"Just because I failed Lisa doesn't mean I have to fail anyone else."
 _______________________________________________ Adora Erica Phoenix-Prescott She/Her | 26 | African-American | 5'6ft | 141 _______________________________________________ Resolute. _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "I'll help you realize it's all in your head." ___________________________________ Boxing ⫻ When Adora was growing up, her grandfather knew she was going to grow up to be cute, so he decided to get her trained how to fight and defend herself. Not just anyone, the legendary “Gravity” Richoux... But until his mysterious disappearance. She put the training to good use when she was protecting Lisa from bullies in high school and in the Old Coven. However, she is very out of practice, but a lot of that stuck with her. Painting ⫻ Something, her therapist, got her to pick up as a method of building a routine and soothing herself. She discovered that she is a very talented painter, and often draws amazing art... That never leaves her house. Basketball ⫻ It was another activity that her mother and grandparents pushed her to do. She isn’t amazing at it, but don't underestimate her jump shot. Computer Savvy ⫻ Adora works as tech support as a remote job and she surprises people with how knowledgeable and skilled she is. Spiders! ⫻Well, hanging around Lisa has caused her obsession with spiders to rub off a bit on Adora. Adora can easily identify spiders off the back of her hand... However, she associates Spiders with Lisa, so she avoids talking about them. | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "I made myself into something people can depend on." A very unapproachable woman, and a very intimidating one at that. Maybe it's the fact that Adora has a permanent Resting-Bitch-Face. She exudes an air of superiority not out of disdain for others but as a declaration that she will not allow anyone to dictate her worth or destiny. The girl strangely carries herself; she has an aloof and uncaring aura - as she'd seldomly be the first person to approach someone. She only seems uncaring in her attitude, and Adora takes extreme care in her appearance, from her attitude to her body to her overall cleanliness. You'd be dead if you found Adora not looking her very best. Adora takes giant steps and usually has her face and head concealed behind an oversized hoodie with her hands in her pockets. She usually speaks surprisingly high-pitched and is quick and to the point, and never smiles (If you make her smile, you must be something else). Overall, she has a menacing aura that is mysterious underneath it all. In terms of body, Adora is average heighted and well-built; back in the days of the old Coven, she had a little gut and padding to her body - but not anymore. After losing her friend Lisa, Adora has found therapy in the gym and is very well-built. Her biceps are thick, her forearms are veiny, and her thick thighs and calves are very well built from leg day and tons of cardio. Yes, she has a big butt, it was a "gift" from her mother, and it's substantial from all the squats she does. Her bra size is 38b... but because she's five-six, she doesn't look all that tall. However, Adora keeps her body well covered, and she's one of those gals who always wears long-sleeved shirts and pants. Never wear anything sexual or provocative - though Adora enjoys the occasional dress. Now, Adora is African-American, and she tries to take care of her skin, but she has a nasty scar on her stomach from the battle with the Stygian Snake. It's red and fleshy and comes out the back - but good luck seeing it. Adora keeps her hair in dreads that are clean and well-maintained - but very short. In terms of attire, as stated before, Adora dresses in the most unflattering ways possible so people don't sexualize her. She usually wears baggy clothes that do not accentuate her feminine features and cover as much of her skin as possible. However, this isn't something she always does, and sometimes she dresses sexy... and surprises people with how well-built she is. However, when she's out in public and the weather permits, expect Adora to wear a hoodie and keep the hood up, so getting a good view of her face would be challenging. In private, Adora dresses in the most comfortable or none at all. However, she keeps a strange golden ring on her index finger, for no reason at all. |

"Coming back to the Coven brings back so many bad memories... but I have to do this. To find the strength to get over it all. To solve this for everyone."
MAIN GOAL ⫻ Adora doesn't exactly have one. After witnessing Lisa Turner's graphic death, her life has been one big maze without a way out. It has been ten years since her mental health has seemingly been permanently marred by that one traumatic event, and she yearns for healing. However, it's easier said than done, but despite it all, she is determined to find peace not just for herself but the memory of her fallen friend. Simultaneously, Adora wants to rebuild the bridges that once connected her to the people that she loved and cared about and, above all else, belong again. Yet, amidst the mental turmoil that haunts the woman, she still has that resolve to make a positive impact in the world. Adora's experiences have instilled in her a sense of duty to help others, especially those who, like Lisa, are vulnerable and in need of protection. Each of these threads forms a metaphorical tapestry that constantly pulls the woman in different directions, but all of them meet in the same place: redemption, healing, and purpose.
