The Ophelia	comment	In Real Life mental illness is rarely pretty, but in fiction, there's just something about a lovely young woman, often with long, disheveled hair and bare feet, running around babbling lyrically about the strange visions flashing through her deranged mind, singing creepy little rhymes, scattering flowers and occasionally bashing people's heads in. Maybe this particular cutie was just broken particularly hard, maybe it was an illness or maybe she was born that way, but the result is the same, a tragically beautiful, ethereal waif who's mad as a box of frogs. Her beauty is an important point here, underlining her fragility and the sadness of her fate. She usually talks in riddles and rhymes, can be sad or joyfully happy (or switch between these states). Her mind may be so far gone that she's likely to murder people, but she'll always have clear skin while doing it; at other times, though, her madness may allow her to retain childlike innocence, resulting in her being more kindhearted and compassionate than the "normals". Sometimes, too, she has important knowledge the sane may lack, in which case she'll often have terrible trouble getting anyone to listen (a classical example of Mad Oracle). The original Cassandra from The Iliad was often depicted as a bit of an Ophelia. It's difficult to pin down the appeal of this trope. Perhaps a strange young maiden communing with nature harkens back to earlier figures like nymphs or pagan witches. Perhaps there is an underlying fetish at the thought that a crazy girl might be awesome in the sack. Or perhaps there's something endearing to men about cradling a girl in your arms and protecting her from the demons in her own head. There's often a surprisingly artistic bent to The Ophelia's madness; she may sing, dance wildly, or try to paint her delusions. She may wear white and look extra ghostly and wraithlike. She would often be an Unkempt Beauty because crazy people usually don't care about trendy clothes and make-up. The Ophelia is often tied to nature (including walking around barefoot, wearing flowers, etc.), particularly water, probably as a nod to the original Ophelia (in William Shakespeare's Hamlet) who winds flowers in her hair before drowning herself. That last bit can overlap with Instant Oracle: Just Add Water! if she's also a Waif Prophet and/or a Mad Oracle. The Victorians fell crazy (so to speak) in love with this trope and Ophelias in the form of wronged maidens and deranged brides go pirouetting and flower-strewing through art, poetry and literature of the period while the "mad scene" for the Innocent Soprano heroine became a staple of opera. Insanity was linked to female sexuality and desire for independence. In fact, psychiatrists at that time used to encourage female patients in madhouses — especially if they were youthful and pretty — to dress the part and carry sheaves of flowers. If a male character is shown the same way, odds are good he's very feminine and delicate-looking anyway. Compare/contrast with Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, Cloudcuckoolander, Fainting Seer, Axe-Crazy, Mysterious Waif, Waif Prophet, Hysterical Woman, Unstable Powered Woman. For the (usually) "harmlessly kooky" variant see Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Perky Goth. See Cute But Psycho when mental issues are not part of the appeal. A reason for the appeal of the Yandere.

She is often seen having very public breakdowns and being dissociated from reality, but is portrayed as a sympathetic, tragic character. She even has a painting of herself as Ophelia hanging over her bed in a cartoon parody of Millais's famous painting on the same subject so the creators make it pretty clear that we're meant to see her that way.

The Ophelia / int_1b021fcb	comment	Tokyo Ghoul Re: Shuu Tsukiyama becomes a Rare Male Example in. At the start of the series his health and mental state degrade seriously and he looks beautiful and frail when he isn't having episodes of violence. This comes after Kaneki's two years-long disappearance has left him very distressed, and it takes him a lot of effort to recover and begin making up to his family for the grief that came with his madness. Eto Yoshimura/Sen Takatsuki in the sequel chapter 56. Remember Kankeki's kakuja-induced madness in Kanou's laboratory, complete with the nonsensical ramblings and erratic behavior? Kaneki's attack on Eto drives her into a similar state, and her kakuja body begins undergoing a series of lovely mutations such as extra eyes and mouths on top of mouths. All while she pursues him across the surface of a building, spouting random and confused sentences. It turns a scene that should have been Badass into pure horror. She also varies between trying to kill Kaneki and declaring her love for him while licking his eye. It doesn't help that she's naked and missing her legs. While she keeps appearing with very little left to the imagination, it's during the process of committing utterly horrifying acts of violence. In general, her nudity is secondary to the torture, mind rape, and general mayhem being committed on-screen by her. Rize Kamishiro initially looks like a Proper Lady, but is actually a Femme Fatale ghoul who lures men she finds attractive in with her beauty before satisfying her gluttonous nature by eating them or "scrambling their insides" with her kagune. Tooru Mutsuki was born as a girl but insists on living as a man. When he's captured by Saeki aka Torso, he puts him into a white dress while declaring they are going to get married. Mutsuki's good looks are accentuated by the dress and flowers Torso puts him in and then true horror starts when his past is revealed of him having murdered his abusive father and family, mutilated animals, and cannibalized corpses before he's seen in the present with his dress covered in blood from him having mutilated and dismembered his stalker Torso to death.

