Rough Background
Odette was born as her mother died, and for that she was forever cursed in her family's eye's. To add to this she was always a strange child, quiet, but strong willed, animals stayed away from her.
At 9 her father was convinced to sell her, something she has been grateful to him ever since. it was fate which brought Aven ex Mecere to her village that summer on his final stop before heading back to Duramar. At tribunal she was claimed under the code by Antiona ex Bonisagus, a Trianomist and elementalist looking for her first apprentice.
The first two years of her life as an apprentice she blossomed. Not only studying under Antiona but spending all the time should could in the great library and talking to those mages who would.
Much of her time until she was 20 was spent travelling around the Rhine & Provence tribunal Next came almost 5 years of travel, as Antonia was charged with liaising with the Thebian tribunal. Although Odette disliked travel, Thebes presented her to study Vis as never before and it became one of her specialities.
At 25 she was gauntleted and posted to Provence as her Parens eye's and ears.
In truth Odette, now Helena is a disappointment to her Parens, although without doubt a good student ,and from her minor essays will one day be an excellent master, her insistence on mastering one Element rather than all, while she accepts it is a worthy cause, she would rather be in the library, or hunting for lost knowledge rather than holding the order together.