PHILOSOPHY ⫻ Raised with the values of honesty, strength, and compassion, Adora's worldview is crafted by a deep-seated belief in justice and fairness. She sees herself as a protector, a guardian of the weak, willing to fight for people who cannot. However, the loss of Lisa has left her questioning everything she once held dear, and doubt, self-hatred, and guilt gnaw at her from within. The once unshakeable pillar is now fragile, and she has no choice but to protect it with her confrontational nature. While her confrontational demeanor may serve as a shield to keep others out, it also protects her from herself, preventing her from embracing her vulnerabilities. However, there is a glimmer of hope in her soul; that pissed-off pillar refuses to be controlled or defined by her trauma. Regardless of how many obstacles stand in her way, she will carve out not only a path of healing but her own place in the world.
SECRETS ⫻ Adora tells herself she doesn't have secrets, but she guards her trauma against the world with her life. It took years before Adora could be convinced to go to therapy, and beforehand, she was fully willing to go to the grave with her trauma. That fateful day haunts her every literal moment, and she'll be damned before she lets a second of it slip. Adora hides this secret by presenting herself as an unshakeable rock, a paragon for people to look up to.
SEXUALITY ⫻ Adora's sexuality is a facet of herself that remains unexplored, overshadowed by her personal trauma. While she identifies as bisexual, her battle with her mental health has made it difficult to engage in intimacy or a meaningful relationship. Yet, within her walls and underneath that tough demeanor she puts on is a longing for intimacy, passion, and connection. As her mental health improves, she finds herself toying with the idea of dating but the road ahead is uncertain.
FEARS ⫻ Beneath Adora Phoenix-Prescott's confident facade is a wellspring of fear and terror that stretches far beyond the boundaries of her own control. The most potent fear that Adora faces is the fear of being powerless in any situation sends shivers down her spine. Then there is her fear of vulnerability, which acts as an ever-present reminder of the pain she endured during and after Lisa's death. Most concerningly is that storm of emotions that constantly resides in her that threatens to break out at any given moment. Her grief, her guilt, her anxiety, and her anger constantly threaten to break free, and she finally loses control of herself and also loses herself. There is the fear of repeating the same mistakes and failing to protect the people that she loves and cares about. However, these are not the sole sources of dread in Adora's mind, and underneath her resolute exterior, there is a web of anxieties.
REPUTATION IN OLD COVEN ⫻ Adora's reputation was a mixed bag, a mixture of admiration and friction. Adora, along with her friends Clementine and Vanessa, were thought highly of for their contributions to the battle against the Stygian Snake. She was viewed as an instrumental element and many adored them for saving countless lives. However, Adora's confrontational and outspoken nature basically made her a lightning rod for conflict, especially against those who mistreated or bullied others. Her confrontational nature also came with a protective one, and she didn't hesitate to challenge anyone who crossed the line. All of this was, to the agitation of many, tolerated because Adora was so instrumental in the fight against the Stygian Snake that the Old Coven simply couldn't afford to lose her. However, after Lisa's death, Adora chose to walk away for her own sake - unaware of her upcoming struggle with her mental health, and journey of healing. In the end, Adora is largely unaware of the Coven's eventual fate and she's indifferent to it.
ROLE IN THE BATTLE WITH THE STYGIAN SNAKE ⫻ Adora played a significant role in the battle against the Stygian Snake, wielding the Trinity Ring alongside Clementine and Vanessa. Together, they saved countless lives, cleaved through hundreds of its minions, and even drove off the Apparition in some instances. However, in the final battle, Adora's shutdown following Lisa's death made her effectively useless from then on.
FLAWS ⫻ Adora's flaws are as numerous as they are complex, and at her core lies her battle-scarred psyche, plagued by PTSD stemming from witnessing Lisa's brutal death. This casts a long shadow over the girl that manifests in the form of various triggers - primarily in the form of mentioning the events of the war against the Stygian Snake, Lisa's death, and other related events. Despite her seemingly unbreakable veneer, these triggers can send her spiraling. This trauma and her fear of vulnerability have made her reclusive and isolated her from people whom she wants to connect to and the support system she desperately needs. This stops her from reaching out to others for help and just makes her retreat into solitude and do it alone. What makes it worse is her confrontational nature, a shield against perceived threats also pushes people away. Adora is, at times, rude and abrasive and speaks her mind without thinking about how other people feel. this strains her relationships with others and makes it harder for her to connect to people. Adora finds herself caught in a storm of contradiction and is teetering on the edge of self-destruction. As she grapples with insecurity, doubt, and, above all else, self-hatred because of her past failures, she pushes herself further and further past her limits to self-destructive levels.

