From the moment Ophelia was born, there wasn’t a fight that she couldn’t take on. Born a month early on October 31st, the girl was not expected to be fully functional let alone live. Her mother was addicted to drugs and was using the entire time that she was pregnant with Ophelia, and when she was born her mother vanished leaving the baby to be a ward of the state.
Growing up was not easy for Ophelia. Being known as the foster kid or the child no one wanted was rough on her. The constant bullying made it so the girl decided enough was enough and fought back. Learning how to defend herself, Ophelia started teaching herself different styles of fighting and started to become stronger and faster than the people who normally came after her.
Graduating high school by the skin of her teeth, Ophelia decided that she wanted to get the hell out of Louisiana. So she did, with nothing but a backpack of clothes and the money she had saved up from working 2 jobs. Buying a bus ticket, the young girl found herself in Jericho looking for a fresh start. She started out waitressing and cleaning houses, trying to get money to afford the small apartment that she had rented. Though she was busting her ass to make ends meet, O never felt more free or alive.
When Ophelia was 21 she got into a bar fight with some local boys. One of them was harassing another girl and she went to stop it. One thing turned into another and all of them were getting arrested, Ophelia getting slapped with assault charges for cutting the guy’s ear half off.
That was when she met Alessa.
To say the older woman had been drawn to Ophelia was an understatement. She had managed to convince the police that the man had it coming and got the charges dropped and Ophelia released. Though the girl was thankful that it wouldn’t be on her record, she was wary of the older woman. The only people in her life ever doing anything for her were people who only ever needed stuff in return. Alessa seemed to do it because she cared.
It took a few months but eventually Ophelia came to trust the older woman who eventually treated her like her own daughter. Growing close to her family, Ophelia started realizing that this is what she was missing. The hole in her heart that had been apparent growing up was finally starting to close.
Eventually, Ophelia ended up joining Alessa’s group, The Vixens and ended up moving up to be their Enforcer. It’s been 5 years since she joined and the girl hasn’t looked back since. One thing is for sure, she would do anything for her new family and protect them at any cost.
