Odessa is a character from the Filipino "
telefantasya " saga "Encantadia " produced byGMA Network . She appears in Books 2 and 3 of the series. Odessa was played byFilipina actressPauleen Luna .Character Background
Odessa is a "Heran" (noble) from Hera Aega (House Aega), one of the four noble houses of the kingdom of Etheria. She is the daughter of As'nan, the chieftainess of Hera Aega.
She found Ybrahim in the forest and fell in love with him. Because it is strictly forbidden for an Aega to fall in love, she was banished from her house. She made Ybrahim fall in love with her using her enchanted bow and arrow. She then named him Alexus which means an "encantado" with only one love. Alena had come across Ybrahim and she knew he was her husband. She sought the truth from the Batis ng Katotohanan and found out that it was Ybrahim. By this Alena will take vengeance to the Etherians.
She also brought Amihan and Alena to the tribe of the Adjantao.
In the final episode of "Etheria", Odessa is revealed to be carrying Ybrahim's child at the time of the kingdom's fall.
Odessa was revived in the third book of "Encantadia": "Encantadia: Pag-ibig Hanggang Wakas" by
Ether , and was elated to find out that her child with Alexus/Ybrahim is also alive. But the birth of her baby caused much doubt about her loyalty to the Herans' mission of reviving their kingdom. This eventually lead to her own demise in the hands of her very own queen,Avria .Just like Pirena who Emre and Galatea considered a candidate to go to Devas after death, she was also sent to Devas with a condition to repent for what she did to Alena and Ybrahim. She shows up again to meet with
Arman , her son and tell him that his father is Ybrahim.Her personality could be somewhat compared to her arch-rival, Alena. She has a strong affection towards love especially easily falling for Ybrahim. She is even considered to be kind-natured and motherly just like Alena. This is one of the reasons why before knowing that they are enemies, they were able to relate to one another. Had it not been for alliances and Ybrahim, these two girls could have been friends. Emotion was the one thing she could not control within herself but ironically could control others' emotions.
