Life
Oda was born to a noble family from the Brabant region of Belgium. In order to avoid an arranged marriage to a young nobleman, she disfigured her face. Her family then allowed her to follow the religious vocation she desired. She became a Premonstratensian nun at Rivroelles, eventually becoming prioress there.[1]
Veneration
Although Oda's cultus has never been formally confirmed, popular devotion continues. Her feast day is 20 April.[1]
gollark: So I guess it's a bit lower since that silver is out of circulation?
gollark: *But*, the RNG probably doesn't have memory of which ones were dropped, so it has just as much chance of dropping another silver as it usually would, except the system is weird and picks a new set every hour or so, so I don't really know.
gollark: See, from a perspective of having not seen *any* of the drops yet, the probability of two rares is lower than the probability of one, probably.
gollark: It'll be horrible, I tell you.
gollark: I mean, unless TJ09 actually implemented the RNG that way.
