First Impressions

VISUAL – Adaine is blonde, with shoulder length hair and bangs that she sweeps to the side. She wears round glasses over blue eyes. Her skin is pale, as she spends most of her time indoors, unless out adventuring. Being an elf, she has long, pointed ears. She's about 5'3"/160cm tall. She usually wears a denim jacket with shearling fleece collar, over a t-shirt of some kind and jeans or khaki pants. AURAL – Adaine speaks with a posh R.P. British accent. She has a large vocabulary and isn't afraid to use fancy-sounding words, but she can also "dumb things down" when necessary. She swears profusely when not in the company of an authority figure. OLFACTORY – Adaine smells like ink, chalk, and old books. When casting magic, there is an unplaceable scent in the air around her, almost like ozone.

Abilities

Adaine is a wizard, which means that she learns magic via study of written spells. Her specialization is in Divination, which is magic concerning spells of discernment, remote viewing, supernatural knowledge, and foresight. She is a powerful diviner, and often gets visions of future events, which she then acts (alongside her friends) to prevent (if they are catastrophic) or uphold (if they are advantageous). She channels her magic through the use of an Arcane Focus, which in Adaine's case is a magic sword known as the Sword of Sight, which has been passed down through many generations of Elven Oracles. She also needs to have her spellbook on hand in order to cast higher level spells, and can learn new spells by copying them into her spellbook. Her full character sheet is here.

Personality

For her entire childhood, Adaine lived in her older sister Aelwyn's shadow. Aelwyn was the golden child, her parents' perfect daughter, who could do no wrong in their eyes. Anything Adaine did or said was minimized, criticized, or even outright ignored. Even once Adaine makes friends at Aguefort, their wild shenanigans often barrel forward despite Adaine's logical protestations. She is by no means quiet, but she still has to struggle to be heard, even among the people who do, or should love her. The scorn from her parents, and Adaine's desperation to earn their approval, led Adaine to develop an anxiety disorder. Often, after doing something she knew would disappoint her parents, Adaine would fall into a panic attack. Once she opened up to Jawbone O'Shaughnessy about her panic attacks and started taking anti-anxiety medication, she started to be able to live a freer, more authentic life. She learned that her anxiety was not a personal failing, but a mental illness she was not to blame for. Adaine has always dedicated herself to her studies, fiercely and dutifully. Before high school, she felt a pressure to excel, to prove herself worthy of her parents' approval, but after failing Hudol's entrance exams and enrolling at Aguefort, Adaine began to discover how much she actually enjoyed learning for the sake of learning. She is much more suited to practical spellcasting than the theoretical study that Hudol focuses on, and has even learned enough about wizardry that she wrote a brand new spell for her best friend, Ayda. Whereas some of her friends enjoy raucous parties, it takes Adaine a while to warm up to the idea of letting loose, and she would still prefer to spend her time doing more "indoor kid" activities than she would going out and getting drunk. When not reacting to her parents' abuse with fear and anxiety, Adaine's response was to become petty and vindictive. Most of the time, she directed her anger towards her sister, slinging offensive spells at Aelwyn under the table when her parents weren't looking. Adaine's fury doesn't show often, but when she does allow herself to be derisive, she is merciless. In freshman year, any time that Biz Glitterdew spoke, she spared not one single thought for his feelings, and made it perfectly clear to him just how much she found his fedora-tipping, "m'lady" behavior to be completely repulsive. Even though Adaine is petty, she is not without the capacity to forgive those who have wronged her. The first time the Bad Kids met Jawbone, when he was working at the Black Pit, the werewolf bouncer bit Adaine and almost infected her with lycanthropy. However, once Adaine got to know Jawbone, not only did she forgive him, but the two would eventually grow so close that Jawbone filed to adopt Adaine as his daughter after the death and disappearance of her birth parents. Even Aelwyn, her greatest nemesis, earned Adaine's forgiveness, when Adaine finally saw clearly how she, too, had been a subject of their parents' abuse, albeit in a different form. In the end, Adaine and Aelwyn were able to bury the hatchet and grow closer as sisters. Overall, Adaine has proven herself to be remarkably resilient, able to adapt to and overcome all of the adversities of her upbringing. She needed the help of her friends and newfound family to do so, but with their support and encouragement, Adaine has grown into a powerful wizard, a loyal friend, and a truly happy teen.
