Born into a poor family, Odell grew up to believe there wasn't much in life for them. They found ease in life's hardships in song and dance, first an admirer than a participant. Sure, they had siblings and family, but there was little time to play when there was so much work to do. At age 15, they decided it was time to leave. They said their goodbyes to their family and promised to send letters and spare money when they could. Their heart had always sang elsewhere.
Where Odell went, misfortune followed. Any odd job they tried did not end well. The establishment closed, burned down, was bought out, etc. They had seen it all. A few years had gone by with little good to come from Odell's vagabond lifestyle. They had been ready to turn tail and head home when suddenly, a good opportunity had arisen. A former star of a traveling troupe, Serafeim Vitalis, was nearby and taking apprentices. Something about rebuilding their troupe to its former glory. Odell could not resist.
Odell excelled in this line of work, a graceful dancer with a beautiful voice to match. But alas, good things never last and Odell's ill luck would yet again catch up to them. The troupe had crumbled before it could hit fame and fortune. This time, at least, Odell would take their skills and move on elsewhere. Even after this devastating blow, things had begun to look up. They began performing on the streets and in taverns, earning just enough to scrape by.
It was in a tavern in a bustling port town that they found a new home. A shy man, Sole Caro, a Gallade, had taken a fancy to Odell. He had come from a bit of money, and in their courtship he spoiled Odell. The two had fallen deeply in love with each other very fast. 'True love,' they had called it. Odell moved into Sole's flat, They spent a wild year together, enjoying life and each other.
But Odell must have been cursed, as once again tragedy struck. Sole had fallen ill so suddenly, one day being fine and the next completely unable to move unassisted. Doctor's had been summoned in, even great ones from larger cities. But none could figure out what had befallen Sole. A long and grueling month after Sole had fallen ill, he had passed away. Odell was devastated. On top of that, Sole's family had come to their little home and taken everything of his. Odell, once again, was left with nothing. They had taken what was theirs and left again, unable to stand being on the island that had been their place.
The next two years blurred together in a dense fog. News from their family had alerted them to their father's passing. They were too far from home to even visit, sending money in their stead. Odell had needed to make real money, and yet again an opportunity too good to be true fell in front of them. They had heard of a Guild with plenty of jobs for people to take, they just needed to be apart of a team.
Odell made their way to Kala Island to attempt to join a team, really it could be any. It was by a rare stroke of luck did they see a familiar face. Serafeim Vitalis, their old mentor. With a little convincing, Serafeim was able to assist in getting Odell a spot on Team Precious Lazulis. A Bounty Hunter team wasn't their ideal situation, but like always, they would make do.
