Strengths⊗
✘Honesty - Ophelia will let you know if your fly is down, if you need to apologize for something, or if she really thinks you're cool. She's also the queen of TMI and will probably tell you personal things you really don't want to hear.
✘Determination - No matter how long it takes, if Ophelia really wants something. She will damn well get it.
✘Big Heart - Underneath her tough reaper chick act, she's actually pretty gentle and caring to someone she values. Get on her good list and you've got a fierce protector.

Weaknesses⊗
✘Violent - It's not always pleasant around Ophelia, and she tends to hit people she likes more than people she doesn't like. While this can catch people off-guard at first, it makes her predictable later on. And a pain to be around.
✘Soft - Play on her girly emotions, or better yet, find out about her secret hobbies, and you'll have her under your thumb. She's easy to trick if you're nice to her. But it's a gamble if you want to blackmail her. When Ophelia gets pissed, most people run. But holding a loved one hostage will end in her surrender.
✘Weak Body - As a side-effect from her tea, Ophelia is prone to sickness, especially magic involving disease or illness. Her lack of clothing doesn't exactly help her keep the colds at bay.





☠ Further Information ☠

Magic Focus⊗ Supportive Song (think bard). Ophelia uses her voice to sing spells on others. While she is able to use a minimal amount of "buffs" on her allies, her specialty lies in debilitating her enemies. She must continually sing the song to channel the spell, any unintentional breaks in the lyrics creating a gap where the victim can break free of its effects. Continuing the song from there could put the effect back, but it's less likely than from the start. Completing the song without any interruption causes the effect to linger for a few moments longer without her needing to sing.

Ophelia struggles in offensive magic and only uses her scythe to turn into a microphone to project her songs, or keeps it as a scythe to finish off opponents or defend herself.

She's looking for a partner in the reaper association who excells in offensive magic/tactics so that she can sing her foes into submission while her partner takes them down, rather than struggling to sing and fight at the same time.

Personality⊗ Ophelia Thanos is spunky, loud, energetic. She's known for being over-the-top and verging on violent tendencies. She strives for greatness, despite being far from it. She acts tough around everyone, trying to be the "hero" some people view Reapers as. But surprisingly enough, she doesn't have any personal grudges against majinn or witch eaters, despite the general dislike of them that all people carry. She considers taking them down as "part of the job" and although she puts her all into it, she sees little reason in taking down majinn that are trying to live peaceful lives. In fact, she respects those kinds that don't give into their primal urges.

Ophelia tends to blast what sounds like heavy metal or hard rock all the time. She is often seen lip-syncing the words, if not humming or actually singing them. She almost never takes her headphones off unless she really does want to hear you. It's kind of hard to get her attention.

She never shares her playlist. And tends to give others slightly demeaning nicknames.

And yet deep down, below her 'tough cookie' front, she's a girl through and through. She collects stuffed animals and Alchemia like there is no tomorrow. She listens to acoustic love songs, reads romantic books, and plays romance games. She wears little clothing in her pathetic attempt to find a boyfriend, and is actually a very emotional girl, despite her near-anti-social appearance.

History⊗ As a young girl, Ophelia was raised by her mother and father. They got her what she needed, but not necessarily what she wanted. She lived a simple life, and was sent to the Makai Royal Academy as soon as she turned 17.

While not the brightest bulb in the bunch, she isn't stupid, and works hard to please the people she cares about. And while she managed to learn all of the bare basics, she never excelled in any offensive magic, preferring to weaken her opponents until she could easily beat them with what little strength she had. And even then, she used song to channel her spells.

And yet, her parents were disappointed in her. They expected her to be powerful and take down foes quickly and easily, not slowly pick away at them over long periods of time. And especially using something so frivolous as singing? The girl warbled enough at home and they had to take extra expenses to sound-proof her room to sleep at night. But that was easier said than done, and supportive musical magic was the only thing she was good at.

One instructor told her that her magic would be just as useful as a good firebolt or swift blade. As little as that seemed to him, his words struck a chord in Ophelia's heart, and sometimes she'd repeat them just to keep herself going.

Still working hard, Ophelia managed to graduate from the Academy at the age of 18, on her second attempt at the witch trial.

As a witch, she remained with her parents, practicing and training hard each day to strengthen her skills. Her parents still kept some distance, as if reluctant to speak to the girl who didn't grow into the mold they wanted.

A higher-ranking reaper once passed by her house, to hear her voice from within her open bedroom window. He could feel the magic laced in her words, and even when she sings an everyday song, the emotions of the lyrics are amplified slightly to the listeners. A sad song that wouldn't have made the reaper bat an eyelash soon felt a lump in his throat, as if choking back tears.

Seeing her potential, as the instructor from the academy once did, he asked her and her parents for permission to enlist her into the Reaper Organization. Her parents were all too willing to get her out of the house and agreed right away. Needless to say, Ophelia was just as willing to join a group known for being talented and strong. She was dying to prove to her parents that she -was- strong.

She now lives alone in an apartment in the northeastern side of Moonfall.
