Beware of pretty faces that you find, a pretty face can hide an evil mind.
-Johnny Ramistella
When Pansy Parkinson first became acquainted with Odette Viotto, she felt a pang of jealousy. The Viotto girl possessed a sort of unique beauty Pansy had never seen before, she wore eyes that had the power to capture people and tell stories, hair as dark as the empty pits of a dolls eyes, skin as pale as the soft snow that fell in winter.
Pansy knew herself to be beautiful, a weapon she would always carry, and she was always told and complimented of her beauty— despite that, she always felt in competition with Odette.
They met after the sorting ceremony in their first year, after both being sorted into Slytherin, and joining the current members of the house at their table in the Great Hall— later being assigned dorm mates, alongside Millicent Bulstrode.
Millicent and Pansy became good friends throughout their time at Hogwarts, whereas Odette only spoke to them briefly in their dorm and some lessons. The Viotto daughter made friends within their rival house, which made the slight detest by Pansy stronger.
Pansy, though she'd never admit it, had always wanted to be friends with Odette, she was fond of her humour— from what she overheard in lessons— and knew her to be kind and caring towards those she cared for.
But Odette had chosen the Gryffindor goodie-goodies over her, and Pansy wasn't a beggar. If Odette didn't want to be friends with her, then she wouldn't ever— she had her chance, and she chose the wrong choice, earning her nothing but rudeness from Pansy.
Well... that's how it seemed at least.
As Pansy admitted recently, she never truly hated Odette— she wish she did, yes— but she never did. She envied her, wished to live the life Odette did... well the life everyone believed her to live.
But after finding out the truth about Odette's dire childhood, Pansy was grateful she was born a Parkinson and not a Viotto.
The two became friends after the death of their dorm mate, Millicent, after Pansy found comfort and consolation in Odette.
Odette changed after the battle of Hogwarts, after the death of her parents, the death of her dorm mate— all that grief had made her seem more human in Pansy's eyes, less perfect and more humble.
