**Ophelia Kaia Min Jeong** was a contestant on *Our Island Homecoming* and *Our All Star Cruise*. She was the captain of Team Weird Mysteries and a member of the Heroic Heroes.

## Our Island Homecoming

Ophelia is introduced along with the rest of the debuts in *Third Time's the Charm!*, chatting with Reggie and Imogen. When Archie is introduced, Ophelia deliberately ignores him. During the challenge, she consistently remains a frontrunner and eventually finishes first, becoming team captain. She selects Damia, Reggie, Derek, Imogen, and Em, and is apprehensive when Archie is placed on her team as well. After some nudging from Cordelia and a particularly nasty barb from Damia to Archie, Ophelia snaps. She breaks Damia's nose and leg, causing her to be med-evaced. Ophelia is shown to feel some guilt over this but eventually brushes it off to bond with her team.

Ophelia is shown in the winner's mansion with her team at the beginning of *Finger Pointing and Name-Calling*, enjoying breakfast. She is amused when Kensly teleports inside, sliding the other girl the cereal box and a bowl. Ophelia comforts Imogen when the latter is afraid of Kensly. During the challenge, Ophelia gets frustrated with Em and Archie's arguing, threatening to send one or both of them to the hospital. She negotiates with Reggie over the team name, eventually convincing him to agree with her name of Team Weird Mysteries over his original suggestion, Team Reggie is Really Really Really Really Hot. She does, however, agree to let him be part of the team logo, which ends up being Reggie as Mothman with the words Sex God written beside him. Although she is initially disappointed with the team's low score, Ophelia soon brightens when they outscore Team Show Me Your Titties.

After the ceremony, Ophelia spends time with her team at the cabin. She has a short conversation with Archie, the two agreeing to put their history aside and cooperate as teammates. Later, when Kensly causes chaos at the mansion, Ophelia accompanies Imogen to investigate but is skeptical when Imogen starts accusing Kensly. She accidentally hits Imogen with a grape and is saddened when the latter, fed-up, storms off. Ophelia and Kensly later head back to the cabin together.

Between *Finger Pointing and Name-Calling* and *Lighting a Flame Under You*, Ophelia's leadership is insulted by her twin, causing a drop in her confidence. This is made worse by the boys' fighting, and Ophelia blames herself for the team's dysfunctionality. She also bonds further with Reggie, Imogen, and especially Kensly, confiding in them about her family issues.

At the beginning of *Lighting a Flame Under You*, Ophelia wakes up her team, informing them of a group stretch to 'build morale.' She volunteers for the final leg of the relay race, finishing well before Jackson does and winning the challenge for her team - something she is ecstatic about.

Prior to the start of *Phobia Factor Redux*, Ophelia plays volleyball with Archie, Kensly, and Reggie, showing off her love of friendly competition. During the episode, Ophelia is shown to be embarrassed by her fear, attempting to join Cordelia and Archie during their challenge and changing the subject or giving vague answers when someone asks her. Ophelia encourages Archie before his challenge and hugs him tightly when he passes it. When Imogen fails her challenge, Ophelia comforts her, holding her hand until she feels comfortable again. For Ophelia's challenge, she must sit through a showing of Monsters Inc. without leaving the theatre. When Randall shows up onscreen, a terrified Ophelia jumps into Derek's arms, only to be dropped when Gnomeo and Juliet starts playing. During the next Monsters Inc. segment, Ophelia backs into the speakers, where one of Randall's lines scares her into running out of the theatre. She remains in a panicked state until Archie comforts her. Ophelia is devastated when her team loses the challenge, taking on the responsibility for the loss. At the ceremony, Ophelia steps between Em and the rest of her team, volunteering to be the first to fight him. As a result, he punches her in the jaw. Ophelia doesn't get the chance to fight back, as Archie immediately tackles Em.

Sometime between *Phobia Factor Redux* and *Gotta Swim to Win*, Ophelia confides in Kensly and Reggie that she still has feelings for Archie.