I'm Being Reincarnated!, because of the way Standard Japanese Fantasy Settings work, Angelia is both a Princess Classic and a Shell-Shocked Veteran who's fought on the front lines of a war. The result was a perfectly decent, even naive young woman who commits full-tilt murder enthusiastically and has few sexual scruples. To be fair, her plan is logical and will save a lot of people...she's just wilfully oblivious to the suffering that's necessary to make it happen. And she's unlucky enough to live in a setting where people can only travel interdimensionally by dying first.

The Ophelia / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Sara from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is regarded as such by her grandfather Manfroy and the Loptyr cult. She's more of a slightly-off but otherwise functional Oracular Urchin, however, and she eagerly joins Leif's group as soon as she has the chance so she can strike out against her much hated grandpa. Ninian from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade spends a brief time like this. When she's found in either Eliwood's or Hector's path, she's adrift in a small rowboat and totally amnesiac, so the cast takes her in since she can't be left alone. Soon it's shown why she's like that: she and Nils tried to escape from the Dread Isle to not be forced to open the Dragon Gate and call other dragons through it, with the help of Eliwood's captured father Elbert; however, Nils fell into the sea and the already unstable Ninian snapped, blocking everything from her mind. She doesn't recover until Nils reappears and snaps her out — and just in time, as she's Brainwashed and Crazy and just about to open the Dragon Gate under Nergal's orders. From then on she's mostly sane, if extremely shy and reserved. Fire Emblem Fates: Despite having an actual character named Ophelia, she isn't really this trope and is more of a mix between Genki Girl and Cloudcuckoolander, plus some Shared Family Quirks. The real Ophelia-type character is Takumi in the Conquest path. He is a Long-Haired Pretty Boy who, in this particular path, falls into madness for several reasons: his hate and jealousy of the Avatar, his sorrow from losing his mother (actually, his Parental Substitute), his Inferiority Superiority Complex, and the depression he got from all of that. Following the water theme of Ophelia, his clothes are mostly blue and white, unlike his siblings who wear red and white - blue and white are both common color themes for water. Not to mention, the kanji for his name can be read as "ocean". Granted, he is actually under a huge More than Mind Control state caused by a water dragon god, but it doesn't change the fact he exhibits several archetypical traits of this trope. While both hate and sorrow are the reasons for his madness, the game emphasizes more on his hatred while fanworks emphasize more on his sorrow, perfectly depicting the "beautifully broken" trait of this trope (and sometimes reducing him solely to that). He also often babbles to himself in that path.

She always spoke in confusing non-sequiturs, referred to the perps as various members of the infamous Chicago Black Sox scandal, and would abruptly leave without ever giving Mac all the details.

The Ophelia / int_2675c915	comment	Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gives us Aida, the Life Model Decoy, who descends slowly into this the more sentient she becomes. Culminates near the end of the Framework arc, after creating a virtual world that she traps the agents in, where she rules a dictatorship as Madame Hydra, she manages to finally create a human (or rather, Inhuman) body for herself, with actual emotions instead of simulations of such. She becomes increasingly erratic thanks to experiencing true emotions for the first time, eventually exploding into a violent, murderous temper. By this point, she actually adopted the human name 'Ophelia' (though this was from the comics rather than referencing this trope). A season earlier, Daisy herself was briefly this, as she recovered from Hive's brainwashing. She had delusions about being trapped on Maveth, wore dishevelled clothing, and broke down multiple times. Coulson also provided a middle aged male example before this, thanks to the effects of the T.A.H.I.T.I. process used to resurrect him. The process left multiple people in this state, and the solution to it didn't fix matters; after it began to happen to him, Coulson became concerned about it happening to Daisy (who was saved from certain death using the same chemical), and the fact it didn't do this to her became a sign that she's not completely human.

