Princess Odette (The Swan Princess)

Odette is the title character and the secondary protagonist in all three "The Swan Princess" films. She is the love interest of Prince Derek in the first film (though not at first), and eventually his wife at the end of that film and the sequels. In the first movie, she was kidnapped by Rothbart, an evil sorcerer and is taken to his Castle lair at Swan Lake where he turns her into a swan. Odette dies and is revived twice: in the first and third films. She is voiced by the late Michelle Nicastro in all three films and her singing voice is provided by Liz Callaway in the first film. In the sequels, Nicastro did her own singing.

In the second film, when Rothbart's former partner, Clavius, has a ransom note to get Derek into a trap, this is where Odette takes on the hero role (such as by getting him out of a hole of quicksand)... at least until he saves her from being dropped into a pit of hot lava by Clavius' muscular minion Knuckles and cuts the cable to his gondola. Under Derek's orders, in the volcano, she takes part of the hero role again when she and the other animals free Derek's just 50-year-old mother Uberta and gets the others into the balloon while Derek fought with Clavius.
