Opal

Princess Opalescence Emily Mila (a.k.a. Opal)

Opalescence, or, as she prefers to be called, Opal, is the Zorra princess of Zorra's Domain and heir to the Zorra throne. She is also the Zorra Champion chosen to pilot the Titan Beast Vah Luma against Scourge. She is blessed with the gift of healing from Eloh and is the chiefest spearwoman in Zorra’s domain.

Unlike other members of her social rank, Opal resents being reminded of her status with titles like "princess", "Champion", or "your highness". She insists on people adressing her simply as Opal, nothing more nothing less. Her father, King Doraphen, likes to call her “river gem” and “my little star” when they are in leisurely company. Triton, her childhood friend, is the only non family member she allows to use her second name. Her second name was chosen by her deceased mother Lona and is the only complete memory Opal has of her, so she guards it closely out of respect and reverence to her mother.

She falls in love with Lenk, the Hiland Champion. Throughout the course of the preparation and final battle with Scourge, their romantic relationship took many turns and even a temporary break up when Lenk chose to persue a simultaneous relationship with Princess Gwendolyn. Opal was deeply hurt by Lenk's choice and it took time for her to forgive him even after he came back to her and sincerely apologized for what he had done. She finally accepted his apology and they began their relationship again, leading to their eventual engagement and marriage.

The Zorra revere her for her kindness and generosity. Although a formidable warrior, she is incredibly shy and quiet. She often views her shyness as an impairment since it makes it difficult for her to voice her feelings to Lenk. Under her shy and timid outer appearance she has a rebellious and adventurous spirit. Her wisdom and intellect are usually enough to keep her out of trouble, but there are occasions where she will make a rash or reckless decision and her adolescence is made apparent.

She is very humble and loves to offer encouragement. Despite viewing Gwen as a threat to her relationship with Lenk at first, she decided to set their differences aside and they become close friends.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Unknown to Opal, she is half Zorra and half human. This unique trait makes her more resistant to electricity, temperature, and dehydration while maintaining her Zorra features. She is also physically stronger than other Zorra which allows her to train with the Whirlpool Trident. However, her human side also makes her significantly shorter than all her peers, standing barely 5’ 5” compared to the average 7’ 1” for female Zorra.

Body Features

Due to her human mother, Opal has a navel. She is slightly insecure and embarrassed by it and insists on wearing a sash over her stomach to hide it.

Special abilities

Opal has the unique ability to heal wounds. No injury is beyond the power of her healing touch. Even wounds that would be considered fatal can be reversed by her power. In order for her healing abilities to work she must make contact with the person. She then draws on the power held within her soul and sends her healing energy into the injured person, restoring them to their healthy state in a matter of minutes. The power is directly influenced by Opal's emotions, being enhanced by positive emotions and weakened by negative ones, as well as reflecting the intensity of the emotion. The effort is physically exhausting for Opal and she must rest between sessions whenever possible.

Apparel & Accessories

Opal often wears a simple silver headdress and other jewelery to signify her royalty. She is one of the few Zorra to consistantly wear clothing in the form of a skyblue sash wrapped around her torso to cover her stomach.

Personality Characteristics

Virtues & Personality perks

The Zorra revere Opal for her kindness and generosity. She is incredibly gentle and loving to anyone she meets, and is very humble and loves to offer encouragement. Despite viewing Gwen as a threat to her relationship with Lenk at first, once Lenk confirms his love for Opal she decides to set their differences aside and the two princesses eventually become close friends.

Vices & Personality flaws

Under her shy and timid outer appearance, Opal has a rebellious and adventurous spirit. Her wisdom and intellect are usually enough to keep her out of trouble, but there are occasions where she will make a rash or reckless decision and her adolescence is made apparent. She is also incredibly shy and quiet on the outside. She often views her shyness as an impairment since it makes it difficult for her to voice her feelings to Lenk. Opal is extremely jealous, especially concerning Lenk's close relationship with Gwen, and she pesters him about his feelings regularly to ensure his devotion has not wavered.

Personality Quirks

Opal does not like to be reminded of her high social status. She insists on dispensing with titles being addressed by her first name when she is not in a diplomatic or political environment.

History

Triton and Opal were born only a few years apart, which for Zorra is not that laarge of an age gap. They played together while they were young, attended the same classes growing up, and were best friends since either of them could remember. As Opal matured and began to focus her studies on ruling and politics, Triton followed a similar path as an ambassador to stay close to her. They had many special moments together and many believed they would eventually be married.   However, after Lenk and Princess Gwen made a diplomatic visit to ask for the Zorra's allegiance, Opal's romantic feelings turned toward Lenk. This made Triton incredibly jealous and hurt and he became verbally aggresive toward Opal which hurt her deeply.   When Triton reveals that he had conspired with Sadusa to take over Zorra's Domain in the name of love, Opal begs him to stop and gives him a sincere, heartfelt apology. She tells him he can do better and pleads for him to change. Opal's words soften Triton's heart and he turns against Sadusa and defeats her. Sadly, Sadusa fatally wounds Triton and Opal is unable to save him. With his dying breaths, he confesses his pure love for Opal and begs Lenk to take care of her. After his death, Opal continued to pay her respects to his grave in honor of their friendship and her love for him.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Both princesses have feelings for the Hilian Champion Lenk.

Fears and Insecurities

Opal struggles with fear of losing those she loves. She feels her power to heal obligates her to protect everyone she meets which has helped her develop her selflessness and charity, but it also makes her worry constantly and is very mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Opal also struggles with negative self image. She thinks her navel and stunted height make her undesirable and unattractive. She does not seem to appreciate her natural beauty and works hard to ornament herself with beautiful clothes and jewelry to make herself feel pretty and cover up her navel. She graciously accepts the compliments about her beauty but thinks to herself that they would not say such things if they saw her navel.
