:History:.
King William wanted nothing more than an heir, when his beloved wife told him she was pregnant he was ecstatic. the queen's stomach grew and as it did she grew weak, she knew she wouldn't survive to see her child grow up. she made her husband promise to love the child... the product of their true love. she told him not to be sad when she passed but be happy that they had a child. on the day the queen gave birth she gave up her life for her daughter. the king took the baby into his arms, the last thing he and his wife had created. he presented his daughter Odette to the kingdom.
Soon King William presented his daughter at the ball celebrating her birth, there the king stuck up an agreement Queen Uberta from a neighboring kingdom that his daughter and her son would one day marry to unite the two kingdoms. now, before the queen died she left letters to king william and one letter stated that he would allow their daughter to marry for love, just as they had. to keep to his wife's wishes he said that the marriage would only happen if they fell in love, so to make the children fall in love they decided the two would spend every summer together.
Odette and Derek were as different as a cat is to a jack-a-lope. derek didn't want to spend anytime with a girl who was three years younger and odette didn't want to spend her summer with a boy who didn't want to play with her dolls. Years went on the the two weren't getting along any better as they grew. every summer something new happened, odette ditched in the woods, derek kicked by a horse, odette hit with a tomato, derek falling from his tree house. the king and queen began to think that the dream they had of uniting their kingdoms was not going to happen.
One summer odette and derek meet again, this time something is different. the two dance together and Odette looks into the eyes of the boy she was forced to spend her summers with. there was a strange feeling that moved through her body and she felt her cheeks grow hot. the two stopped dancing and derek told his mother that they would get married, odette was happy but then she frowned, what had changed her mind. she asked Derek why he wanted to marry her and he told her she was beautiful to which she responded "is beauty all that matters to you?" Derek was at a loss for words and asked "What else is there?". heart broken Odette told him she could not marry him, she and her father left the castle soon after. king william and queen uberta were both devastated that all their planning was wasted.
While traveling back home Odette listened to a lecture from her father about her being too picky that Derek really did love her, but she wasn't listening. she wanted a man who could say he loved her for just being her... not for being beautiful. the lecture was cut short when the carriage was attacked. Odette witnessed her father being attacked, then she blacked out.
When she woke up she was laying in the grass nearby her castle. she shook her head and looked around, there was no one to be found. usually people were always running around the grounds, she jumped at the sounds of footsteps. she turned to look who was coming to her dismay it wasn't anyone who would help her... it was Rothbart. Rothbart had been one of her father's trusted friend's and the castle sorcerer. when he plotted to take over the kingdom her father banished him unable to put to death his dear friend. Rothbart told odette that he wanted the kingdom, and the best way was to marry her. she refused but Rothbart only laughed, he told her she would change her mind. with a wave of his hand he turned her into a swan, she would only be human if she was in the water as the moon touched the surface... and that was only until the sunrise. the only way she would ever be human for good was if she agreed to marry him.
Odette knew that Derek would find her, she believed that maybe he did love her... he only needed to find it in himself to love a woman for more than her face. days turned to months and soon a year passed, no one came to find her and odette started to give up hope that Derek would ever come and save her. her fears were soon put to rest when she was flying with one of her friends puffin, thats when she saw him... Derek. she knew that she had to get him back to the lake, she made sure he saw her... a beautiful swan. No hunter would want to pass that up, she lured him to the lake just as the sun was setting. she landed in the water and waited for the moon to touch the water, with only seconds before derek shot her the moon appeared like an angel. the water wrapped around the swan and soon in the swan's place stood the lost princess. she told derek the only way to break the spell was true love, he had to declare his love to her in a vow... a vow of ever lasting love. he agreed and told her to come to the ball his mother was holing the following night. she kissed him and agreed to find a way to get there.
When Rothbart found out the plan he confronted odette, he reminded her that the night of the party there would be no moon... that meant she would not be turned human. Rothbart knew he had to punish Derek and Odette and his plan was to have Derek unknowingly kill the woman he loved. He disguised his daughter as Odette with magic and sent her to the ball. Derek made his vow to oldie not odette. this did the opposite of saving odette it was going to kill her, when derek realized his mistake he rushed to Odette's side. He held her in his arms as he died, in anger he hunted down Rothbart who had used magic to turn into a monster "the great animal" and killed him. He rushed back to odette kissing her one last time, true love's kiss brought her back. the couple had only been married a year when the curse hit, derek was away from the kingdom when the curse hit.storybrook- during the curse
During the curse of course she had no memory of her old life, she was known around town as Ariette Audet Svan. she was the local ballet teacher and sometimes a swim teacher when one would like to learn how to swim. Her whole life was wrapped up in the ballet studio. She didn't have much of a social life except the other people who worked at the studio even though they were just maintenance men for the studio. She kept to herself around Storybrook if she wasn't teaching and never got to know Mary, David, or Emma.storybrook- after he curse
Now that the curse is broken Odette is trying to get a hold of her life, she has not been reunited with Derek. She hasn't seen him in town and is heart broken. She goes by both Odette and Ariette seeing as both people are herself. Her memories in storybrook exist and her memories of the enchanted forest exist. she is still trying to sort out what person she wants to be. She wants to return to the enchanted forest to her kingdom and hopefully she will find Derek

Ariette gracefully walked along the sidewalk to granny’s diner. She had just been at the ballet studio practicing. She had to cut practice off short due to her stomach deciding it needed to roar with complaints. She realized she hadn’t eaten all day and it was already almost dinnertime. She hadn’t really changed, just took off her ballet shoes and put on a black pair of flats. She still wore her pink stockings, black leotard, and white ballet skirt over all of that she wore a light jacket. she didn’t really have someone to eat with so she figured she would just sit up at the bar and get a quick bite to eat.
Ring....Ring
The belle chimed as the young blonde walked through the door. She didn’t really look around just made it to the counter and grabbed one of the menus. She hated always getting the same thing, Now that her memory was back she could change things up. She didn’t have to feel incomplete any more. When the server came over to her Ari ordered a ice water. she was still unsure what she wanted to eat.
“Could you give me a little longer?” the princess asked politely when the server returned with the water, she didn’t know why deciding what to eat was so hard. she used to run a kingdom, now she couldn’t even deiced what to eat for dinner.
