Odessa is quite comparable to an artistic statue, that's for sure. A stunning young woman, martyred for the cause of freedom. She'll look perfect as a lawn ornament in front of Palom's dorms... what, did you expect the Mystian prodigy to be <i>nice?</i> Palom's gift of gab and magicks are equally impressive compared to Odessa's pathos. He won't get much more than a (rather painful!) slap from Odessa with his mouth, but his various status attacks sure as hell will get a cruel reaction. The only thing Palom has to fear besides meeting Flik in a dark alley is Odessa's Wind of Sleep spell. Good thing that Palom's an evasive little bugger to status, and Odessa can claim no such thing against Palom's own hellish ailments.
