Ophelia Mistwalker, a half-elf of 25 years, embodies the essence of the chaotic-good alignment with an adventurous spirit that knows no bounds. Born in the bustling city of Waterdeep, she was raised by her human mother, Leola, in a world that often felt indifferent to her half-drow heritage. Her father, a drow, remained a mystery to her, contributing to her sense of isolation growing up. Yet, it was this very isolation that fueled her desire to connect with others through her music and swordplay, as a bard of the College of Swords.
Ophelia's beauty is as striking as her voice is lyrical, with features that blend the elegance of the elves with the warmth of humans. Her hair, a cascade of silver, often catches the moonlight, and her eyes, a deep violet, reflect her inner turmoil and passion. She dresses in a mix of practical leather armor and flowing silks, a testament to her dual nature as both a warrior and a performer.
At the age of 22, Ophelia found solace in the worship of Eilistraee, the drow goddess of beauty, song, and freedom. This newfound faith not only deepened her connection to her drow heritage but also reinforced her chaotic-good nature, pushing her to seek freedom and joy for herself and others, even if her methods are sometimes impulsive and reckless.
Her journey is one of self-discovery and acceptance, as she navigates the complexities of her heritage and her place in the world. Ophelia's desire to belong and to make a difference drives her forward, often leading her into dangerous adventures where her charisma and sword skills shine. Her unique quirk is her habit of humming a tune softly to herself, a melody that changes with her mood, reflecting her inner world to those who listen closely.
The conflicts in Ophelia's life stem from her struggle to reconcile her drow and human sides, the societal prejudices she faces, and her own impulsive nature that sometimes leads her into trouble. Yet, it is through these trials that she finds her strength and purpose, using her music and blade to carve out a place for herself in a world that is often unforgiving.
