Ophelia

Ophelia, more commonly known as Frenchie, is a character in Red Light: Origins. She serves as a moderately important side character, adding to James Farley's storyline.

Background
Ophelia is mentioned as having family in and around Montreal, where a chunk of Origins takes place. Her father seems to have been a hard working businessmen, and as such, Ophelia was left with a lot of money and a father figure who wasn't all that present throughout her life. As such, Ophelia was mostly unmonitered throughout her teenage years but simultaneously had all her expenses paid for. This manifested itself in her partaking in James Farley's clandestine fight against the WWU, which coincides with her late teenage-hood.

In her early teenage years, Ophelia was abducted with countless other girls in a human trafficking ring, directly or indirectly managed by the WWU. Around that time, James Farley, then a cop in Chicago, was investigating that said human trafficking ring. At this point in history, the WWU had a solid enough grasp on those in power that James was both threatened and aggressively persuaded by his higher ups to drop the investigation. Although he never abandoned the cause, James was never able to save the abducted girls, save for Ophelia. Ophelia was only saved from the clutch of the WWU because of the wealth of her father, who probably either ransomed his daughter or straight up bought her. After the whole ordeal, James lost his marriage and his career. James moved to New York to pursue a career there, and Ophelia and her dad did too.

Ophelia and James developed a friendly relation. She was part of his schemes against the WWU, using the wealth, privileges and contacts of her father to her and Farley's advantage. Within James' circle, she was dubbed Frenchie because of her French-Canadian decent. She describes her partaking in James illegal vigilante activities as part of her "angsty teenage rebellious phase". That rebellious nature of hers might be due to her complicated relationship with her father and also due to her generation's growing resentment towards the corrupt state of the world.
