Ophelia's reply did two things: it didn't actually answer Beatrix's question and it made it quite clear what it was about Ophelia that the Bride had been finding so familiar.

Vengeance.

The passion and hatred Ophelia was displaying for this one-horned monster was like Beatrix's own for Bill and the rest of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Such hatred, and the things that brought that emotion about, bred insanity in the one they possess. She could see it in Ophelia. It was almost like looking into a mirror; the only real difference is that the Bride was in control of her insanity and Ophelia was not.

Though Beatrix did not like the arrogant bitch across the table from her, she did respect the desire for vengeance.

"Something to keep in mind, Ophelia - vengeance is a dish best served cold," the Bride replied. "Is a yoma what your world calls a demon?"
