FEARS: motherhood, the day when she’ll lose a patient, spiders being poisonous.
SECRETS: Up until the age of eight she had an imaginary friend named Darius. He was a penguin who could speak eight languages and who told her that she should become a doctor one day.
PERSONALITY: There are endless ways to describe Ophelia, it’s hard to know where to begin. She’s strong, and deadly determined. There’s nothing that can deter her once her mind is fixed on something. Passionate and with high morals it’s foolish to get in her way because she will take someone down if she thinks they are in her way and in the wrong. She’ll stand up for the underdog, and comes across to most as fearless and oozing with a confidence that might even border on arrogance. Ophelia has been taught to mask her weaknesses, which she does excellently. No one sees her cry, and her poker face is one of the best out there. She’s caring though, not at all cold, but knows there is a line between professionalism and letting personal feelings get involved. Ambitious and determined to prove herself as one of the best in everything she does, Ophelia is proud and won’t ever settle for second place, making her fiercely competitive at times. She’s a realist who won’t ever let giddy emotions get the better of her, but at the same time she won’t wallow in misery either. Ophelia will stand her ground and can’t be trodden on. She also won’t let anyone else be used as a doormat either, and is quick to jump to the defence of anyone and just about everyone even if it puts her at risk. She’s more unpredictable than most people seem to think, and enjoys it when she catches people off guard with her choices. Career driven, Ophelia doesn’t really make the time for romance. She needs a man to be able to surprise her before she’ll give him an honest chance at pursuing a relationship with her. In her experience they’re all too predictable or too disappointing to keep around.

HISTORY: An officer and a gentleman, Kevin helped Emily one night when her car broke down on the side of the street and he was out on patrol. He hadn’t been with the Baltimore PD long, and she was a young history teacher at the same high school where she was once a student. She found his chivalry charming, and he found her shyness cute. It was only the beginning, but it was love at first sight. Within two years they were living together, another one and they were engaged and two years later saw them as husband and wife and moving from their tiny apartment to a nice little house perfect for starting a family. They started trying immediately, but it took almost another year before they were successful.

When their daughter came screaming into the world the proud parents had no idea what the future might hold for her. However, it turned out that Ophelia was aptly named. Tragedy introduced itself to her very early in life. She was just one when her mother died suddenly from endocarditis. No one saw it coming and Emily had just assumed she was coming down with the same flu that was hitting most of the staff and students at work. By the time anyone realised that something was more seriously wrong, it was too late. Kevin was devastated by the loss of his wife, and he had no idea how he was going to raise Ophelia without Emily in his life. That was when his younger brother Ryan stepped in. Ryan was the total opposite of Kevin; reckless, impractical, and foolish. He was family though, and he was able to look after a baby while Kevin worked double shifts and climbed the ranks to detective, working through his grief in the only way he could. His career and his overprotectiveness of Ophelia was all he had to help him through the pain of losing Emily.

After losing his wife, and with the career his was in, Kevin became overly protective of Ophelia. He didn’t want to lose his little girl like he had lost his wife. If Ophelia had a little sniffle he was prone to overreacting, and she wasn’t allowed to play outside beyond the front lawn. As she grew older that overprotectiveness took the form of curfews, interrogating friends, and refusing to let Ophelia do things that most kids her age would be doing. Sometimes she kicked up a fuss, stomped her foot and demanded more of a life, but Kevin very rarely relented. He couldn’t lose his daughter and he was scared of anything happening to her when she was away from home.

Her freedom came from her uncle. He was more lax on the rules and would let her stay out an hour later when her dad was working the late shift. Ryan was the fun uncle every kid wanted. He hid the boyfriends from Kevin in the early stages, he picked Ophelia up from places when she wouldn’t make it home on time. Every teenage girl kept secrets from her father, but Ophelia felt like her list never ended. She loved her father for caring so much, but she needed to live her life just like the rest of her friends. Her uncle allowed her to do that, but he also had his own run-ins with Kevin when he went out on the weekends and got drunk. Those were the weekends when Ophelia stayed home and studied. It was like an arrangement where they got alternate weekends and custody of the fun.

Ever since she was a little girl Ophelia dreamt of being a doctor, so she knew she needed to work harder than she partied. Thankfully that was an arrangement her father could easily go for. Never knowing her mother, she only found out what had happened to her, in detail, when she was twelve, but long before that, back when she had run around the house with an imaginary friend named Darius who was a penguin, she was told by him that she should be a doctor. Finding out how her mother had died and how it had been too late to save her life had only cemented that dream. Ophelia was always ambitious and there was nothing going to stop her from getting this either. She didn’t care if working hard in science and maths made her geeky to her classmates.

However, when it came to going to college there was a problem. Kevin didn’t want his daughter moving far from home. Ryan tried to convince him otherwise, but he was just as stubborn as his daughter could be. They fought for months until eventually Ophelia threatened to just pack and bag and run away. She told Kevin that it would be a million times worse than losing his wife because he would have to live with knowing that she was out there somewhere but just never wanted to see him again. It did the trick. He relented, and as such Ophelia promised not to move to the other side of the country. She accepted an offer from a school in New York. It was far enough for her to have the freedom she wanted, but still close enough for her father and uncle to come and meet her for a day if they really wanted to. It was what she wanted. New York offered her what she needed and she got to take those steps closer to her dream.
