Ophelia is a dateable character in Dead Wishes. Her route is available in the demo.
Ophelia is a stylist who works with Lucien. She has a very high opinion of herself and doesn’t shy away from voicing her opinion. She wants to rid the world of ugliness.
Appearance[]
Ophelia is a woman in her early 20's with pink hair styled in twintails and crimson eyes. Her appearance has been described as "cute" and "doll-like," a stark contrast to her prickly personality.
She dresses fancily, donning an ornate, gothic lolita inspired ensemble. She wears a short dress with an ashy purple top, long puff sleeves, dark brown lace detailing, and ruffles tied with a red ribbon at her neck. Her skirt is high waisted and fluffy and is made of brown fabric decorated with golden embroidery detailing and three pairs of golden roses on her torso connected by chains. Her skirt has an open center panel from which a red ruffled underskirt peeks through, finished off with a big red bow on her back. Her accessories include dark maroon tights and a hair ribbon with roses decorating the sides. Her CGs portray her with criss-crossed hairclips on the sides of her bangs.
Personality[]
Ophelia has a personality that is often difficult to get along with and she does not attempt to censor herself. She freely speaks her mind, even if her thoughts are unkind, because she believes that it's better to tell people the harsh truth rather than sugarcoat her words. This makes her a good foil to Lucien, a character who uses flattery to get what he wants. She thinks highly of herself and takes pride in her work. She is an incredibly hard worker, often picking up Lucien's slack and putting effort in to make their escort business thrive.
Deep down, Ophelia is a very insecure person, afraid of being cast aside and abandoned. She is very possessive and jealous over the ones she holds dear, and desperately clings to them in moments of distress. When her tough exterior falls away, she is shown to have a soft side. She is afraid of the dark, has an extreme sweet tooth, is very easily embarrassed, and hugs her stuffed animals at night. Beneath all of the sharp remarks and confidence, what Ophelia wants is someone to love and understand her. Although Ophelia speaks with disregard to the feelings of those around her, she does show concern for the people Lucien sleeps with because she knows that he doesn't care about them. She places a lot of importance on relationships and intimacy, stating that she thinks sex is something you should do with someone you love.
As most Dead Wishes characters do, Ophelia has a dark side to her. She is stated to enjoy the work she does for Mateo, finding it extremely cathartic. She is shown to be willing to murder, picking off a few escorts at a time under Lucien's nose and showing little to no remorse for her actions, seeing it as a way of rebelling against Lucien.
Relationships[]
Allegra Campana[]
Allegra states in her route that Ophelia is her best (and only) friend, and Ophelia describes Allegra as her favorite person in the world. The pair often frequent a café for coffee and sweets, and Ophelia commissions Allegra to sew outfits for her. Ophelia is often very possessive of Allegra, and has a tendency to speak over her. In some routes the two are shown to be in a romantic relationship.
Lucien[]
Ophelia deeply despises Lucien, mainly for how he uses people (sexually and non-sexually) and then throws them away when they have no more utility to him. Ophelia is very vocal about her dislike for Lucien, verbally berating him almost every chance she gets. However, despite her hatred and harsh words, she does fear Lucien. She knows that he isn't above doing horrible things to her if he didn't find her useful anymore, and worries for her safety. It is also stated that Lucien attempted to sexually assault Ophelia at some point.
Mateo[]
Ophelia works with Allegra to supply Mateo with fresh corpses. She generally dislikes Mateo and thinks he's creepy, and she doesn't like the weird things he often says, however she has some confidence that she could use his help if she were in a crisis.
Trivia[]
- Ophelia makes reference to "drowning herself" as an homage to the Shakespeare's character in Hamlet.
- Ophelia's character flower is the white hydrangea because they have a dual meaning; often being related to vanity and narcissism, but also symbolizing compassion. A vase of white hydrangeas can be spotted in Ophelia's bedroom.
