When an Angel becomes a Fallen Angel, it is often a result of some sort of major event in that Pokégirl’s life that not even a level 5 conditioning cycle can take away from her mind. For the rest of the Fallen Angel's life, there were but two paths that could emerge from such a conflict- losing herself, or regaining herself. Many remain as they are and stay limited by their memories and experiences. Others are found by tamers who evolve them along some other path. Rare are those tamers who would be willing to assist the Pokégirl, to attempt to change her ways, her thinking, and who she is. For those that have attempted this, it can take years, and fewer still are those who decide to even continue the attempt. These few are mainly Watchers or Researchers who have the time, patience, skill, and desire to see the change through. Those that do can find themselves rewarded with the evolution of the Fallen Angel to the Ophanim.

Originally seen during the Revenge War, only one of this species had ever even been seen and during the centuries that followed, the picture faded to obscurity even as human civilization spiraled downwards. The picture led to stories, and the stories led to fables and myth, and by the mid 200s the Ophanim myth was used to show children in bedtime stories that not all bad things come to an evil end. For despite the ferocity of Sukebe's forces, despite his driving need to express his revenge, the Ophanim appeared shortly before Atmuff's death. She was reportedly the only Pokégirl that would assist injured forces on both sides of the conflict, going as far as to assist injured humans to their nearest outposts that were not overrun. Though she could do no more than the average human medic, there were many accounts of the time, of which more than a few survived the tests of time to reach the present day, where the wounded soldiers, orphaned children, and others gave such reports to the people that had been left in charge. A picture was taken of her one time when she flew in with a pair of children to a human outpost somewhere within the Edo League, and then disappeared. Although her death was never confirmed, it is highly speculated by Researchers that at some point the Pokégirl commanders learned of what she did and killed her sometime shortly after the war ended.

These Pokégirls have four feathered wings- one pair that is retained from her previous form as a Fallen Angel, while the other is more golden or golden-brown in color, of which both pairs may be dismissed just as Angels and Fallen Angels are capable of. Their appearance rarely changes much, save for the fact that they grow several inches, and it has been recorded in a few instances that their breasts actually get smaller as a result of the evolution (they may lose up to half a cup size as a result of evolution, although smaller or larger changes have been recorded. The reason for this is still unknown). The Ophanim do gain a natural armor that may be dismissed in the same manor as their wings- although the styles vary with each individual, the color of the armor are predominately green or black. One odd quirk of this breed is the fact that they often fight without the ability to see, wearing a helm with no openings for their eyes. When questioned, the Pokégirls state that they can see perfectly with or without the helmet being worn. Most Ophanim have a strange liking for the color pink, and will wear clothes in that color when possible. Pokégirls with pink hair are also fawned over. It is considered by some tamers that perhaps the league's Nurse Joys were originally drawn from the Ophanim myth, although some details might have been lost along with time.

Though the original Ophanim had never been witnessed in a battle, Ophanim that have been evolved as recently as of the mid-200s have shown no qualms with battling, though none have been known to ever kill, on purpose or by accident. Using their Shadow Shot technique and Hazy Vision from afar, they surround themselves with Cocoon of Darkness and Dark Shield while bolstering their abilities with the Blessed Soul technique. When her defenses are to her satisfaction, the Ophanim will then often utilize Energy Drain and Lure to weaken and bring their target within range of their Dark Spear technique. Although she is not more than mediocre in one-on-one combat, the Ophanim shows her usefulness better in Grand Melees and multiple Pokégirl matches, where her Aura of Tranquility can be used to keep her harem sisters calmed down during the battle, allowing a more tactical Pokégirl or tamer to control and coordinate them better. This makes her even more useful in a sexbattle arena- despite the Ophanim's limited prowess (and lack of inherently known sex-techniques), her aura can cause her opponents to not realize when they are nearing an orgasm until she reaches it, or nearing exhaustion until it's too late. However, the Ophanim do prefer to remain at peace, not wishing to cause combat but rather to end it quickly and without casualties on any side. Using her Revival Song (which varies in length and words with each individual), the Pokégirl can revive a nearby 'target' from unconsciousness.

Within a harem setting, Ophanim have been found to get along with just about every type of Pokégirl known in the world. Their aura of tranquility makes her a universal Beta in any harem- capable of dealing with harem dynamics, disputes, and conflicts just by being nearby. However, those with stronger emotions do require other techniques, which most Ophanim attempt to learn, master, and utilize upon an individual basis. The breed in general does have a slight problem when it comes to their own stronger emotions, often being confused by them and why she has them. In a taming, this often leads to various spikes of their personality coming to the fore- one time, she may become as timid as a Titmouse and just as sensitive. At others, she may seem like a Tigress or a Succubus in bed (relative terms only, of course), or as unresponsive as a Rock-type can be. More experienced Ophanim do eventually manage to understand those feelings enough to be able to act upon them without losing sight of who or what they are. Because of their inherent randomness during a taming, tamers are urged to utilize restraints for the strong Pokégirls of this breed.
