History:
Ophelia has always been an explorer and has loved researching faiths, the occult, and local legends. During school she came through Nightwood Falls heading further out to research local legends for a paper in another town. While there she fell in love with the quint village feeling and could tell there was something...hidden there. A sixth sense for stories, or perhaps the call of the Lake, drew her back again and again through her school years. She has spent most summers working or living in the town and once school was done she started working full time at the craft store.
Before coming to Nightwood Falls, as early back as highschool, Ophelia has been involved in whatever local drug scene there was. It started when her older half-brother
began smoking Pot and brought her along. He wouldn't let her smoke and kept her around as a kind of safety line as he tried drugs. In time he let up and she began trying things a little at a time. Though, she would never get rid of the safety line role for those around her. Today Ophelia uses her drug contacts to earn a little cash on the side and supply The Knowing when they request illegal substances.
Her introduction into The Knowing was perhaps longer than most, stretched out over several years. After repeated summer trips to the town she was able to piece together large amounts of local legend and folklore, made friendly with most people in the town, and was slowly showing on the cult's radar. They could sense within her the same darkness that drew them all to the Lake so they let her be for now though they kept close tabs on her. It helped that The Knowing had a particular piece of blackmail: Ophelia and her brother had been secret lovers for years. They tried to keep it a secret and would even date and have sex with other people to help protect the secret and have fun. However, because they often stayed at the Bed and Breakfast Isabella Chung was able to quickly discover this and was also able to keep close tabs on Ophelia.
As school finished and the lovers were able to move into the town more permanently and the Cult put them to their last test. Now living in Nightwood Ophelia thought she would be able to break local histories wide open and finally find whatever that...something that called to her was. However, she was being stone walled. Oh everyone was nice and polite just as they always had been, but no new information was forthcoming, no new connections, no new stories. It was infuriating! More so because her brother seemed to be having no trouble making friendly. He was getting invited to dinners and parties, people she was sure were connected to the town's hidden story were greeting him like an old friend and ignoring her. He told her he had no clue why and was always trying to get her with them, but Ophelia didn't believe him. She was convinced he knew the truth and was shutting her out. It was maddening! She wanted the knowledge! Not him! He didn't even care. He only moved there because she wanted to...or maybe...he did want to, maybe he wanted it all. She became convinced that her brother was going to back stab her and take everything for himself, but she wouldn't let that happen. She began getting word of some large gathering by the lake that her brother was invited to. For once she was actually invited and she was convinced that this was going to be his moment of betrayal. That night as they went to the lake she kept a hunting knife hidden in her clothing. She insisted they arrive early and were able to arrive before anyone else. Once at the lake she drew her brother and lover off into a grove of trees and they made love one last time before she drew her knife and killed him. 36 times she stabbed him and she loved every moment of it. She could feel the call of the Lake more powerful than ever and simply Knew now. As she gasped and panted triumphant, nude, and drenched in blood The Knowing came out of hiding and gathered up the corpse to throw it in the lake. Ophelia was scared at first, but Isabella was there and assured her that she was among friends.

[/li][/list][li]Josie Ng: Their first meeting was when Ophelia broke into the university's library looking for a book in archives. She had made it out with the book but Josie had seen her and was able to make chase. Ophelia had to abandon the book to escape. Ophelia was wearing a mask, but Josie recognized her. It was a minor crime so Josie let it slide. Mostly because she knew Ophelia was being watched as a recruit.
