[b][color=e542f4]Personality:[/color][/b] Adalene's a natural born leader, always quick to try to take the reins of a situation.

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.

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.

[b][color=e542f4]Discovery Of Your Power:[/color][/b] Fire consumes, and unfortunately for Adalene, it does so very well. One weekend, she volunteered to cat-sit for her friend. Nothing major, just pop in every night to feed the creature and make sure it was doing alright. One night, after keying in, Adalene couldn't immediately find the cat, and set off to look for it in the apartment. While searching, she was startled by a loud banging in the kitchen, unknowingly caused by the cat knocking over some pots and pans. Not knowing what was happening, Adalene snapped into action, ready for anybody that could be in the apartment with her, and soon found her hands catching fire, and spreading up her clothes and body. She flew into a panic, and fell to the ground, having no idea what was happening. The fire spread from her body, to the rest of the room, and soon enough, the entire place was ablaze. She noticed, however, that as on fire as she was, she wasn't in any pain, or even hot. She started to calm herself, realizng that her clothes weren't even on burning. The same could not be said for the building around her though, and she rose to her feet, knowing she'd have to get out or risk being crushed to death. She made it out, leaving the cat sadly behind, not knowing if she'd have time to save it. Once she calmed herself down outside, she found the flames dissipating from her skin, and ran off to call 911, notify the police, and figure out what the heck was going on. Since, she hasn't told anybody what's happened to her.

[b][color=e542f4]Ability & Powers:[/color][/b] Fire Manipulation: She will be able to create and form fire from her hands.

[b][color=e542f4]Ability & Powers Weaknesses:[/color][/b] Weaknesses & Limitations: She can be overpowered by water, ice and/or extreme cold.