Backstory
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
"I did it not for praise, but out of love."
A native of St. Portwell, Adora grew up in a house on the outskirts of St. Portwell that her grandfather owned and intended to pass down. Adora never knew her father, as her mother always told her that she got a "sperm donor."... there was that part of Adora that knew that she wasn't being literal, but as she grew up, she had little interest in finding out who her father was. She didn't need him, after all. Adora grew up following her mother's model, being outspoken and taking nothing from no one person. Her grandfather's more compassionate, nurturing nature... and Adora ended up being a weird mixture of both of them, with her traits. These three people gave Adora everything and did everything in their power to ensure she became a reasonable person in a world of horrible ones.
Though growing up, Adora was not a people person... not to say that she was introverted, but she was very outspoken and confrontational, even at a young age. Still, she was a very judgemental girl with high standards for herself and ensured that the people she surrounded herself with were the best. The only friends she had growing up were the neighbor girls, Clementine and Vanessa Washington. They were two young, fun-loving, moral girls much like herself, but Adora was the more cool-headed one in their little cliche. They grew so attached that nothing would ever break them apart. However, this worried her mother, who pushed the young Adora towards activities - arts, sports, anything - that would help her develop social skills, and eventually, Adora ended up as a cheerleader in that cliche. However, she wasn't very popular with them as she was critical of the "popular" girl's bullying.
Especially of Lisa Turner.
Lisa Turner was a shy, socially awkward gal who wasn't liked by anyone and bullied by most. She had weird interests (like spiders, body horror, and other macabre things) and could never entirely hold on due to her clumsy demeanor. Adora knew she was bullied and would be there to give even the biggest and most challenging jocks a piece of her mind if they so much as tried anything on the girl. Though Adora only spoke with her in passing, she kept her eye on her - so did Vanessa and Clementine. However, after a certain point, Lisa began pulling back - hardly going to school - and Adora felt something was wrong. She wasn't one to assume the worst, but she had to do something.
The bullies knew where Lisa lived, and after interrogating one of them, Adora got Lisa's address. She skipped school herself, walked over to Lisa's, and calmly knocked on the door until someone answered. After a bit of chatting, Adora convinced Lisa's parents to let her talk to her, and Adora sat down next to Lisa on that bed and talked to her. Lisa told her everything about how miserable she was, how nobody liked her, and how she wished she was dead.
Adora couldn't have that.
Adora did everything she could to befriend Lisa by constantly talking to her and being the first person ever to be nice to her. She constantly talked to her on the phone, letting her nerd out about her niche interests and weird spider facts. Eventually, Adora managed to get Lisa to come back to school; anyone who dared look at Lisa the wrong way got a sharp scolding at best (at worse, Adora whoop their ass after school). Maybe it was out of stroking her ego and feeling good about herself, but Adora would do anything to save a life. Above all else, Adora felt happy that she brought light into someone's life; even if Lisa wasn't made in Adora's likeness, they developed a bond. She saw Lisa as a little sister, and she would do anything for her, which made Lisa eternally grateful.
However, one day, Lisa had something to show Adora, which Adora was hoping was not some love confession... and after Lisa showed her, she wished that it was. Lisa spit out a spider the size of a basketball like it was nothing! Adora, naturally, freaked out, and Lisa calmed her down by telling her that magic was real and that she had gained magic from getting pushed to the brink by her bullies. She wanted to show someone, and Adora just took off into the night - which hurt both of them. This pushed them apart for a little while, which Adora felt terrible about, but she kept it a secret to protect Lisa.
Around this time, Adora's grandfather died and told her that it was a part of his will that his house would be hers upon turning eighteen (yay!). However, on his deathbed, he also left her three golden rings and told them that they were his most prized possession and to keep them with her at all times. She promised that she would do it, and she donned all three rings, and whenever someone asked, she would tell them that they were her grandfather's. However, it didn't take long to realize that they... changed her. They made her stronger, faster, and tougher, from accidentally tearing a door off its hinges to knocking a pickup truck over and flying. It didn't take a genius to realize she had gotten superpowers.
