**Odalia Blight** (オダリア・ブライト, *Odaria Buraito*) is the CEO of Blight Industries, the former wife of Alador, and the mother of Edric, Emira, and Amity.

A scheming, greedy and tyrannical woman, Odalia held a controlling grasp on the interests of her employees and other members in the Blight family, playing a role that emboldened them with high expectations to vicariously satisfy Odalia's ambitions.

In order to obtain more influence, she colluded with Emperor Belos, supplying him an army through her company in a flawed attempt to ensure her family's survival during the Day of Unity. This revelation ultimately causes her family to sever all ties with Odalia, leaving her to depart with them on bitter terms. After the Day of Unity, she aligns with The Collector in an attempt to manipulate him, only to be reduced to a mere servant.

## Description

### Appearance

Odalia is a witch with a curvaceous build contrasted by the sharp features in her face. She has tufted hair similar to Amity's, but it is a two-toned mint green, lighter on the top layer and darker on the bottom layer, a trait she shares with her eldest children, Edric and Emira, with a lighter streak across the top. Unlike the rest of her family, Odalia has blue eyes.

As a teenager, she strongly resembled Amity, but with natural mint green hair that was in the same hairstyle as it is in adulthood.

Odalia wears a violet blouse with a white petticoat that has a triple interlocking orb pattern, navy pants, and gray heeled boots. While serving The Collector, her blouse is lighter in color with gold rings and frills halfway along the sleeves, while the other halves of the sleeves become pink. Her vest is now light purple and has purple and light pink star patterns on it. Her pants are now two-toned with a diamond on both knee areas, and her boots are now indigo with pink bands around the ankles and yellow star patterns on the toes.

In Odalia's youth, she wore a dress in a low-tied bun.

During her days as a student at Hexside, she wore a Hexside school uniform with purple sleeves and leggings as a member of the oracle track, and two-tone black boots.

### Personality

As a businesswoman, Odalia is a controlling woman whose haughty and elitist thinking makes her a domineering influence on anyone around her, including her family. She is shown to be highly concerned about her family's reputation to the point where she'll interfere with her children's personal lives and opinions to ensure they stay in line, even silencing her own children when they wish to speak their mind on the matter. This is evident by how she uses her oracle magic to telepathically keep Amity in line via matching amulets that allow Odalia to directly speak to Amity in her mind. Additionally, it was Odalia who forced Amity to end her friendship with Willow due to her weak magical abilities and lower social status, making her be "friends" with Boscha and Skara instead since they came from more respectable families.

Odalia claims to be an honorable woman, always reciting her family's motto, but in actuality, has proven to have every intention of going back on her word on numerous occasions, showing that this is nothing but hypocrisy. When something doesn't end up going as she planned, she has to be told how it can potentially benefit her. Not only underhanded, Odalia has a duplicitous side in how she offered to let Luz, Willow, and Gus back into Hexside if Luz assisted her and her husband with a demonstration of their company products, but it was revealed to have actually been a plot to eliminate Luz completely. She is also quite greedy, which is evident when Amity ruined a Blight Industries demonstration and lost many investors willing to buy their products, causing her to become furious with her younger daughter.

During the Day of Unity, when it is revealed that Odalia knows about the true nature of the event, she is shown to not care about it, fully believing that she and her family will enjoy great prosperity in the "new world" once Belos' plan comes to fruition. When Alador and her children try to reason with her, she willingly brushes them off and goes to great lengths, explaining that they are not going to hinder her without a single care for their feeling or opinions. This shows that Odalia cares about keeping her family ahead of everyone else, regardless of how her family feels and whether or not they actually agree with her.

Odalia's abusive and apathetic behavior towards her family leads them to turn their back on her; even after she lost everything she had worked for, she refuses to show her remorse over her actions and poor treatment of her family and parts ways with them. She also refused to learn from her past actions, as she wasn't happy that she was reduced into a servant to the Collector and when she's seeing Amity reunited with Alador.

## Etymology

* Odalia's name is originated from the Germanic name odalys, which means "wealth". This fits her, as the Blight family is very affluent. The name of Odalia was first revealed in a charity stream hosted by Dana Terrace on September 16, 2020.

## Trivia

* Odalia's appearance in the "Understanding Willow" storyboards is very similar to that of Lilith.
* Prior to her full appearance in "Escaping Expulsion", Dana Terrace mentioned in a Reddit AMA that her hair is green, the same as Edric and Emira's.
	+ The same comment also stated Odalia had Amity dye her hair green because she likes her children to be "color-coordinated". This was later confirmed in "Through the Looking Glass Ruins".
	+ Also, according to Dana's Reddit AMA, Odalia has had a rivalry with Boscha's mother since childhood and they still try to one up each other through their daughters' accomplishments.
* Odalia is the only character in the series to address Luz by her full name besides Luz herself.
