Her eyes are a deep, soulful shade of dark brown, and their downturned shape adds an intriguing depth to her gaze. Her style is reminiscent of a private academy schoolgirl, often dressed in refined and tailored outfits that exude sophistication.

## Characteristics & Description

At first glance, Ophelia may strike you as a reserved and introverted young girl. She's not one to initiate conversations. Instead, she's often lost in her thoughts, meticulously categorizing the wealth of facts and knowledge that continuously flow through her mind, particularly centered around Greek history and mythology. It's as if her brain functions like an organized library, each piece of information neatly shelved in its own section. However, when someone else takes the initiative to start a conversation, Ophelia readily engages. She's not one to shy away from a good chat, and her gentle demeanor often keeps others drawn into the conversation, even if it's her facts and stories they're discussing. In contrast to her shy exterior, Ophelia thrives in lively and bustling surroundings. She finds solace amid the noise and chatter of social interactions, which contrasts with her timid facade. It's not all charm and grace, though. Ophelia possesses a streak of rebellion, often for the most unconventional reasons. She doesn't shy away from a hint of danger, sometimes persuading others to join her on what might seem like reckless adventures. For instance, there was the time she convinced her cousin to accompany her on a ghost hunt, a venture that ultimately ended in chaos. Her relentless determination to see tasks through to completion is a quality that can both serve her well and potentially lead to her downfall, but only time will reveal the true extent of this trait. For now, she comes across as a friendly and amicable companion who isn't afraid to venture into a bit of trouble for the sake of adventure.

## Backstory

Ophelia's story begins in the affluent suburbs of a post-World War II era, where her family had enjoyed a comfortable and peaceful existence. Her parents, both accomplished historians, were deeply involved in secret wartime intelligence activities, utilizing their knowledge of history and mythology to uncover hidden patterns and secrets that could aid the Allied forces. While their wartime contributions remained classified, their work had left an indelible mark on Ophelia's upbringing. Growing up, Ophelia was introverted and academically inclined, preferring the company of books and her family's extensive library. She would spend hours immersed in the rich world of Greek mythology, drawn to the timeless tales of gods, heroes, and epic adventures. The very foundation of her fascination with history and mythology began within the walls of her family home. Initially, Ophelia felt lost and uncertain about her place in the world. It was a chance discovery within her family's home that would set her on her path. She began to search the house for answers, not knowing what she was looking for, but driven by an innate curiosity. Her exploration led her to a hidden library, a clandestine sanctuary holding texts on the most obscure and arcane aspects of history. Her first discovery was a book on Greek mythology, and it ignited a lifelong passion. Ophelia's heart was forever claimed by the stories of Olympus and the ancient heroes who strode alongside the gods. In her teenage years, her intellectual curiosity expanded to the world of supernatural phenomena. She began to explore her own home, uncovering secret compartments and hidden passages that her family had used to safeguard important documents during the war. Ophelia's path took an unexpected turn in the 5th grade when her mother tragically passed away under perplexing and unexplained circumstances. Although the details remained a mystery, Ophelia couldn't shake the belief that it was a result of a supernatural incident. This loss left her with an unshakeable regret for not forging a closer relationship with her mother, a poignant feeling that would shape her future. In an attempt to cope with her grief and loss, Ophelia embarked on a mission to preserve her memories. She meticulously crafted a mental timeline, documenting every interaction and encounter she had ever experienced. This seemingly therapeutic endeavor gradually escalated into a paralyzing fear of forgetting, which later evolved into an obsession with finishing what she started. Her fear of leaving things unresolved became increasingly overwhelming, leading to a point where her compulsion for completion interfered with her regular school life. Consequently, Ophelia was homeschooled during this critical period of her life, a time of intense personal development. Her fascination with uncovering secrets within her home dovetailed seamlessly with her growing interest in the supernatural. Drawing from her family's history of wartime intelligence work, she began to explore hidden compartments and concealed passages within the house. This propensity for unveiling enigmas now found expression in her newfound passion for ghost hunting. This propensity for uncovering secrets dovetailed with her growing fascination with ghost hunting. Ophelia's family's history of wartime intelligence work had instilled a sense of adventure and risk-taking that she now channeled into her newfound passion. During one particular ghost hunting adventure, she convinced a friend or cousin to join her on a daring exploration of a reputedly haunted location. However, the expedition didn't go as planned, and they encountered unexplained supernatural phenomena, leading to a precarious and life-altering experience. While they eventually escaped unharmed, it was a lesson in the perilous nature of the supernatural. During one particular ghost hunting adventure, she persuaded a close friend or cousin to accompany her on a daring exploration of a reputedly haunted location. This adventure was unlike any other they had undertaken. It was a place shrouded in mystery and chilling legends. As Ophelia and her companion ventured deeper into the haunted location, their excitement mingled with trepidation. Unbeknownst to them, this place held a dark secret. It was not just a repository of eerie tales; it was a place where the supernatural had a tangible presence. Their journey led them into a dimly lit chamber hidden deep within the location. It was there that they encountered a sinister and powerful entity, a malevolent demon that defied explanation. When the demon materialized, Ophelia's EMF (Electromagnetic Field) reader surged to an alarming level 5, signaling a terrifying level of paranormal activity. The air around them turned deathly cold, and they could see their breath forming frosty clouds in front of them. Fear and panic gripped Ophelia and her companion as the demon's menacing presence made their hearts race. The demon's eerie, otherworldly cries echoed through the chamber, and it seemed as though the very walls were closing in on them. With quick thinking and sheer luck, they managed to escape the clutches of the malevolent entity. It was an experience that left them shaken to the core and profoundly altered their perceptions of the supernatural. They realized that their curiosity, while admirable, could also lead them into uncharted territory, where dangers beyond their wildest nightmares lurked. This harrowing encounter with the demon served as a pivotal moment in Ophelia's life, driving home the point that the supernatural could be far more perilous and enigmatic than she had ever imagined. It was a lesson she would carry with her, a reminder of the thin veil that separated the mortal world from the mysteries that lay beyond, as she continued her journey in the realm of demigods at Camp Half-Blood. Now, Ophelia finds herself at Camp Half-Blood, her unclaimed status a testament to the mysterious parentage that connects her to the Greek gods. Armed with her deep knowledge of Greek mythology, her love for exploration and history, and the enduring memory of her wartime-intelligence family, Ophelia is ready to embark on a new adventure in the world of demigods.

