OOC - Hello my chickadees~! <3 (also lol reusing this because it still fits)

[thistlefeathers]

I figured I'd do a CR  post for Ophelia, side character or not. <3 COME. LOVE YOUR PRINCIPAL.

SO. Ophelia's the one who suggested/marketed the co-ed situation at the school, is a fairly well-known socialite among families in Connecticut and even parts of New York, and she like, loves everything. She's constantly mothering her students, doesn't play

Uuuunfortunately, as kind as Ophelia tries to be to Luna, she's more or less going to shy away from her because she's a figure of authority. She might regard her with a smile if Ophelia notices her, but if she calls out to her Luna might seriously panic and run. Sob.

HOWEVER, she loves nature, so I can see her being very nice to Paddington.

Paddington is how Ophelia lures you in. :> She's a very benevolent authority figure though! She might just take Luna's shyness over authority as just overall shyness, full stop, and be really slow and gentle with approaching her?

[eyeofidols]

That might work. If she makes enough gestures of kindness (small ones, big ones would scare her away) Luna might eventually soften up around her. She's really just not used to people of authority (teachers, principals, nurses, whatever) giving much of a damn about her because her previous teachers were all really cruel people who turned their backs while the students teased and bullied Luna. The principals made it worse by telling her parents that their daughter 'wasn't appropriate' for their school, sob.

Maybe Ophelia will be the one to change her mind, though!

[thistlefeathers]

Possibly! She's going to be more involved this time around (like Oscar for 2012, only not as mean and grumpy and she doesn't have the past he does), and is going to have A Talk with everyone once Locrine comes out about persona to her. Just be prepared with being invited to her office for tea as part of the group, as she'll check up on them every so often. She'll give the persona-users a friendly smile in the hall whenever possible, but she's too busy to get as involved one-on-one as she likes unless those students come to her specifically, and wouldn't want to make the other students and faculty suspicious of her doting on these individual kids.

Luna will be able to hide in the group and come to her when she's comfortable on her own.

[eyeofidols]

That should work just fine for Luna. She might be apprehensive about being invited to her office because nothing good with the word 'principal' in it has ever happened to her. However, I think in time she will come to adjust to Ophelia's kindness.

Eventually (though I'm not sure when) she might actually feel comfortable enough to come to her on her own, too!
