– “SHIT, THAT WAS FAST,” CLAIRE OBSERVES, although she’s not really one to judge. “’tis the season, am i right?” claire looks down the hallway. “anyway, i think there’s one on the left? although your blood sugar’s probably off the charts right now, maybe you should take it easy.”
ophelia waggles her fingers at claire, viewing her through a topsy-turvy lens. “i don’t know what you mean, darling claire.” she hiccups. “i’m just filling that void, as one does.”
ophelia dramatically slumped down on the sofa in the dorm lounge, her head flopping off of the cushions and her feet up over the back. her hair hung off the edge haphazardly. “i thing we need a-- what are they called?” she pulled a lolipop from her skirt pocket. “a vending machine. for sweets. i’m running out from the kilo bag i bought when i went into town last week.”
⌠ COURTNEY EATON, 20, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER ⌡ welcome back to gallagher academy, OPHELIA PRIOR! according to their records, they’re a THIRD year, specializing in THREAT ELIMINATION; and they DID NOT go to a spy prep high school. when i see them walking around in the halls, i usually see a flash of bubblegum pink eyeliner, the sharp scent of foliage, and contraband sweets. when it’s the gemini’s birthday on 5/21/99, they always request BUTTERED PEAS from the school’s chefs. looks like they’re well on their way to graduation. ⌿ nessie, 23, she/her, pst ⍀
ya girl’s MESSED UP lmao
tw for cult mentions, abuse, and psychological torture up ahead
okay so ophelia was taken as a baby by her aunt to be a member of a cult masked as a commune in the utah countryside. her name was changed and she was stripped of all individualism
her aunt died when she was four and she was put into a home with the other orphaned children where they were forced to do manual labour
but she was a clever girl who often acted out, which resulted in punishments, the most common of which was going without shoes for days on end as she completed work on their land
eventually as she got older she fell prey to more and more of the cult’s tricks but never felt like she fit in which, ironic amirite
the cult was broken up by a team of gallagher alumna and ophelia begged them to get her out of there
she was expecting just a normal school, but was instead delivered to gallagher at the age of 17
ophelia knew how to fight from getting into scrapes with the other kids, and was adept at typical spy skills simply from living with the cult, but the administration knew she was clearly unhinged
ophie is very sweet and loves very feminine things that can border on childish. she’s a candy fiend
she also has this aura about her that’s oddly scary even though she never actively says anything that disturbs people
she has no boundaries or sense of decorum. politeness is foreign to her. once a professor described her as a feral cat
