This trope refers specifically to a "lovely young woman", whose beauty underlines her frailty. So, should children such as Delirium from The Sandman and Ofelia from Pan's Labyrinthy be used as examples? Especially given the line about Ophelias being "awesome in the sack".

Are we certain that Harley Quinn isn't this trope? She bears a resemblance.
Yeah, so if I could just find happiness, that'd be great.

Does anybody else really want "Opheliac" as a redirect?

Yes, I actually do. It's basically Emilie's name for the trope, and it does describe it quite well, so...

If this was "not a good example" before, it's even worse now that the strike-through markup is no longer allowed:
- Although not a good example of this trope, [strike:Drowned] Ophelia from Brutal Legend has some traits of this such as her connection with [strike:Black Tears] Water and Drowning [strike:Doom].

- Removed The Yellow Wallpaper: the main character is deranged but not ethereal; ditto Pelafina Lievre.
would Pearl or Spinel from Steven Universe fit the trope? Pearl is an ethereal space ballerina who has some insane moments, and Spinel is, well, SPINEL.
Nyaa!