The first thing she did was apologize to Lisa, and when she got to her house, it was difficult to get into the Turner household, but she managed to talk to Lisa face-to-face. Lisa initially wanted nothing to do with Adora, but she came around... then the Stygian Snake attacked her house. The two girls were shocked, paralyzed from fear, as they never saw anything like that before. Adora found the bravery inside herself to confront the monster and at least give Lisa time to escape - Adora was almost killed, and everything went dark. However, the Sycamore Tree Coven came in the knick of time and saved them, driving off the Stygian Snake, and Sully gave her a drink out of the Chalice to heal all of her wounds.
After Adora came, they found Lisa, introduced themselves as the Coven, and told them everything - alongside an invitation. The two accepted it, and Lisa was finally off making friends and learning more about herself! Adora was proud, but she fell into Britney William's hands... Britney examined the rings and told her they were the legendary Trinity Rings. Adora was using them wrong, and the three rings were intended to be used by three people to utilize their full strength. However, Adora was a prideful, vain, and stubborn young girl who didn't want anyone else touching her father's rings: Multi-dimensional entity or not. After much convincing, Adora roped her two friends, Clementine and Vanessa Washington, into the Coven and gave them the two rings.
That was not a decision that Adora regretted, as with the Trinity Rings, they were flying powerhouse, and they could tear apart the Stygian Snake's minions. However, they worked closely with Lisa Turner, who learned how to create powerful Spider Minions to counter the Stygian Snake's army. They battled monster after monster at night while hanging out with the Coven during whatever lull they could get. However, things changed during the day of the eclipse (the final battle), and Adora, Clementine, and Vanessa confronted the Stygian Snake first and head-on, boosted by Bianca, Greta, and the other abstraction boosters while everyone else got in position. They did some severe damage to the Stygian Snake alongside Daisy and the others, which made Adora highly confident in the plan. Lisa insisted on staying by Adora's side, providing minions to battle the Stygian Snake, and Adora was more than confident that she could protect Lisa.
Too confident.
The Stygian Snake managed to launch Adora away... leaving Lisa vulnerable. The Stygian Snake used its darkness to tear Lisa apart in front of everyone slowly. Adora desperately went in, tears flowing, deluding herself into thinking she could do anything. By the time she got there, Lisa was already in pieces, and Adora fell apart, cradling Lisa's dead body and crying her eyes out as everyone fought. She was removed from the battlefield, and only heard that the Stygian Snake was defeated. Adora was crushed under the weight of it all... but she tried to participate in the old Coven. However, it was obvious that her heart wasn't in it, and she felt guilty for being unable to save Lisa after everything she did.
Adora quietly told the leadership that she was bowing out of the old Coven, and she didn't so much as speak to them afterward. PTSD wracked her, and she withdrew from all social circles, including her two closest friends. The death of Lisa haunted her, and whenever she tried to have fun, she could only see Lisa wherever she went. Adora took the ring off, as she didn't care about magic or none of this nonsense; she wanted Lisa back and became reclusive. If anyone recognized her, she would just run away.
Adora hardly left the house, and Adora's mother gave her some space, but she had to help her daughter... and convinced her to get therapy for her trauma. Working on herself through consoling wasn't easy; it was incredibly daunting and full of challenges - it seemed like she went back down every time she came up. It took her years before she stopped blaming herself for Lisa's death, and she eventually learned to forgive herself for Lisa's death. The depression went away in due time, but the nightmares didn't go away, nor did the attacks, no matter how hard she tried. It was something that she had to deal with.
As part of her healing process, Adora exited her self-imposed exile and contacted Vanessa and Clementine - who moved to the other side of the country. They were angry that she had ghosted them but were happy to hear about her journey. The conversation took a turn when Adora asked for the other two Trinity Rings, and they told her that they had given them to Sloane Harris before they left the Old Coven. Adora couldn't fault them as she failed to understand how important they were to her and figured she could get it from Sloane. However, Sloane refused, as Adora "gave up her duty," no matter how hard Adora asked for them and how Adora insulted her, Sloane refused to give up the rings. Eventually, Adora gave up, as she knew a losing battle when she saw one and just figured they'd be safe.
