## History

Ophelia was born into a family of witches, a powerful one at that. When she was in her twenties she met the Krest family, and became fast friends with them all. As they all grew up, they bonded and became like family to one another. The line of witches that she comes from started the Coven's of New Orleans witches for centuries to come, she is one of the first of the ancestral lines. She had known Madeline Krest for a while before she met the children, and the two were best friends in the craft and what they could do as witches together.

She was present at each Krest sibling's turn and shift, ensuring that no humans were harmed during the night of the full moon. She was there when it was turned out that two of the siblings were born to a different mother, the Mikaelson witch and she was entrusted along with Astrid and James to keep the secret and ensure that neither of the two siblings knew about one another. She has spent multiple years learning alongside each witch, and the Bennett ancestor as well, to ensure that her craft was honed to perfection.

One night, Ansel and Madeline, needed assistance from Ophelia to save their children. James and his siblings were awoken one night by Ophelia, a trusted friend of their mother who had taken the kids to run to keep them safe from the wrath of Mikael, who had found out about the faithfulness of his wife, was on a rampage to kill his wife's ex lover and his entire family. Ophelia managed to get the kids out while Ansel and Madeline distracted Mikael, but to no avail resulting in the brutal deaths.

While the siblings and Ophelia ran away from their home, Kayden trips and falls, Markus goes back to help and calls for Ophelia to help. Ophelia told the other to keep running as she went back to help the twins. Unfortunately she did not get there in time and Mikael slaughtered the kids. Upon the death of the youngest Krest children Ophelia cloaked them and herself as they ran to a cottage in the middle of the woods where Ayana Bennett and Tatia Petrova resided cloaked to keep Tatia's presence secret since she was believed to be dead.

Upon the arrival to the cottage cloaked from any danger and mourning the death of Markus and Kayden, Ayana and Ophelia knew that they could not allow Esther to have made her children immortal and dangerous without a way to kill them. They offered the Krest wolves a chance to avenge their parents and fallen siblings but at a cost. They would not be able to have children and they would never age. Without a second thought James and his siblings agreed.

Ayana and Ophelia used magic making James and his siblings stronger and faster than the other werewolves, gave them eternal life, and making them harder to kill. They were told that they could only be killed by wolfsbane laced silver weapons, and that their bite could kill vampires (not knowing their bite could kill an original yet).

The Krest siblings travelled with Ophelia and Tatia over the many long centuries gathering what they could about the whereabouts of the Mikaelson's, hoping that one day they could avenge their family's deaths and put a stop to the entire vampire race.

Over the course of the centuries, Ophelia ended up married and giving birth to two beautiful little girls, Nariana and Lamia. She watched her husband die at the hands of thieves and robbers one night, and thus leaving her and her daughters with the Krest siblings and Tatia Petrova. As time went one, her daughters went their own ways, growing up and living their own lives. She knows not what happened to them, or whether or not their still alive or how they might have died.

She is currently in hiding with the Krest siblings and with Tatia Petrova, ensuring that everyone remains alive and well.
