Mrs Ophelia Howard

Ophelia, "Mrs Howard", birthdate unknown, is the friend and sometimes patroness of Lord Aries. She is the widow of Union philanthropist and explorer, Samuel Howard, whom she met in the land of her birth, Bharata. A student of history and magic, she also met Lord Aries in the Orient, though in Nippon where she had travelled with her late husband shortly before his death.

Mrs Howard is of mixed ancestry, Bharata, Arabian, and Frankish, with long, dark brown hair, light brown eyes and a light complexion, favoring her Frankish history. She was also quite wealthy and educated before she met her late husband. She claims that her father served General Napoleon and that her mother was a Bharata princess.
