The beautiful ballerina, Odette, is finally available. Let's find out her references together.
Odette
Odette is the main character in Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake." She is an enchanted swan who transforms into a beautiful girl under the moonlight, and the spell can only be broken by true love. One day, Prince Siegfried sees her and swears his love to her, but later at the ball, he chooses not Odette, but Odile — Odette's doppelganger and the daughter of the evil sorcerer who cursed Odette. In the ballet, she is depicted as a black swan, and Odette as a white one. When Siegfried realises his mistake, he returns to the swan lake to confront the sorcerer, but the water swallows both the prince and Odette.
Odile is also featured in the game, this is the role played by our Odette, also a black swan (and a doppelganger during the Elemental Skill). One such performance is recorded in the book Polestar Ballet Anthology.
Spessiva
Odette's surname is Spessiva, a reference to the great ballerina Olga Spessivtseva, who performed the role of Odette. Because her surname is quite difficult to pronounce, she was often called "Spessiva" during her performances abroad, and this variation was chosen by hoyo.
Adagio and Presto
Odette's elemental skill and burst refer to the musical tempos of the works. Adagio is a slow tempo, and presto is a fast tempo.
Spring Rite of the Chosen One
Odette's passive talent is a reference to Stravinsky's ballet "The Rite of Spring." The ballet is based on a ritual in which the chosen girl dances to her death to summon the spring.
Pathetique of Pateticheskaya
This passive talent is a reference to Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 in B minor, also called "Pateticheskaya."
Lelek
I doubt it's a reference, but in Finno-Ugric culture, lelek is the vital principle of the human body — a part of the soul inseparable from the body, manifested as vapor.
Cygnus Olor
Odette's constellation is named after a mute swan. This swan is a character in the fairy tale The Ugly Duckling, and there's also a legend about it: the mute swan never sings and performs only once before its death. This farewell song is called a swan song.
Therefore, a swan song signifies the last or farewell great work.
