Ophile

The eldest sister. The matriarch. The smartest. The spinster. Blue hair. Prior to the arrival of Paris, it's possible she considered herself too smart for love, that she had evolved past the need for it. When Paris enters, her heart betrays her intelligence, making her feel weak. She is cruel to Bettine but self-flagellant. She regrets her jealousy. 

Objective: To move past her feelings for Paris and her jealousy.
Main Action: Punish Bettine and herself for her jealousy.
Conflict: She is smart enough to know Paris doesn't love her, but she can't help her feelings.
Super objective: To not need love.
Not/But: Not unrealistic about her expectations for a future with Paris, but acutely aware of reality in spite of her fantasies. She is jealous because she believes she can't have the love they share with anyone?
