normal humans to comprehend. Most would get a headache as their minds tried to understand what they were seeing. Others simply are too simple to even comprehend that much. A very rare few are able to perceive her form in its entirety, but such individuals are few. Those, special, privileged or unlucky few may be able to discern her true form, but at perhaps great cost to their mental state.
She can, and will, at times manifest some of her true appearance to defend herself if need be. Often an extra arm or two, and some...erm, tentacles. She still prefers a mostly human appearance, so she doesn't hurt any funny humans.
Star Beacon
Honestly, her presence in the human world is not something the world exactly likes. She, is a being that should not be present. This has the unfortunate effect of making it easier for...other things to slip through by her simply being present. Now, normally its not anything bad and its not anything she has control over. She could possibly learn to use it for nefarious purposes, but she has no desire too. Anything that slips through is easily dealt with and nothing dangerous so far as been able to free itself. Some tend to even attack her at times, if anything dangerous slips through.
Personality
Aside from talking to herself, seeming to speak about things in an odd way at times, Bea is perfectly friendly. In fact, she has a bit of a child like curiosity about most things and always seeks to both learn more about what she is looking at and people in general. She can generally either be found in the library reading, or attempting to try some hands on experience with something she's never seen before. She likes people, and likes talking to them. In fact, she can get a bit...handsy with people. She indeed, likes giving people hugs for whatever reason. Likely due to some of that same curiosity that drives her to learn - she wants to know as much about people as she can.
As far as intelligence goes, though, she is either too smart for humans to understand, or she's not all that smart at all. Considering what she is, it is quite likely she simple understands the world in much a different way than humans, but she still tries learning either way.
She does, however, have a bit of a mischievous streak in her. While she does like people, she also likes 'playing' with them. Typically this involves giving them a small bit of a scare at times, or otherwise speaking something rather odd or disconcerting and never saying what she completely means, if she is even capable of it. Also, one should note she seems to view humans with slight...arrogance, as in, she thinks they are there solely for her amusement.
Background
Bea's History would start with a now mostly defunct cult. This surreptitious cult, believing in such things as otherworldly beings, tried to summon one. Things that would make reality shudder, that were powerful beyond human comprehension. Thankfully for the world, they failed in summoning one of the Great Old ones...but perhaps it wasn't entirely a failure. It wasn't a Great One, but the great ones had blessed them with a child. The cult was eager to say that this child, whatever it was, was the key to something greater.
Thankfully they never got a chance to test that theory. The cult was betrayed by an informant. One who was allied with those who saw such creatures and things abhorrent. In the chaos, the unborn child and the surrogate mother managed to escape. Realized the gravity of the situation, the mother thought about many things, realizing this child may have been the key to disaster. Before she could do anything though, she was told in her dreams, that if she let anything happen to the child - the creature would plunge the world into chaos and make her life a living hell.
So, when the child was born, this person took to raising the child on her own. Ustha, or Bea, as her mom called her, was keenly aware of what she was and she never tried to pretend otherwise. She was a being that should not be here, but was, and she intended to make the best of it. For years, she tried to understand humans and learn things of earth, but it proved difficult. She inherently viewed the world in a much different manner than they. She could, yes, learn to talk, mimic human form well enough and mostly appear as human, but there were some things she could never wrap her head around completely.
After some years, her human mother sent her to this academy. Maybe she could learn something. Over the years, the mother had learned that the child was almost as innocent and fun as any other, and she should not suffer simply for some arbitrary reason that she could do something.
