SoS: Semblance of Suburbia

Adielle Bailey “Adi” DiVale

”When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Then find someone who's life is givin' them vodka and have a party!”

–Ron White

.:| Adi | 33 | Married | Bi-sexual | Female |:.

.:| A P P E A R A N C E |:.

Adielle has been, and always will be, a woman of great beauty. Even before she was old enough to grow into her own body, Adielle had always been extremely beautiful. From her golden-blonde hair to the fact that she always had the most amazing eyes that had a deep emerald shade to them. Her skin always flawless, and differing eyebrows that would look very thick one moment, and extremely thin the next. It’s true that she has suffered from pale skin most of her life, but she has owned that. Some would even say that it’s something that makes her even more beautiful.

Adielle DiVale, unlike most women, has a towering figure of 5’10. Still, this doesn’t take away with how she presents herself. Her figure is slim and lean. Everything about it fits so well into those dresses she loves to wear so much. These dresses, much like the amount of money in her bank account, is way above what most would expect. They’re elegant and simple. No elaborate designs on them. Nothing that would make her stand out too much. Most of them are single color. If they aren’t, they are divided down the middle either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Her accessories, shoes - everything - is always matching with them in some way, shape, or form.

.:| P E R S O N A L I T Y |:.

Free-Spirited | Zany | Social Butterfly | Unpredictable

No one -not even her husband - can predict how Adi will act. Sure she’s a lot of fun to be around and she definitely livens up any social event that the DiVale’s would either be attending or hosting, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t without some instability that may or may not make those around her wary of what she might do next. Even her daughter, Vivian, has expressed certain doubts about Adielle’s tendency to go a little wild here and there. To her, even if there isn’t a party, there is always fun to be had.

Now that isn’t to say that Adielle DiVale is without her upsides. All unpredictability aside, Adielle exhibits unwavering devotion and love to her husband, Gabriel, and her daughter, Vivian. They are her world, and no amount of loose screws in her brain will be able to change that. To her, they are her world, even if she does act a little squirrely every other night.

As someone who is very involved in her community, it shouldn’t be completely improbable that Adi is one of the most sociable housewives in Lakewood Summit. Her inviting smile and jovial laugh is trademark when this bubbly, borderline-eccentric blonde wants to get to know someone. Or, on the opposite side of her coin, wants something from someone. Sometimes she might be subtle about it, using some passive-aggressive tactics, or she might jsut flat out say what she wants(whatever that may be). Whichever it is, whomever is on the receiving end of it will know by the end of the conversation what she wants and when she wants it(AKA that very instant).

To those that Adielle doesn’t like - well, let’s just say this blonde milf is someone you don’t want to cross. It isn’t her tactics that will strike the Fear of God into someone, but rather how dangerous she can get. Putting aside the Mafia ties that her husband has, Adielle, when she’s devoting her entire efforts to bring down someone, is vicious. One could say she learned it from her cousin-in-law, Viola Mossos, but then again, she is pretty out there, so maybe it’s the fact that she’s a crazy bitch who does not like being wronged. So, ladies of Lakewood Summit, you might want to be on the lookout for this one. Odds are, if you wronged her, Adielle is coming for you bitches.

.:| H I S T O R Y |:.

The joining of the Hart and DiVale families was definitely something that wasn’t expected especially considering at which age Adielle got pregnant. It happened when she was just sixteen. No one really knows how she and Gabriel met. Elijah definitely didn’t know how they met, but the fact remained that they met, they fucked, and, oh, about a year later, Vivian Annabelle was born. This caused ripples through the Hart family, for sure, specifically Elijah. He pretty much declared Adielle dead to him for the longest time. She was also kicked out when she was eighteen, with a barely-a-year-old Vivian in her arms.

In her years of pretty much raising Vivian on her own, it wasn’t until Vivian was a few years older than when her mother got kicked out that Adielle was contacted by Gabriel. Now only nineteen, she eventually moved in with him. Despite protests from her now renewed relationship with her brother, Eli, Adielle moved in with him. She was still willing to do anything to spite her brother and spite her parents, that she would move in with a guy that she has, on several occasion, heard was a horrible guy. She didn’t care. Adielle was determined to make it work.

