;; appearance
general;;
Ofelia was a quick developer; long before her friends had she’d already obtained a woman’s body. Something, which at the time had knocked her confidence as she had been, teased a lot. Ofelia reaches 5ft 6 about average height for a female, she has golden tanned skin from being out in the sun a lot.
Ofelia is the splitting image of her mother; she has the same long brown locks, which falls in loose natural curls around her face. She has large brown eyes and thin eyebrows that emphasise her every emotion. Her lips are plump and are usually turned up in a smile. Although her twin and her are non-identical they have many similar attributes and when they where younger looked almost the same. However now they have both grown and the differences are obvious.
Ofelia’s wardrobe is very extravagant she loves black dresses and often wears many different styles of black dress and lace. She is seen at work usually wearing a plain black dress and heels or black skirt and shirt with heels. She is rarely seen in trousers. Make-up wise she wears thick black eyeliner, which makes her eyes, seem almost black and emotionless, she doesn’t wear much else in the form of make-up but sometimes she may where deep red rouge.

;; personality
general;;
Ofelia has changed over the years, she used to be full of life and vivacious, however life has been cruel and she changed to suit it better. She takes nothing for granted and works very hard to survive, one false move and the Dark Lord would hunt her down and kill her.
She can be very cold at times, and finds it difficult to empathise with others preferring to lock all emotion away. There are not many people that can draw out emotion in her but the ones that do usually have some sort of connection with her in the first place.
She is the type of person who likes to get a job done, she hates to mess about and will go straight out and do it. This is probably why The Dark Lord trusts her with important jobs. She has always been an independent thinker and is very headstrong.

;; origins
general;;
Ofelia was born in a small village near Malaga on the Spanish coast; she lived in a four-roomed house Kitchen, Living room, and two bedrooms. She was two minutes older than her sister Mercedes and as the two grew up in the small Spanish village she decided it gave her automatic authority.
The two non-identical twin sisters grew up together not knowing about their magical ability’s or the wizarding worlds. Times where hard then, they didn’t have much money and they had to work hard on the small farm they owned to keep the family going.
Ofelia was seven years old when her sister Mercedes started to do strange things, she was able to move buckets of water easily just by looking at them when she was frustrated by how heavy they where. Ofelia quickly became jealous of her sisters ability why did she get to do these things and she couldn’t? It was a late Sunday afternoon when she discovered she could also do these things, she was angry because her sister had managed to do her chores quicker than her and somehow Ofelia managed to transfer her sister from the fence she was watching Ofelia on to the small muddy puddle about six metres from the fence.
It was then their mother (father died in an accident) told the two that their father had been a wizard. She explained all about the wizarding world and she said how she had never told them before because she was unsure if the two had inherited his ability.
Their mother moved them to a small council house in London; it was a huge change for the two from the small Village to the large town but they quickly adjusted. They received their letter to Hogwarts as soon as they turned 12 it was an incredibly exciting time for Ofelia who was finally glad to get a bit of freedom from home.
She was sorted into Ravenclaw and spent her years studying hard, however the wizarding world had changed dramatically The Dark Lord taking over. She kept her head down and finished Hogwarts with very good grades. Not long after leaving Hogwarts she fell pregnant with Sam Butlers child, he was merely a muggle she’d been messing around a bit and she hadn’t expected for this to happen. She was going to have an abortion when her sister offered to take the child. Ofelia thought about and decided why shouldn’t she? At least she wouldn’t be killing the child and it would have a good life.
So as soon as she gave birth to the child she gave it to Mercedes quite happily, and then she disappeared not contacting Mercedes again.
She travelled around the world finding out as much she could about dark magic, somehow she was intrigued by it. She was drawn into a gang of Death eaters and slowly worked her way up the ranks until she found herself in the Dark Lords inner circle.
He placed her at Hogwarts asking her to watch Severus Snape to make sure he was still loyal. Ofelia didn’t ask any questions, questions got you killed. So she took up the position and worked quite happily there for a few years managing to avoid those she least wanted to see.
However this year as she was gazing down the list of students to join a name caught her eye ___Cruz. Ofelia has never been the maternal sort but it worried her that she would have to teach the child, she knew Mercedes would have never told the child she was her birth mother but at the same time wondered what she had said about her…

;; roleplaying
sample;;
Christine and Elizabeth walked down the street towards the Opera house, she’d promised Elizabeth she would take her to the opera and show her the dancers. One day Christine planned on letting her daughter attend there like she had, it would be hard for Christine to let Elizabeth stay in the opera dormitory’s but she wanted her to have the whole experience, rather than going everyday to the opera house from their home. Of course if Elizabeth didn’t like it she could leave but Christine had a sneaking suspicion she would love it just as she herself had.
The two had just been to the restaurant they often went to as a family for lunch, the sun was shining and Christine couldn’t help be excited about showing her only daughter the Opera house. She knew Elizabeth would love it just as she had and still did and knew it would be a new experience for her, she had seen ballets in Brussels but they where nothing compared to the opera’s in Paris. Christine expected they would be rehearsing right now, but she planned on booking a balcony for the family later in the week.
Christine looked down at Elizabeth who was walking next to her; Christine couldn’t help but be surprised by how tall she was. Everyday she seemed to grow and get bigger, Christine still saw her as the baby that slept peacefully in her arms but Elizabeth wasn’t a baby anymore and Christine realised that if she closed her eyes for a minute she would be a women without her even realising it.
As the two rounded the corner the large Opera house loomed up in font of them in all its grandeur, “There it is Elizabeth” she said with a smile, Christine had of course told Elizabeth story’s of working in the opera house but she had left out the Opera Ghost…Erik. She didn’t want her children to know about him or be frightened by the thought
