Alodie Carter

Alodie Erica Mason(née Carter) was a nurse at Delphi House and the wife of Peter Mason. She and Peter had a daughter named Erica (series protagonist) whom inherited Alodie’s ability of foresight.

She is the current butterfly priestess at the beginning of the series.

Alodie was also the first person to die to the hands of Peter Mason.

Background
Alodie was a nurse working at Delphi House, a house that treats people with mental illnesses. She worked for about four and a half years before she was terminated and admitted as a patient at the very hospital she worked in.. Sometime during those four years, she met Peter Mason and developed a romantic relationship with him. They would spend nights together talking about their interests and their view of the world during early stages of their relationship. Alodie talked about the future to Peter, whilst he talked about the past. In one of their conversations he mentioned a priestess in ancient Greece that had the ability of foresight, the same ability Alodie had.

Death
It is assumed that Alodie died shortly after Erica was born or when Erica was just a child (Presumable between 8 and 12).

Present day
Her death is know to everyone and everyone seems to have moved on her incident. However, later on in the game, news about Alodie are brought to Erica by Mia Greene, a dear friend of Alodie. She mentions how Alodie’s death was a lie and she was still alive but locked away. She also mentions that Alodie is weak and fading and begs for Erica’s help. She lastly Warns erica that If they don't do anything about it, Alodie would die and she'd be replaced by Erica as the new Butterfly priestess.

Delphi House
Alodie is still remembered fondly at Delphi House. Dr. Ballard mentions that thanks to her she didn't get fired in one occasion. Lucien Flowers also mentions Alodie in one occasion to Erica and then shows her Alodie’s death certificate.

Mia Greene keeps telling Erica Alodie is still alive, kept within the walls of Delphi House. presumably being used as an instrument to achieve the goals of the Delphi Community.

Notes/Trivia

 * It is believed that through the Serum and the Oleander petals, Alodie was kept alive and used as a tool by the Delphi House Community.
 * Alodie's abilities seem to only work when staring into the fire. Unlike Erica, who has constant visions of both past and future without the need of fire. This later could be due to the experiments made with Oleander petals and the red serum.
 * It is unclear if Alodie is really alive. Since her body is never shown and she is only seen alive through the Oleander perfume. On top of this, she is shown as a figure that never speaks so it is likely she is just an imaginary figure that presents to Erica during the vision. (This leads to believe that she is either alive in a different reality/plane of existence or that she is just dead and people assume she is still alive and see her through hallucinations caused for the Oleander perfume).
