Basically : The Black Swan & the White Swan from Swan Lake !
Look at the physical
similarities
between Odile and Duchess, this can confirmed Duchess is truly her daughter - so the Next Black Swan *.* !!! (I was sure of that from the beginning !)
So was she switched at birth or something?
They’ve been alluding to her being the black swan for awhile. Her plumage in swan form is black instead of white.
Also in Duchess’s Diary this convo happens between her and Faybelle
“People think I say rude things.” I inched towards the door as the flames grew.
“Oh. Well, yeah, you totally do that.” Fay clapped her hands. The sprinklers doused the room in water. “But that doesn’t mean you’re awful.”
“That doesn’t make any sense,” I coughed. “I’m the next White Swan.”
“Are you?” Fay fanned smoky steam out the window with her fairy wings. “Maybe you’re the next Black Swan.”
“What the hex, Fay?” I asked, crossing my arms.
“Do you really need me to spell it out for you?” she asked. “The White Swan is humble, modest and vulnerable. The Black Swan isn’t. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Take it from a villain.”