Water shows up often in her hallucinations, which makes sense, as, like Ophelia, she drowned to death (in her case, in amniotic fluid). And her hair in her "child" form tends to be wild and frazzled.

He follows the tradition of male Ophelias, in that he is feminine, pretty, and gentle.

The Ophelia / int_347facfb	comment	Gina, Tony Montana's sister, in her last scene in Scarface (1983). Tony has been playing Knight Templar Big Brother to her throughout the movie, having a violently territorial reaction every time her virginity is the least bit endangered, to the point of being a Yandere. This culminates with him discovering her post-sex with Manny Ribera (his best friend) and shooting him dead right in front of her, only for her to tearfully reveal that they'd gotten married the previous day. At his mansion that night, amidst the attack by Alejandro Sosa's men, she appears semi-nude and drugged out, telling him he can have her now since he clearly wants her for himself, all the while shooting at him with a revolver. One of the attackers kills her; Tony kills him in turn and then basically loses his mind over her body. Of course, he's the one who has the swimming pool death. (Incidentally, Incest Subtext is a somewhat popular reading of Laertes's overprotective attitude toward the original Ophelia.)

The Ophelia / int_35bceb50	comment	Hamlet: Ophelia is the Trope Namer. She starts out the play as a proper young lady, obedient to her father, even when he tells her she must end her relationship with Prince Hamlet, which means a lot to her. When Hamlet begins to fake his antic disposition (or actually go nuts, depending on your reading), Ophelia bears the brunt of his crazy behavior, which includes verbal abuse both public and private. Hamlet then kills Ophelia's father, and her sanity decays quickly. In a chilling scene, she walks around the King, Queen, and her own brother, without recognizing any of them, but strewing flowers (in performance the flowers are sometimes depicted as weeds, or as figments of her imagination), singing, and sobbing. A little later, the Queen enters with a report of Ophelia's death by drowning, saying she was so distracted that she didn't even realize the danger when she fell into a river and sank. But the men who dig her grave darkly assert she was Driven to Suicide. Ophelia remains a popular figure for art, poetry, and reinterpretation.

The Ophelia / int_3c6e7f9f	comment	Sylvia of Cross Ange becomes one of these after her sister Angelise is revealed to be a Norma (the one thing shunned by society), her parents are both killed in their attempt to hide the secret, and while her sister is in exile, elder brother Julio, the one responsible, turns Sylvia against her and lures her out of exile by having his sister pull a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. After capturing their disinherited sister, Sylvia laughs hysterically, blames Ange for the death of her parents and demands she apologize for being a Norma as she whips for before an execution. After Ange escapes, things only get worse. After having a nightmare over what just happened, an attempt to seek comfort from Julio goes south when she spots his secretary (and mole from a dimension of dragonic humanoids) Riza, who promptly captures her and puts her under her thrall, which causes her to scream the name of her once beloved sister. Episodes later, with Julio dead and Embryo freeing her from Riza's control, she's even worse, whipping Riza in retaliation and for failing to bring her what she wanted to read, and buckles under terror when Ange shows up, asking if she plans to kill her like she the rest of her family as she still blames her for. From then on, with nobody else in the Imperial Palace, she looks increasingly unkempt scared for her life as the palace is under siege, and later, the Mana is cut off with her left out of the loop. She is presented in an unsympathetic and cowardly light, as it turns out she was healed from her crippling long ago, but she also undergoes a Trauma Conga Line in a station she is in no way fit for.

