What's on the Outside
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 117 lbs
Tattoos: None
Piercings: Ears are pierced only so that she āfits inā with other noble ladies.
Scars: Any scars she does have are easily hidden or small enough not to be seen. The last thing she wants is a lecture on safety and being a female.
Description: Adelaide might be a lot shorter than her male counterparts in the family at only five foot three inches tall, but sheās never let something as trivial as her stature get in her way. She learned quite early that one doesnāt need height be to noticed or taken seriously. Her piercing blue eyes only add to this effect when coupled with her dark locks. Sheās almost a perfect blend of both her mother and her father. She usually wears her hair down letting the curls of her mane do as they please. Other times she wears it up especially if out riding or some other physical activity usually involving some sort of braids. Adding to her already short frame, her weight makes her seem dainty and frail even though sheās far from it. Sometimes just the appearance of being weak allows for her to prove others wrong or keep herself safe by playing to multiple sides. The only thing she refuses to do is use her good looks for anything in manipulating people; it would be a shame to her mother to do so.

What's on the Inside
Personality:
{Determined, Loving, Reserved, Thoughtful}
Addy is quiet, reserved, almost peaceful most of the time. To the outward appearance especially outsiders from her family she is the perfect lady. She would make anyone a proud husband. Truthfully, she would be a nightmare. She only listens to her father because itās expected of her and she knows better than to cross him. She thinks for herself. She is determined to be more than a mindless tool used to further alliances and strengthen positions. Sometimes, many times, she feels like she is the most responsible one out of all her siblings. She loves her older brother dearly, but sometimes he scares her. They are pretty close, but she keeps her distance when he starts acting out or when theyāre without their father in the presence of their new step mother.
Adelaide likes to believe she is much stronger than she really is and over pushes her bounds not only when it comes to physical strength, but what she can mentally handle. When in reality all she wants is the comforts of a family she always wanted. What she had in her mother now gone and what she desired in a father she never received. It makes her scared to wish for a future with all her hopes and dreams knowing that they are more than likely never going to happen. Despite it all, she is a very caring and loving person who wouldnāt hesitate to do anything for the ones she loves.
Hobbies: Archery of which she is quite good at not so much with sword play. Gardening, because well there isnāt much else more beautiful than putting in hard work and effort and seeing it pay off as life grows. Cooking simply because learning not to kill someone with what theyāre eating is a much needed skill whether itās ever used or not.
Habits: Must sleep with all blinds, windows, and doors shut otherwise she canāt sleep at all. Tends to run to her bastard brother more than Ronan or her father when she has a problem.
Oddities: Almost always hates to wear the fancy dresses and look like a lady. If she has to wear a dress she prefers it to be simpler in nature. She also hates thunder storms and acts like a small child forgetting she is an adult and has to act like one.

Biography
Place Of Origin: Ostwall
History: Adelaide is the second born and first girl of the three siblings with four years between her brother and herself. He was old enough to understand what another child meant instead of just hanging around. But growing up it would sometimes make things a challenge. When did older siblings especially brothers want to play with their younger female siblings? It was a sore spot when all Addy wanted to do was play and hang out with Ronan and he thought it was uncool and not good for a boy the older they got. At least until she showed she wasnāt like all the other girls. She could take the fall or the hit and would to prove she was good enough. It earned her respect and started her off down the path towards where she wanted to be.
But things werenāt always so great. She longed for a connection to more than just her mother and trying to replace it with her brother wasnāt enough. In time she grew to resent her father for his distance. She wanted nothing to do with him and barely played the part of loving daughter in public. Though she had and has her moments with him she still just wishes that heād been around more growing up. With a younger sister to watch over she felt like she was being burdened into a mothering role she didnāt want. Being married off to a noble lord wasnāt the future she wanted. She wanted to pick her husband not be auctioned off. Itās the one thing she fears the most of her father doing to her now that sheās of marrying age.
With the current events of the land rising around them, Adelaide is worried something bad is going to happen. Having already lost her mother, sheās afraid to lose any more of her family. There isnāt anything she wouldnāt do to protect them all. And itās not just the things outside of Ostwall that have her losing sleep at night. She knows something is going on within her own household, she just doesnāt know what yet. What she does know is that she doesnāt much like the new wife, not only for being younger than herself, but the way she swears the woman looks at her brother. It gives her the creeps and hopes her brother is better than that. Only she knows with his temper anything is possible. Though Addy is smart enough to know that Ostwall needs a good leader if theyāre going to survive the upcoming turmoil thatās affecting Falor and Seabel, but sheās not too sure that leader is her father or her brother. She wants her family to survive intact and isnāt quite sure how to do it.
Happiest Memory: Her father buying her one of the only gifts he ever gave. A horse she named Geysir.
Saddest Memory: When her mother died. Still isnāt over it. Itās an extremely touchy subject and cause spells of depression and withdrawing from the world.