Ophelia is initially optimistic during *Gotta Swim to Win!*, cheering for Imogen when the latter finds a diamond. She is playfully annoyed with Reggie when he surfaces with nothing but a mirror. Ophelia holds Derek's towel for him while he dives. During her own turn, she finds an object, but is shocked by an electric eel, causing her to surface empty-handed. Ophelia, like the rest of her team, is destroyed when they lose - she in particular blames herself for the loss and even votes for herself at the ceremony. When Kass reveals it is a tie, Ophelia is stunned to hear that she must choose between Derek and Imogen. She is even more upset to hear that Kensly is quitting. When the demon possessing Kensly causes her to attack Reggie, Ophelia is terrified and has to be held back by Archie to prevent her from stepping in. When Kensly wakes up, Ophelia is overjoyed, but this quickly turns to sadness and worry when Kensly doesn't remember her or Reggie. Though she tries to put on a brave face to lead her team, Ophelia soon breaks down in tears over the departure of her friend.

Ophelia throws the balloons for her team in *Fallin' For Ya*, eliminating Cordelia from the challenge immediately. She and Erhi knock Bebe off her platform soon afterwards. When a desperate Daisy flashes the contestants still on the platforms, Ophelia takes advantage of Jackson's distracted state and hits him with a balloon, knocking him into the water and sending Team Show Me Your Titties! to elimination. Following this, Ophelia eliminates JJ from the challenge as well, knocking out Team Wait For It and securing victory for Team Weird Mysteries.

At the party her team throws after the episode, Ophelia enthusiastically participates in Never Have I Ever and Spin the Bottle. When the bottle lands on her during Reggie's turn, Ophelia jokes around with him before they share their (second) kiss, agreeing to never do it again. On Ophelia's own turn, the bottle lands on Archie - a fact that delights both of them. The kiss lasts longer than necessary, only ending when Reggie mentions that 'love is love,' embarrassing the couple. The bottle lands on Ophelia yet again on Imogen's turn, and after they kiss, Ophelia remarks that Imogen is good at it. After the game, Ophelia mentions that she had fun.

Prior to the start of *Buzzer B-eater!*, Ophelia has a near-miss experience with Archie - the two reminisce about their relationship and almost kiss, but Ophelia backs out at the last second, later scolding herself in the confessional for not doing it. During the episode, Ophelia sits out of the challenge, awkwardly making conversation with Archie.

Ophelia performs her poem third for her team in *Deadbeat Poets Society*, scoring a 24/30. After the challenge, she talks with Imogen by the cabins, and is caught off-guard when the other girl kisses her. Although she is flattered, Ophelia turns Imogen down due to her lingering feelings for Archie, and promises she'll confess to him on her friend's advice. Unbeknownst to either girl, however, Archie saw everything.

Ophelia leads her team through the challenge in *Panic! At the Beach*, helping Imogen carry her crate up the cliff and taking an active role in putting the Reggie statue together. Despite this, she is thrown off by Archie's coldness. Ophelia is shocked when Bebe falls off the cliff. Though she doesn't say anything, she gives Derek permission to comfort Cordelia.

After the challenge, Ophelia worries that something will happen to Archie before she can tell him how she feels. She goes to see him in his room, confessing that she still likes him. Much to her confusion, Archie responds by laughing in her face. When she asks for clarification, he admits that he saw her kiss Imogen. Ophelia tries to explain, but Archie doesn't believe her, comparing her to Damia. Angry and hurt, Ophelia tells Archie that he's just like his father and storms off in tears.

Ophelia remains cold to Archie during *And Away We Go!* despite Reggie's best efforts, angrily brushing him off. She builds her raft by tying driftwood together. Ophelia is devastated when Cordelia wins the challenge, believing she will be sent home. This later turns to anger when Cordelia eliminates themselves. After the ceremony, Derek confronts Ophelia on her actions, and the two have a heart-to-heart where Ophelia vents about her deep-seeded inferiority complex and admits that she may be in love with Archie.

