“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching -- they are your family.”
– J I M B U T C H E ROphélie is still growing. However her current height is five foot five. Chances are she'll reach five foot seven or eight before she stops. She has pale skin covered in freckles. Sometimes she likes them and leaves them uncovered. Other times she hates them and applies cover up so they're less noticeable. Her body type is slim, something she inherited from her mother. She only weighs 120 pounds. Because of this she's pretty much a plank. She has no curves whatsoever to speak of. She doesn't even have to wear a bra because she's so flat.
Ophélie has red hair. Depending on the light it can either appear darker or lighter. Though in the summer it is a lot lighter than in the winter time, mainly because of the proportionate amount of time spent outdoors. Her red hair hits her upper back, about midway/bottom on her shoulder blades. When she tilts her head back she can feel it hit her lower back. She typically wears her hair down. On occasion she'll braid it or even let her friends mess with her hair. She will never do anything fancy with it. Unless her mother makes her.
Ophélie doesn't have the typical blue eyes associated with red heads. Instead her eyes are black. Her father calls them pools of obsidian. Of course he's usually talking about her mother's eyes...
Due to her pale complexion she cannot wear certain colors in her wardrobe. Earth tones are the best colors on her. Reds, yellows, pinks, etc. doesn't do her any favors. On a typical day Ophélie usually wears jeans, ballet flats and a loose fitting shirt. Her idea of dressing up means swapping out her jeans for a skirt. (Usually floral print)
Ophélie doesn't have any scars or piercings. She doesn't like earrings, because she tends to forget she's wearing them and then somehow yank them out. Which hurts. So she doesn't bother.
Ophélie has so much swagger all the boys are jelly. When she walks into a room, it's like she owns it. She doesn't shy away from anyone and always makes eye contact. She also smiles a lot. When she does smile her mouth tends to lift further on the left side than the rights, making it a little lopsided. There is also a small dimple on her chin that appears when she smiles.

"Lily" by her family. It started when her niece couldn't pronounce her name right. When her siblings started it, Ophélie accepted it as a nickname. Gradually even her parents started doing it.
"O" by close friends. After watching Home, Ophélie's friends took up calling her "O".
"Philly" by nearly everyone. This is Ophélie's most common nickname. And her default one when someone tries, but fails to pronounce her name. Consequently, this is her favorite. Most of the time she actually prefers this name.
"Philly Cheesestake and Fries" by anyone who wishes to die a horrible death.

- Art Deco/Art Nouveau/Pretty much any art revivalist style of the 1800-1960s
- Surprisingly Ophélie likes nerdy/geeky things like tabletop RPGs, Video Games, and Comics (Marvel > DC)
- Hiking
- Her family and friends (Obviously)
- Trying new things (Foods, new places, etc.)
- Lazy days when it rains and it's cool enough she can sprawl out in front of a fireplace and read.

- Being called Ophelia. Ophelia was a woman who was incapable of independent thought or action. It was so severe they even made it a name of a disorder called the Ophelia Syndrome. Which is where an individual is completely reliant on others.
- Being called Philly Cheesestakes and Fries. Yes, there is a story behind that. And no, she wont tell you. Either you know, or you don't.
- Being wrong
- Pain. Ophélie's a wimp when it comes to pain. She'll whine and whine if it hurts even a little.
- Being ignored. Ophélie's a social butterfly and doesn't suffer loneliness well.
- Know-it-alls. Everyone needs improvement
- Self-centered people. The world doesn't revolve around anyone not even you.
H A B I T S
- Rubbing a small grouping of hair across her lips. It's weird, and even she'll admit that. However she likes the velvety feel of her hair on her lips. Though don't confuse this with munching on her hair, because eww, gross.
- Biting her nails, or anything else that's accessable (pins, quills, etc) when bored.
- Smiling. It so is a habit for Ophélie. Sometimes her friends will ask her what she's smiling about, and she doesn't even realize she's doing it. Especially in awkward situations.

