Background[]

Ophelia was born in a merchant's family from Elwynn. The father, named Antonio Perelli, was a traveling merchant, selling rare goods and tomes. The family traveled alongside him, venturing from town to town in bussines. Once, when the family were in southern Elwynn (future Duskwood), they visited Blackshield Manor, the ancestral home of House BlackshieldThe young lord of the house, lord William Harl Blackshield, became friends with Ophelia. The two later fell in love, and they married. She left her approving father and mother to live with her husband. Ophelia became lady of the House Blackshield. She lived with her beloved husband in the Blackshield Manor. Later on, the two got a daughter, whom they named Veria. The first son was born 7 years later, and was named Carlen (later Kaliv).The last son was born 12 years after and was named William. When the Slaughtering of Blackshield Manor occured, Ophelia was one of the only survivor, alongside her sons Carlen and William. Her husband and daughter were both killed in the assault on the manor. Ophelia managed to escape through a window and flee through the countryside. She then traveled with her sons towards northern Elwynn, in hope of escaping the Scourge that were ravaging through Duskwood. The riverborder between the two halves of Elwynn was unaccesible, though, because of a large number of plagued wolves and massivly growing siders that were appearing as a bieffect of the plague spreading. She thus traveled to the east, trying to reach the safety of Redridge Mountains. Carlen, being the youngest of the brothers, protected Ophelia and William from the undead soldiers and the plagued wildlife. The group reached Lakeshire after weeks of perilous travel. Ophelia got a place to stay in the town, alongside all other refugees. Nobody knew it was the lade of Blackshield and the children, though, and were just another three who had fled Duskwood. Ophelia planned to leave for Stormwind, and establish a new life there. She never got the chance, though. On the fifth day in Lakeshire, a raid of Blackrock orcs attacked Lakeshire. In the heated battle between human defenders and orcish beserkers, an orchish warrior broke through the defending line and killed Ophelia along with another group of people. Ophelia was buried a few days after the attack. Her grave, a small, unmarked one, lies at the small graveyard on the other side of the lake.