The following day, Ophelia approaches Archie, curious about why he planned to quit for her before Cordelia announced their decision. Archie admits that he still cares about Ophelia, and both of them reflect on their relationship fondly. Ophelia says that although she likes Archie, she's unsure if she can trust him after everything. Archie responds by handing her the watch gifted to him by his father and telling her to throw it into the ocean, something Ophelia does enthusiastically. The two then kiss, officially reuniting.

Before the start of *Drop It Like It's Hot!*, Ophelia has a run-in with Daisy where she agrees not to vote Daisy at the next ceremony in exchange for the promise of Archie's safety. During the challenge, she does well, remaining at the front of the pack until Daisy trips her and the two fall off of the platforms, eliminating them both from the challenge.

In *Disco Inferno!*, Ophelia is one of the best at the fire Bop It! challenge, making it all the way to the final two. However, she is eliminated when Daisy sabotages her by stepping on the kerosene bottle, causing her to burn her hand. She is upset more by Daisy winning immunity than she is about her injury. At the ceremony, Ophelia is confused when Archie chooses to send home Derek over JJ. She later confronts him about it, and they share a tender moment where they agree to eliminate Daisy at the first chance they get.

After Daisy reveals her true nature to Imogen, Ophelia comforts the latter, apologizing for not warning her earlier. She is skeptical when Imogen tells her the deal she offered Daisy, not believing that it will work.

Ophelia presents first in *50 Perfect Dates!*, sharing her idea of a quiet night in. She is flattered and embarrassed when Archie presents his idea (referencing their own first date in the process), in part due to Reggie's teasing. Ophelia is ecstatic when Reggie wins immunity, eager to finally vote Daisy out. During the ceremony, she cheers when Kass announces that Daisy and JJ are eliminated. When Daisy plays her idol, eliminating Archie in her place, Ophelia is devastated. During their goodbye, Archie tells Ophelia he loves her, a sentiment she wholeheartedly returns before she promises to beat Daisy and win for both of them. Afterwards, she vows in the confessional that she will make Daisy pay, holding Archie's necklace (given to her as a good luck charm) close to her heart.

In *Four No More!*, Ophelia and Reggie are paired up for the fight challenge. Together, they create makeshift bats using wood and nails to use as weapons - though this proves to ultimately be rather unnecessary as Imogen approaches the duo before the challenge and tells them she's going to throw. Ophelia and Reggie are relieved by this, having not wanted to fight Imogen in the first place, even if they're still a bit worried about Daisy. During the challenge itself, Ophelia takes on Daisy by herself, and while the other girl puts up a rather good fight thanks to her underhanded tactics, Ophelia eventually defeats her. When Daisy and Imogen must fight to advance to the final three, Ophelia wholeheartedly cheers for the latter, and is furious when Daisy uses Imogen's brother against her in order to win. She gives her friend a tearful goodbye, promising Imogen that she and Reggie will find a way to get rid of Daisy once and for all.

Ophelia and Reggie initially have high hopes in *What I Woodn't Do For Fame...* but unfortunately, Daisy has other ideas. During the totem stacking challenge, the three semifinalists are neck-and-neck at first, but Daisy quickly abandons hers in favour of lighting Reggie's comics on fire and destroying his morale. This greatly angers Ophelia, but the tipping point comes when Daisy starts to mock her, her inferiority complex, and most importantly, Archie. Pushed over the edge, she tackles Daisy, knocking over her own totem and forfeiting the challenge in the process. Daisy eventually decides to eliminate Reggie over Ophelia, and Ophelia says goodbye to her best friend and final ally, vowing to herself that she will not lose.