The reader meets the girl shortly after Souma attempts to kill himself; she looks pretty but frail and pale in her dark kimono, attempts to speak to the Saikis and then to Masataka to learn what's going on — but then she catches a glimpse of Sakurako herself and has a massive meltdown, screaming for a "white-haired demon" that is around the gardens, so the policemen have to calm her down. Considering that she was tied up in Unwilling Suspension manner, gagged, savagely beaten and then photographed while half-naked and still Bound and Gagged, she can't be blamed.

She makes grave but seemingly nonsensical statements and presumably was driven mad by the University's demand on her mental faculties. The companion novella based on her, The Slow Regard of Silent Things, provides more insight into her mind, showing that she believes that all inanimate objects are sapient and is consumed by an OCD-like obsession with rearranging things to make them "right." There are also hints at a Dark and Troubled Past.

Once the greatest sorceress in the Lands Between, a massive Trauma Conga Line involving her husband leaving her for Marika (and turning his wedding gift from her into a symbol of loyalty to his new wife, for shame), her daughter Ranni committing suicide (sort of), and her sons fighting each other in a ruinous civil war has completely broken her. The first phase of her boss fight consists of you beating up her students (a horde of childlike failed clones she's been creating as surrogates for her own lost children) that are casting a shield around her, then beating her up when it breaks, while she barely seems to be aware of your presence. The second phase has you deal with an illusion of her in her prime conjured by Ranni as a sort of automated defense system. Once you're done with that, the real one still doesn't seem aware you ever attacked her and will happily offer to respec your stats or change your appearance.

Agnes is rather childlike and naïve, and she also constantly speaks of random things that make sense only after being pieced together. It is unclear whether she was born mentally challenged; she says she was "dropped on her head" as a baby. The local doctor, Martha, is never sure whether Agnes is really mentally challenged or it's a result of her mother's virtually imprisoning her for years.

After failed attempts at living with relatives, later living with Akira Toudou, who married her so she would be able to drop her maiden name and move past her murdering her grandmother and parents, she's consigned to a psychiatric hospital. Though she seems to be doing better, she's actually aware of her crimes, even though Akira is shouldering her guilt for her. By contrast, she was more of a tragic Ophelia with her relatives than after she was moved to the hospital, where she was more of a Madwoman in the Attic.

The Ophelia / int_67ce5a04	comment	Fire Emblem Fates: Despite having an actual character named Ophelia, she isn't really this trope and is more of a mix between Genki Girl and Cloudcuckoolander, plus some Shared Family Quirks. The real Ophelia-type character is Takumi in the Conquest path. He is a Long-Haired Pretty Boy who, in this particular path, falls into madness for several reasons: his hate and jealousy of the Avatar, his sorrow from losing his mother (actually, his Parental Substitute), his Inferiority Superiority Complex, and the depression he got from all of that. Following the water theme of Ophelia, his clothes are mostly blue and white, unlike his siblings who wear red and white - blue and white are both common color themes for water. Not to mention, the kanji for his name can be read as "ocean". Granted, he is actually under a huge More than Mind Control state caused by a water dragon god, but it doesn't change the fact he exhibits several archetypical traits of this trope. While both hate and sorrow are the reasons for his madness, the game emphasizes more on his hatred while fanworks emphasize more on his sorrow, perfectly depicting the "beautifully broken" trait of this trope (and sometimes reducing him solely to that). He also often babbles to himself in that path.

Munching on stimulants like candy? Double-check. Hallucinating? Oh yes. Delusions of still serving Garcia in the middle of a gunfight? That too. And that's not even factoring in the gratuitous amounts of evil laughs and slasher smiles. She also goes around toting her weaponry and killing massive amounts of people off while looking pretty in her maid's dress. Subverted in the anime, with her state at the end of the arc. Hansel and Gretel are the Creepy Child version of this. They're white-haired, purple-eyed orphans, who were bought by the mafia to star in snuff child porn. "Hansel and Gretel" are their stage identities, while their original selves are long gone. And it's not just psychological, because something has been done to their genitals as well. Indeed, they periodically switch between who plays Hansel and who plays Gretel by exchanging clothes and weapons, and the one who plays Gretel wears a long-haired wig. Their voices change between identities flawlessly, with Hansel only being unable to hold onto one in his dying moments. He died bleeding to death near a fountain, while Gretel expressed a wish to visit the sea, which she got to do and then she received a bullet to the brain. Before arriving, Gretel sang for Rock with a voice the Lagoon Company defined as angelic. Said song, "The World of Midnight", was used as the closing theme for the episode.

