Ophelia

CHARACTER INFO
APPEARANCE




Breed: Warmblood-Mutt
Gender: Mare
Age: 2 Years
Species: Unicorn
Horn: Pearly white and twisted
Eyes: Right is crimson and left is blue
Mane: White with red tips
Body: Pure white
Hooves: Tan, cloven
Markings: None
Tail: White and full with red fringes

Ophelia was born jet black with red mane and tail just like her father and grandfather, but soon, her color ages to a pure white at one year. Her final coloration is white with red fringes on her mane and tail. She has one crimson eye and one blue eye.


PERSONALITY
Ophelia is a kind, gentle and soft spoken filly full of compassion. She absolutely idolizes her twin sister and follows her around like a lost puppy. Though she is not quick to speak, she is keenly intelligent. Regardless of her compassion, she turns violent when anyone threatens her sister. To Ophelia, her father is too far out of her grasp, too great to form a bond with, and she is too intimidated by his might to take a chance and risk failing him. Instead, she lives vicariously through her sister's relationship with her father, and she prefers her mother's company in peace and quiet.

Ophelia lacks instincts that most normal beings possess because her mind has space for other things. Often this makes her personality and speech rather strange, broken and her mannerism bizarre. She loves dragons and dearly wants one of her own, and she is unafraid of their claws and fire. Being kidnapped and held by Nyra in the Tides has made her rather bitter about life, and she prefers to live in seclusion, though herd life does offer her a purpose. She cannot stand not knowing and seeks knowledge of all, making her mind an encyclopedia of Helovia.

Her mind has also made her very good at lying. She does not often enjoy using that skill, but she will when she has to. Though she may align herself with one particular her or another at any time, her only true loyalty is to her sister and herself. She also has quite the temper and a streak for vengeance. No revenge is complete unless it is paid in full and doubled.

On the outside, she is cool and rather impartial, but she is kind on the inside. Still, she has a flare and a bit of a pull to darkness and evil things. The temptation is hard for her to resist. However, she is extremely patient and loves listening.

Ophelia was born with an eidetic (photographic) memory, but with a twist. She has the gift and the curse to remember everything in extreme detail, even the sensation of pain. Nothing she will ever experience can hide away in her memory like normal creatures, and she will always be able to recall every agonizing encounter.



HISTORY
Ophelia was born in Isilme, Anarore and was the second to be born to her sister, Ktulu. She was stuck in the birth canal briefly, but her sister suffered the defect. She made friends with Aaron and Adele and helped Adele hunt fo rher dragon. Ktulu and her were attacked on the beach of the Tides by a gryphon, and they were protected by Al-Shahin. Ophelia met Osiris and Comadre in a cave, and was soon after kidnapped by Nyra and used as leverage against her father, Paladin, lead of the Tides. Shades overtook the land and she ran to Helovia, shouldering her sister's weight.

PLAYER INFO
OOC NAME: Tamme
WRITING BACKGROUND: My writing background is mostly academic. The majority of my writing history and portfolio consists of a massive, honor's thesis on gold nano-particles and manuscripts on scientific articles that are in the process of being published. I think this makes my style very linear, easy to read and straightforward. However, I think this also makes me lack a certain edge of creativeness present in other writers.

RP LEVEL: I would say I am somewhat intermediate.

DO YOU ENJOY READING? Absolutely. I started out with LOTR in middle school and moved on to Stephen King in High School. Now, I read everything but Stephen King remains my favorite. I found it hard to read for pleasure in college, especially with having to read textbooks and study, but now that I am out, it's much more pleasant.

ANY RPing PEEVES? I think my biggest pet peeve is meta-playing. If my character is thinking something or the expression shifts slightly, I find it rude to assume that the character I am writing with suddenly has massive insight into my character's inner workings. Also, I have a peeve with people not reading my posts thoroughly; if I work hard to write a post, I expect to be treated with equal respect!

ABOUT YOU: I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry, which was one hell of a degree to try to get. I used to own horses, but my old man that I owned since I was little had to be put down recently and finances forced me to sell the other one. Even though I do not own horses, I help out a local stable when I can. Currently, I am working at the University as a Research Assistant and TA for a lab, which I find really fun. Hopefully my gold nanoparticle research can get published soon, and then I need to focus on applications to MD and PhD programs.
