- Ophelia, in a journal entry



Ophelia Elizabeth Lyricia (Oh-feh-lee-uh Leh-re-ki-ah) is a eighteen-year-old, introverted selective mute who was held back on her first year in Signal Academy due to a mental health problem. After that year, she went through her time at Signal with no other problem, passing her classes in the B range usually. Coming to Beacon, she became the leader of team ORCD and has been making an effort due to her leadership role to be less introverted and mute. She weilds Treble Clef, a weapon that can be a crossbow with unique ammunition, dual daggers, or dual hidden blades which doubles as how she carries it around, and Fortissimo, hand armor on her left hand that is shaped into claws with small compartments to put Dust in, so she can use it in battle.

General Appearance
Ophelia is a small girl sizing at five feet three inches with a weight of 136 pounds. She has an average-sized bust and a skin tone in between a fair and pale tone. Her naturally black hair with a purple-dyed underside reaches her shoulders. Her bangs cover the right side of her face, only allowing for her normal colored eye to be seen usually. Her eyes at first glance seem sweet and caring, but a deeper look into them and you will find a sad, lonely soul behind them. Thus is one of the reasons Ophelia covers one eye with her hair: to hide away from looking at people, so they do not pity her. Another reason she hides her left eyes is because she was born with a double dose of Heterochromia Iridum, complete and partial Heterochromia. Her natural-colored eye is green, but her unnatural-colored eye, her right eye, is purple with a red ring around the pupil. The red in the eye indicates how close she is to her Rage Mode. Her posture is usually very small and closed off; she tends to make herself seem smaller than five foot three and crosses her arms a lot. Due to her leadership status now, she tries to have a more confident posture, but often times, she reverts to her small stature.

Casual Attire
On days where Ophelia is not going off to fight Grimm or criminals or train her skills, she enjoys not wearing her battle gear. On warmer days, the shirt usually is commonly a purple crop top that hang off one shoulder with a cropped black tank top hidden under it to cover her bra strap that'd showed if she didn't wear it. She also wears jean shorts with it, but not short shorts, just shorts; she's just not the kinda of girl who is comfortable in short shorts. In the colder times, Ophelia will don a purple hoodie with artistic graphics on the front and has holes in the ends of her sleeves to put her thumbs through; she'll also switch to jean pants at this time because she's not that crazy. She will always have on sneakers due to her love of sneakers and bracelets covering her left arm due to her coping habits. Ophelia also wears a heart-shaped necklace with a picture of her immediate family when her and her brother were kids; she wears this all the time in combat, at night, on special occassions, etc. Both her shorts and pants always have her emblem on the the left back pockets.

Battle Attire
In combat, Ophelia dons as armor only bracers and armor on her left hand that doubles as a second weapon. She also wears an elbow-length purple shirt that has a musical graphic coming from the bottom left side. The sleeves are bell-shaped and the shirt hangs off Ophelia's shoulders. Underneath is a black shirt that seems like a tank top cause it covers her bra straps and nothing else on her shoulder and then appears again going from her sleeve to her bracers. Her bottoms consist of black jeans with a belt with dust and other stuff she may need in combat and buckled belts strapped on the legs and her emblem on the bottom of the outside of the left leg. Finishing it off is her pair of sneakers, of course. Ophelia's hair usually braided to one side for combat as well.

Nighttime Attire
Usually to bed, Ophelia wears a purple tube top with her emblem on it and black gym shorts in the spring, summer, and fall. In the winter, she opts for a purple long sleeve that hangs off her shoulders parially and black sweatpants with her embem on the left hip. Ophelia wears a black wristband on her left on at night.

Fancy Attire
When Ophelia is needed to look a little nicer for occassions, she wear a black heart-topped dress with purple accents and leggings underneath. She wears a black jean vest over it and sneakers to complete the outfit. She will not be convinced to remove her vest or change her shoes; do not even try. Ophelia also wears bracelets on her left arm in this outfit, too.

Positive Personality Aspects
Once one gets to know Ophelia and become close to her, she can become very outgoing to people though she does not act like that to others besides friends. She cares about her friend very much and even strangers even if she doesn't wish to talk to them; she's just too nice. She is very bright and able to come up with good strategies in combat most times though usually her first plans help her get to successful plans. In combat with a team, she is able to communicate any plans she comes up with very well to her teammates. Ophelia is a very creative girl and tends to make poems, art pieces, stories, and music a lot. Whether they are good or not is to the beholder; "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.". Even though she rarely tries, Ophelia can be a bit funny to some. She also tends to have an infectious mood which also could be bad for herself and others especially when Ophelia gets in a laughing fit. She can also get really into things and focus hard of them which may also be bad, but usually she gets into for a good cause.

Negative Personality Aspects
Ophelia's biggest personality flaw is that she gets upsets very easily. However, she's been working for a few years on this and has improved, but she still gets upset over things, depending on the day. However, if the situation calls for her to stay level-headed, she'll get over herself and focus on the big issue. Another one of her flaws is she can be very negative about her work: art pieces, written pieces, music, etc., constantly critisizing it more than others do. She also has the major tendency to hide her negative feelings a lot under fake positive ones. Her repression of her feelings is one of the reasons she has gained a sort of "Rage Mode" in combat. If someone tries to make her show her real emotion at the time if she's trying to hide it, she will lash out at said person, but usually later, she'll apologize quite a few times. Ophelia also has the dendecy to be a selective mute, only speaking to authority figures because it's polite or her friends because she knows them well. It doesn't mean she will shut you out completely; she will speak up more if you bother her enough or if say, you get put on her team because then you need to communicate. Any other time, she is an introvert towards people; she even tries her best to avoid situations where she's with a crowd of strangers unless it's for schooling or her friends are there with her.

