[b][color=e542f4]Personality:[/color][/b] Adalene's a natural born leader, always quick to try to take the reins of a situation. She's very sure of herself, and because of this, she has trouble listening to others in the heat of the moment. She also tries to always be prepared for her day, going out of her way to make day to day planners, and sticks to them the best she can. Thusly, she doesn't do well with unforeseen circumstances, and will normally try to put them off when they arrive so she can make time to plan for them.
[b][color=e542f4]Habits:[/color][/b] She chews on the ends of her pens when she's thinking. She makes a planner for the next day every night before going to bed. She lets her hair down and plays with it when stressed.
[b][color=e542f4]Hobbies:[/color][/b] She's a member of her college's Theatrical Arts club, where she sings, dances, and acts. She also enjoys reading, mostly high fantasy, and makes it a point to knock out a chapter of whatever book she has before going to bed every night. Adalene also makes time out of her week to go to the gym and keep her body in shape.

[b][color=e542f4]Biography:[/color][/b] 
	Adalene's an navy brat, her father being a marine, and her mom a French immigrant. She moved around a lot as a child, never staying in the same city for more than a few years, making it so her family was the only constant in her life. Her dad also had high expectations for her behavior, wanting her to always show respect for her elders, dress properly, and speak tactfully.

	It was also important to her parents that she learn how to properly defend herself, and made sure to keep her enrolled in martial arts programs wherever they moved. She proved herself to be fairly adept at this, and by the time she graduated had a black belt in Krav Maga, and received the same in Jiu-Jitsu shortly after turning twenty. This worked out to be a great way not only to give Adalene tools to defend herself, but also helped instill discipline into her.

	As a child, Adalene also found enjoyment in the Theatrical Arts, everything from acting to dance. She wasn't a prodigy by any means, but she worked hard, and was good enough to get her lead roles in many school productions. Her abilities and skills grew, committing to this not only as the recreation it started out as, but  
as something she wanted to become truly great at. She set goals for herself, and made sure to always push herself to become better and better, applying a lot of the soft skills she'd gained from martial arts to advance.

	Her family had settled when she turned 15, letting her finish off most of her high school experience in one place. Adalene had made up her mind to try to pursue acting as a career around this time, which left her parents feeling a bit uneasy. Her father in particular, wasn't too pleased when he heard her college plans, running off to New York to study Acting and taking what he saw, rightfully, as a major risk. This was a big point of contention between her father and herself throughout most of her junior year, but in the end, they reached a deal, deciding that if she could do well in school, and get some kind of way into the industry by the summer of her second year, they'd keep helping her pay for her education.

Adalene managed this, making sure to tightly integrate herself into her college's community, not only with the students, but more importantly, with the teachers. Through the right kind of networking, she got a summer job as an extra on an off-broadway show, granting her the kind of in she needed to make sure she could keep going to school. She worked and did well over the summer, but towards the end, she grew very sick, for the first time in her life. She ended up being hospitalized. Lucky for her, her father was more worried than anything, and hadn't constituted what had happened as her breaking their arrangement.