Soon it's shown why she's like that: she and Nils tried to escape from the Dread Isle to not be forced to open the Dragon Gate and call other dragons through it, with the help of Eliwood's captured father Elbert; however, Nils fell into the sea and the already unstable Ninian snapped, blocking everything from her mind. She doesn't recover until Nils reappears and snaps her out — and just in time, as she's Brainwashed and Crazy and just about to open the Dragon Gate under Nergal's orders.

At one of them, a patient named Windisch proceeds to loudly claim that she is the true Empress Elisabeth and Sisi is an impostor who should be locked up. Productions often have Windisch's long hair braided like the empress' famous long hair, with flowers to imitate the star-shaped hair decorations in the famous Winterhalter portrait, if not recreating a mad version of said portrait altogether. In the 2018 Takarazuka Revue production, Windisch carries a tattered white fan that the black-clad Empress exchanges for her black one. Elisabeth envies Windisch and wishes she could openly be The Ophelia.

The Ophelia / int_91bfaf94	comment	The original The Ring and its Japanese film adaptation actually subverts this in the case of its main villain, Sadako Yamamura. While she is the source of the cursed video tape and died by being trapped in a well, she wasn't insane in the usual definition of the word (though she did have the tendency to make other people insane); the one that fits as Ophelia better is actually Sadako's mother, Shizuko, who was described as weird and liked to babble unintelligible sentences near the sea (the film heavily implies that she conceived Sadako by having an affair with an oceanic deity). However, the trope is played straight in the US remake with Sadako's counterpart, Samara. She was an outright Creepy Child who drove horses to commit suicide and her adoptive mother to be confined in a mental facility. Her adoptive and biological mothers (Anna and Evelyn, respectively) are also examples of this: Anna felt remorse for killing Samara and eventually committed suicide by jumping into the sea, while Evelyn tried to drown Samara and as a result is confined to a sanitarium.

The Ophelia / int_9a67b688	comment	Several of these appear in Case Closed: Ran Mouri spends a good part of the fourth movie, Captured in Her Eyes, as one due to a bad case of Trauma-Induced Amnesia. She recovers towards the end, however. Also, a young woman mentioned in the backstory of the Detectives Koshien arc. More exactly: a mentally and emotionally unstable socialite who committed suicide via hanging herself in a room of her Big Fancy House (nicknamed "the Lavender mansion") in an island near Fukuoka. The "young mistress"'s death was wrongfully catalogued as a murder, however, and the main suspect was her maid Kana Mizoguchi. Poor Kana was the one who fulfilled Ophelia's association with water, however, having thrown herself into the sea after she couldn't prove her innocence. In the Kimono Goddess case, the audience actually gets introduced to the episode via a scene in which a beautiful, sad-looking Ophelia throws herself off a building in front of everyone in her women's college. Her name was Sakurako Suzuka, and she ended up that way after being framed for drug trade by two cruel Alpha Bitches, Ema Anzai and Asuka Shibazaki, who already hated her for being a Wide-Eyed Idealist. Five years later, Ema and Asuka would become the case's Asshole Victims at the hands of Eri, Sakurako's estranged older sister. Maya Tachibana from the Beautiful Amnesiac Woman filler case, who has lost her memories due to injuries and acts like a textbook case. Then it's subverted: she's a Dark Action Girl who has been hired to kill Kogoro by a dude that got tossed into jail and then escaped, and while her memory loss is genuine at first, she recovers her memories around halfway the episode and then pretends to still be amnesiac so she can corner Kogoro and murder him. Conan barely manages to save Kogoro and then capture her.

The only remnant of her former beauty is her long red hair. As Lady of the Eyrie, she has become paranoid and delusional, clinging to her only surviving child and hopelessly pining for a man who's only using her for his own schemes.

