Distinguishing Features: Odaline has an inch-long scar behind her right ear that she has no recollection of getting
Current Face Claim: Samantha Gangal


Personality Type:
Likes: reading, learning languages, listening in on conversations for her parents, pick pocketing, the thrill of not being caught, how proud her parents are when she isn’t caught, hearing stories of how her parents met and fell in love, sister time with Ingrid,
Dislikes: independent social interactions, peaches, bananas, being in Ingrid’s shadow even though she’s younger, dancing, singing, any over the top performance piece,
Habits: looking to her parents or sister to answer questions for her, touching the scar behind her ear when she feels uncomfortable
Motto: “Do you have clearance for that?”

Odaline is extremely dependent on her parents outside of their house, as they have raised her to speak only with their permission and answer no questions about herself. She keeps herself to herself for that very reason and has only been alone with someone who isn’t her parents or Ingrid a handful of times. Odaline applies her energies into learning a new language when she can and has mastered the art of speaking seven languages fluently. This is something that her parents encouraged from a young age, as they moved countries every eighteen months. Oda has never been given the chance to make her own friends or interact with others around the same age as her, so the thought of Hogwarts is completely scary to her as she’ll be on her own.

Odaline is sensitive to textures of foods and discovers new things that she doesn’t enjoy in her mouth every few days. Most notably though, bananas and peaches.

Pre Hogwarts (2086 - 2097)

The version of events that Odaline knows, is very different to those which actually occurred. For her sake.

Anissa Reid married Eric Beddington in the August of 2078, three years after they began dating. They met when she began working at a call centre in Bedfordshire after dropping out of her university course in business. Eric was the training coordinator for new staff and they hit it off instantly. Anissa bit the bullet and asked him out to dinner just a week after she began her new job and the pair were inseparable after that. However, in the Spring of 2082, Eric witnessed an extremely violent crime in their neighbourhood and both he and his wife were taken into witness protection after it was discovered to be a bigger thing than all had discovered.

Their handler was Benjamin Buchanan and instead of maintaining a purely professional relationship, Benjamin and Anissa fell in love whilst Eric was building himself a new career in Berlin where they were now based. Fast forward to February 2086 and Anissa had just given birth to a little girl who she knew was Benjamin’s in her heart, but had been pretending was Eric’s for the entire pregnancy because she was scared that he would hurt her or the baby. Once born, it was clear that the baby was Benjamin’s by her appearance and within months Eric and Anissa were divorced and Anissa was able to leave the witness protection program alongside her new husband Benjamin and their daughter Odaline.

It was then that Benjamin found out about Anissa’s magical abilities and that there was a chance their daughter would also. The family moved countries every eighteen months with Benjamin’s work contracts and gained another daughter, Ingrid, into their family just a couple of years after Odaline. When the time came for Odaline to take up her schooling at Hogwarts, the family relocated to London and Benjamin took up a more permanent contract with the Metropolitan Police force.

SPOILER!!: the real version of events

Alissa Reid married Eric Gotobed in the August of 2074, just weeks after her graduation from Beauxbatons and after meeting him. Alissa and Eric ran in opposite social circles, gangs as you may call them, and the idea to get married was pitched by Alnissa and accepted by Eric just five days after they first met. Things went well for many years, until Anissa witnessed the death of her best friend in 2084 and she and her husband were taken into protective custody and given identities as Anissa Reid and Eric Beddington. It quickly became evident to Eric that things were not as they had seemed when his wife gave birth to their first daughter that looked nothing like him and more like their handler, Benjamin Buchanan.

In a heated exchange between the three of them, Benjamin revealed that the entire marriage had been an elaborate scheme to get all the information that Eric had on the group that Anissa had been involved with and that he had been in charge of. The death of Anissa’s best friend was a lie and so was this protective custody.

Eric Beddington was never seen or heard from again.

Benjamin and Anissa married just weeks after their daughter Odaline had been born and welcomed another child Ingrid a short time after. They kept their family on the move to avoid their past catching up on them before deciding when it was time for Odaline to begin her wizarding education to move permanently to London keeping the identity they had taken on in 2084 at the beginning of their witness protection. The Buchanan family now reside a quiet Essex borough, happily without any ties to their old lives.

Well that’s what they want you to think…
