Me

Ophelia was created during my COVID watch-through of X-Men: Evolution. I was watching and I was like "Man I should draw someone with a white stripe in their hair." So I did. I finished and colored and realized that I had forgotten to do the white streak 💀 Genius move by me.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Ophelia is an elegant young woman with a regal bearing. Her dark skin is dusted with freckles, particularly across her face and shoulders. Her eyes are gold and she always has flawless eyeliner. Her long, raven black hair has a streak of white accenting it, located on the right side of her face.

### Detailed Appearance

Ophelia, Princess of Vrederin, is an incredibly beautiful young woman. She is regal not only by birthright but by careful study and practice. She is incredibly elegant, poised and proper in the public eye. Some say she's an angel, as no mortal could be so alluring and ethereal. She is the pride of the kingdom, admired by all, and will someday be one of the most powerful bargaining chips her father has in politics. Her most striking feature is the single streak of white in her raven-dark hair. Her hair is thick, very long and wavy, and the white streak is possibly her most defining feature. It is a hereditary trait she shares with her mother and her eldest brother, Crown Prince Oberon. Her eyes are another stunning feature, chilling gold in color. Her gaze is intense and relentless, leading the court poets to compare her to a falcon, wolf, or dragon. Her skin is brown, though on the lighter end of common Vredic skin tones. Her face and shoulders are flecked with freckles. She prefers wearing sleeveless or thin strap gowns to show off the shoulder freckles.

Ophelia, Princess of Vrederin, stands as a living embodiment of ethereal beauty, a radiant figure whose very presence seems to illuminate the kingdom. Her regal bearing is not just a matter of her royal bloodline but a result of tireless dedication to mastering the art of grace and poise. When she enters a room, it is as if she glides, her every movement flowing with an otherworldly elegance that leaves onlookers breathless. Some dare to whisper that she must be an angel in human form, for no mortal could possibly possess such an alluring and ethereal allure.

At the heart of Ophelia's captivating appearance is her striking raven-dark hair, so thick and lustrous that it seems to have a life of its own. Cascading down her back in shimmering waves, it is the stuff of legends. Yet, it is the single, pristine streak of white running through her ebony tresses that stands out as her most defining feature. This streak, a hereditary trait passed down through generations, marks her as a true descendant of her royal lineage. It is said to symbolize the unity of Vrederin's past, present, and future, connecting her to her mother, and her eldest brother, Crown Prince Oberon, in a visual testament to the dynasty's strength.

Ophelia's eyes, a chilling shade of molten gold, are another aspect of her mesmerizing allure. They seem to hold an intense, unwavering gaze that can pierce through even the thickest of political intrigue. Her court poets, inspired by her unwavering resolve, often liken her to mythical creatures—falcon for her keen eyesight, wolf for her cunning, and dragon for her unyielding determination. In the courtly game of politics, Ophelia's eyes are her most potent weapons, revealing nothing of her inner thoughts and intentions while tirelessly observing the machinations of those around her.

Her skin, a flawless canvas for her striking features, bears a beautiful shade of brown, a reminder of her heritage and a reflection of the kingdom's diverse populace. It lies on the lighter end of common Vredic skin tones, granting her a radiant and healthy complexion. But it's the constellation of freckles that grace her face and shoulders that adds an unexpected touch of charm. She often chooses sleeveless or thin-strap gowns to showcase these freckles, embracing her natural beauty and setting a trend for the courtly fashion.

Ophelia is not merely a beautiful princess, but a poised and powerful figure in the world of politics, her beauty acting as a powerful asset in the kingdom's negotiations and alliances. She embodies the pride of Vrederin, a symbol of unity, grace, and unwavering strength, destined to leave an indelible mark on the kingdom's history.

### Detailed Personality

There is a divide within Ophelia. Most of the time, all that is seen of her is the jewel of the court, the only daughter of the royal family. Stoic, quiet, seen but never heard. This version of the princess is perfect for what she is meant to do in court.

When she is alone, though, or with her close friends, Ophelia is a sparkling, witty person. She is very intelligent and loves to debate. Ophelia chases learning and dreams of something beyond the palace walls. She is also bold, defiant, and determined to do anything she sets her mind to.

## Background

### Childhood

Ophelia was born the only daughter of an aging king and queen. She had four older brothers, so the pressure was off of her crown-wise, but her parents were very protective. The only person she got even a little close to was Eislyn, the daughter of one of Ophelia's mother's ladies-in-waiting. They didn't see each other often due to Eislyn's parents being divorced, so Ophelia turned to books for companionship. She also discovered when she was about twelve that she could communicate with ghosts. This ability grew stronger as she aged and she was able to put several spirits to rest.

* 12 yrs - Peace meeting where Eleanor and Octavian are arranged to get married. It goes predictably poorly.

## Other

### Notes

* The white hair is a symbol of the royal family. Only those who bear its mark can inherit the throne, meaning Ophelia is next in line if something happens to Oberon.

### Trivia

* Both Ophelia and Eislyn were intended to be X-Men OCs. They ended up being high fantasy, but both were originally going to be mutants.
* Ophelia enjoys debating. Vrederin will have an interesting time if she ever makes it to the throne.
