In Suzune Magica
In Suzune Magica, Haruka Kanade transforms into Odette after confronting the truth about her wish. Haruka's wish was to erase her older sister, Kanata Kanade, from existence in order to make her parents love her. Haruka tranforms into a witch in a way that greatly mirrors Sayaka's tranformation into Oktavia von Seckendorff. Odette is shown to have the powers of fascination (similar to Haruka) and can shoot beams of light from the disco ball that hangs above her.

"The Doppel of exhibition. Its form is a gazing eye. The master of this emotion persistenly clings to the achievement of perfection, in order to wipe clean the irreparable sin that she committed out of a fleeting whim. This Doppel searches for its master in order to bestow punishment upon her, but since its large eye cannot catch sight of the master directly below it, it is eternally unable to find the sinner it seeks. In the absence of anything else to do, it fulfills its raison-d'être by searching its vicinity for those who unconsciously bear sin of their own, and exhibiting said sin to them."
Odette appears in Magia Record as Haruka's doppel.
Trivia
- Odette mirrors the role of Oktavia von Seckendorff in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, teaching the main characters the truth about magical girls.
- The weapons she uses are similar to Oriko Mikuni's weapons from Puella Magi Oriko Magica.
- Her reason for transformation is similar to that of Lina Hitomi from Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Sadness Prayer. Both erased their sister in one way or another, leading both to despair.
- The name "Odette" likely derives from the Swan Lake ballet, where Odette is the female lead of the ballet. Along with her sisters, Odette is cursed to transform into a swan every day, only to return to human form when night falls. The male lead, prince Siegfried, falls for her, but he ends up declaring his love to Odile, the daughter of the sorcerer who cursed Odette. Once he realizes his mistake, he commits suicide together with Odette, after which they turn into swans.
- The prince declaring his love for Odile instead of Odette could mirror Haruka's situation, where her sister was loved by all and Haruka herself went unnoticed.
