GAMP the Computer: /* Speculation */

== Description ==
[[File:Ophelia-Composite.png|thumb|397x397px|Composite image of Ophelia.]]Ophelia is the [[Rusalki|Rusalka]] who originally came up with the plan to create a clone of [[Trace]] in order to combat [[Athetos]]. She has a benevolent demeanor, apologizing to Trace when [[Elsenova]], in her anger, used the nanogates to kill Trace for not agreeing to kill Athetos. When Trace nearly succumbs to Athetos' [[pathogen]], Ophelia is somehow able to cure Trace.

Although Ophelia, being a Rusalka, is considered a war machine, she seems to be more akin to a combat medic than a soldier. She is most likely the outsider being discussed in [[The Outsider (Note)]] and [[Reply: The Outsider (Note)]]''.'' This is further supported by the fact that Ophelia is the only Rusalka with a non-Slavic name (the name Ophelia originates from Shakespeare's ''Hamlet''<ref name="hamlet">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet ''Hamlet''] is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602.</ref>), as well as the only Rusalka depicted facing fully front, as opposed to in profile.

== Traits ==
* Unlike Elsenova, Ophelia can speak in plain, unbroken English. This seems to indicate that the Rusalki were given different personality types based on some outside factor (perhaps each akin to one of their creators).
* At the start of the game, Ophelia is inert and inactive due to lack of repairs. However, Trace is able to awaken her at Elsenova's suggestion by activating the [[Remote Drone|Remote Drones]].

== Location ==
Ophelia's head can be seen in mid to upper left portions of [[Ukkin-Na]]. However, her body is located in the lower right portion of [[Edin]].

== Etymology ==
In Shakespeare's ''Hamlet''<ref name="hamlet" />, Ophelia is a young woman who ultimately goes mad and drowns herself.<ref>Taken from [https://www.reddit.com/r/axiomverge/comments/37flnm/spoilers_significance_of_names_ties_to_realworld/ this post] on Reddit.</ref> This is probably related to the [[Rusalki]] being "water machines", as well as the [[Notes]] that imply Ophelia speaks [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Modern_English Early Modern English]. Shakespeare chose that name because in Ancient Greek οφέλη (o-'''''phe'''''-læ) means "a great benevolent act" or "gift" (like Theodora<ref name="theodora">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodora_(given_name) ''Theodora''] is a feminine given name, which derives from the Greek words θεός, theos, "god" and δῶρον, doron, "gift".</ref>), but it sounds really close to οφειλή (o-phe-'''''læ'''''), which means "a great debt (or sin) to pay for". The pair of words, almost homophones (only one emphasis away), make Ophelia great as a literary name, describing the dual nature of a character. The good and evil counterparts were too poetic for Shakespeare to ignore, and the same could be said for the [[Developer|creator of Axiom Verge]], since it shows Ophelia (as a Rusalka) is questionable in nature.

== Speculation ==

* It is likely Ophelia was once [[Indra]] from [[Axiom Verge 2]], due to her strikingly similar appearance to the Rusalki, along with other in-game clues.

Indra

== Description ==
[[File:Indra icon fixed.png|right]]
'''Indra Chaudhari''' is the protagonist of [[Axiom Verge 2]]. She is a mysterious billionaire who owns the worldwide [[Globe 3]] conglomerate.

Indra’s physical characteristics include having black or very dark brown hair, with scraggly, gray accents and a noticeable, possibly colored large, light gray patch of hair on the right side of her scalp. Her hair reaches to her chest area, with the gray accents continuing all the way down, possibly showing that she's old, though her face does not suggest so. She also has dark skin, very dark blue-tinted sunglasses and she seems to wear very dark red lipstick, or her lips are naturally the color.

Indra also wears gray clothes with buttons running through the middle and sleeves, with a two-part gray cloak that reaches behind her. Under the gray jacket and cloak she seems to be wearing a dark blue or indigo shirt.

She is revealed fairly early on to have a daughter named Samara, and she is looking for her.

<br />

== Axiom Verge 1 (SPOILERS) ==
It is heavily implied that Indra becomes the [[Rusalki|Rusalka]] known as [[Ophelia]]. In the ending cutscene for Axiom Verge 2, Indra laments about how she didn't really feel like she was worthy of her name since her past body died holding [[Amashilama]] down and she was now merely an evolved form of the drone Amashilama trapped her in. Furthermore, the last image ending credits depicts a full-body image of Indra's latest form, her face and hair greatly mirroring the forward-facing Ophelia's facial structure and wiring. Another thing to note is that the shadows in Ophelia's eyes match the shaping of Indra's sunglasses.
