Odessa

Odessa Bove, the 'Deaf Girl' is a contestant on Total Drama Alpharama as a member of Team Alpha.

Profile
Odessa was born with a hearing disability that severely hampered her social skills... though she can still talk to her parents, as well as her friends at school, by reading lips and picking up on their movements. She has keen eyesight, taste, touch, and smell... it's just her hearing that's the problem.

Despite her hearing problem Odessa has no problem making friends, after all, it isn't everyday you meet somebody as sweet and special as Odessa. And who knows; maybe Odessa will make a few specila friends, in more ways than one.

You can tell Odessa is into sign language, and she has come up with signs for each of her 25 fellow competitors. Though if any of them vote her off, she may have to come up with new signs for them... ones they probably wouldn't like. She hopes that her kind nature won't force her to use any of them.

Coverage
In Bring Your A Game Odessa is the fifteenth introduced. She at first doesn't respond to Chris's introduction and only when he yells does she say something. She reveals she didn't respond because she is deaf. In the confessional Odessa says she is honored to be the first deaf contestant on Total Drama; she says she wants to preove she can get along fine despite her disability. She also says she is thankful she can't ehar Chris's voice as ccoridng to her friends his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. When the challenge in announced Odessa wishes Chris would install video moniters so she can read his lips and understand what he is saying. Due to not correctly reading Chris's lips Odessa misunderstands the challenge and picks EVERY apple she sees rather than just those with stickers. Quillion corrects her through sign language. Odessa is thankful that Quillion helped her. Later on Odessa is cornered by two alligators (it makes sense in context) and Quillion makes them leave her alone. In the confessional Odessa wonders if Quillion would be the perfect guy for a deaf girl like her. Odessa is the eighth person to complete the challenge. On the confessiona she says that while she may be deficient in hearing she has very good sight and could see the sticker apples from a hundred feet away. Due to being among the first eight to complete the challenge Odessa ends up on Team Alpha. When Chris says that nobody from Team Alpha will be voted off first she wonders if she rerad his lips correctly due to how unlikally this sounds.