Adora just focused on her physical and mental health until the murders began. They brought back bad memories and caused a regression that caused Adora to go reclusive for a bit. She initially refused Auri's invitation, but she had to do something about the murders.
She couldn't watch as more people lost the people dear to them like Lisa was to her.
Though growing up, Adora was not a people person... not to say that she was introverted, but she was very outspoken and confrontational, even at a young age. Still, she was a very judgemental girl with high standards for herself and ensured that the people she surrounded herself with were the best.

Working on herself through consoling wasn't easy; it was incredibly daunting and full of challenges - it seemed like she went back down every time she came up. It took her years before she stopped blaming herself for Lisa's death, and she eventually learned to forgive herself for Lisa's death. The depression went away in due time, but the nightmares didn't go away, nor did the attacks, no matter how hard she tried. It was something that she had to deal with.
As part of her healing process, Adora exited her self-imposed exile and contacted Vanessa and Clementine - who moved to the other side of the country. They were angry that she had ghosted them but were happy to hear about her journey. The conversation took a turn when Adora asked for the other two Trinity Rings, and they told her that they had given them to Sloane Harris before they left the Old Coven. Adora couldn't fault them as she failed to understand how important they were to her and figured she could get it from Sloane. However, Sloane refused, as Adora "gave up her duty," no matter how hard Adora asked for them and how Adora insulted her, Sloane refused to give up the rings. Eventually, Adora gave up, as she knew a losing battle when she saw one and just figured they'd be safe.
Adora just focused on her physical and mental health until the murders began. They brought back bad memories and caused a regression that caused Adora to go reclusive for a bit. She initially refused Auri's invitation, but she had to do something about the murders.
She couldn't watch as more people lost the people dear to them like Lisa was to her.
Abstraction
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
"... I'm going to STRANGLE Sloane."
TYPE ⫻ Aberration (Agent).
ABSTRACTION ⫻ The Trinity Ring, a trio of three powerful rings that created a paranormal bond between three women that grants them flight, speed, super strength, and durability long as they remained close to each other. However, Adora only has one ring and gets a sliver of its true potential.
ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ The Trinity Ring was a legendary artifact in the All-Verse created by the Amazons to protect their island. They created the rings to have three mighty guardians come to protect their island from any external intrusion, independent of any feuds the various Amazon tribes may be having. However, due to the planning and scheming of outsiders, all three threes were stolen from the island, and since then, they changed hands often - eventually landing in Adora's. Their primary function is to be distributed amongst three women, who are effectively Goddesses as long as they remain within five meters of each other. They each can fly at speeds that can be hard to perceive except by the keenest eye, strong enough to lift buildings, and can tank even the strongest Paranormal attacks (only the Stygian Snake had the raw power to stagger them). The battle with the Stygian Snake made Adora and her two friends powerhouses capable of making the Stygian Snake retreat with the help of some Abstraction boosting.
However, without someone to bear the other two rings, it's only a shell of the awe-inspiring strength... going from punching the Stygian Snake to only being able to carry a dresser up the stairs by herself. Adora only possesses one ring, which boosts her physical capabilities to being slightly her normal capabilities, which is nothing compared to some of the supernatural feats others are capable of. However, there was an oversight in the design of the Trinity Ring: if one put on all rings, they would get a power boost that would be nothing to the Ring's peak but still a significant power boost. Adora can see the auras of anyone wearing the rings as long as they are in her field of vision.
Below is all that Adora can do if she dons the three rings:
LIMITS ⫻ As stated all over the Abstraction section... Adoras will never be able to reach the peaks of the Trinity Ring without giving the two other rings to other people. However, that's not viable as Adora has no one she can trust; she doesn't want to lose the rings again, and the rings are currently MIA as they were a part of Sloane's stolen collection. Even if Adora gets all three rings, she will operate at a fraction of her true power. Also, they can only be used by women.
WEAKNESSES ⫻ Working against the Trinity Ring's intended functions will not go well for Adora, as utilizing the Trinity Ring will cause a decline in Adora's body functions. If she uses the ring's power for over a few seconds, she'll experience dizziness, headaches, vomiting, and bleeding from the nose. These are the milder end of the scale as the further she pushes herself, the worse these effects will get... ending with temporary blindness, organ failure, and vomiting blood. If Adora goes all out, it can quickly kill her. The more rings she has on, the worse these effects will get, and the quicker she'll get to the worst side effects.

