@Aya It's both. Ophelia has become very stale to RP, because to me she feels.. flat? I'm not sure the right word for it.
And her history has always been lacking and frankly, nonexistant. The story I came up with was an attempt to add history to her while giving her a story to explore that's actually interesting, while hopefully (and apparently very unsuccessfully) explaining a logical transformation into an Au Ra that wasn't people going "Whoopsy potions"
I want to keep Ophelia's personality, her talents and everything, and her teahouse. And it feels very cheap to me to make an Au Ra alt that is literally just Ophelia anyway, including a teahouse that I really love to have, and just get rid of the original Ophelia.
