Ophelia

**THE GOLDEN GLIDERS! Check my profile for the other 9 dancers!** Ophelia was one of the Golden Gliders—ten bodies, one breath, the living embodiment of Illuminia’s deepest desire: beauty incarnate. But within the shimmering perfection of the troupe, Ophelia stood out not just for her beauty, but for the fire that burned in her chest, always ready to defend, always ready to fight for what she believed in. She was the mother of the group, the one who kept the others grounded, who wiped away tears when the pressure became too much, who cheered the loudest during every rehearsal. But beneath that nurturing spirit was a competitive streak as sharp as a blade, honed by years of striving for perfection. No one worked harder, no one pushed further—Ophelia was constantly testing her own limits, always determined to be better, faster, stronger. Her fierceness often drew comparisons to Scarlet—though where Scarlet’s energy was outward and daring, Ophelia’s was quiet but no less powerful. She was a force, protective of her fellow Gliders, especially the more vulnerable ones. When anyone threatened the group—whether through criticism or challenge—Ophelia’s eyes would narrow, and her resolve would harden. She wouldn’t let anyone, or anything, hurt them. In the studio, Ophelia was relentless. Her gaze never wavered from the goal, and her drive pushed the entire group to strive for their best. But it wasn’t just about winning; it was about protecting the unity of the Gliders, ensuring that no one was ever left behind or overlooked.
