### Type of Hero

Disillusioned Vigilante

**Odessa** is a major protagonist in the AMC series *Into the Badlands*.

She was once a Doll prostitute who belonged to Baron Quinn before being liberated by the Widow's forces. She then became a Butterfly Clipper to help dismantle the current systems of the Badlands and entered into a romantic relationship with Tilda, the Widow's daughter. Together, the two of them eventually became disillusioned from the Widow due to her hypocrisy and become outlaws working to help war refugees.

She was portrayed by Maddison Jaizani.

## Her Good Ranking

### Her Heroic Deeds

* She becomes a Butterfly Clipper for the Widow in order to aid her in the mission to take down the other Barons and dismantle the oppressive system of the Badlands.
* She convinces Tilda to attend the Conclave in order to keep her mother safe due to the danger the Widow is putting herself in by meeting with the other Barons, this results in Tilda saving Waldo's life.
* After the Widow decides to work with Quinn, Odessa nearly abandons her since she used to be a Cog for Quinn, and only stays due to her love for Tilda.
* After Tilda and Bajie turn against the Widow and are imprisoned, Odessa breaks them out of prison and the group flee the Widow's territory together.
* She helps Tilda act as a vigilante outlaw that fights against both the Widow and Chau and help refugees from the war.
* When she is captured by the Widow in order to gain information about what Tilda is doing, Odessa refuses to give her anything and even openly mocks her over the fact that all of the Widow's allies are turning against her.

### Why Doesn't She Stand Out?

* She doesn't meet the admirable standards to characters such as Sunny or Bajie who actively fight to save the world, whereas Odessa's motivation is her relationship with Tilda and she ultimately abandons helping the refugees.
* She is extremely rude and judgmental at times, believing that M.K. is evil because she saw him kill people when his Gift was activated, and refusing to listen to the explanation that he cannot control himself when he is in that state.
* It's her fault that Bajie and M.K. are imprisoned by the Widow since she saw them attempted to steal the Azran book for her and reported it despite claiming to hate the Widow for helping Quinn.
* While she does eventually help Tilda and Bajie escape, she doesn't want to go back for M.K. due to her refusal to believe he isn't a monster.
* During her time helping Tilda fight against the Widow and Chau the two of them both kill a multitude of Clippers, many of which are likely not malicious
* She decides that she is done fighting in the war, which is understandable, but she asks that Tilda also give up on helping the refugees, and breaks up with her when she won't.