Adora can see the auras of anyone wearing the rings as long as they are in her field of vision.
Below is all that Adora can do if she dons the three rings:
ONE RING ⫻ Adora's current level. With just one Trinity Ring, Adora receives a slight boost to her physical capabilities. She can lift about 200 pounds with ease, enough to move heavier furniture or carry someone over her shoulder. In terms of durability, she can take a punch or two from a grown man before going down, and it takes more force to cause her harm with a knife or other sharp objects. Her speed increases slightly, allowing her to run a bit faster than usual, but nothing that anyone (not even herself) will be able to notice. The most paranormal aspect of having one ring is her ability to fly, which is quite slow, and anyone can outwalk it at a leisurely pace. However, she is capable of hovering in place however long is necessary.
TWO RINGS ⫻ With two rings, Adora's physical capabilities increase dramatically. Her strength allows her to lift around 1200 pounds overhead, and her durability allows her to shrug off mundane attacks short of a firearm. Adora's sprinting speed reaches about 20 miles per hour, and her flight becomes useful, allowing her to fly at about the same speed she can sprint.
THREE RINGS ⫻ When Adora wears all three Trinity Rings, she gains significantly enhanced abilities, but not to the point of invincibility. Her strength allows her to lift about 2000 pounds overhead, meaning she can move smaller vehicles with some strained effort. Attacks that would fell others merely bounce off of her, leaving her unscathed, as she is capable of tanking supernatural strikes and low-caliber rounds. Adora's sprinting speed increases to around 30 miles per hour, and her flight speed reaches a maximum of 60 miles per hour.

"If I die, I'll make sure I do it taking care of the people I love and care about."
Britney.Williams | |
|---|---|
 "A sister, I can trust her above everyone else." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora and Britney didn't hang out or spend a whole lot of time together, but what time they did spend together was enough for Adora to retain Britney's memory in her head. Despite it all, Britney helped Adora find the true potential of the Trinity Rings and thus saved countless lives. She was always good friends with Lisa, which earned her points in Adora's book. So, Britney is Adora's friend through and through... ... Until Adora finds out what Britney did to Luca, and gave Emily G. Reed more avenues to be a monster. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
 "What did Jade see in you?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora was never a fan of Drake Blackmore. She understood that, in the end, Drake was trying to do the right thing... and then the Coven shouldn't have stuck their neck out trying to save him, and he should have faced the consequences of his actions. No one listened to her, and lo and behold, Saskia went down with him in his stupid stunts. Adora never liked Drake after that and wanted him out of the Coven before he could take anyone else's life... However, after Lisa's death, she couldn't hold onto the hatred she previously held for Drake. She will be more than willing to give him a second chance if he grew as a person. And she is sad that Jade was a victim. |
Alizée.Altieri | |
 "I never trusted you; there was always something off about you...." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora never liked Alizee. Never liked her personally. Adora never liked her Apparition. She just disliked her. And never liked that she dragged a child into the war with the Stygian Snake and was always on her ass about that. However, she didn't know what the Void Heart was making Alizee do... Not that she would have cared since she's dead now. |
Linqian.Han | |
 "She could have learned a thing or two from her brother.." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora never liked Linqian, always thought that she was an impulsive dumbass that caused problems more often than she ever considered solving them. She never took the threat of the Stygian Snake seriously and was a prime example of the popularity contest the Coven was. Adora respected Jinhai, however, but called him a coward for sitting on the sidelines while her sister was on the front lines. Adora would treat Linqian civilly as long as she gets the same energy. She is beyond holding petty grudges from ten years ago. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
 "The kid Lisa yeeted with a spider that time." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Luca appeared during the ass-end of the Coven, and thus he and Adora didn't get a whole lot of interactions together. She would have honestly forgotten about him if he wasn't a friend of Lisa in the short time they spent together before her death. Adora didn't get enough time together to get a read on him, but he seemed cool despite it all. She still laughs about the incident, where the best idea Lisa could have come up with to save him from Scott Reese was to dangle him from a flying spider. She's glad that he's still around. |
Sloane.Faris | |
