General Personality:

There are two very distinct sides to the only girl in the Brooks family. At home, she is quiet and doesn't say much because her parents do most of the talking, trying to turn her and and any friends against the other parent or just lecturing on why the current situation is best for the family. She doesn't say much, but inside she is really boiling over and just wants to leave. Being at home is not a fun time for the girl, and when she is at home she tries to get out of the house and see her old friends instead of hanging around with her mother or her father. Overall, she gives off the impression of a moody teenage girl when around her parents. She will stand up for herself and her friends when need be, but she prefers to just tune them out when they are bad-mouthing the other parent. At home, Phi feels torn in two, tied up again, and yanked in a million ways.

However, when not with her parents, she is a very lively young girl. She is always up and doing something, because she is easily bored. Her mind is active, and so is her mouth. She loves to talk to people, and be around them, but sometimes she can talk too much. Her sense of humor is slightly cynical, but never mean. She has a big heart and loves to help everyone out. Fun is always in the near future if you are around the girl. Overall, she is very pleasant and makes a great friend.

Every rose has its thorn, though, and Phi is far from perfect. One of her greatest flaws is that she can be brutally honest. She is not the most charming person, and although her sincere honesty is quite refreshing at times, at other times it can be a bit mean. Sometimes she regrets saying things, yet they just pop out of her mouth and she can't stop them. Of course she will apologize if she didn't mean to say something, but if she did there will be no lying and sugary-sweetness coming from her anytime soon.

The girl also has a temper. She has a sense of loyalty similar to a dog; she will stick by your side till the end. If anyone dares to mess with anyone, whether they are a tiny first-year that she doesn't know or her best friend, they will feel the wrath of Phi faster than you could say "Whoops!' In her childhood, she got into many fistfights over small things that angered her. She wears a shield of armor and doesn't show emotions that much. When she's happy, you'll know, but sometimes she just puts on a brave face even though she's quite miserable inside. If you hit a sensitive nerve, she won't hesitate to beat you over the head with a book you, or punch you if she doesn't have her books. She is usually angered when people poke fun at her background, her family or anyone she loves.

The girl is quite reckless, and loves breaking the rules. She is not afraid of much, except of her parents fighting even more. It scares her to hear them yelling at each other, and it has sometimes reduced her to tears. She is pretty tough and brave. Even if she's really injured, she probably won't shed a tear. Besides not wanting to look all girly and prissy, she doesn't really care. The only times she cries is when her parents are yelling or if people delve too much into her past.

Phi loves to read and is very observant, yet she has a crazy habit of not noticing some really obvious things when it comes to romance. She can't tell when she likes a boy; she will act exactly the same towards them and won't feel awkward at all. She also can't tell if a guy likes her, even if it is blatantly obvious that they are drooling over her. The girl isn't used to being looked at like a girl. She is not the most feminine person in the world, and hates shopping, but sometimes she will dress up and it is a total transformation, although she absolutely despises trying to look 'glamorous' or 'pretty'. It's just not her.

Overall, Miss Brooks is a great friend who will crack you up and watch your back, but being at home makes her quite confused.

Habits:

She tends to bite her nails when she get's a little nervouse. If she's getting annoyed she starts to rub the bridge of her nose, and when she's annoyed beyond anything else but reluctant to say anything she rubs the back of her neck until it turns red. Her ears turn red when she embarrassed if you can call that a habit. If she talks to someone important who could help her, she tends to say something a little stupid and then she starts to mumble.

Pet Peeves:

Girly girls. She can't help it, they get on her nerves. It's not anything in particular...perhaps the preppiness of...preppy people as well.


FLITTING JUST LIKE FIREFLIES

Height & Weight: 5' 4"
Piercings/Tattoos: Her ears are pierced.
Picture:

Appearance:

This isn't...amazing.

Ophelia, in all her "glory"(ha, she would laugh at you) doesn't see herself as strikingly beautiful. She has "aged"(though she's not old) well. At a ripe age of seventeen, she has wavy, shoulder-length, strawberry-blonde hair which is usually pulled up in a bun. Being a student, she has decided that looking strict, stern, and studious but approachable is the best policy. If you can get her to take her hair down, litterally, she looks much better. Moving on though, we see she has a nice face structure, and high cheek bones. Her brows are neatly arched, and are followed by glowing green blue eyes. These are often framed in a pair of minimalistic black glasses. She only uses them for reading though, so she usually carries them in a pocket. Her nose is nicely pointed, and is followed by full lips which part to reveal a stunning smile.

She is of slender body type, but far from frail, and she walks on long legs; these are often covered by a striped slack(black almost always) but have been seen when she finally get's up to go to a party. Her torso is often clothed in a matching jacket over a simple button up blouse. Her arms are almost always filled with books and papers, and are carried by slender, gentle looking hands. She is, in all senses, a man's lady. Only she doesn't have a man. True, students have hit on her, but their advances were rebuffed.

She needs to get out more.

History:

Ophelia Alim Brooks was born on April Fool's Day in 1990 to what started out as a happy family. Logan and Alice Brooks were happy, and they fawned over their first born and only child. She was to grow up in the south, a "Southern Belle" if you wish. She was, however, far from a lady. Well, not far, but you get the idea. At the age of five, she was already exploring under her father's kind but watching eye. Such adventures she had in the swamps of her Louisiana home. She would catch frogs, go fishing; she water skiid in the local lake. Yes, Lake Charles was her world, and she loved it. She went to her cousin's houses, boat houses, and jumped off the roofs into the water. She would, of course, surface to cries of reliefe from her mother and aunts.

When she turned eleven, she noticed a tension between her parents she had not seen before. Their marriage seemed to be less of a marriage and more of a business deal. Her father was always gone, traveling and looking for new species. Her mother worked late nights on cases. This left a young Ophelia with baby sitters, and too many toys. She began to see that these toys were meant to take the place of her parents: they failed. It was as such for the next several years. Through middle school she was an outcast, for one reason she knew she could never ask her parents about. She had suddenly found she could change shapes. Only into animals, so she was limited, but she could change nonetheless. It scared her for a long while. Then she just got used to it. She started to use it to her advantage. She would listen to her parent's arguments as a mouse, or another small animal after they told her to go to her room...when they were there at least. Then she heard it. One night it happned:

Logan slammed the cabinet. "Is that what you want?! You want to just end this now?! Because dammit Alice, I'm done." Alice smiled softly, sadly. "I...I believe it is for the best." In an attempt to remove the snarl from her soon to be ex-husband, she said,"At least there's no need to pay a lawer. I'll do it for free." Logan snorted softly, letting his head fall. "Well.....I suppose this is it. I can stay here, or at a hotel, or my mom's place until we get it settled." Alice nodded. "Logan...you're still my best friend." Logan looked up, the small, crooked grin Ophelia had gained from him on his face. His eyes, Ophelia had them too, sparkled. "You're mine too." They hugged. It was over.

Ophelia never really forgave her parents, but she understood. She was excited beyond comprehension when she was accepted into the Academy. This was the school where she wouldn't be out of place. She loved the school like nothing else, it was her real home. It was her hidaway. She worked hard, as always, and tried to recieve high marks. She plans to be successful. Her only flaw: She's given up relationships. Good luck breaking that brick wall.
