Swan Swagmire

## **OFFICIAL BIO**

**Odette Suarez Quagmire** is the titular character famously known as **Swan Swagmire** in Swan Song, serving as its main protagonist. When Swan's parents, **Siegfried Quagmire** and **Dorothy Suarez**, fall victim to the mafia run by Sotto Voce, Felipe Gonzalo adopts Swan and takes on the role of her legal guardian, mentor, and adoptive father. Swan's childhood best friend and longtime crush is Miles Meyer, and she views Langley Langston as her enemy. Whenever Gonzalo isn't around, she is being looked after by Gonzalo's closest friend, Serio Dominguez.

## **BACKGROUND**

Swan, born Odette Quagmire, was born to **Dorothy Suarez** and **Siegfried Quagmire** on July 7th, 2017. When she was just a little over three years old, she and her family become involved in a robbery in Teatro Real; the criminals are looking for the Pink Star, which would eventually be the reason for the murder of her parents. The orphaned Odette would be raised by Felipe Gonzalo, the detective assigned to the case.

## **PERSONALITY**

Swan is repeatedly shown to be knowledgeable and skilled in combat, being raised primarily by Gonzalo. Swan is a young adolescent who, despite having her behavior and ways be described as "chaotic", is determined to uphold moral principles even if it means breaking the law. She also has a reputation for being brazenly stubborn as she would do anything to hold her loved ones near and bring her parents to justice.

She may be independent and passionate about the things she loves doing, but Swan still considers herself a child and longs for a happy childhood even though she is far past that period of her life. Due to the death of her parents, Swan missed out on a lot of her younger years since she spent it assisting Gonzalo with his cases. She is shown acting childishly and immature in a lot of ways but becomes serious when push comes to shove.

## **SKILLS AND ABILITIES**

Swan possesses a number of useful albeit less-than-legal skillsets to aid her investigations. Thanks to the aid of Gonzalo, her skills are to a high level.

* **High-Level Intellect:** Swan is highly intelligent and knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects:
	+ **Self Defense:** Gonzalo has taught Swan the vital targets for self defense when she was in middle school, as well as timing her attacks correctly and how to get out of duct tape, ropes, or anything that may restrain her.
		- **Speed:** She moves with incredible speed and agility. She can jump and land from great heights, easily knocking out someone who is bigger than her, and move quickly enough to intercept and knock out a member of a highly skilled and experienced member of the mafia.
		- **Reflexes:** Swan also has remarkably quick reflexes, and her level of balance is also impressive.
	+ **Chemistry Skills:** Swan has basic understanding of how chemicals react to one another and what their effects are, such as knowing bleach and alcohol would produce chloroform.
	+ **Lock Picking:** This skill isn't limited to picking locks—Swan can quickly think of ways to get in and out of something or somewhere, such as breaking into the IRIS jet using Gonzalo's fingerprint from a glass and helping Langley escape the Wall, well-known for its tight security in Madrid.
	+ **Lip Reading:** Swan also studied lip-reading online to allow her to "eavesdrop" on conversations from a distance. This has made it easier for her to understand what people are saying when she is not in close proximity.
* **Various Scout Skills:** She has acquired numerous outdoor skills as a girl scout when she was younger, like collecting wood, recognizing various plants, survival techniques, etc.

## **PHYSICAL APPEARANCE**

Swan has jet-black hair that falls just inches past her shoulders her and is parted to the left of her head. Her bangs are cut slightly below her eyebrows. No matter what she is wearing, Swan is constantly sporting her mother's engagement ring, as well as the IRIS watch that Marston Meyer gives her in Case #2: The Monster with 21 Faces. She is described as being 5'0" tall and having a somewhat slim and small physique.

## **TRIVIAS**

* Rin Aguinaldo had absolutely no reason to name Swan that way. She only thought of a name on the spot and came up with it. However, story-wise, Dorothy, Swan's mother, named Swan "Odette", because her father's name, Siegfried, is the name of Odette's love interest from Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's *Swan Lake*.
	+ Her last name is a combination of the slang "swag", and the actual surname "Quagmire".
	+ Her name's pronunciation is an alliteration of S and W; ***Sw**an **Sua**rez **Sw**agmire*.
		- If there will be translations of the story, her Japanese name would be "Shiratori Hakucho" which isn't an alliteration like "Swan Swagmire"; it's a case of redundancy instead. "Shiratori Hakucho" literally means "swan swan" when translated to English. For a Spanish translation, her name is "Swan Suarez".
* Swan's chaotic good persona is based on *Robin Hood*, who is known to steal from the rich and give them to the poor.
* Swan has *Swedish Fish* and root beer as cravings and comfort food.
* Gonzalo is the only person who calls her by "Odette", her actual name.
* Rin had one crucial part of the inside joke she purposely changed: Swan actually helping Gonzalo with his cases as part of her "training", which would be the reason why Swan has to sport her iconic outfit, with her low space buns, baker boy hat, and double-breasted jacket. She changes this to Swan's infiltration outfit when she and Langley steal the IRIS orbs. This is due to the fact that no one would approve of Swan being in Gonzalo's place of work and would rather do things in her own terms.
