== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Ophellaer was born in Helmont Castle to Norgoux and Shackschogorth Fyth, being raised practically as an only child, despite having 4 elder, half-siblings. During her childhood, she was reclusive and seldom spoke to people she was not intimiately familiar with. She was conscious of the tensions between her mother and father, and was not surprised by their eventual separation when she was aged 8, in 189 AG. She was more shocked, however, at her father's sudden death due to a fatal stroke. She loved her mother deeply, but felt somewhat ambivalent towards her father due to her recognising the strain he put on her mother. Nonthless, she was saddned to learn of his passing and spent the remainder of her chidlhood being raised by Shackschogorth, educated in Helmont Castle.
=== Meeting Forkoux Fyth and Entry Into Public Life ===
Throughout the 190s, Ophellaer had begun to take an increased interest in the then new Patriarch, Forkoux Fyth. Until 199 AG, she had mainly admired the Patriarch for his radical reforms in Helmont's relationship with the then waning Grenthyx Dynasty. Forkoux himself paid little attention to his family following the return of Heroux, Struth and Detroia Fyth and the death of Vaioria Fyth by 190 AG, working tirelessly on his plans to emancipate the Kingdom in various ways. However, by the time Tíras Theôs had gained a foothold in the Revolution of Mhordyn (of which Forkoux spearheaded with the young Theôsl, he was able to dedicate far more time to being with his new family. Ophellaer, keen to finally at least hold a conversation with the now highly regarded Patriarch, was able to converse with Forkoux at the first full family banquet held in years. As they talked following the banquet, leading through the corridors of Helmont Castle, the 18 year old matriarch-to-be began to see a deep vulnerbility and veiled longing within Forkoux. After consoling him regarding the death of his lover, Vaioria, 10 years prior, Ophellaer and Forkoux kissed for the first time. Either one greatly appreciated this emotional intimacy; Forkoux was particularly smitten by Ophellaer's incredible perceptive abilities, being able to understand Forkoux's grievances and boasts in equal measure. Indeed, within Forkoux, Ophellaer saw a fascinating man who treated her with respect and dignity; a person she could converse with at length about any subject. After the two fell deeply in love over the next few days, they initially agreed that they would not marry for the time being due to Forkoux's still fresh sensitivity regarding his and Vaioria's planned marriage that never was. Though, in effect, the pair were inseparable by 200 AG, and agreed to marry that year. It was during this time, when she began to travel extensively with Forkoux on the Murndorl, that she began to catch the eye of others around The Continent; her charm and strident persona was unique in the recent history of popular figures.
