Pieter

Pieter was Odette's lonely young cousin, sacrificed when the dungeon forced her to choose between him and Armita.

Story so far

Pieter was several years younger than Odette and Armita and followed them despite their attempts to exclude him. On the day they entered the dungeon, Odette struck him with a thrown rock and sent him away from their picnic even though he especially loved the pastries she made.

Pieter entered alongside them at roughly thirteen years old. The dungeon eventually forced Odette to choose between her cousin and her friend. She selected Armita and Pieter died after the crawl had already broken him psychologically.

Mordecai later reminded Odette of Pieter because both looked up to older brothers, and one of Mordecai's human transformations even resembled him.

Appearance
