Adonis - I always knew the stars held a destiny for me; but little did I realize it was not about me. After a life time of not chasing and instead being the chased, I was charmed and captivated; I had to know more. There is a complex duality about her, that I find intriguing, certainly the very nature of our shared path, existing between worlds; both the Primal and the Shadow. But every Thyrsus threads that needle, even the ones who primarily exist in one or the other. From a supernal point of view, there is a third line, a bit more morbid than I am willing to explore but the significance of which I cannot deny.   That is not where the duality ends. She is delightful and sociable, and yet there is this reserved sadness, this loneness that is palpable in quiet moments. I believe this is merely a byproduct of a difficult life on the Ark, but a stubborn and ingrained behavior. She is my family and my life; it is my place and duty to protect her, even from herself. I will banish those darker thoughts and feelings if it is the last breathing thing I do; I will show her that life is far from perfect, but you can make it what you need it to be.

Kit: Isn't it weird that we're basically the same age, the same classes, from a closed off vessel where there isn't much in the way of socializing outside our shared social strata, and yet I feel like I only really met her recently? Until I Awakened and got to know who Fi really is, we were never terribly close but now I feel like I can count her as a good friend and mentor and I wouldn't change a thing. No one should have had to survive what she's been through, but the strength she shows by not just surviving, but thriving, impresses me every day. Also she created Flitter Tag and that's my new favorite game.

Rhonin: She survived floating beyond the abyss as a Thyrsus. If that doesn't speak to her strength I don't know what would. A skilled spirit master I cant wait to see where she goes from here. I think she will make a good match for my brother so long as they both dont isolate themselves too much from what makes us Thyrsus. But the cabal can definitely help the balance

What can I say? A quiet smile and a shy persona - there in lies a heart of gold and one of the strongest people I've ever had the privilege of knowing. I don't know much about Mages. But I do know... her and Lex were the only ones of their kind on the Ark. When I asked years ago, I was told that it's because the rest went insane... like I said... strength that most overlook because she's quiet and pretty.

"She gave me something I never thought would be possible to see again: the sun. You have no idea what seeing that after almost 1000 years does to a man like me. Should anyone hurt her, Adonis won't be fast enough to still my blade. I will return to the monster I have run from.. to bring those down who hurt this one."

Ophelia is someone I hope one day to call a friend. She is one of the strongest people I know; she has endured what few could and come out still beautiful, still kind. I hope here on Terra she is finding the peace she deserves.

I think that Ophelia is as much an enigma to herself at times as she is to others. You can see when she's unsure or hurt, if you know how to look, but that portcullis keeps her at arms length from others when it slams down. I was grateful and hopeful when she offered to help lead during our escape from the Ark. She was right that it brought a certain balance that Izzy and I alone did not, and left me free to other duties but... then we landed and she... left. I only saw her once while we were incarcerated and she left with Adonis immediaetly thereafter. I am still unsure of where we stand since then and the opportunity to really talk has not arisen yet. After so long, I sometimes wonder if it will or if she has moved on from us. She seems happiest with the other Awakened though and I do truly wish her joy.

i liked working with her in the shop and am proud to work with her in the sworn and will always be grateful to her and adonis for the life i have now convincing me that dreams can still come true, i wish i could get to know her better though she just seems always to keep me at arms length i hope i can get through that cause we seem to have a lot in common
