TEAM-X
Ophelia is a mutant, an empath, hired by a government organisation for her unique talents in emotional manipulation, to work with Major William Stryker's team around the world. Due to a traumatic snap in her psyche when her powers were taxed as her college boyfriend Rictor left her, forgetting to put the note he wrote on the fridge as he left, Ophelia is no longer what one would call 'sane'.
Her powers stop her from feeling her own emotions, her mind snapped in half to protect herself from the torment of the foreign emotions around her and Ophelia was incarcerated in a mental institution for several years under the belief that she was simply psychotic. When she was released, following the realisation that she was in fact a mutant, Ophelia wandered around, before an incident with several members of a SHIELD task force brought Ophelia to the attention of the government and her powers were utilised in several missions before she was assigned to Team-X for further use.
While there, Ophelia has grown slightly, although still clinically insane, she is far more stable in her own control and lashing out. Ophelia has found Rictor again, and gotten her explanation, and now works to try and soothe his guilt for the part he played in her insanity. Along with Rictor's lover, Martini, Ophelia has never felt so right in one place and does enjoy being part of the team.
Even with the rough bumps along the way.
FORTES ET LIBRE
Ophelia Sarah Mayspring was raised in New Jersey with her affluent parents and a well to do lifestyle that gave her an easy and natural understanding of the olden, more decadent times, thanks to a Victorian era Nan-Nan; her great-grandmother. Ophelia, a Shakespearean lover, prodigal violinist and eccentric young woman, travelled to California when it came time to choose a college career, studying Classical Literature and Music.
It was in college that her mutant abilities triggered, and Ophelia found herself bombarded with emotions she couldn't control. They were not her own and with nothing to do, Ophelia simply absorbed them, doing herself more damage in the long run than helping herself. Day by day, the emotions got worse, and Ophelia's mind started to slip.
She was certified insane at the age of nineteen and locked up in Fairweather Sanatorium for three years; under going numerous treatments, various tests, and soaking up a multitude of mental disorders and unruly emotions all the while. She was released under the orders of Dr Eric Knight, a young psychiatrist who understood instantly that she was not insane, but a mutant. Dr Knight wanted to help Ophelia, but the young woman, suffering from a paranoia that was not her own, fled the state and wound up in New York where she remained for several years.
Two years in New York only magnified Ophelia's oddities, and while it was hardly something that made her truly stand out in a city like New York, her powers flared and spun out of control on occasion. It was one such occasion when she rendered an entire building of workers near catatonic that she registered with certain people that she was indeed a rather powerful mutant, and an empath, untrained as she was.
Word eventually reached Ophelia of a home for mutants, a safe place. Her decision wasn't made easily in the least. The school was a little too close to home, although home was probably the Sanatorium she'd been released from when she thought about it. Whatever happened, happened. And with a twisted sense of logic, Ophelia made her way to the house looking to find something she wasn't sure she'd find.
