Odessa Irwin

Odessa, (Οδεσσα in Ancient Greek), or known as Odessa Irwin is one of the main protagonists in Whitmore, and one of the main characters. Odessa is a human, or so she thought. Odessa appears to be a regular human girl but is then revealed to be a Hood doppelgänger. Whereas her progenitor is Vasilisa and she has countless of ancestors from that same bloodline that were all doppelgängers of each other.

She has a striking similar appearance to Vasilisa, that even Cain and Sebastian mistook Odessa for her. When she turned eighteen, she became a vampire despite not wanting to ever be one herself. Her personality changes once she becomes a vampire, a “younger naïve sad girl” turned into a “strong woman”. Her personality development has definitely changed for the better, and she tells herself that she has healed from her scars.

Odessa was born in Whitmore, Virginia in 1992, July 7th. She is 27 years old at the present time. When she was 17, her parents died in a fatal mystical car-accident. Ever since she has been living with her aunt and struggled to live a normal life ever since she became a vampire, at age 18. When she was 18, she met Cain at a park in Whitmore. They got to know each other better and inevitably became a couple. Cain did not want to hide his dark secret anymore and told Odessa. She did not frighten him and told him she accepted him as to how he was, Cain was very in love with Odessa at that moment. However he could not control his hunger, and he snapped. He fed on Odessa, draining her dry of blood, killing her instantly.

She died with vampire blood in her system and became a vampire. She despised Cain for making her a vampire when she did not want to be one in the first place. Odessa vowed to find a cure to vampirism, but Cain only laughed in her face saying there was none and that she should accept the gift he gave to her. At that she became angry and told him that he did not get to decide how her life would end. She wanted to grow old and get kids someday, but now that she had turned into a vampire she is forever resentful of him.

Odessa is the last living member of the Hood Family and a member of the Irwin Family.