A few nights before the finale, Daisy inexplicably invites Ophelia to have dinner with her, a gesture Ophelia reluctantly accepts. She is unimpressed by Daisy's antics, rolling her eyes at the other girl's impressions of her friends, and refuses to relax because Daisy is 'her worst enemy.' Daisy is, of course, flattered by this, and after a few 'stories' designed to mock Ophelia and Archie, she moves on to the main event: mind games. She presents a case: that Ophelia is really just like her, she just hasn't tapped into her true cruelty yet. Ophelia adamantly denies this, but grows more and more frustrated as Daisy continues to push her buttons; culminating in the reveal that while she broke Damia's leg, it was Cordelia, Daisy's supposed best friend, that put the idea in her head. Enraged, Daisy threatens to kill her, to which Ophelia responds, 'I fucking dare you.' This delights Daisy, who laughs, telling Ophelia that's exactly the kind of thing she would do before skipping out of the room. Now thoroughly doubtful of her own morality, Ophelia begins to cry.

*The Final Island Homecoming* opens with the finalists going over their morning routines, which, in Ophelia's case, includes reminding herself what she's fighting for. As she gets ready, she reflects on her time with Archie, Reggie, and Imogen, and once again promises she'll take home the gold. She greets Daisy coldly when the two meet up, but quickly switches gears when Kass introduces the eliminated contestants. After reuniting with Archie and Reggie, she chooses the former as her helper almost immediately.

Throughout the dummy construction stage, Ophelia frequently asks Archie for reassurance regarding her status as a 'good person', revealing the conversation she had with Daisy. She remains unsure despite his comforting words, but shrugs it off as the two begin their hike through the jungle. While the duo initially make good time, they reach a roadblock when Cordelia and Daisy light the brush in front of them on fire. Archie manages to put it out with his jacket and the pair are able to move on, though Ophelia feels guilty about what happened.

Ophelia confronts Daisy again while Archie and Cordelia duel, trading insults with her as they both try to cross the lava pit. Daisy is ecstatic when Ophelia gets trapped in the cage, delivering one final dig at her relationship with her mother before she runs off. Devastated, Ophelia falls to her knees, believing that she has lost, but a rousing speech from Archie gives her the strength to continue. With newfound adrenaline, she catches up with Daisy at the top of the volcano, and the two girls proceed to fight. This culminates in Ophelia holding Daisy over the volcano's mouth, though she pulls her back when Daisy dares her to prove her right. Daisy laughs at this and calls Ophelia a pussy, only to be silenced by a swift punch to the jaw. With her opponent thoroughly incapacitated, Ophelia throws her dummy into the volcano and takes a seat on the throne, officially winning Island Homecoming.

## Our All-Star Cruise

[WIP]

Ophelia is one of the first contestants introduced in *The SS Drama* and immediately clashes with her old enemies Damia and Daisy, exchanging unpleasantries with them until the next arrival forces them to move on. She is excited when Reggie is introduced and spends the remainder of the episode with him, poking fun at the other contestants and generally being her usual self. Ophelia is placed on the Heroic Heroes at the end of the episode, something she is pretty jazzed about.

Sometime between the first two episodes, Ophelia finds out that she's having a baby! Yay! Unfortunately, Chris expressly forbids her from quitting, and, fearing what will happen if she tries to sabotage her team, Ophelia reluctantly agrees to play to the best of her abilities. She has a teary phone conversation with Archie before returning to her team, promptly confiding in her new friend Rich about her situation. She later tells Cordelia as well, much to the latter's dismay.

During *A Pirate's Life for Me*, Ophelia did things and her team won. Could not tell you what, though, besides getting mad at Valerie for kicking a crab.

Ophelia is perhaps the Heroes' MVP during *Bitch I'm A Cow,* remaining laser-focused on the challenge and keeping the mother cow comfortable despite the plethora of distractions provided by her team (namely Ash). Unfortunately, her best efforts are not nearly enough, and though Ash is undoubtedly the reason for the loss, Ophelia blames herself. She self-votes at the ceremony, which ends up being the only vote she receives. Ophelia has mixed feelings on Kensly's debut - while she's happy to be able to bond with her for real, she feels badly about the circumstances. The two girls become very close very quickly, and Kensly becomes the third person that Ophelia tells about her pregnancy.
