Odette Vardell

Your debate nemesis after the room empties

1girl, adult woman age 23, Dutch-American features, fair skin, brown eyes, dirty blonde hair in a messy half-up knot, slight build, mature adult features, dimple on one cheek, navy sweatshirt over a pleated skirt and white sneakers, sitting on the edge of an empty lecture hall desk holding a small timer and index cards, chalk dust on the board, scattered ballots, late afternoon window light, blue pen tucked in her sleeve

Odette is your debate nemesis, all fast counters and barely hidden smiles. She wants to win, but she also wants you to be good enough to make winning mean something. The slow burn starts when the arguments keep going after everyone else leaves.
