Ophelia Malka

Ophelia Malka is an Outcast member inside of Thirlcrest Academy. She is played by abluewindow.
== Appearance ==
Ophelia has dark brown hair with the same colour eyes, which are a triangular shape. She has pale skin that is completely clear and porcelain, ignoring a couple moles and scars here and there. She is chubby with a short-ish build, standing at 5 '5 and 149 lbs, still seemingly needing to grow quite a bit. Her hair is commonly placed into braids, done by her roommate. 
She typically wears a small blue and white headband with a Hello Kitty hair clip on top of her hair. She will also be seen wearing a black necklace with half a blue heart on it, having been matching with her now ex-girlfriend, though they both have yet to take it off. With all of her outfits, she wears her Tamagotchi and around 3-5 different keychains ranging from various sizes and fandoms. 
Around school, she wears the brown outcast vest, a grey plaid skirt, long white socks and black shoes. She is also wearing a dark grey jacket with a crisscross pattern. In town, she can be seen wearing a blue sweater with a white collar or a brown vest. However, her town outfits change frequently.
Ophelia's voice sample;
.
Ophelia's voice is a more soft sounding one, its mostly forced due to her voice originally being quite masculine, however with it sounding more on the feminine side before she transitioned, it was not that big of a challenge for her, though sometimes her voice may crack up.
== Characteristics ==
Lia is kind and thoughtful, seemingly always putting everyone before herself. She can get along with almost everyone, forming her personality to fit the person she's with. Though contradicting her sweet nature, she is also insanely anxious regularly. Overthinking small things such as interactions and events, especially when someone speaks she may believe they’re speaking to her when they’re not, mainly when mentioning something she is insecure about. This does not help her speak up publicly, causing her to get others to pay with her money while outside. 
Routine has to be held up in her day; otherwise, she gets frustrated and tired, even if it is just a tiny disruption from the day, such as running out of her favourite cereal. However, this frustration becomes more anxious as she spends the day a second away from a meltdown. 
Lia could be better at noticing social changes or expressions; regularly, she'll try her best to relate to problems. If someone has recently gone through an event that she'd feel overwhelmed by, she'd take them outside and let them rest. She uses her knowledge of the situation rather than trying to read expressions or body language, which is hard for her. 
Ophelia has slight memory loss and cannot remember names, so she relies on nicknames. She's only starting to use their real name after she's hung out enough to remember. Nicknames consist of accessories, personalities or hair colours. Such as Alton's nickname, 'Pronoun Boy', coming from when he wore pronoun badges. Abby was 'Goth girl' the first time she met her, and Jane is 'Purple' due to her hair colour. These are just small ways in which she will remember somebody; often, if she doesn't write anything about a person, she'll most likely forget whatever happened that day. She usually writes her day down in a tiny little book to reflect on when she wakes up.
== Character Background ==
=== CHAPTER 1 - PROLOGUE ===
Lia was born in an upper-middle-class household in Cheyenne, Wyoming, moving to Idaho for her mother's work. Lia had been raised with Jewish beliefs, keeping these with her throughout her teen years.
Lia had grown up with a twin, though fraternal, so never being noticed as one until mentioned. Her brown hair, contradicting her sibling's black, had not helped, especially after her twin dyed his blonde. Her father worked as a travelling nurse, spending most of his time out of the home and travelling around, causing Lia to see him less but still have a close connection. Her mother was an anthropologist studying the human body.
Her family is obviously not perfect. It's a decent family where they interact.. like a family. Evidently, they have flaws and mistakes, such as her mother being a cigarette addict and having a slightly absent father, though it is replaced with good things, such as the freedom and connections they had with their parents. Lia looks up to both her parents equally. However, she had a closer friendship with her mother than her father, precisely because of how more around her mother had been.
=== CHAPTER 2 - LIFE ===
Lia had a satisfactory life at home but tended to be made fun of at school, primarily because of her quieter and softer personality, contradicting the qualities of thousands of loud kids. A small group of kids known as weird was who she considered friends. Ophelia had slowly started getting more involved with cooking, finding it a way to escape from reality when needed. This caused her to gain even more friends, and it felt like she started gaining a proper presence around her school. 
This had then been shattered as she started feeling increasingly disconnected, like her life was the same day on repeat. She felt her body wasn't hers and that everything was always wrong. She didn't know what was wrong. Lia began skipping school regularly, faking sick or going to appointments. Her attendance dropped as her friendships with people started cutting off, and she was lesser known and ignored when she did show up at school. Lia's mental health deteriorated. On her 17th birthday, Lia tried killing herself. She stabbed herself right in the stomach with a knife at around 3 a.m.
