Ophelia-Lila Demoiselle

"Some people have to deal with what others have left behind."

Appearance
Standing at 5’5 and weighing 135lbs, Ophelia has tanned skin with blue eyes and long curly cool dark brown hair that is tied into a loose ponytail and thinly-shaped eyebrows. Ophelia has a small-chubby build with medium chest size. However, Ophelia is a physically fit individual and has passed various huntsman fitness exams in order to get into Haven Academy.

Ophelia’s attire consists of a sleeveless pearl white pinstriped shirt with ruffles down the centre. On her lower half, Ophelia wears a pair of lilac high waisted shorts with 6 gold buttons on the front. Around the sides and back of the shorts is a matching lilac tiered bustle that measures down to Ophelia knees. On her feet, Ophelia wears a pair of dark purple flats.

Personality
Ophelia is a rookie leader but a skilled chorus girl and performer. Meek, timid, but polite and kind, she's described by her peers as a level-headed and an ingenue. Ophelia is also very insecure about herself and constantly needs validation from others about how well she's doing or if she's even needed at all. Ophelia has some wisdom to her, able to share some advice, although not a lot. Ophelia also doesn't like having too much attention draw her to, hence why in performing she sticks to being a chorus girl instead of shining her true potential and being a leading performer.

Besides her passion for performing and singing, Ophelia has multiple hobbies including reading and embroidery. Ophelia has a natural talent for making hand-craft items like knitted wear. Ophelia is also a talented braider and has efficient skills in applying make up because of her stage background. Ophelia is a passionate reader, being able to pick up a book she shows interest in and finish it during her down time.

Ophelia strongly dislikes any hard/heavy rock music and screamo-bands, feeling 'weight down', by it in her own words. When having to hear any sort of heavy metal/screamo-music, Ophelia will vacate the room as fast as she can.

Weapon
Ophelia's weapon is called Chevalier du la Papillon. It is the Hybrid Rotary Dust Sword (HRDS). It is a long sword with one side that has one cross guard and the other side has a knuckle guard of a rapier. On top of the knuckle guard is the 5-chamber dust rotary system that channels dust into the blade of the sword. The blade is made from a clear see-through durable crystal that channels dust from the rotary system on the side. Chevalier du la Papillion does have a sheath, but Ophelia uses it when her weapon is in storage. Chevalier du la Papillion mostly uses Fire, Ice, Wind, Gravity and Electricity dust. Fire dust leaves searing burns on opponents. ice slows down enemies movements and attacks. Wind creates strong gales that can repel Ophelia away from an enemy. Gravity dust gives Ophelia a form of speed boost as it lightens the blade of the weapon and electricity dust gives the enemy a nasty shock.

Ophelia is a proficient Dust caster and excellent sword fighter. She moves around with a dance-like style of movement and uses her acrobatic prowess to dodge and evade attacks, as well as use recoil in attacks to propel herself backwards away from the enemy because of her small body. Ophelia also has high aura, but however has a lack of armour and her semblance can also effect those around her and damage herself if she continuously uses it. Ophelia also has difficulty planning tactics for her teammates and leaves that for her teammate Rhea to do.

Ophelia's aura is a dark lavender colour.

Ophelia's semblance is called ''Aria. ''Aria allows Ophelia to sing a string of notes that will attract everyone who listens to it to her, thus making her the centre of attention. The catch of Aria is that her allies aren’t immune to it, and overuse of her semblance can lead to Ophelia’s voice becoming cracked, even making her mute for a short time.

History
Born on the island of Illyria off the coast of east Sannas, Ophelia was left motherless three days after her birth and was raised by both the hand of her father, Mario Demoiselle and her godmother, Evangeline Grande Fee. Growing up, Ophelia was a talented young girl, her singing and dancing skills emerging as early as 8 years old. She was soon taken in by Evangeline to further develop her skills while her father would take care of Ophelia at home, teaching her to read, write and do math. Evangeline's young and only daughter Meg kept Ophelia company throughout her childhood in the dance rehearsal rooms and everywhere else, quickly becoming Ophelia's best friend. Ophelia also had another close friend, A young boy named Raoul. Growing up, she, Raoul and Meg were the trio of close friends that spent all their time together, and while the two girls went off to dance and sing, Raoul would learn to be a charismatic businessman and viscount from his father and heir the De Chagny family company.

