Princess Odette is the female protagonist of The Swan Princess. She is Prince Derek's beloved wife and a loving, caring mother of an adopted daughter named, Alise.

Background[]

Personality[]

Odette is kind, gentle, sweet, caring and compassionate to all she meets. She cares for people and animals alike shown numerous times such as when she healed Puffin's wing shortly after meeting. She is also intelligent, brave, independent, sassy and courageous, facing deadly and dangerous situations that puts her life in danger again and again. Odette is also very hopefully as she refused to lose hope regarding her separation from Derek and the spell turning her into a Swan and did everything in her power to find Derek.

As a future queen, Odette will do anything to protect her husband, Derek and her daughter, Alise. Odette has good leadership skills (like her father did in the first movie) and it is her job to protect her kingdom from her enemies once Derek had defeated Rothbart (who cast a spell on Odette.)

Childhood & Adulthood[]

As a child, she loathes Derek a lot for being immature and was being teased often by him and Bromley (Derek's Best Friend). But as she meets Derek every summer, by the time they are adults, they see each other in a different light and fall in love. Odette was married after she is rescued from Rothbart by Derek.

Appearance[]

Odette is truly and supremely lovely, fair, graceful, elegant, exquisite, classy, charming, luminous, magnificent, stunning and enthralling and angelic and beautiful young woman. She has long, golden blonde wavy hair, fair skin, and amethyst eyes. (Her abnormal eye color may represent her as a very special and unique character.) As a swan, her feathers are white with a golden stripe on the middle of her head (maybe to resemble the color of her hair in human form) and violet/blue eyes.

Fashion Outfits[]

  • As an adult, she wears a sleek white evening gown with blue-green puffs on both of her shoulders with long fitted sleeves when she first meets Derek as an adult. However, Odette usually wears a white dress with blue-green puffs on both of her shoulders with long puffed sleeves and blue lining in most of The Swan Princess films.
  • When she was a child, she wears a pale pink dress and dark-pink on the top with long sleeves, pale pink and dark-pink stripes on her crown.
  • As a teenager during the song, "This Is My Idea", She wears a purple gown with dark purple border around her shoulders.
  • During the ball, Odette (actually Bridget in disguise) wears a sleek black and red dress with the golden necklace.
  • At the wedding, during the end of the film, she wears a swan-like dress and a crown that matches.
  • Briefly in the first movie and usually in the sequels, Odette wears the golden heart-shaped locket with a swan engraving, which was given to her by four-year-old Derek when she was a baby. In the fourth movie, she still wears the same dresses from the first three movies.
  • At the party, she wears the same dress from the first movie except for gold accents.
  • In the fifth movie, she still wears the same green dress that she wears when she met Derek as adults in the first movie but the color of her clothes drastically changed. Instead of wearing her modern-like dress, she wears a blouse with a black vest, dark purple cropped pants and a pair of black boots.

Roles[]

The Swan Princess[]

Once upon a time, Odette is born to the aged King William and is welcomed by the kingdom's people until Sir Rothbart, an evil chancellor turned warlock, is not happy about her birth and tries to take over William's kingdom but failed to do so when the king finds out about it and send his men to attack the tower with the Forbidden Arts. As a punishment, he was banished from the kingdom, along with Bridget. Before he leaves, he made vows that he will take everything that the king loves and leaves.

Years later, Odette is brought together with Derek, a young prince every summer, with King William and Queen Uberta's hope that they will fall in love and marry, thus joining the two kingdoms together. One summer, a grown-up Odette is forced to meet again with a grown-up Derek as usual, even though she is reluctant to do so, until she sees him and falls in love with him. During the ball, Derek announces to arrange their wedding and tells Odette that he wants to marry her for her beauty. When Odette asks Derek what else does it matter to him besides beauty to see if he really loved her, he asks "What else is there?" which makes her upset and rejects him once again.

The next day, Odette and King William make their return home but was stopped by Rothbart, who turns into the "Great Animal" and attacked them. One of King William's injured men tells Derek about the incident and Derek quickly rushes to the scene, only to find King William dying and Odette gone. Rothbart takes Odette to his lair at Swan Lake and puts a transformation spell on her, which turns her into a white swan by day and a human once again by night in the lake under the moonlight. He mentions that the spell can be broken when the man she loves made a vow of everlasting love and proves it to the world.

Rothbart asks her to marry him so he can control the kingdom legally but she ultimately refuses to do so as she is in love with Derek and hopes that he will come to rescue her. During her imprisonment, she befriends a turtle named Speed and a frog called Jean-Bob. As the three were talking, an injured puffin bird named General Puffin crashes near them and was treated by Odette. Soon, Puffin befriended them and devises a plan to get Odette to reunite with Derek after finding out Rothbart's plan from Odette. She finds Derek in the woods, but he doesn't recognized her as he thinks she is the "Great Animal" and tries to kill Odette using his bow and arrows.

She quickly flies back to Swan Lake as the night gets closer, with Derek following her. When she transforms back into her normal self, the two share a short happy reunion and Derek tells Odette to come to the ball tomorrow night to meet him there. As he left, Rothbart appeared from behind the tree, carrying Derek's bow and finds out about the ball. Odette weeps when Rothbart tells that there will be no full moon the next night and she is unable to transform back to her normal self again.

The next night, she is imprisoned in the castle dungeon, together with Bromley, who is lost in the woods when hunting down the "Great Animal" together with Derek. Rothbart sends his old hag, Bridget, disguised as Odette under his spell, to the ball, to trick Derek by saying his vows of everlasting love to the wrong person.

Puffin, Jean-Bob and Speed helps to free Odette from the dungeon and she quickly flies to the ball, hoping that she will get there in time to warn Derek but finds all the way into the castle was blocked, much to her disappointment. As Derek made his vows to the fake Odette, she suddenly feels weaker due to Rothbart's spell that drains her life source, thus killing her. Rothbart made an appearance after Derek made his vows and reveals his plan to him. Derek quickly rushes back to Swan Lake to meet Odette again for the last time. Odette weakly flies back to Swan Lake and was transformed back to her human form as she touches the ground. Before she dies, she tells Derek that she loves him and dies.

Heartbroken and enraged, Derek asks Rothbart to bring Odette back to life but Rothbart refuses and only promises to bring her back if Derek succeeds to kill him. Derek engages in an intense fight against Rothbart, who turns into the "Great Animal" once more, and overpowers him, nearly killing Derek. Puffin remembers the bow that Rothbart threw into the lake and sends Jean-Bob to fetch it. Bromley cowardly escapes from the dungeon through the hole that Speed made and gives Derek an arrow to shoot Rothbart with. Derek fires the arrow at Rothbart's chest, killing him and crashes into the lake. The spell was broken and Odette comes back to life. Derek says that he truly loves her for her courage and kindness and he always truly loved her for that. At the end of the film, Derek and Odette were married before going to the moonlight bridge and romantically kiss as the credits start to roll.

Odette is worried about her relationship when Derek could not longer spend his time with her after becoming King in the first movie. When Clavius locks her in the tower, she asks Puffin, Bridget, Speed and Jean-Bob to transform her back into a swan to warn Derek but she rescues him from the quicksand. She was almost thrown into the lava pool by Clavius’ co conspirator, Sir Knuckles, while she was tied up, but was rescued by Derek. After defeating Clavius, she transforms back into a human when the moon's reflection touch her.
