There are many characters in Mistwinter Bay. Some of those characters have powerful positions across the continent of Hruminus, on which Mistwinter Bay lies. The most powerful individual on the entire continent is Ophelia Savaress, Empress of the Empire of Straena. Ophelia is also a the player character's second cousin - and boss, in a way, since Mistwinter Bay is part of Straena.
The picture features Ophelia's in-game sprite and her neutral expression. All characters have four facial expressions: neutral, happy, serious and upset. Most of the expressions are animated, too, as can be seen in the trailer. Ophelia is also part of the largest of the game's two religions: Avallerism.
