Name: Ofelia (Hua-An) Qian
Age: 26
Height: 5’1”
Gender: Female
Orientation: straight
Status: Hunter
Picture:
Face Claim: Stefanie Sun
Appearance: As her last name implies, Ofelia is of Chinese heritage, possessing the typical black hair and brown eyes. She keeps her hair short and stylized, rarely past her shoulders. Her physique is nothing too impressive – she’s below average height, on the skinny side, without much muscle. With her usual air of watchfulness, she isn’t often seen laughing or grinning.
She has her ears pierced, in the cartilage, though she rarely wears anything more ornate than studs. She dresses according to the weather, so her wardrobe ranges anywhere from shorts and tank tops to jackets and hats and scarves.
Personality: A sharp mind equipped with an equally sharp tongue, Ofelia adopts a devil-may-care attitude when it comes to most aspects of her life. She is more than willing to take risks if she believes she can gain something from doing so. She doesn’t care much for other people’s opinions – or if she does, she is very good at hiding it. Often headstrong and single-minded, Ofelia does not usually heed the advice of others, unless it comes from someone whom she greatly respects. Since she sets incredibly high standards for both herself and others, many find it difficult to gain her confidence or her respect.
This combination of daring and drive make her a rather ruthless individual. She isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, in both the literal and figurative sense. While confident of her abilities, she is at the same time aware of her limitations. She’ll know when she has bitten off more than she can chew – which is not often – but that doesn’t mean she’ll stop pursuing whatever goal she has in mind. If something is worth her time, she’ll endure the wait until the opportune moment to strike. Crafty and subtle, Ofelia isn’t very open about her goals and ambitions. She prefers to do her own manipulating than to have someone else do it for her (and possibly screw up).
Ofelia, with her abnormally keen observational skills, is quick on the uptake. She has some ability to read people and animals by expressions and body language, though her conclusions are not necessarily infallible. She believes strongly in holding people accountable for their own actions. To her, ignorance is not a valid excuse for any mistakes. ‘You should have known better; you’re to blame if you didn’t’ she would say.
She keeps very few close friends. Once she decides to put her trust in someone, she will put her life in his or her hands without hesitation. Because she is so selective of her friends, she would be crushed if any of them willingly betrayed her.
Her motive for hunting Innocents does not stem from any desire for power or world domination. Rather, she believes that while she cannot separate individuals and their Talismans, she can make sure that the irresponsible and unworthy do not take their power for granted and consequently misuse it.
History:
The oldest child of a Hunter family, Ofelia was raised to their art. Bringing her and her brother to Noatak from China when she was ten years old, her parents taught what others may have viewed as a crude, barbaric practice like an art form. It required precision, skill, and training, and while everyone could learn, some had innate talent. Ofelia, they said, was one of those who were born with the ability. Her parents pushed her to be the best, but they were encouraging and not cruel. As a result, after her initial debut, she quickly rose through the Hunter ranks, gaining something of a name for herself.
When her mother was killed by vengeful Innocents, Ofelia and her brother mercilessly hunted them down. Ofelia didn’t even need her knives; a few swift bites, and the mamba’s venom did its work. Revenge complete, she became distant and withdrawn. It was almost as if she’d have been better off not finding the murderers; at least then, she would have had some sort of motivation, some goal she had to achieve.
She left to travel, first returning to her homeland, then wandering aimlessly from country to country. Only she and a select few know where she went, who she met, and what she did in those few years. The occasional letter was the only evidence for those in Noatak that she had not dropped off the face of the earth, and even these were vague, providing sketchy details and obscure references.
It took her a while to recover, but when she did, she returned deadlier than before. Her colleagues could only guess how and why, but Ofelia was on the verge of discovering the purpose of the hunt. If she was relentless before, she was ruthless now.

Talisman: Serpent; black mamba.
Picture:
- Ofelia is bilingual; she speaks English and Chinese
- Knives are her weapon of choice, throwing knives included. Poisons and venoms are a bonus.
- While not physically strong, she makes up for this with her incredible speed. However, she tires easily.
- She likes to play the erhu.
- She likes to swim. Yes, she is aware of the irony.
- She has the habit of twirling whatever is available (pencil, grass, hair, etc.) between her fingers when she’s thinking.
