As with all Pheran, Ophene is a fairly tall woman standing about just about 6 feet some inches (with her ears adding more to that.)  She has a light tan to what would be naturally pale skin otherwise.  Overall, she has a slender build with fairly muscular legs which, in reality, looks like just the average Pheran.

[B]Clothing/Armor:[/B]
Ophene’s armor is a light (and somewhat revealing) set of cloth/leather armor that also doubles as her typical clothing.  It’s protective power is. . . Light, to say the least.  It protects her vital parts enough, but her general finesse should be enough to keep her out of harms way.  

It was a parting gift from her teacher as she traveled to the new world with an enchantment on it to help casting spells, making it easier to come up with the magical resources necessary to cast spells.

[b]Personality[/b]
Ophene is a somewhat scholarly person though not to the point that she slacks in her physical training.  She enjoys learning about new things, and is likely the main reason she decides to travel to the new world.  As a standard, she's a fairly nice person.  She cares little where one comes from, as the only thing that matters is whether or not they can be patient though she isn't too much a fan of those with angry or depressing dispositions.

[B]History:[/B] 
Ophene grew up as many Pheran did, helping her parents out every now and then when they needed help with their jobs or just around the house.  However, when she was ten, she had to decide what she wanted to do.  Many children are pushed to join either the local Magic School or the Militia though many do not.  Instead, Ophene did what most would consider either overconfidence or pure stupidity. . . She wanted to learn both the blade and magic.

One of the older magic scholars saw her desire and felt obligated to help.  “If you are willing to study both then you will have to first spend a year or two studying just the blade,” he said.  The man gave her no name, but insisted that she called him, “Teacher.”

Ophene agreed to his terms and studied the blade for two years, returning to “Teacher” when she had.  Smiling, he told her that she would continue her swordsmanship during the day but he would teach her at night.

This continued for three years.  She grasped the concepts well and Teacher was impressed with her dedication to both the Magical and Martial Arts.  Teacher then gave her a book that talked of an ancient technique from old Pheran Mages that imbued their power into their weapons, giving temporary effects such as a fire covered sword.  It even detailed that more advanced forms created temporary blades from magic itself. . .  Ophene was intrigued and the two studied and helped form her current style of combat. 

She then decided to journey to Oar’s Rest to explore the new world.  She had no idea what she would find, but whatever she did would be bound to be great!


[B]Weapons:[/B]

-Steel Rapier: A thing steel weapon that is designed for piercing a target. “Stick them with the pointy end” one source says.  It’s a standard piece of Pheran weaponry.

[B]Physical Skills:[/B]
-[i]Rapier Practice[/i] -  Ophene has practiced using the piercing weapon called a rapier.  It’s lightness helps in the practice of Spellcraft as opposed to other types of weapons and helps complement her natural nimbleness.

-[i]Pheran Nimbleness and Acrobatics[/i] - With a flimsy weapon, Ophene depends on her natural and trained athletic and acrobatic skills to avoid hits. 

-[i]Pheran Hearing[/i] - As is a natural feature with the Pheran, Ophene has super-heightened hearing.  While not quite echo-location, it helps with finding her way in the dark or hearing far off noises.  

[B]Magic:[/B]
[i]“Fire”[/i] - Ophene has been taught how to either shoot off a firebolt from her fingers or imbue her rapier with the power of fire, wrapping her blade in a supernatural fire that burns all it touches.

[i]Healing Touch[/i] - As a gift from her teacher, Ophene was lightly taught how to heal wounds with magic.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b]

-Flimsy Weapon: As her rapier is a somewhat flimsy weapon, Ophene is unable to block with it, though she could effectively parry a lighter weapon.

-Lightly Armored: With barely any armor on, Ophene must consider that she should not take a strike or a bite or whatever would happen to come at her.