 "You want to be the leader and yet I had to press you to come and admit that you lost the artifacts...?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora never liked Sloane. While she agreed with the idea that the Coven should be protecting St. Portwell when (or if) they defeated the Stygian Snake... she always found Sloane insufferable. However, Lisa was very fond of Sloane despite all reason, and thus Adora had to play nice with her (though more often than not she would keep her distance from Sloane). However, Lisa died, Adora ghosted the Coven, and Clementine and Vanessa gave their rings to her. Adora tried to get the rings from Sloane, only for Sloane to turn her down. Then they all get stolen anyway. Despite it all, Adora doesn't truly hate Sloane... she barely has the energy to hate someone these days that isn't Emily. She finds her annoying and full of herself, and stupid for hoarding artifacts that she couldn't protect.. |
Tayla.Choi | |
 "Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Tayla. It's a mystery if they had a conversation in the Old Coven. |
"Edict".Devola | |
 "I wonder if he's still the same egotistical snake he always was." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora always thought that Greyson was a snake... a handy snake, but one that should be kept at arm's length. Thus, that's what she did. The two barely had any reason to talk anyhow. She suppressed the memory of him. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
 "..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Jack was a bit name in the Old Coven... She always found him annoying, but Lisa liked him, so she kept it to herself. So, Adora only interacted with him when necessary, but their relationship wasn't anything other than neutral. Now? Jack's abstraction brings back some painful memories of the Stygian Snake, and thus, she keeps him at arm's length for her sanity. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
 "You're a big goof, but I can't say that you were ever a bad person." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora always had mixed feelings on Sully. On the one hand, she always felt like he never took the mission against the Stygian Snake seriously and always wasted everyone's time throwing parties when they should be focusing all their efforts on defeating the Snake. However, there was that appreciation for saving her life the first night she met the Coven, and she knows that deep down, he's a good person. She looks forward to meeting Sully again. |
Leon.Richoux | |
 "So what did happen to your pops?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora trained under the legendary "Gravity" Richoux, and it was how she became such a scrappy gal. Thus, Leon and her knew each other from before she joined the Coven. She thought highly of him, though she had no clue that there was a freaking werewolf inside of him and only got small pieces of The Temple. She knew enough to commit him to memory at the very least. |
Stormy.Carson | |
 "It was my fault Lisa died. And only my fault." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora thought very highly of Stormy in the Old Coven. He was moral. Kind. Dependable. Hunky. And powerful. He was charming, too, and had that rough angle to him... Though, she never got a chance to go any further after she left the Coven. Nonetheless, she hopes to see him again. |
Anya.Baksh | |
 "You don't know me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora didn't interact with Anya in the Old Coven, and for good reason. She was not the kind of person she would interact with, and thus, she made zero attempt to do so. Thus, Anya was one of the many people that Adora forgot. Anya didn't make a good impression with Adora at the second meeting, and it is unlikely to get any better from there. |
Evelynn.Serenelight | |
 "Friend?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora forgot about Lynn for the most part... though she was one of the people that Adora saved during the flying spider incident. |
Lila.Blackwood | |
 "Friend." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Lila as well... despite saving her ass. They barely interacted in the Old Coven anyhow. However, Lila was willing to open bridges to her by catching her up on events she missed in the first meeting and the Coven after she left. Thus, Lila has earned Adora's respect and gratitude... before they all got tear-gassed. |
Jasper.Wilde | |
 "Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora has honestly forgot about Jasper... even though she saved him during the flying spider incident. |
Layla.Hyacinthus | |
 "Only the people who were a problem would have a problem with me being there..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | The child that Alizee had dragged into the Old Coven, and thus Adora gave not only Alizee, but the Coven's leadership, plenty of shit over. Adora only remembers that about Layla... but in the second meeting, Layla was not endearing herself to Adora. |
Luna.Inoue | |
 "Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Luna. It's unknown if they even interacted at all. |
Aislin.Rose | |
 "She's a wide-eyed idealist... I wish I could say that was a good thing." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Aislin and Adora were sort of friends... Aislin was more of a friend of Lisa's; thus, the two became friends by association. Adora always thought that Aislin was too naive and idealistic for not only the Coven but for her good. However, Adora managed to commit her to memory... sort of. |
Kenshiro.Murakin | |
 "Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Kenshiro. |
Ayrin/Aaron.Thorne | |
 "Who" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Aaron/Ayrin. |
Amara.King | |
 "Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora honestly forgot about Amara. |
The.Void.Heart | |
 "Never trusted Apparitions. You're just as bad as the Stygian Snake." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Adora was always untrusting of the Void Heart. There was something off about the bastard... |
