Personal History

Early Years

Ophelia Haydern was born as a healthy child to Dr. Hans Haydern and his wife Beatrice in April of 1985. Throughout her childhood, however, it became ever more apparent that while the child was gifted, she also lacked any level of interest or ambition. All through middle school and high school, Ophelia kept taking shortcuts, cheated, hung out with the wrong crowds and overall became an insufferable and entitled person convinced that the world wasn't good enough for her. However, owing to her intellect, she still managed to stay at the top of her class even if her attendance and behavious left much to wish for. While most students were sitting up all night studying for the exams, she was having out drinking and partying with the other rejects, only to show up on exam day and ace every test. Many of her classmates called her "The bitch that Karma forgot about" due to her attitude. Eventually, Ophelia enrolled at MIT on her parents' behest, her father wishing for her to follow in his footsteps of bioengineering. KNowing fully well that as long as she tugged on her daddy's heartstrings he'd let her do whatever she wanted to, Ophelia agreed and went on towards University life in the states.

And did she love it. The states was much more fun than her "boring life" in England and Ophelia soon found herself surrounded by new friends, prompting her to drop her old posse like a bad habit. Just as before, Ophelia's cares was only for herself and her own fun. Late night parties, hangovers, one-night-stands, all of it. However, the higher standards and levels of MIT wouldn't quite allow Ophelia to live just of her talent anymore and she soon fell behind in her studies, gravely so. It got bad to the point where her parents decided to cut her allowance, meaning she could no longer pay for her exorbitant habits anymore. Ophelia was furious with them but had no way of showing them up but by finishing her education. However, frustrated and looking for quick cash, Ophelia was eventually given an opportunity when she was approached by a recruiter for VIPER, offering her a rather lucrative internship with their nearby nest as they were looking for Bioengineers for a new project. Ophelia, completely free of any moral high grounds, readily agreed to the proposition.

Personal File

Appearence

Personality

Ophelia's personality type is INFJ; Introverted, iNtuitive, Feeling, Judging, of the Turbulent variety.

INFJs tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all. /.../ Though soft-spoken, they have very strong opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – INFJs will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance.

Character Diamond

Goal-Oriented

Ophelia always keeps her eyes on the price, focusing all of her efforts on the task at hand, be it a short-term goal such as saving civilians from the clutches of a supervillain, or a more dire and lengthy undertaking such as her own pet project of curing mutations in humans. She dislikes the idea of working without a proper cause and will generally steer away from trivialities if she can help it, and she has very little patience with those that do not take their role as a Hero seriously or with dignity. While focused on the goal however, she does not think that the end justifies the means, especially not of those means are in direct opposition to what one tries to aspire. This puts her in a strong conflict with many, of not all vigilantes that roam Millenium city. A side note of this is however that she tends to get competative, especially when it comes to sports or other recreational activities. She never sets her eyes on losing, after all, and goal-oriented as she is she will focus all her efforts on winning.

Self-Conscious

Noone is more aware of Ophelia's appearence than she herself, and it's something that's slowly eating her from the inside out. She couldn't deny that part of her wishes to be a normal human being again and this is partly the reason for her tireless vigilance in working towards a "cure" for people in her position. Her self-conscioussness is also directed internally, causing her to be extremely self-critical and rarely allowing herself to rest or make mistakes. She generally dislikes using her powers, as they remind her of what she is, even more so than the scales covering her body.

Repentant

Ophelia is convinced that the experimentation on her and the subsequent mutation is some sort of karmatic punishment for what she did while working for VIPER. Her feelings of guilt is the primary reason for her pursuing the path of a superheroine, as well as the reason why she's never given up on finding a cure for the mutation. Far as she's concerned, Ophelia claims that the day she finds the cure is the day she'll forgive herself for her past sins. Until that day, she will work only for the sake of others, and never for her own sake. This causes her to be rather self-sacrificing and altruistic, always considering others before herself even if she doesn't like to show it. She doesn't like the idea of being looked upon as a martyr, as that isn't punishing enough for what she's done.

Reserved

Ophelia is generally reserved and collected, both in speech and mannerisms. She tries her best to remain professional in all situations, rarely allowing her emotions to show and even more rare is sharing her true feelings with others. While she's certainly willing to listen to others and help them with their problems, she generally keeps her own emotions shut in so as to not get pitied. Through being reclusive, she punishes herself further by keeping her own emotions locked up as tightly as she can muster. To her, the importance is not her own well-being, but that of others, and she has her priorities set and have no interest in changing them anytime soon.
