Ophelia Malory's Links
Ophelia comes into Eliot's life after he has lost Zariah (though he doesn't remember her.) He's lonely at the time and doesn't understand where this mysterious loneliness is coming from, so latches onto Ophelia quite tightly. Eliot at first sees Ophelia as a "pet project" and minor interest, just there to soothe his boredom and the ache of missing someone he doesn't remember. But over time, Eliot's feelings shift to being romantic. When he remembers losing Zariah, he becomes determined not to slip up again and to keep Ophelia around... Even though, in this case, that might not be the heroic thing to do.
Ophelia would honestly have never caught Euraile's attention, if not for the fact that they made eye contact one day. Euraile was stunned by what Ophelia thought was just a casual encounter: She had looked right into Ophelia's eyes and Ophelia had not turned to stone!
Euraile thinks this is a sign of true love, and has since then obsessed over Ophelia. She has a strange love for the other where she will make excuses for anything rude Ophelia does to her. After all... They're soulmates!!?? And for a Gorgon like Euraile, this sort of rare connection is very special.
