Ophelie N. Shūkaku

Early Life
Ophelie was born to Yujiro Shūkaku, prior to him gaining the name of one of the more shorter-lived leaders of the Moisson Clan, and his wife Leanna. She had a twin sister, named Onora and a younger brother named Ferran, who she never got along with ever since they were children.

Ophelie was raised with very high expectations, being the eldest of only three children. Her mother, Leanna, died when Ophelie was 7, after giving birth to her younger brother, Ferran.

Becoming Leader of the Shūkaku Clan
In the year 1616, after her father's death, Ophelie would take the throne, at only 15 years old. She was advised by the 250 year old Shigeharu Mutō, who had many years of experience at the side of the Shūkaku Clan’s leaders. Him and Ophelie had very conflicting views, meaning they did not always agree with one another at the worst of times.

Meeting Katsuyo
By 1686, after 170 years of leadership, the Shūkaku Clan began to crumble, as more and more people turned to a group of 'modernists' in the clan that despised Ophelie and wanted change. Her own sister, Onora, was one of these people. She ordered Ophelie’s assassination many times, all of which Ophelie escaped alive. Ophelie was aware that Onora was behind many, if not all of the attacks, but could not prove she was responsible for them. One attack, however, would turn out differently than the rest.

Ophelie was attacked on the way through a nearby village within the Shūkaku Clan’s land, while travelling in her personal carriage. She was rendered unconscious by a strong blast of magic and left for dead. All but one of her guards accompanying her were killed, the survivor retreating back to the clan. Ophelie was taken out of the wreckage and brought into the home of an alchemist in the village, named Katsuyo Nakajima. Ophelie spent two days there before returning to the clan fully healed.

Ophelie later returned to the village to thank Katsuyo and offer her dinner at the clan. Katsuyo accepted and stayed in the clan grounds for some time. Katsuyo quickly began to realise that she was falling in love with Ophelie and tried to sneak away from her back home. Ophelie caught her alone, where Katsuyo confessed to her. Ophelie did not say she returned her feelings, but did not say she didn’t either. She asked Katsuyo if she could stay a little longer and Katsuyo accepted.

The two fell deeper in love and dated for a couple of months. However, it was a difficult relationship to maintain due to Ophelie’s dedication to leading the clan and Katsuyo not always being at the clan grounds to spend time with Ophelie. Ophelie reluctantly broke up with Katsuyo, seeming indifferent, almost apathetic about it, breaking Katsuyo’s heart.

Personality
Ophelie was depicted in many ways, some as a benevolent queen who did no wrong, others as a nasty, corrupt and greedy woman who could never let go of the old ways.

Ophelie was a wise, independent woman who, for nearly 170 years ran an entire clan through wars without fail. She did, however, have internal flaws which dragged her down in ability and overall wellbeing. Ophelie was extremely devoted to her role as leader, so much so that she pushed away the idea of having time to herself, or anyone else. She saw love in any form for herself as a distraction from her purpose which she had to fulfil. Ophelie was normally calm and slow to anger, but in the presence of Onora or her advisor Shigeharu she often became bitter and prone to lashing out at her and anyone else around her.

Appearance
Ophelie was a tall woman of an average-athletic build, often being praised for her exceptionally young looks for her age. She had tanned skin and short, black hair tied in a bun then let down to her shoulders. She had glowing pink eyes, a relatively rare trait in the Oscuri race. She had a beauty mark below her right eye, and a notch in her right eyebrow. Ophelie had notably wide shoulders, a rare trait for a female, giving her an 'inverted triangle' figure. Both of her earlobes were also stretched.

Often she wore the Shūkaku Clan's original silver crown atop her head. She rarely wore anything other than her floral light blue and purple kimono, with a patterned obi and traditional slippers.

 * Ophelie once had a tail. She cut it off following a military tradition in the Shūkaku Clan, that stated that all military members should cut their tails off to prevent them being grabbed by an enemy.
