The Witch's Name is Ophelia. --SPDUDE48 11:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

So Japan doesn't want people to forget about Kyouko's death. Of course they'd pick the name of a woman who had one of the most famous and romanticized suicides in western literature. --randomanon 12:08, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Doesn't the name Ophelia seem more suitable for Sayaka? --SPDUDE48 12:55, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
They can't change Oktavia now that it's been chosen. Personally, I don't think Ophelia is really suited for Kyouko but I see where they may think it fits aside from the manner of death. Ophelia goes mad after her father dies and she's spurned by her love interest. For Kyouko to go witch, probably both those events happened (e.g. if you perceive Sayaka as her love interest). --randomanon 13:05, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Considering we dont know as of yet what triggered the transformation, it could be possible something along those lines could trigger it... --Mutopis 23:33, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Oh . . From Shakespeare's Hamlet. But how was her death famous and romanticized? --SPDUDE48 12:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Let me put it this way. How many women can you name off the top of your head who are famous for committing suicide? What names come to mind first? --randomanon 12:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Yep, I agree... --Mutopis 12:35, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Well Juliet for starters. Sorry, I'm really not that familiar with Hamlet --SPDUDE48 12:35, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
I see. Well Ophelia's death and the imagery of her body floating in the water is well-known in literature like Hamlet is for his soliloquy. Juliet's death is not what makes her famous but rather her relationship with Romeo as star-crossed lovers. Cleopatra also reportedly committed suicide, but that's not what she was known for so much as her manner of living and her famous relationships with Roman emperors. Whereas Ophelia's death is what she's really known for. --randomanon 12:49, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Will an Ophelia page be created soon? --Mutopis 12:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
I hope we get pictures regarding her familiars and her witch labyrinth... --Mutopis 12:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
If you want, although we have no info on the character yet so it seems premature. --randomanon 12:49, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

There'd better be fanart of her with Oktavia. --68.199.49.45 00:07, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