In-Combat Behavior
While fighting an opponent, Ophelia tries to remain calm and collected cause she's aware of the danger if she freaks out during battle. She tries to make a good plan of action to face her challenge and succeed. Sure, her plans aren't genius and work out all of the time, but she keeps trying even when she fails. That's all that matters to her. If she's not dead in a fight, she'll keep going and going and going until she can't fight anymore. Though sometimes when things get tight, she'll end up losing control...

Rage Mode
That's when her Rage Mode kicks in. It's her last resort nowadays, but back in her younger years, she'd go bullistic whenever she couldn't hold in her feelings anymore. Through therapy, however, she has at least learned to control it and use it during combat only and usually when she's on her last legs. Though occassionally it will start in a battle even when she's still got strength to keep fighting. Depends on the situation.

Treble Clef
Treble Clef is a Sonokinetic Dual-Bladed Brossbow that Ophelia designed and forged at her time in Signal Academy like all the students there did.

Crossbow
Its crossbow form looks like regular black and purple crossbow with a scope on top, but behind the limbs, one of the blades of Treble Clef is split open and is still sticking out, so she can use the crossbow form as a melee weapon should anyone surprise attack her while she has her weapon in crossbow form. Her emblem is etched into the handle. The bow in its entirity is a foot long and a foot and two inches wide with arrows and the flight groove about eight inches. The handle is about the same size as a regular pistol and the scope is about three inches long.

Ammunition
Treble Clef uses Ophelia's semblence, Sonokinesis, to create arrows. Ophelia whistles in the direction of the flight groove and takes the sound of her whistle to create an arrow inside it. Then, she shoots it at her enemy. Though as back up, she has five regular arrows strapped to her belt in case she can't make a sound arrow.

Dual Daggers
In the dual dagger form, the handles have her emblem on them again and are black and purple like the crossbow. The blade is seven inches long and the handle is 5 inches. They get dull after fights, so Ophelia does need to sharpen Treble Clef's blades after so many fights.

Dual Hidden Blades
With its dual hidden blade form, the cuffs of the hidden blades are, of course, black and purple with her emblem on the top of them. The hidden blade cuffs slip under her bracers easily, so she doesn't need to take them off to put Treble Clef on. The cuff is about 8 inches and the blade is the same size as in dagger form.

Fortissimo
Fortissimo is Short-Ranged Dust Armor that is made of iron and also doubles as her secondary weapon.

Design
Ophelia wears it on her left hand and covers from her wrist all the way to her fingertips. There are plates for each phalanges and the top of her palm with five extra plates on the end of the fingers that are shaped into claws with a compartment for Dust in each ending plate.

Origin
This weapon use to be owned by her brother who was given it to him by their father. Their father made Fortissimo when he was younger. He originally had intentions of passing his weapon to his first born child, but he decided he didn't want to give it to Ophelia because of the fact she was held back a year. Though when it was given to her brother, he couldn't effectively use his weapon and their father's weapon at the same time, so against his father's wish, he gave the armor to Ophelia.

Close Range
For close range, the armor fingertips are shaped into claws. They do get dull after fights, more quickly than Treble Clef because they're thinner than Treble Clef's blades, so Ophelia needs to sharpen them back up after a couple fights.

Short Range
For longer range, it has small compartments in the tips filled with dust. It holds 5 grams of cut (powdered) Dust in each compartment. Ophelia commonly uses Red Dust (fire) with this weapon.

Disclaimer
A Note from LizzieRose (creator of Ophelia): Until we learn more about different types of Dust, I'm setting Ophelia to using Red Dust most often. If in the future, I find a dust type more suited for her, this will change.

Sonokinesis
Ophelia's semblance is the ability to control sound waves. She can increase or decrease the frequency and volume, shape the sound into a physical object (like perhaps arrows for example), control the direction of a sound, and more. The thing is she needs a previously exsisting sound to control which also means there has to be a medium for sound to have been exsisting around her (air, water, etc.). Also, the more use she is to controlling a certain sound, the better she can control it. For example, Ophelia is most use to using the sound of her voice, so she can control her vocal sounds very, very well, but if she tries to use a stranger's voice, it will be more difficult for her to control properly. She can use her semblance to help her Aura protect herself (like double armor) and can even cause a earthquake by using the sound to vibrate the ground. Ophelia can also make her voice mimic other people's and different sounds; she's like the ultimate impressionist! She is currently trying to teach herself creative ways to use her semblance as well like flying. Even though she can control frequency, Ophelia does not have the ability to make a living being deaf or cause internal damage with her semblance. It is unsure if Ophelia has just not learned the skills or just cannot learn the skills at all.

Note
Another Note From Lizzie: I got the idea for her semblance's capabilities from this Wikia page. If there is something an admin does not agree with, please message me or comment or such. I'd really like to go through the review process once with Ophelia (hopefully).
