Appearance

HAIR COLOR: brown
EYE COLOR brown
SKIN COLOR: light brown
OTHER TRAITS: Ophelia has a magic-induced scar that covers most of her back
OVERALL APPEARANCE: Ophelia has a very intimidating demeanor. She is tall, about 5'10, and she does not smile often. She cares very much about her appearance, so she normally appears very clean and well-kept. Ophelia uses her illusion to cast a certain "glow" to her skin that makes her seem more perfect than an average person. Her voluminous hair is normally left down and is fairly long. She is very fit, but instead of having huge muscles, her exercise has made her skinny.

DISLIKES: cheese, J.A.M., liars, caves, clocks, babies crying
FEARS: rebellion from lesser magic users, mortality, failure, becoming unknown, intimacy
GENERAL PERSONALITY: Ophelia has a one-track mind. She wants nothing but to be seen and worshiped as THE God. She is very tense around people because she wants to be seen as intimidating, but when she is alone, Ophelia enjoys reading and singing along with her television. Her past has caused her to have a sort of zealous approach to magic. She believes that her powers make her the best, and that everyone else must be destroyed. To Ophelia, the Defenders are simply a means to an end that she plans on one day destroying and being on her own side. She trusts no one, but she expects people to be completely honest with her. Ophelia likes to use fear and pain to punish people and get what she wants. She believes that her cause is pure, and that the end - her being a God - justifies the means (Very Machiavelli-like approach to life).

History

As a child, Ophelia was nothing. Her odd obsession with animals made people look at her as weird, and she had no friends. However, Ophelia could always count on her parents to love her. All of that changed when she turned ten and found a strange person at her door. It was a magician by the name of Jason. 
Jason was invited into Ophelia's home by her parents for some odd reason, but Ophelia knew something was off. Her parents had never before met this Jason, and Ophelia had absolutely no recollection of him. She had noticed that Jason was staring at her too much, but it wasn't in the way that a boy longs for a girl. There was a certain hunger that could not be described as good. Ophelia felt extremely uncomfortable and asked for her parents to make Jason leave. They did not respond, for they were under his influence.
It was now that Jacob began to tell Ophelia about how he was a teacher of magic and how she was a magician. While this was a lot for her to take in, Ophelia was not surprised at her power. She had always known that she was better. In fact, she was too good for this person to take her in and train her. Once Ophelia told Jason that, his anger flared and he grabbed her by the arm, attempting to tell her that she could only be safe with him. However, before he got anything out, Ophelia exploded with a combination of anger and electricity, electrocuting everyone in the house. 
Ophelia was the only one that survived her own wrath, but it was not without a terrifyingly huge wound on her back. Her entire family was gone in the blink of an eye, and rather than blaming herself, Ophelia put all of the blame on Jason.
Ophelia knew she could not stay home, so she ran as soon as her back stopped bleeding, which was remarkably soon. Not long after she ran, Ophelia found herself being followed by a group known as the Defenders. They had sensed her aura and were hellbent on destroying her. The moment that they had caught up to Ophelia, they found her sitting patiently for them. She asked them what their mission was, and they said to eradicate magic-users. 
Ophelia had found her people. People that would not stop until the impure magicians were destroyed. She did not agree with their reasons, but they did not need to know that. Ophelia had found a group that would ensure that she would never have to go through a loss as awful as her parents ever again. 
In her time hunting down magicians, Ophelia realized that her raw power was much more powerful than the other magicians she was hunting down. As her powers developed, Ophelia came to believe that she was was destined to rule over humans and magicians alike. Ophelia used her powers to help her rise up through the ranks of the Defenders until she herself became their leader. They would never know that one day she planned to end them, and to this day she waits for that moment of reckoning.

RP Sample

Today was the day. Freedom. Clara looked back and forth at her fellow prisoners and a burning happiness brimmed inside of her. She had been here for four years, spending eight hours a day being forced information down her throat and then being expected to spit it all back out on an exam. Today was her day, and she knew it, too.
"Clara Buchanan," came the voice of her warden. Clara stood up and walked towards the stage, her hands trembling with excitement as she took her release form from the warden and shook his hand with her free hand. She stopped, smiled a moment, perhaps fro another mugshot, and quickly walked back off the stage. 
She had finally escaped.
Now onto college.
