After all it's reference as the<em>kingdom</em>to north is no mere mistake of semantics. Long before the industrial revolution it enjoys today, Avredo was a much more traditional monarchy, ruled by the Avredanni bloodline. Of course as the current state of affairs would suggest, this dynasty would not last forever, and it was during the reign of the infamously brutal Oberon Avredanni, "The King in Red", that the populace rose up and the monarchy was officially overthrown. In an attempt to display their moral enlightenment and distance themselves from the cruelty of the king (as well as smooth the transition for those still holding loyalty to the royal family), the royal family were not executed, save for the king himself who had been cut down in a failed attempt at a prison revolt. And while stripped of their political power, they were allowed to keep a portion of their wealth and estates and continue living freely under the new government.<br/><br/>Over the next few generations the royal family would slowly reintegrate into society in a much more positive light. No longer figures of authority, they were instead a face of tradition and ceremony, more celebrities than anything. They would be invited out to various ceremonial events and celebrations, and many would use their wealth and prestige to pursue charitable causes and fund various forms of industry and research. Some descendants would even go on to rise to high military positions, though they were forbidden from being elected to high office. All in all the Avredanni were more beloved after they were unseated from power than they ever were on the throne, a situation that seemed to benefit everyone in the long run.<br/><br/>However their story is not all comedy, and while the family had been spared vengeance at the hands of their mortal subjects, a different kind of curse would befall them. Over the years, once in a generation, members of the Avredanni family would claim to be haunted by a malevolent spirit. A tall, hulking figure, garbed in red and perpetually seething in anger. The specter was none other than the soul of Oberon Avredanni, trapped to the mortal world by his rage and indignation at his upheaval, focusing it all upon his family who had simply submitted to the new regime's law rather than fighting to avenge his death, a clear betrayal in his eyes. The family made many attempts to expunge the spirit, none worked. And even when they appeared to banish him, the phantom would simply reemerge years later to haunt the next descendant down the line.  As the years went by and belief in the divine and occult started to wane, the family's curse would eventually be dismissed as simple madness, a curse not of magic but of a diseased bloodline.<br/><br/>It was into this bloodline that Ophelia was born, the youngest daughter of the newest generation of the Avredanni. She too has been haunted by the crimson king, however unlike the others, she had also been blessed with a gift, latent psychic abilities that allowed her reign in enraged spirit. Over time she even managed to communicate with him, and, amazingly still, forged a sort of familial bond with him. When news of the undead attacks spread, Ophelia was one of the many nobles and industrialists who put their backing behind Heathfire. However when the government refused to broker peace for the greater good, and the rest of her family was unwilling to act against their decision, Ophelia decided to take the matter in her own hands, and if Oberon still considered himself the true king of these lands, then she would draft his service in defending it as well. Sneaking through the estate, Ophelia would steal enough money to buy herself safe travel, though not enough to be missed, and donned a suit of armor and weapons from the trophy hall to disguise herself as a knight and took off on her own, seeking to track down Fargold and lend whatever aid she could.<br/><br/><br/>Personality: Ophelia is strong willed and earnest girl, having faced her share of terrors ever since she was little, and coming out stronger for it. Of course such experiences didn't leave her completely unscathed of course, years of being haunted has left her easily paranoid and suspicious, and the feeling of isolation she experienced, both because of her "madness" and the strange powers she feared sharing, can make it difficult for her to properly socialize. She can put up an elegant and cool act well enough, but if one looks closely they can see an underlying awkwardness and timidity in her body language, and the closer she gets to someone, the greater this timidness grows. In combat she can also be cold and pragmatic, almost to the point of cruelty, a sign of her ancestor's influence rubbing off on her. Despite that though, she is kindhearted and empathetic, and will always try to do what is right, even if it proves difficult.<br/>
