Adrienne's powers are rather complicated in that she is a magical being, like her father before her. Her abilities are wide in range, and limited to her own level of control and the atmosphere around her, rather than a single spectrum or area that she can dabble in. She draws her power from three primary sources: the invocation of powerful mystic entities or objects, the manipulation of the universe's ambient magical energy, and her own psychic resources; the latter of which she has proved to be quite naturally gifted in. Adrienne's magical repertoire includes energy projection and manipulation, matter transformation, animation of inanimate objects, teleportation, illusion-casting, mesmerism, thought projection, astral projection, dimensional travel, time travel and mental possession, to name but a few. This being said, certain areas are considerably more difficult, and require far more energy. The time travel aspect of her powers is something she has yet to develop, and save for a brief, accidental stint five minutes into the past when she was thirteen, she has yet to use it. This small brush with chronokinesis left Adrienne bedridden for several days with a brutal headache, proving that this particular area of her powers was something her body was not yet prepared for.
Like her father, she is also extremely intelligent, and one of the cleverest students in the school, alongside the likes of the genius psychopath, Junior, and troublesome puzzle maker, Enzo. She is particularly learned in medical studies, biology, and psychology, similar to her surgeon parent.
... it will rise in perfect light...

Adrienne is by no means a complicated person. She does not burden herself or others with hidden motives or veiled truths. She is as straightforward as they come, the sort to state things simply; to not adorn fact with ribbon and tassels for the sake of a more poetic flourish. She likes to face things head on, and prefers to just get to the point rather than waste her time listening to the sympathetic drivel of others attempting to make news more pleasant or soften the blow. She is brutally honest at times, and although her bluntness is by no means intentionally offensive, it is not rare for her to accidentally provoke another through her lack of prudence. Diplomacy is simply not her forte, due to a combined lack of interest and vacancy of understanding.
This being said, she is not apathetic, and she can prove to be rather solicitous when the opportunity arises, at least when it comes to comforting those that she cares for. Her candid nature could easily help to paint her as a picture of forthright sophistication, sleek in her frankness. In reality, her lack of tact is further ingrained by her awkwardness, and her tendency to get in way over head, inspired by faith in her own ability. Her social skills are by no means the pièce de résistance of her personality, and although she'd never admit it, she has embarrassed herself a fair few times thanks to the explosive result caused by a concoction of her tactlessness and her short temper. She is rather prideful, and doesn't care for being doubted or insulted, and tends to see such things as challenges for her to overcome. Whether it be a random trait lodged in her personality, or something passed down from her father, she is a constant state of having something to prove. Weakness is something she doesn't relate herself to, and her pride keeps her from noting its presence when said presence occurs.
Remarkably intelligent, Adrienne's lack of social ineptitude seems to be more than made up for in terms of her vast academic intellect. She enjoys learning, and her curiosity is buoyed by her desire to always improve herself, particularly in terms of her mental capacity. One of her most admirable qualities is her quick wit, which can both entice laughter and wound egos depending on how she uses it. She is prone to sarcasm, and is very fast when it comes to thinking on her feet.
Adrienne highly values friendship, and is fiercely loyal, and as a result, is extremely protective. Be it empty threats or actual danger directed towards those she cares about, Adrienne will not take it well, and all of her supposed cool calmness will go straight out the window. Despite her seeming lack of an affable personality, Adrienne is not without humor and affection. Her wry jokes are one thing, but her consideration for others is perennial.
Even if she isn't quite the best at showing it.
... for I have loved the stars too fondly...

despite seeming like a rather icy individual at times, there are a great number of small, everyday occurrences that entice a feeling of pleasure in the young sorceress. She prefers winter and autumn over the other two seasons, due to her firm stance as a pluviophile, finding comfort in rainy weather, with thunder also being an aspect of the cooler weather that she enjoys. She is an avid reader, and literature, particularly the more classical works, are something she invests a considerable amount of her spare time with. She is fascinated by psychology, and even prefers this area of science to her father's preferred area of biology. She can often be seen solving the puzzles and riddles located in the daily newspaper in remarkably short amounts of time, before keeping herself up-to-date with the world's most recent, notable events. She loves m&m's above all other junkfoods, and could easily scoff several packets of them whilst binge-watching her favourite television shows, which include Sherlock, Hannibal, Luthor, and Game of Thrones. She has an odd penchant for stargazing, and finds solace in simply lying, looking up at them, admiring the glittery abyss and naming constellations. She enjoys intelligent conversation, be it the likes of an intense debate or a simple case of witty banter. She enjoys the company of those whom can keep up, and finds those with sharper minds among the more engaging of companions. That being said, she adores laughing, and the feeling of elevation that comes with humor. Which is why she appreciates anyone with a good sense of humor.
being as opinionated as she is, it should come as shock to no one that there are a great many things that compile Adrienne's list of dislikes. However, to save time and effort, I shall name but a few. Like most right-minded people, she feels an intense loathing towards racism, sexism, and hypocrisy, and well as bullies. She is very dedicated to keeping things fair, and thus cheats are something she cannot stand, be they cheating in a test or on a romantic partner. Any attacks on her pride, such as insults or embarrassing situations are something she is strongly opposed to, and she tends to take the former as a challenge. She isn't very fond of hot weather, and is godawful at swimming. She doesn't like losing or being wong, although when either happens she isn't the sort to descend into the loathsome pits of bad sportsmanship. She is also slightly nervous with heights.
... to be fearful of the night.

Adrienne was born of a brief affair that blossomed into what both parties assumed would be a long relationship. Naturally, they assumed wrong. Adrienne's father, Dr Vincent Strange, flirted profusely with her mother, Gloria Glover, when he first met her at a New Year's party hosted by a fellow surgeon. He a man of natural charm and hypnotic charisma, and she a woman of sharp wit and smooth elegance, it was not long before the pair were on dating terms. Eight months later, it was discovered that Gloria was pregnant, and Vincent proposed that they keep the child, and move in together. Gloria agreed, entranced by a somewhat toxic combination of the doctor's personality... and his exceptionally large paychecks. However, Vincent instead chose to keep his magical abilities a secret, for fear of driving her away too soon. Their child was born, and the first couple of years were bliss. Vincent was no fool, and deep down, a part of him knew that Gloria cared more for his material possessions than his personality, but love blinded him, and on Adrienne's second birthday, he proposed marriage. Gloria accepted, and they were engaged for three months.
It was then that Adrienne began showing her genetically inherited magical abilities for the first time, and Vincent was forced to finally come clean about his secret. Gloria decided then and there that she was better off without either of them. She walked out a week later, and in the two years following, Vincent would learn that she'd moved to Chicago, and was engaged to an sixty-something oil tycoon.
She'd always known how to pick 'em, Gloria did.
Meanwhile, Vincent taught Adrienne the art of magic, helping her to hone her natural abilities. If Adrienne were quite honest, he always felt more like a harsh mentor than a loving father. He kept his flirtatious ways, and Adrienne's childhood was bombarded with wannabee 'mother figures', most of which lasted a couple of months at most before being replaced. It was a rather dull pattern, as far as Adrienne was concerned, but she paid it little heed. This resulted in a rather estranged relationship between she and Vincent, although she could not lie and say that his teaching weren't necessary. Especially considering her high school days of expulsions due to accidental commitments of arson, thanks to emotional flares and powers not yet under complete control.
She's grown up since then, and she and her father are still rather estranged. She rarely sees him, and she's fine with that.
She's got bigger things to worry about.