And so it did. It didn’t matter to Adielle that he might’ve been a bad guy. He was good to his daughter. He was good for her. Adielle saw a different side of Gabriel. He not only treated Adielle well, but also their daughter. It would soon become evident to Adielle that she made the right choice when she moved in with him because of how the years that would follow played out. They, at some point, moved to Lakewood Summit, bought one of the biggest houses, and started their life as Vivian would grow up as an only child. It was magical and straight out of a fairy tale. Soon, Adielle would know what true happiness was..

Well, until she grew bored, and Gabe was hardly home due to his frequent trips to Italy and Southern Europe. One could say that Adi was growing impatient, often indulging in other men to help pass the time. It became evident that Adielle was a serial cheater, and enjoyed the feeling of being a homewrecker. What a gal, huh?

.:| O C C U P A T I O N |:.

Does being a housewife count? If so, then that’s what Adielle is. Oh and on-and-off homewrecker has also been mentioned on her resume.

But in all seriousness, Adielle had a stint or two in doing porn. Nothing major. She just ran an online website for five or so years. What? She had to pass the time somehow. Besides, it wasn’t like she needed the money - she just enjoyed the attention. Fun fact! She got contacted by a few major studios like Vivid because of her shows. She never took them, of course, but still.

On and off, Adielle has been known to run her own freelancing photography website, which she has been commissioned a time or two by major clients with a lot of money in their bank accounts. Some of her work has even been featured in Lakewood Summit’s numerous galleries.

.:| H O B B I E S |:.

{{ Socializing/Partying/Gossiping}} — Adielle has always been one for the gossip and the party scene. Ever since her teenaged years, she was always a bit of a wild thing and free spirit. Whether it came to talking with her friends or making new ones, Adielle always enjoyed socializing with anyone. She has an undoubtable aura about her that just draws people in. On the flipside of the same coin, she also enjoys gossiping about others. Some would wager that gossiping and talking about someone’s struggles is what Adielle lives for at any social event. Of course, this has never been proven.
{{Drinking Wine(and lots of it)}} — One could say that Adielle has a drinking problem. If she isn’t gossiping about the old man that lives on Willow Lane or how the book club is just another reason for more gossip, then Adielle has a drink in her hands. Usually it’s wine, but she’s not picky. Granted, she loves white wine. But again, she won’t be picky on what kind of wine it is. REd is fine, too.
{{Photography}} — Adielle has always had a passion for photography. It was a passion for her when she was in high school and she kept at it as the years passed. Though she has been married and with child, she has always felt some kind of close connection with whatever she was capturing in her camera. It was like her escape. Whenever things got rough for her, Adielle always was able to find an escape from reality in the form of her photography. There's just something about it that made sense to her. No, something about her that MAKES sense to her.
{{Hot men and women}} — This is easy here. Adielle loves men and women. She loves flirting with them. She loves fucking them. She loves looking at them. She loves the way they feel on her skin. She loves the way that they make her feel. Everything about the male and female anatomy is everything she desires for. Though she has a husband, he’s gone a lot, and she needs to feel like she’s wanted. Sometimes, she’ll seduce someone else’s husband -or wife. Hell, she isn’t above seducing someone’s son or daughter. She has no limits. Well, if they are ugly, then she might not go for them, but still..
{{Romantic television shows}} — As if she doesn’t get enough romance in her life from the men and women, Adielle is a sucker for watching her soaps. Sometimes it’s the ones that are on daytime or even primetime. She doesn’t care. She watches a lot of them. Some are better than others, but that doesn’t mean that they hold any higher position than the others. She’ll always love them and that’s all there is to it.
{{Comic Book-related things}} — Adielle admits that she has a guilty pleasure when it comes to comic books. She blames her brother for getting her into them. There’s always been something about them that she found interesting. She’s a big fan of the movies, the television shows, and even the books themselves. She definitely prefers the single universe stuff as compared to the multiverses that Marvel and DC have made over the years.
{{Exercising}} — For Adielle to keep her body in prime condition, she must do all that she can to make sure she doesn’t get fat. This includes an intense exercise and diet regime put together by Lakewood Summit’s top personal trainer, Clayton Bennett. She personally asked for this regime, and he defintiely delivered. He gave her a strict guideline to adhere to. She did so, but boy was it hard. She had to go on daily runs, do yoga every other day, no red meat or fattening foods. No artificial sweeteners. Nothing that would prove otherwise harmful to her body. Not only that, but her diet was severely limited. Most of her favorite foods have been banned until she got the results she wanted. It’s hard, but Adielle wants the best body she can get, and the advice from Clayton is the best that money can buy.

