At a Glance
The ruddy sabled fur of this wolf tends to look wispy and flyaway, an effect not helped by the ethereal distance in her amber eyes (which indicates a mind often ungrounded in the here-and-now). She generally moves with lightfooted grace, but generally also with a touch of melodramatic overacting.
Profile of Ophelia: Details
Appearance
A slight, objectively rather beautiful, and still relatively young wolf, Ophelia’s wolf-gray fur has a distinct red tinge to many of its gray layers. Her pelt is a little bit thinner than average, and in the right lighting can stand out like a dandelion’s crown in a halo around her thin frame. Her amber-golden eyes are often soft and unfocused, possibly making one wonder if she actually sees the things—or canines!—standing right in front of her, or is lost in some dreamworld of her own.

She most often carries herself with delicate apprehension, floating along the ground like a ghost, a likeness enhanced by her otherworldly gaze and tendency to daydream. Her paws, belly, and face (in particular, her brow and muzzle) are much whiter than the rest of her. She laments the fact that her back “cape” is tipped darker than she'd like, her eyes have a smudge of darkness radiating from their outer corners, and her paws are umber-speckled rather than pristine white, but these “flaws” are generally not noticed by anyone else until she wails and points them out.
Personality
In Ophelia’s mind, life is a romance novel—or if it isn’t, it ought to be. She sees herself as the tragic heroine of her own story, to the point that she now introduces herself to all as “Ophelia,” seeing this as a name suitable for her short but-oh-so-tragic life thus far. She tries to keep herself poised, with the controlled, graceful movement of a trained actress, but she can also be something of a drama queen and move with great exaggeration, not all of which is quite faked.

She plays the part of the helpless princess, and although she is definitely a stronger and more capable creature than she once was, sometimes it’s even true. She is often carried away by the stories she enacts within her own head, some of which is taken from tales she’s been told by others and some of which is all her own mad invention. Although Ophelia is a name she melodramatically crowned herself with, it’s fairly clearly not an entirely unsuitable reference...

She has been known on occasion to write really terrible poetry and inflict it on others. (Be forewarned. <.< )
Biography
***NOTE: Some details will likely be changed ifwhen this character is made active!***


The smallest and least hardy of her litter, Ophelia was fussed over and somewhat spoiled by her parents, who feared she might not have the strength to reach adulthood. Physically, at least, she did; mentally, that question still seems somewhat up in the air. Her upbringing encouraged hysterical theatrics of the most terrible type, and led her to grow into almost a parody of herself, as is evident from her dramamongering and sometimes-nonsensical, magical, quasi-tragical patterns of thinking.

Not all of her life tragedies are invented out of whole cloth: her beloved mate, a sheep guardian that (following family disapproval, as appropriate for The Heroine) she ran off with, was killed within a few months of her first litter’s birth. Their romance was filled with all the pathos of a poetic, sheltered teenager’s first love, but (despite Ophelia's conviction that her One True Love and Only Chance at Happiness was lost) in truth had a real element of “mere” “puppy love.” Neither of them really knew what they were talking about, or what they were doing (as evidenced by their truly horrid parenting); most of their offspring died fairly early on as well. Ophelia and her growing son Galahad made their way to Glacier Park Teekon in early August 2013 to start a new life for themselves.