Ophélie is a very nice person, if you're nice to her. She loves to be around people and will generally try to make friends with everyone. However if you brush her off, or are rude, she'll make no effort to include you. In her opinion the ball's in your court. She put in her effort, you need to put in yours if you want to be friends. She's a firm believer of meeting people halfway.
That said Ophélie might make friends with anyone, but she doesn't conciser them close friends unless they meet certain criteria. Because her best friends are basically family. And family is very important to Ophélie. Family might make you angry, frustrated, or worse. But they're always worth it in the end. They're the people you come back to over and over. And on the flip side, even if she vexes them, makes them pull out their hair or turn grey prematurely. They're there for her too.
Ophélie cares a lot. And she doesn't care who knows it. She's fiercely loyal to her family and close friends. If you mess with them, you mess with her. And Ophélie doesn't forgive easily. It's not that she nurses grudges and will get revenge later. She wont, because she's a very upfront and frank person. She wont wait to call you out. Rather, she doesn't forgive until she's sure you're honest about it. Casual "sorry"s don't cut it in her book.
Ophélie is also very confident, self aware and some might even say narcissistic. She knows what she's capable of and she's not shy about it. So much so that some people have given her a nickname that rhymes with witch and is far less flattering. She doesn't compromise on her morals or standards, not even for her friends or families.
Still, there are times when Ophélie would like nothing more than to kick back and take the load off. Mostly she's "on" with a fierce drive to learn and to succeed. It's not often she'll let herself rest and just enjoy a day. But when she does she turns into a very easy going person and will often just lay on the grass and contemplate the mysteries of the universe.

Ophélie was born to Lea and Christopher Moore. Her mother was Lea Lemaire, a french woman. She was born and raised in southern France. She graduated from Beauxbatons when she was eighteen and traveled to the United States. There she meet Chris, her future husband. They didn't marry at first, but when she discovered she was pregnant (she was only 19) Lea panicked. Her father was a very unforgiving man and would rain down the wrath of Hell upon her if she had a child out of wedlock.
Instead of letting Lea get an abortion like she wanted, Chris instead proposed. The two had five more children over the course of twenty years. Her last child was born when she was thirty two. Ophélie was the second to last child born. The six children are grouped in two sets. The first set is the older Moore children. They are all out of the house and pursuing their own lives. They are also all in their twenties. They are close friends to each other. The second set are the younger children. Ophélie, Babs and Steve. They are still going to school at Salem. They are also close friends.
There is a very start difference between the Moore family and the Lemaires. The later is a pure blood family with all the traditions and trappings that come with it. The Moores are a very diverse family. They've mixed their blood with muggles and other non-pure bloods. They are very casual about the whole wizarding thing. This dichotomy created more than a little strain in Ophélie's household. Her mother Lea wanted to raise her children like she had been raised. Her father Chris wanted the same.
In the end they ended up somewhere in between. Every two years the Moores would travel to France and live with the Lemaires in their ancestral home. The rest of the time they lived in the midwest of America. As a young child Ophélie was introduced to the idea that she'd live in two worlds. All the Moores never neglected the muggle life. They never separated themselves from the muggle world or the wizarding world. Because of this Ophélie was expected not only to graduate from Salem, but also from the muggle equivalent.
Because of this Ophélie is friends with a lot of muggle kids her age. They all think it's weird that the Moores all sent their children to a private school. But in the way of the West, it was live and let live. The fact that Ophélie had summer school just made the other kids glad they weren't her.
F A M I L Y
The Moore family doesn't really have any reputation in the Wizarding world. They're your common family. The working class that you forget about. But that suits them just fine. They don't need fame nor fortune.
The Lemaire family on the other hand is a Pure Blood French Wizarding family. In Fance they are very well respected. Generations of the Lmaire family have gone to Beauxbatons. The Lemaires have produced their fair share of dark wizards. But they don't talk about it.

Strip Me - Natasha BedingfieldLa-la-la-la-la la
lala la la-la la lala
[repeat]
Everyday I fight for all my future somethings
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime earning things I don't need
That's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'll be alright
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh ooh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that!
I don't need a microphone yeah
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That's always on eleven
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'm still the same
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh ooh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that!
Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
Makes you think about, think about it doesn't it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh ooh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh oh)
You ain't taking that!
