Ofelia is the protagonist of the 2006 dark fantasy film Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro. She is a young girl growing up in the Spanish Civil War, who loves fairy tales and comes to believe that she is the incarnation of the lost princess of the fairy underworld.
She was played by Ivana Baquero.
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
- She's very innocent and idealistic.
- She tries to protect her mother from Vidal's abuse and get help for her when she's suffering from her pregnancy.
- She discovers Mercedes is helping the rebels, but keeps it a secret to protect her.
- She tries to heal her mother with the mandrake the Faun gave her.
- She loves her baby brother despite him being Vidal's child (and technically having caused Carmen's death), and will do anything to protect him.
- She values free will and refuses to blindly follow orders, as shown when she uses her own wits to solve the tasks even if she's told to do something different.
- She confronts and destroys the toad who is killing the tree, telling the toad that she's not afraid of it.
- She's horrified and remorseful at her mistake in eating the grapes, as it resulted in the death of two of her fairy companions.
- She passes the third test by refusing to give her brother to the Faun, even though it results in her death at Vidal's hands, thus showing she would sacrifice herself rather than an innocent life.
- Even after dead, she still continued to be a great person, reigning as a very benevolent monarch in the afterlife.
