​Ophie was born in Morlad, raised by a farming family. Her father, however, was a corsair that she only saw occasionally. Her mother used to take her down to the shoreline to see him. It was always at night and it was always a secret. He usually bestowed upon her some gift, a small trinket or toy. As she got older, the visits became less and less frequent until they stopped altogether.

After her mother passed away of a sickness, Opheliea moved to Minas Tirith to become an apprentice in the Houses of Healing. Under her mentor she soared in her studies and became a renowned healer in the city. Unfortunately, her heritage was not a secret to the people of Minas Tirith and though she was not run out from her home, she did not feel comfort or happiness remaining in Gondor. 

Since then she has left and traveled across Middle-Earth, offering her services to anyone who needed them. For a time, she stayed in the North Downs to help with a company there fighting against the orc menace at Trestlebridge. With that group, she followed them into the Lone-Lands and departed from their company to stay in Ost Guruth, helping the rangers and healers as much as she could. When she felt that she had done all she could do, she set off towards Bree.