## Relationships

### Richard Campbell

Richard Campbell, Ophelia's maternal uncle and a historian, stepped in to care for her after her mother's mysterious passing. Despite his often blunt and pragmatic methods, Richard's guidance and protection were rooted in a deep concern for Ophelia's well-being during her homeschooling years. His brusque approach was a reflection of his role as a father figure and a reminder of the importance of tough love in her life. As Ophelia ventured into Camp Half-Blood's world of demigods, the enduring influence of her uncle's teachings and his caring yet stern support continued to shape her choices and actions, a testament to the lasting impact of a family member's love.

### Douglas Campbell

Douglas Campbell, Ophelia's grandfather, was an army veteran who primarily resided in the family estate. Although he grappled with the debilitating effects of dementia from wartime traumas at a relatively young age, he remained a loving and caring father figure in Ophelia's life. Despite his struggles, he occasionally took her on tranquil nature walks or shared memorable moments fishing by their family's lake. These simple yet cherished experiences served as a testament to the enduring bond between Ophelia and her grandfather, a relationship marked by love and treasured memories.

### Maximos

Ophelia's thoughts about Maximos, also known as "The Angel Guy," are marked by a complex mix of curiosity and frustration. Initially drawn to his striking appearance and the mystery surrounding his role at Camp Half-Blood, she finds herself intrigued by the enigmatic aura he exudes. However, this fascination is soon overshadowed by her perception of Maximos as cold and aloof in their interactions. The war further taints her view of him, as his defense of Cato, a character who was ultimately revealed as a murderer, leaves Ophelia feeling disappointed and betrayed. She grapples with conflicting emotions, torn between her initial intrigue and the subsequent disillusionment, making Maximos a character she both longs to understand and struggles to trust.

### Elijah

Owen

Owen, a friend in Ophelia's camp life, offers a sense of stability in an environment where normalcy seems like a distant memory. Their friendship found its footing during a time of distress when Elijah, a mutual acquaintance, faced a seemingly perilous situation that left Ophelia and Owen grappling with intense emotions. Owen, while not as personally close to Ophelia as Elijah, provides a steadying presence. He exhibits genuine care and concern for her well-being, although his demeanor often carries a hint of unease, reflecting the instability that the camp has imposed on their lives. In moments of peril, he readily places himself in harm's way to ensure her safety, acting as a protector and a reliable companion, though not without the undercurrent of the camp's surreal and unpredictable atmosphere influencing their dynamic. Ophelia values his presence as a fellow traveler in the strange and ever-shifting world of Camp Half-Blood, and Owen's role as her good friend offers a source of reassurance and support.
