Appearance
• Physical: Ethereal and otherworldly with long silver hair she wears loose, pale blue eyes that seem to look through people, and a perpetual dreamy expression. Her movements are slow and deliberate. • Clothing: Flowing robes in dreamlike colors that shift and shimmer, with jewelry incorporating dreamcatcher designs. Bears the Diviner's circlet. • Distinguishing Marks: Her eyes are permanently dilated from dream-walking; a faint scent of lavender follows her everywhere.
Relationships
- Family - None surviving; considers her apprentices family
- Allies - The royal family; Sister Morwen (shared interest in visions); other diviners
- Rivals - Those who distrust dream magic; skeptics who question her interpretations
Personality
- Traits: Otherworldly, genuinely gifted, struggles to distinguish dream from waking, surprisingly practical when focused
- Mannerisms: Speaks in dream imagery; often seems distracted by unseen things; becomes intensely focused during divination
- Voice: Soft and distant, as if speaking from far away. Sometimes finishes sentences that weren't spoken aloud.
Backstory
Ophelia was born with the rare gift of dream-walking and was trained by the previous Court Diviner. She's served three monarchs, interpreting dreams and visions to guide the kingdom. The line between her dreams and reality has grown thin over the years.
Daily Life
Sleeps during the day to dream-walk at night, interprets the royal family's dreams, maintains the palace's dream wards, trains apprentices in the dangerous art of dream interpretation.
Secret
Ophelia has been visited in dreams by something that claims to be an ancient god. It offers her power and knowledge in exchange for... something she hasn't been able to understand. She's terrified but increasingly tempted.
Story Hooks
- 1 She needs help understanding what the dream entity wants before she gives in to temptation
- 2 Someone is using dream magic to spy on the royal family, and she needs help identifying them
