Name
Adonna Borromeo
Gender
Female
Age
22, January 17th, 1997
Sexuality
Bisexual
Nationality
Italian-American.
Appearance
Tall, with lean muscles and skin that tans when it gets too much sun, or pales when there's lack thereof. Perpetual frown has now become her resting face, regardless if the woman's actually pissed. And she usually isn't, just confused or overthinking. Her hair, usually kept loose, is black though strands of it look deep brown when under the sun, and her dark-brown eyes often are mistaken for black.
She is seen wearing somewhat upscale-casual clothes, usually pieces borrowed from her cousin's lover. These pieces are more often than not monochromatic, i.e. a solid black tank-top with solid white capris, or vice-versa. It's uncommon to see her wearing color or shades of grey.
In the World of Fog, she'd likely opt for clothing that included maximum coverage and pockets. Perhaps a turtle-neck accompanied by a many-pocketed vest, cargo pants with steel-toed boots and thin, leather gloves.
Height
6'1"
Personality
Once quick to act and, more accurately, react, Adonna is now crippled by the idea of the right way to act, and the consequences her actions might cause, rendering her prone to inaction or slow reaction. Hers was, and still is, a black and white outlook, and when that was challenged, when shades of grey were thrust upon her, at first she reacted violently, becoming a volatile mess. But that sort of energy burns up fast, and it left her with few remaining in her corner. While she still believes in not tolerating injustice, and that justice should be pursued steadfast and straightforward, she's no longer sure what actions are right or even how to pursue it and remain just herself.
Adonna's shadow self is fully moon-white, outlines and details in black. She sits atop an elevated platform, motionless and mute, peering down upon those that circle around her: friends, family, all those she's known and have impacted her life, moving in several many circles around the center, predictable and paced. Those who are good are in circles closer to her, and they are full white like herself, inaudibly laughing and full of smiles. Those who are bad are in circles farther from her, and are unlit as though in pure night, shone only by the white outlines that make up their person. Outlines which show their frowns and silently howling mouths.
Persona
Wendigo
It is said that the Wendigo was once a man who, having eaten the flesh of his own kind, became hungry for more and wouldn't stop hunting for just another taste until he became as monstrous in form as his desires.
There's another tale. One far less told. About a man of the law who grew tried of the maze of lies he had to navigate just to live. One day he saw himself in the mirror, and grew mad. For what he saw did not match the twisted man he was within. No longer could he deal in convulded punishments or tricky payments. He decided that, instead, from who'd done wrong he'd rip from them a pound of flesh.
The Wendigo appears as it does above, save for its shadowy muzzle can be seen in profile view, within which it has unnaturally white teeth. It moves slow, has no long-range attacks, and will only attack with its massive maw, attempting to rip away whatever it sinks its teeth into.

Biography
There was good and there and bad, and they were two seperate things in Adonna's eyes. But when her mother got back with her father, she couldn't reconcile the world in front of her with the world she believed in. So she fought for her vision to be true. Literally. And this winded her in a string of trouble and several run-ins with the law. The consequences would have been greater had her father not stepped in, which furthered the confusion Adonna felt. Some people may have adapted, but she refused to budge from her beliefs, stubborn as ever.
Ironically, this landed her in with a poor moral crowd, and combined with her actions, threatened to get her into truly deep trouble. It was around this time that she expressed her desire for change, a do-over, to her cousin. Though much older, he knew first hand the volatility of their family and because he himself saw in her what he could have become had he not had help, he offered her a lifeline: Come live with him in London, get a fresh start, and he'd even get the ball rolling to get her enrolled at Thames' Edge University.
