Ophelia Turtle

Ophelia Turtle is a stoat who first appeared as a 20-year-old during the pandemic. Originally named Ophelia Stoat, she was the only remaining member of her family after all her relatives were killed by pelt hunters. She had lived on the streets since being orphaned at age 13. The first resident of Domain she encountered was George Gopher, a member of the Beige University Gardening Team who was temporarily living in a tunnel underneath the tree residence of Lindesfarne Dewclaw and her husband Fenton Fuscus. Ophelia had burrowed into George's tunnel while being pursued by her captors who were hunting her for her pelt. She had escaped by digging out of her cage and navigating through tunnels that had been abandoned by the National Organization of Picky Eaters (N.O.P.E.).

After being saved by George, she was introduced to Lindesfarne who asked if she wanted anything to eat. Ophelia responded by removing her mask to reveal herself and requesting gopher meat, which left George feeling apprehensive. While he was burrowing a new tunnel, Lindesfarme called to ask him to take a selfie without his mask on and send it to her. Ophelia saw the selfie, realized that he was a gopher and fled in shock and confusion. When she was immediately chased by a pair of badgers, she safely ran back to the tree house with help from Lindesfarne and George. The first attempt to throw the pelt hunters off her track was to create a new identity as Ophelia Gopher, George's sister. She then moved in with Greta Garter who was living in a tunnel under the field in the gardening stadium after the university was closed due to the pandemic. Ophelia was forced to flee when the badgers commandeered an excavator and dug into the tunnel, but they ended up with George in disguise instead.

Then a $5,000 bounty was placed on Ophelia. Knowing that she was allergic to cosmetics, Greta's toad boyfriend Todd gave her the turtle shell he had been wearing. Besides giving her a feeling of protection she never had previously, the shell also functions as a mask. George again had to disguise as Ophelia and serve as a decoy against the pelt hunters, many of whom were eliminating each other in the competition. "Ophelia Stoat, alias Ophelia Gopher" was officially declared deceased when one such hunter retrieved George's wig which had snagged on a tree branch and claimed that it was all that was left of her. She enthusiastically declared Ophelia Turtle as her new identity, remained Greta's roommate and began a relationship with George who also was outfitted with a turtle shell constructed by Lindesfarne via a desktop 3-D printer.

Ophelia is currently employed as the caregiver for Savanna, the lioness cub daughter of Leona Mangle and her husband Carl. She had been recommended by Lindesfarne, George and Greta despite lacking formal training. Her only experience with child care began when she walked onto a scene of a hawk attack and picked up an egg she was about to eat, but it hatched when she held it and out came a baby chameleon. She decided to gather up the wallets and phone that had been abandoned by the chameleon parents, purchased baby supplies, watched infant care videos and applied what she had learned. Her use of an ultraviolet lamp under a grated manhole cover drew the attention of pelt hunters, and she was forced to run for her life again. She dropped off the baby chameleon at Spawn Services to protect her from any further danger. Ophelia was informed by Greta that the infant was adopted by Bruno Lupulin and Corrie Dewclaw and named Carla. She leapt out of her shell when informed of getting the job.