Their precognition is very real, but it means they're often distracted by events in the spirit world, develop strange habits, and have their personalities warped. (Nina Used to Be a Sweet Kid before her powers as a Mistress bloomed.) There have been no male Mistresses. In one case, the Ophelia is a daughter-figure to the protagonist. Little Murky lives out on the steppe, painting and talking to flowers (she believes dead people, like her parents, speak through them), showing hardly any interest in society. She somehow met the [Plague itself, which is weird even by the standards of the game, and adopting her requires that Artemy prevent the Plague-spirit from possessing her body. Food also helps, because it turns out that being aesthetically eerie full-time does not pay the bills.

The Ophelia / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "The Doctor's Wife", Idris/the TARDIS is this when she's put into human form. Of course, experiencing your own past, present, and future at the same time would make anyone a bit mad. When Susan Foreman is in her more alien moods, she becomes like this, particularly in "The Edge of Destruction", which she spends drifting around waifishly in a long kimono-like dress babbling about visions in her mind, staring blankly into space with her big sad eyes, and shredding furniture with scissors while screaming and crying hysterically. (When she's in a more human mood, she's The Ingenue.) There's also the Big Bad's daughter in "The Crimson Horror", although she is not so much mad as desperately craving for affection. And blind.

The Ophelia / int_d8bda674	comment	X/1999: Kotori Monou became one after seeing her mother Saya die as a little girl. She apparently recovered her mind, but some years later she turned into one full-time when seeing Kamui's aunt Tokiko die in the same way, and spends some time carting around the poor woman's severed head. And then soon after, she dies! And at the hands of her Face Heel Turned older brother! The poor girl can't catch a break... Subverted in the TV series: Kotori does shows some signs of this trope when Tokiko dies, but unlike in the manga she falls in a coma. Her subconscious is still active and more or less sane, however, so she begins to use her Dream Weaver powers instead of going crazy; she's still comatose when Fuuma kills her, so she never gets the chance to enact the trope. A darker version is Seishirou's mother Setsuka, the previous Sakurazukamori. In the CD dramas she often spoke about things that looked like nonsense, then counteracted with something quite unsettling and did so with a smile.

The Ophelia / int_dcf7d02e	comment	Private Actress by Michiyo Akaishi has two: One of these is the legal wife of Shiho's Disappeared Dad, Masakazu Ogata, a sickly and sad lady who is often alone at her Big Fancy House. Her son Kyousuke tells Shiho that she is "a little mentally unstable", implied to be a consequence of Ogata's constant womanizing on top of already being ill. This is confirmed when, after seeing Shiho, Mrs. Ogata tries to kill herself; for worse, when Shiho and Kyosuke try to aid her, she mistakes her for Shiho's mother Sayuri (the better known of Ogata's flings) again and begins to insult and threaten her. (Though she later comes to her senses, realizes the mistake and asks Shiho who she actually is.) Later, in the Boarding School two-parter, Ophelia the character becomes vital to the confrontation between Shiho and the murderous Alpha Bitch Kana Juumonji, who scream Hamlet lines to each other with Kana playing Ophelia so perfectly that she's still reciting her lines as she's taken away by the police, her deceit uncovered. Kana/Satoka actually becomes this towards the end, after Shiho successfully scares her into Trauma-Induced Amnesia as specific punishment for having caused the deaths of Misaki and later Yuuichiro's, aside of the people whose deaths she provoked before.

The Ophelia / int_ff53947e	comment	In Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Senua is a more realistic version of this, if not an outright deconstruction considering how much she suffers because of her illness. She has experienced visual and auditory hallucinations all her life and is strongly implied to have schizophrenia or a similar disorder. She carries her dead boyfriend's head around and even talks to it, has long hair worn in messy braids, wears animal skins and furs, and is quite pretty (when she's not covered in gore) and otherworldly; her 'visions' and the voices she hears are seen as magical by her people, as they lack a modern understanding of mental health. Her lover Dillion never judged her for this and they had a mostly happy relationship. When Dillion was horribly killed, it triggered a psychotic break and it's not entirely clear how much of the game's events, if any, are actually happening or if it's just in Senua's head. The game's creators actually went to a lot of effort researching psychosis to portray her condition accurately.
