Doesn't show the trope, text is illegible: The Ophelia

What's wrong with Victoria?

I stopped that video about 10 seconds into it...does she actually demonstrate the kind of madness the trope is built around at any point in it?

It asks for messy hair(she's messing with it), it asks for violent tendencies(she's muscular enough to be a convincing ass kicker and has her teeth clenched which imply agression), it asks for flowers(I got nothing), and she has to considered pretty(she is).

She did the hands on tilted head pose all the time in her early career. My picture is ripped from her titan tron(mine is slightly higher quality than the video) but I could probably find a few more pictures of that pose. If you feel the pose isn't representative at all then I'll drop it but I thought it was.

The image doesn't need changing, it's a classic picture of Ophelia. Not everything has to be anime guys

Look at the crowner.

Whatever the merits of the striking Makovsky painting, I don't get the necessary madness. The lady lady in question seems to be bravely holding up under some ordeal, but not crazy. Or perhaps passing fey, and burdened with sad news. Or both.

Dagnan-Bouveret seems much clearer. Got a hotline to Edvard Munch◊. (Or more like this.◊)

I'm putting Victoria on the crowner because I think she demonstrates the trope and haven't been convinced otherwise.

Images, not You Tube links.

I really didn't see the point of uploading an image with the chance it would lose the crowner but okay, I'll look for a still.

You aren't going to upload a picture because it might lose? That makes no sense. And adding a youtube video to an IP crowner does nothing. We're not looking for videos that demonstrate the trope; we're looking for images.

It made sense because it'd be a waste of data on the wiki to me. What you see on the video is going to look exactly like what I would upload anyway

There's several minutes of video there; I'm not going to watch that whole thing and try to figure out which frame you're referring to.

Its a titantron, designed not to take attention away from the arena, so it repeats every 30 seconds, but as you wish...might as well donate some of my surplus just this once.

Others already on.

If you don't want to upload to the wiki, just put it on Image Shack or something.

The Emilie Autumn one looks like a live-action Delirium. Which I mean as a compliment, but I agree that she looks too punk to really work properly here.

I don't particularly like any of the images on the crowner.

River Tam's Ophelia-ness really made an impression on me when I first saw Firefly. How about her? I scoured Google Images for pictures of her looking crazy, and these are the only half-decent ones I found. [1]◊ [2]◊

This one's ready to wrap up. The winner's up, tagged, and captioned with the painting title...couldn't find the date. Locking up.
