Background

Kara Price II was born April 8, 2009 to Kara Price, an experiment in creating abilities synthetically. Not long after, she was stolen away by Hiro Nakamura and hidden in the past, where she grew up as Odessa Knutson, a motherless, fatherless child. Estranged and strange. The Company cultivated her to be ruthlessly efficient. They wound up with a bespoke psychopath who — after a stint in Moab Penitentiary for robbing banks — was eventually taken in by Pinehearst and Arthur Petrelli, where she was reunited with her mother and given a new purpose.

She has some answers about who she is now and what happened to divide her from her family. She's fiercely devoted to Kara Price, and there’s little Odessa wouldn’t do for her. Or for her husband, James Woods, for that matter.

Currently, she is searching for Kaito Nakamura and ready to establish a relationship with Hiro Nakamura to exploit, in order to ascertain his father's whereabouts. This may be (read: is, unofficially) secondary to her mission to recover her mother from an alternate timeline.

Psych Profile

Odessa Woods has a cruel streak a mile wide that’s been cultivated over the years by the masters she’s served. While she harbors a profound kindness and compassion for those she cares for, she also has very little problem doing whatever it takes to further Arthur’s agenda, or her own. She can be persuaded, but it would require shaking her foundations exceptionally, which might be dangerous.

Evolved Ability

Odessa stops time. Thanks, Advent!

Her suffering was her armor.
Gradually, it became her skin.
Then she could not take it off.

Relationships

Loyal

Kara		Odessa's mother. Cruel circumstance (and, supposedly, Hiro Nakamura) separated daughter from mother at birth. After they found one another again, the two were determined to make up for years displaced and lost. The disappearance of Kara Price in 2011 was a terrible blow to Odessa and set her on a path to do whatever it takes to get her back.
Mateo		Javier de Santos - Mateo Ruiz - comes from another world, and Odessa had been set to determine how that happened and what it meant for her own. She found herself genuinely fond of the man, and hoped if it came down to it, she could use the relationship they've built to convince him to join her in protecting their world. After all, she'd seen what his counterpart was capable of, and she'd rather have it on her side. That he's her brother is a revelation she hasn't fully come to terms with. It means she murdered her own brother on orders from the man she trusted to look after her family. She has yet to admit to her crime - isn't sure she ever will - but vows to make up for it by protecting this other Ruiz and his family.
Lynette		Lynette Ruiz is both widow and wife of Odessa's brother. String jumping is complicated, but it means that she's family. Even after admitting to her role as a spy, Lynette still welcomed Odessa with open arms. Her kind and gentle nature inspires Odessa to be kinder herself. She may have miles to go, but she's working on it.

Connected

Harrison Liz		After arriving in the Wasteland, Elisabeth Harrison approached to explain her connection to Odessa's otherworld counterpart. The two have begun to bond over their sense of loneliness in their journeys. Liz has encouraged Odessa to pursue James Woods, but warned her to temper her expectations. Now in the flooded world, the two have bonded further, with Liz pledging to help however she can to help Odessa have a normal life in her world. If they makes it to her world. While Odessa remains optimistic, that doesn't mean she remains without doubt.
Destiny		Get off my lawn.

Wary

Varlane		Magnes Varlane's role in the unraveling of Odessa's life as she knows it is greater than she realizes. For now, she knows he predicted their jump to the wasteland and didn't see fit to warn anyone. That is enough to make her wary of him. His propensity to shoot his mouth off and believe he knows how to take control of a situation resulted in the death of James Woods of the flooded world. She will never forgive him.
Doyle		Eric Doyle is a caretaker of children in this world. What the fuck?

Prey

Kenner		Don Kenner appears to be the force standing between Odessa and whatever rift in the veil will allow her and hers to make the jump to the next world. He will step aside, or she will remove him from the equation. Now that he's murdered Woods, there is no curtailing her wrath.

In Another World

Eve		One of the leaders of the Resistance, Eve Mas was there to mount a rescue when the string jumpers arrived in the wasteland. That alone has earned Odessa's respect. The seer is nuttier than a fruitcake, but it appears to be keeping people alive. She'll watch and see what happens from here.
Rowan		Odessa doesn't like the way this Lynette looks at Ruiz. The two have already had a tense stand off, but seem content to circle around one another for now. Maybe she'll come around.

Lost

James		Odessa has known James Woods since she was just a pawn of the Company. She would stitch him up after a scrape and treated him with more compassion than she did most others. When she nearly lost him, something clicked and she realized she actually cared for him. For reasons she can't begin to guess, he felt the same, and the two married. Woods is Odessa's rock when she finds herself uncertain of her path and she's his biggest cheerleader. The two may be an unlikely pair, but it works for them.
Hati		Once a member of Kazimir Volken's Vanguard, Odessa was sent to dispatch Hati before he could become a threat. Now, she knows he may have been her brother. The revelation is tearing her apart.
Woods		James Woods was a haunted man, with Odessa Price hanging about him like a spectre. His claim seemed to have some merit, as he could tell her things about herself that only she should know. Whether this spirit could be exorcised remains unclear. Furthermore, James wasn't sure he wanted to be rid of this apparition of the woman who saved his life. For once, Odessa knew that what she would like out of this scenario was irrelevant. All she really wanted was for him to be happy, whatever the outcome. Even if that was without her. She supposes that's what proves she really loved the James Woods she married, and that he made her a better person.
Jimmy		James Woods — Jimmy to his ward — looked after Destiny Ruiz. There was a special pain in that discovery. After what happened in the wasteland world, Odessa decided to keep her distance for fear that her presence would be a dark shadow over him and bring danger to his doorstep. Though it seems the circumstances conspired to cause that all the same, and she was powerless to protect him. She'll find a way to avenge him. For herself. For him. For Destiny.
Arthur		The only thing that stood between Brooke Lynwood and Moab Penitentiary was Arthur Petrelli. Rather than lock her up and throw away the key, he saw her potential and offered her a better life. Odessa Knutson didn't exist. Odessa Price, however, could have a normal life. As normal as life gets for an assassin, at any rate. He reunited her with her mother and gave her the tools she needed to forge her own path. Odessa owes Arthur everything, and while her immense respect is tempered by an undercurrent of (healthy) fear, she believes that Arthur has her best interests in mind. Just so long as those best interests continue to be in his.
Hiro		Nice sword, asshole.
Roger		Liar, liar.