DiVale Manor | Gabriel’s Aston Martin V12 Vantage Convertible | Adielle’s Ferrari 488 GTB

Gabriel Adriano DiVale – Husband – 52 —Gabriel is Adielle’s husband and her daughter’s father. They have been living in Lakewood Summit for at least ten years now. They have been married for about ten years now. Though it started out as being madly in-love with each other, it’s been suffering due to Gabe’s traveling. His work has him away for most of the year, and Adi - well, she’s a woman of needs. Can’t blame her if she decides to branch for companionship outside her marriage.
Vivian Annabelle DiVale – Daughter/Best Friend – 17 — Adielle’s daughter is the one thing she has done right. Everyone knows this, and because of that, she has grown very protective over her ray of sunshine. Sometimes it might seem that she’s just a bit over-protective over Vivian, but she means well. Viv knows this, too, which is way she doesn’t complain too much about her mother’s ways. At teh end of the day, she knows her mother means well. She knows that not everyone is perfect.
Elijah Damian Nelson – Step-Brother/Step-Son(what is this? Game of Thrones?) – 30 — Elijah is Adielle’s younger brother by marriage. His mother is married to her father, and she is married to his father. It’s a strange relationship that they have when you count in that they used to be more than friendly with each other that step-siblings should have been. It also doesn’t help that their relationship has been strained due to the fact that Adi married his father. That would make her his step-mother, also. It’s very twisted and very Game of Thrones-ish. Elijah likes to not think of it like that. She’s his sister. Despite the obvious strains, he loves her.

The 30-Day Song Challenge

Day X - A song that makes you cry

Mad World by Gary Jules

This song holds a personal connection to me. I seem to always listen to it whenever I’m feeling down in the dumps, and it always makes me cry because of that. That aside, it’s a beautiful song that has this wonderful somber feeling to it. You don’t have to be in a depressed state-of-mind to cry from it because of that reason. The way Gary’s vocals are simple and sorrowful to how the simple piano and how in the video he looks down at everyone, alone, further cements that it’s one of those songs that anyone would cry after hearing(assuming they make an emotional connection with it).

---

Day XI - A song that reminds you of summer

Auron’s Theme from Final Fantasy X by Nobuo Uematsu

This one was a bit hard because there are several songs that speak to me about “summer time”. Honestly, it just came down to what first comes to mind when I think of “summer”. This was it.

It might seem a little odd, but the fact of the matter is that I spent many hours grinding through the lands of SPira while this song played on repeat hours on end. I just love how badass it sounds, and how it can spark as much fun in the summertime than the actual song “In the Summertime” can. There’s just no other way to explain it, honestly.

---

Day XII - A song that reminds you of your best friend

Bring Me to Life by Evanescence

This is quite simple: my best friend’s favorite band is Evanescence. He has a real hard-on for Amy Lee and her haunting voice. I recall him singing Bring Me to Life so many times that I joined in on him. He’s one of those people that really dug the Nu-Metal scene of the early 2000s. It was between this song and one of the songs from Skillet, like Hero, but I felt this was more appropriate because of how well I know him.

---

Day XIII - A song you sing to in the shower

Machinehead by Bush

Oh man, you have no idea how far back this song brings me. Machinehead was by far one of the best songs I listened to in those cringe days of adolescent years. My uncle gave me a cassette tape of Sixteen Stone, and I loved almost every track on that tape. I would sing it so much, I was told to shut the hell up just because of how out of tune I was. But I didn’t care. This song was my shit.

And this is no different for being in the shower. I would sing this song hella loud. Oh yes, my parents knew exactly that I was a machinehead. xD
