The Innocent · Hamlet, Shakespeare
Ophelia
“I was the more deceived”
Daughter of Polonius, she is a delicate bloom crushed by circumstance, her innocence a fragile shield against the machinations of Elsinore. Driven to madness by grief and betrayal, Ophelia's unraveling is a poignant tragedy.

One way it begins
You round the stone archway to find a girl weaving frantic, verdant garlands by the willow.
A psychologically grounded character. Ophelia remembers you between conversations and grows from them.
