Ophelia can be described, quite simply, as consisting of only hard edges. Though in her experience people tend to prefer the word bitch, which she takes as a glowing compliment. She is completely ruled by sass and spite, even with the few friends she has, sarcastic is her default mode. She is always ready for a verbal battle, her tongue ready to spit out a sarcastic, scathing retort. It's not just her tongue that keeps other at bay though, Ophelia is knows her powers tend to creep most people out, most people don't tend to think of death in a warm comforting light. And she'll use this to her advantage, playing up her creepy side, calling all manner of dead bugs back to life just to trail up the arms of anyone on her bad side.
If you haven't guessed yet, Ophelia isn't the welcoming, friendly type. She doesn't encourage or seek out friendships, and the rare times she does it takes a very special type of person. She believes she has enough friends and feels no need to accept unsuitable people into her inner circle. Once upon a time she used to think the best in people but she has no time for rose-tinted glasses anymore, in her experience people don't get better with more exposure. Ophelia is happy to judge people on a first impression, one dumb or ignorant comment and your done. Especially if that ignorant comment is about Anubis, people seem to forget that he's the protector of the dead, not the cause of it.
To Ophelia you are either a loved, cherished friend, or nothing at all, she doesn't have the time or patience for people who sit in the middle. And to those friends, she is the most loyal friend you could ever ask for, perhaps more loyal than you were hoping for. She'll go to the mat for you without any hesitation, using her finely honed spite to to destroy anyone who even thinks about messing with you. If you dislike someone, she'll hate them, without ever needing a reason to.
Ophelia is also a little on the nerdy side, even though that might be hard to believe given her appearance and tendency to smuggle in alcohol to the academy. But she loves research and studying, she's a bookworm to her very core. She dusted off the Bronte novels when she was 9, and has read every single book on Egyptian gods in the academy's library, twice. Most days you'll find her in her regular spot in the library, right by the fireplace, with her nose is some large dusty book. Her book smarts only adds do her distaste of ignorance.

PARENTAGE | Anubis
NECROMANCY | Ophelia can harness the spirits of the dead, and their death force to practice dark magic. All she's learnt has been the result of lots and lots of study, most spells being bogus or outdated. Her necromancy abilities range from putting a curse of someone to finding lost keys. Though they all involve complicated setups with sulfur, blood and whole lot of other dark art supplies.
DEATH COMMUNICATION | She can communicate with the dead, occasionally there are persistent ghosts that haunt the living which she can see and talk to, but most of her communication with the dead is a result of her necromancy, summoning dead spirits with the purpose of communication.
UNDEAD SUMMONING | Ophelia can bring things back to life, though they never come back just right and there are serious repercussions for these powers. She brought Etienne her neighbours cat back from the dead when she was 8 and ended up in a coma for three weeks. However now Etienne's 3-legged skeleton follows her every move, he was her first familiar, but he has since been joined by a scorpion named Tock.

STRENGTHS | Ophelia is book smart, she doesn't shy away from a mountain of hard research and is widely read. She knows a whole lot about a lot of dry topics. She's also loyal, never abandoning someone she cares about, or turning her back on them. She has also spent a lot of time practicing and honing her abilities, making her rather adepts at using her magic. Her globe-trotting life style before Icarus Academy means that she has a strong grip of several languages.
WEAKNESSES | For her sharp tongue, she is a small, bone-y person, physically weak and not made for combat. Being that she gets along with just about no one, Ophelia is terrible at teamwork. And people don't want to be on a team with a bitch. Ophelia's loyalty is also a weakness because she backs up her friends too much, drawn to act illogically and unsafely just to support a friend's grumble.
FEARS | Ophelia doesn't have many people who she loves and esteems, so she's devoted to them and losing them would ruin her. She also fears rejection, it's why she pushes people away first before they can do the same to her, rejecting her for her powers ad heritage, labeling her the creepy girl.

Ophelia's mother's dream was to be a ballerina. She never managed to make anything of herself, but everything in her life was weighed and valued based on hos it affect that dream. Hence, her accidental pregnancy was despised because it threatened that dream, and the resulting child, Ophelia, was a nuisance that got in the way of auditions and rehearsals. And she's never been much more to her mother.
She was born in Paris where she lived until she was 8, and a hint of her rolling french accent can still be heard if you know to look for it. By eight she had already attended two academies and a boarding school, being kicked out of all three for causing trouble, which mostly meant creeping out the other kids. Though back then she didn't mean to, she had a large heart aching for friends, but getting only classmates who hid caterpillars in the bag of the weird girl.
That was when her neighbors cat, Etienne was hit by a motorcycle and died, right in front of her. Using her powers she brought him back to life but fell into a three week coma, giving some of her life force to him. He didn't come back wrong though, he reeked of death and his fur fell off him in patches. Eventually all the fat and fur fell away leaving him with his current skeletal state, but before that their neighbors become horrified by glimpses of their ghost cat haunting the streets. So Ophelia and her mother moved to Barcelona.
They would move about Europe for the next 5 years, never staying in one place longer than 3 months and Ophelia being sent to boarding schools wherever her mother could find/afford. After all even at 37 she still had her one single dream, Demigod daughter or not.
By the time Ophelia turned 13, her mother couldn't send her to Icarus Academy quick enough.
