TAME #20

Ophelia is a cross between an Orc and an Elf. (we know, we know, we keep mentioning the elf hybrids, but it's not our fault that they've been getting around more.) her mother is an orc, and her father is an Elf. she has the strength and power of her mother and the timidness of her father. Ophelia never wanted to come to Tame, but Her parents insisted. "it's the best academy for our kind" "you'll love it there, just give it time" "you don't want to be the only one with green skin at the Aldersgate Elf Academy, do you?" no. she didn't. she didn't want to stand out, didn't want to be called names, didn't want them to avoid her. but she didn't want to be in the middle of a school that had the kinds of things that made even monsters shudder, either. what did she want? to stay at home with he cat, read books, and knit. but what? was she going to tell her eight foot mother no? what? you think she's crazy? now, all she can do is go, play the soccer that got her the scholarship, and pray she survives the semester.