However, trying to stay quiet was not working when bleeding out, and due to her crying and the red-stained towels covering the bathroom floor, her mother noticed her and immediately brought her to a hospital. Her attempt was unsuccessful, and only gave her a couple months in a psych ward. She didn't feel like she was progressing there. Her anxiety and dissociation only worsened as they feared prescribing medication. Feeling overwhelmed, she cracked one day. Started a physical fight between her and another patient in the hospital, one which Lia described as an "Insensitive fuckhead who assumed he knew everything, but he didn't." Ophelia lost this fight, not having the guts to actually go batshit and being relatively weak compared to the others.
Even though the natural response would be to help Ophelia through what she was going through, others saw her as violent and insane, primarily due to the stigma around men's mental health, suggesting a reformatory school for Lia. Already being an option due to her twins' attendance in that school. 
=== CHAPTER 3 - SCHOOL ===
Ophelia's initial reaction to the school was primarily adverse, instantly noticing a fight in town while standing with her twin. She had estranged herself from everybody while her twin continued running around, finding love and whatnot.
Randomly, Ophelia had been dressed up inside JJ's room, having been dressed up as a pretty girl with extensions and a dress. Her presenting as a guy at this time had shaken something in Ophelia, causing her to realise how much she felt like herself in a dress, being referred to as a girl, and being able to see herself as one. Lia despised that feeling, so she repressed it. Cutting her hair and pretending to act like every other cis man she saw, she failed horribly and even worse as she met Abby. A supportive progressive goth Lia immediately fell in love with.
Ophelia had begun accepting that she was trans, fully transitioning into a girl, as during this time, she also started dating Abby. She had then been introduced to the outcasts, feeling comfortable and at home around them. Sadly, she and Abby had broken up as Abby didn't know if she liked girls. Lia had been understandably upset. Nonetheless, she was okay with it. They still remained best friends, primarily due to the fact Lia had then become an outcast. She is currently doing a lot better than she was before, and though she still had bad days she feels happier, but its mental health is a rollercoaster.
== Relationships ==
=== Jaxon/Jessie Malka (‘JJ’) ===
“You look so Bulliable today, Lia. You know that?” 
- JJ, towards Lia.
Lias twin. They are very different people, with JJ being confrontational and loud about his opinions and Lia being shy and quiet. They also look completely different besides similar facial features. After Ophelia's attempt and outburst, she was relieved to know she was being sent to a school which her brother was in, knowing how close they were and how she’d easily be protected by her brother. 
Ophelia is very protective over JJ, though the protection being limited due to the fact Lia hates social confrontation. Lia warns JJ of situations regularly, whether it’d be things like The Hole (That Lia stays far away from) or other things like relationships Lia gets a negative feeling from. 
=== Abby Cohen (‘Abs’) ===
'' Okay so then Count Horssington of Everton was- Hello? Are you listening ''
- Abby, rambling to Lia.
Lia's first introduction to Abby was because she was staring at her, in mostly confusion and a bit of love at first sight. Abby approached her to ask what was up, and during their long conservation they had been interrupted by thousands of people making fun of Abby, and Lia admired her way of ignoring them and shooting insults back. 
Lia and Abby's friendships slowly increased as Lia moved dorms to hers, and they progressed into a relationship. Though after a couple weeks, they had broken up. With Abby being unsure about her sexuality. And now, instead of being a couple they are really close friends.
=== Suzie M. Lockett (‘Suz’) ===
"LIA!!!!!" 
- Suzie, seeing Lia.
The first time which Lia had met Suzie, she noticed the hello kitty badge on her vest. Lia brought it up, and they had a small chat about their favourite Sanrio characters. Keeping that memory stored in her head, Suzie was one of the first outcast member names Lia had remembered, which is surprising remembering her horrible memory skills. 
Currently, Lia would consider herself and Suzie really good friends. Especially with the two being excited after seeing each other. Lia feels slightly responsible for Suzie sometimes, seen by her ushering Suzie out of dangerous interactions, or even paying her two hundred dollars so she could leave the pit when a bomb was about to go off. Ophelia's friendship with Suzie is one she really treasures, feeling happy every time she sees Suzie smile and get excited.
=== Alton O’Brien (‘Pronoun Boy’) ===
"Goodluck on your lesbian adventures."
- Alton, saying his goodbyes for the night.
Ophelia met Alton on the day the ICR was happening, immediately noticing his two pronoun pins and watching two other members make fun of him for it in a more joking way. She made sure to keep her own mental note that his pronouns were he/him, which ended up in her remembering Alton with the title 'Pronoun Boy.' As they got accepted into members, Ophelia started trusting Alton more, believing that he was a good person to hang out with. And she was correct.
Ophelia claimed that she and Alton would be the best 'Wingman' and 'Winggirl' over the Outcast groupchat after Rudy had asked Alton to wingman Eli in an attempt to get him to find girls, causing Alton's other nickname, 'Wingman' to get set into place. Lia would believe that her friendship with Alton is small, however strong and she does wish to interact with him more than she has already.