At the age of 13, Ophelia discovered her mother's past. Her mother, a woman named Estelle, was a seasoned and highly skilled huntress before her demise that Ophelia still doesn't know to this day. Her father, ridden with grief over the loss of his beloved wife, gave the sword to Evangeline, who was a close friend of Ophelia's mother. When Ophelia brought up the idea of her following her mother's footsteps and becoming a huntress, most of her peers disagreed, thinking that Ophelia was too kind hearted to hurt even a fly. But she insisted, which people saw as something unusual for someone like Ophelia.

Evangeline took note of this unusual behaviour within her student, and thus agreed. However, Evangeline was a performer, mother and highly respected member of the Illyrian Opera Society, she had no training in what the huntsmen and huntresses did. Mario at first detested in fear of Ophelia getting hurt or killed like his wife was. But seeing his beautiful wife within his daughter's face, the same blue eyes that shined back at him, Mario gave in and gave his blessing for his beloved Ophelia to become a huntress and begin her basic training, as he had no training and wanted Ophelia to be on Illyria before going to Haven Academy in the future. As one final preparation for Ophelia to begin her training, Evangeline, after 13 years, returns the greatest treasure of the Demoiselle family, Chevalier de la Papillon. Even if it's been 13 years, Evangeline knows one person, a close friend of Ophelia's mother who can teach Ophelia the same methods her mother was taught. Xerxes.

Taking Ophelia into the deeper areas of Illyria's capital district, to a small flat apartment, Ophelia was introduced to this so called Xerxes and began her training. Xerxes was a strict man, and Ophelia at first wasn't prepared for the constant amounts of losses in sparring matches. It took a while for Ophelia to figure everything out. With each passing defeat and teasing she received from Xerxes, Ophelia would venture home and think, and plan. While Ophelia continued her combat training with Xerxes, she would also continue to sing and dance with Evangeline and Meg. As Ophelia varied between her dual studies, she began to figure out how to match up against Xerxes. He always told her form was slopping and not like her mother's, how she wasn't graceful in her thrusts and swipes.

Thus, Ophelia began to practice her form with dancing, relaxing her muscles and letting her sword, her mother's sword become one with her. And finally, she was just able to impress Xerxes with her improvement. Each day, for the past 4 years of her training, Ophelia began to develop and grow into a seasoned fighter. And while her skills and talent grew, so did her aura and soon her semblance was obtained. Whilst delving into her multitude of practices in performing arts and fighting, Ophelia and Raoul slowly began spending more time together during Ophelia's free time. The two were closer growing into their mid teens, and while others senses some romantic bond between the two, they couldn't help but deny it out of embarrassment.

After being able to fend off human enemies, Ophelia was introduced to fighting the creatures of Grimm and worked her way through up to being able to fend off groups of simulated grimm. Soon enough, at 17 Ophelia was ready to take on the next step in her journey as a huntress, attending an academy. After applying for the paperwork and passing the entrance exam to Haven, Ophelia was ready to part ways with her friends and family for the year. Meg and Evangeline were easy to big the year's farewell too, and Ophelia couldn't thank Evangeline enough for being there like her mother would've been. While Meg was a bit of a sobbing mess, Raoul expressed his congrats with a kiss. Mario meanwhile was proud of his little angel for her victory and as a last parting gift for the year, crafted a sheath just for Ophelia's sword.

Leaving for Haven filled Ophelia with both excitement and nervousness. She would be miles and miles away from home, from her father and friends. But with her sword by her side, Ophelia began to think that her mother would always be with her within Chevalier du la Papillon, helping her in her future of protecting others and figuring out the enigma that was her mother.
