[hider=Adelaide]Name: Adelaide

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance: A fierce and beautiful woman, with a statuesque build and flawless pale skin. Adelaide has thick obsidian colored hair that falls to just below her bust, with flecks of raven-like feathers in between the strands. Despite her fangs and devilish red eyes, she is a striking beauty that leaves most people awestruck. Tall and lithe, Adel stands at 72 inches and weighs about 10 stone. She wields a longsword, and a shining red bow is strapped across her  black leather-clad back.

Personality: Adelaide is fiery and independent, bordering on feral in personality. In battle, she prefers to engage in combat from a distance and fire arrows infused with elemental magicks. When she is up close to her opponents, she uses her charm to distract and disorganize them before making them meet the tip of her longsword. While Adel may have a pretty face, she is cold, judgmental, and hard to get along with at first. She places nature high above the life of any humanoid creature and will gladly slay any foe to protect the wild lands.

History: Adelaide remembers little of her childhood, as she has blocked most of it out. Her parents were older when they birthed her, and they soon after fell ill to a plague that racked their village. At five years old, Adelaide was left to be cared for by the hearth and homes of other families in the village, but they wanted her not… 

Most of the upstanding English folk didn’t want to be associated with the ‘demon child’. They abused her and called her cruel names, associating her with the work of the “Devil” because of her distorted features. It wasn’t long before Adel sought to flee the abuse, taking refuge in the wild lands.

It was in her childhood that Adelaide learned her hatred of men and women, and in the forests that she learned the kindness and strength of nature. Adelaide met people like her; other ‘devil children’… even adult monsterborn that taught her how to use elemental spells. Adelaide learned to hunt for her own food using a bow and arrow, a skill that she was unknowingly naturally adept at. She practice swordplay with the other children and finally began to enjoy her childhood. Once Adelaide reached her teenage years, her forest family urged her to make herself known in the human world again, as they had themselves, to show them her power instead of her fear.

Adelaide integrated herself into society in ways that most people wouldn’t consider upstanding or ladylike. With her beguiling charm and beauty, she lent her body to prostitution and carnal pleasures. With her physical strength and magic, she sold her body as a warrior and sword(bow) for hire – often killing without question.

That is Adelaide’s history, the rest has yet to be written…
