Ophelia Alberti

Real Name: Ophelia Alberti
Title:
Court:
Mien: Ophelia’s thick silver hair is made of finely coiled threads. This is only evident on close inspection. Ophelia has three eyes, her third just above her nose. All three are blind, but her hearing compensates enough so that she doesn’t always need her cane.
Mask: Ophelia is a young, black-haired Romani woman who was born blind. To hide her milky white eyes Ophelia wears a blindfold at all times. Her favorite blindfold has a design of a single cyclopean eye. She always wears it when performing public fate-reading. The threads around the rim of the eyelid are slightly raised so she can find them.
Known Information: Ophelia’s family came to America from Europe hoping to escape racism against gypsies. Their escape was fruitless; attitudes towards the Romani people weren’t much different in the land of the free. A week after being kidnapped by three Fae posing as the Grecian Fates her father was killed in a freak industrial accident. Widowed and childless, her mother was found three months later hung from a tree. Whether this was an act of lynching or of suicide has not been determined. The images of her parent’s deaths plague her mind when her grasp on reality wanes. Ophelia believes both of their deaths were caused in some part by the Fates who took her.
Born blind, Ophelia can see only when reading the threads of Fate to practice soothsaying. Needless to say her first few experiences with fate-reading were intense, as she had never seen anything before, much less things which hadn’t happened.
Ophelia became the first sage of Fontaine Industrie when she scryed for King Degollar.
