WTW PREPTOBER ; protagonist or antagonist « the garden of earthly delights »

“You,” the man says, “must be Ophie.”

→ ophélie lourens de constans → twenty-three ; she/her ; born in the now-dissolved land of corant → currently living in argent's queen-city → only child of coranti poisoner bartolom lourens, dead fifteen years for his crimes

There are only so many lies I can tell. Most of them are wasted on small things: I am not lonely. I am not alone. I am not scared of death, that great gray specter looming ahead of my every step.

→ selectively mute after witnessing her father's brutal murder → rarely smiles, seeking to appear as neutral as possible → flinches away from magic, the thing that killed her father in the end

“Why is it,” I ask, “that they only ever seem to see you and not me?” “Because,” he answers easily, “you don’t want to be seen.”

→ frugal with her small income, preparing for an uncertain future → perhaps she truly wants nothing more than what she has

If Father could see me now, I would tell him: I am grown older, and I am grown deadly. I am no longer the little girl you raised; I cannot even speak her language.

→ or perhaps, like any wronged soul, she grips the blade tight behind her back and waits her turn for vengeance

“Ophélie,” I respond with a sardonic low curtsy. “My lord.”
