I, personally, divide IG from IC.
Ophelia, more or less, is an in-progress songstress (or Bard, as the game refers). To be a bard in the actual gameplay, you need levels beneath conjury and archery. Neither suits her though and don't make any sense whatsoever to include in her history/abilities. (Maybe archery one day...). Â So, she's a bard/songstress, but doesn't include the game mechanics of requiring either of the two classes.
However, this is just my personal take on it. The stance on this subject seems to vary greatly from person to person.
So, the short of it really is that you can do what you want for it. If you were a bard, you're more than welcome to somehow incorporate those two classes. On the other hand, you're also more than welcome not to.
As Mr. Bear put it, it's alright to do either, as long as you don't go overpowered/godmod with it. I kind of just follow the golden RP rule of "Don't be a dick."
