When we'll get to see Mother Ophelia?

Here she is! This is Ophelia, mother to Lucille, her 11 other siblings and matriarch of their big ole family! She also acts as a mother figure to Balan and Lance

I've been finally sorting out my huge mess of lore and I have some notes for the beginning of Balan and Lance's strange story! Basically, Balan and Lance both awoke one day around what seemed to be the ages of 4-5. Like in the novel, they seemed to speak each other's names without even knowing each other, only that they were brothers and they were in a strange new place, like some abandoned -though, oddly spotless and fully stocked- Theatre, with no memories of anything before it.

They find their way to the Isle of Tims after a few days, and met two lil Frost Fairies by the names of Lucille and Felise. As kids do, Lucille commented on how weird Balan and Lance looked, and how they were 'pretty strange looking for costumes'. Ophelia wasn't far away before she found the four of them playing, and did her best to understand who these two strange new faces were. Something seemed familiar about them, and about their names, but she couldn't place where.

But! It was no matter, they were two little kids who needed a parental influence, and so she promptly adopted them on the spot. Balan and Lance would both stay at her home, and other times they would remain by themselves in the theatre. Ophelia wasn't sure about this, because they're just two little kids, and kids that age really shouldn't be on their own. But oddly enough, the Theatre seemed to take care of them like any parent would. It provided food, enrichment, and took care of every need without so much as a creak. It was strange, the whole situation made no sense, but it worked.

 "Let all dead things lie dead; none such     Are soft to touch.

I love you and I do not love,     Too much, a little, not at all: Too much, and never yet enough."
