## Life History

Ophelia was
born in the East Territories to the Pryor Family who own Pryor Electronics
along with her twin brother, Lee.  Her
parents are Alicia and Hugo and she has an older sister, Roxanne.  She enjoys teasing Lee by calling him her
baby brother, but she loves him deeply.
When he had issues, she was the one always sticking up for him.

Ophelia
loved the ballet, and the Royal Ballet Company recruited her and Lee when they
were five.  Ophelia poured her life into
ballet, doing everything asked of her and then some.  Although Lee was not as dedicated, the two
were so synchronized they could dance perfectly together even at a young age.

However, as
Ophelia entered puberty things changed.
Lee was falling further and further behind her as his heart was
elsewhere.  Ophelia’s growth spurts were
also extreme.  She joked once her costume
fit perfectly at the beginning of a performance and was too small by the
end.  The spurts made precision dancing
difficult and she found herself towering over even the male dancers.

She was
also becoming more aware of her sexuality, being attracted to women.  She tried to hide this in the gender segregated
and very traditionalist environment of the Ballet Company.  However, she was found out and it created a
schism between her and the other female dancers.

When Lee
announced he was leaving for the Cloud Generation Service, Ophelia found out
the Ballet Company had intended to advertise the complete set.  Twin brother and sister leads would be a big
draw.  However, without the brother, they
only had a lesbian ballerina who was taller than most of the males which would
look unbecoming.  No matter how talented
she was, she would never be more than a bit part.

Sure
enough, despite having the best performance, Ophelia was cast as a snowflake
for their performance of the Nutcracker the Christmas before Lee left.  She resented Lee, especially after he did so
well as an Arabian.  She begged him to
stay, but his mind was made up.  She
capitulated and decided to leave the Ballet Company as well to join the C.G.S.

Their
probationary year was tough and seemed to mirror their time in the Ballet
Company.  Ophelia struggled with the work
day which seemed to be a lot of swimming and prying barnacles off the
grills.  Lee was more emphatic with her
work and taking the aptitude tests.  Yet,
her sexuality was more accepted in the C.G.S. which made it more bearable.

However,
she still loved her brother and wanted to protect him.  When he was selected to begin his
apprenticeship with the Meteorological Analysis Team, she asked to join
him.  Having spent so much time with him,
she was also quite knowledgeable about weather.
Vince Cooper, the head of the new program, agreed and transferred both
to Drop Castle.

## Personality

Ophelia is often
unassuming and prefers to let others do the talking.  She always looks after her brother, helping
him in social situations and when he can go a little nuts on weather
topics.  She is as brilliant as her brother
but not as laser focused.

She often
serves as the reason in the “Poker Club” between Emily Pearce’s rage, Franklin Santiago’s cowardice, Tammy Frost’s aggression, Bret Greene’s nonchalant attitude,
and Lee’s obsession.

## Relationship

Ophelia
part of the “Poker Club” along with Lee, Bret, Tammy, Emily, and Franklin.  They often play Flame Kingdom Hold ‘em during
their down time and discuss things.

When she
got to Drop Castle, Ophelia met Arlene Docking, another engineer.  The two have begun a romantic relationship.

## Trivia

Ophelia is
named for the 15th named storm of the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane
Season.
