Age: 22
Birthday: 6 December 1987
Appearance: Ada reaches the towering height of 5 feet and 5 inches even. She's not too worried about it. It's pretty average. She thinks...
Her average build doesn't make her very noticeable either. Ada used to be very skinny, and it's a tough balance keeping a normal weight, but she manages. While she likes to dress up for going out, you'll usually see her sporting a pair of boots, tight black jeans and a button down shirt or a crop top. It depends on the weather, really. Sometimes she has the crop top under the shirt. What a rebel. You'll rarely see her in a dress, unless she's going to a wedding. Or some other social engagement that requires formal attire. On stage it's often crop tops because they allow for movement. Sometimes she just wears a sports bra, if she feels extra confident and the sun is high in the sky. Her brunette hair is very thick and one of her great adversaries in the morning. It can be difficult to rule. Ada usually has it hanging lose and to one side. Oh, and she has a side-cut. Mom wasn't fond of that. Mom wasn't fond of.. Oh, yeah let's save that for later. Sorry mom! The only time you see her without make-up is really early in the morning, and when she wakes up too late from being out all night. Usually she has enough time to either put on make-up or fix what's on her face from the day before. Her left eyebrow is split in two places, from scars from when she was little and she fucking hates it. She always stands straight, chest pushed a little forward and her face looking up at you. There are three smiles you'll see on her face, and if you know her well enough, you'll know what they mean. There's the mischievous smile, which is crooked and tugs at the corner of her mouth - and apparently pushes her left eyebrow up as well. The second smile is bright and wide, revealing white teeth. This is what you see when she's truly having fun. It's lovely. The third one is the flirting smile. She uses it for other purposes than flirting though. She'll look straight at you, revealing her teeth - though not as much as the second smile - and sometimes bite her lip a little. This is when she's flirting or she wants you to do something for her.
Role: iCakez' main. Surprisingly tight drummer of Psychosis.
Musical Style: "What? I'm a chick. I'm allowed to do lot of pussy blasts! Wait... That came out wrong."
Ada has always been that kind of drummer who focused on being super tight. Many a bassist has been very grateful for that particular skill. She can play fast, and be extremely tight at the same time, but you can clearly hear how she's a hard rock drummer, deep down. Ada isn't very diverse either. She can't (and won't) play jazz, for example. She likes groovy beats too, but rarely gets to use them. If she tries to play rock and roll it always tends to get too violent. Her fills are usually quite simple sounding and not ultra fast, but technically demanding. They usually take her quite some time to get down, through practice. She's a fan of pussy blasts too. "Yes, that's what they're called."
Ada is always very focused on the bass and the general tone of the song. She loves playing powerful and contributes to it wherever she can. Her influences are many. So many. Lars Ulrich (because Metallica), Joey Jordison, Jimmy Sullivan, Mike Portnoy, Dave Lombardo, Chris Adler, Pete Sandoval etc.... It goes on. She loves to take drummers in and frankenstein them and then spit out whatever she has absorbed. Oh, and Ada can't play any other instrument to save her life.
Instruments: Her go to kit is a Tama Starclassic. And Ada has recently discovered the more recent series of Sabian cymbals. So that cost her a fortune! She still keeps her K-Customs because she fucking loves those. Naturally, she uses to kicks, and several toms as befits a drummer of Psychosis.
Personality: Oh. Well.. Where do we start? Uh.... Drunk! Well, not alcoholic. Per say. Ada drinks a bit. More than she should.
Okay, Ada is the type of person who you can't help loving. It's so difficult to stay mad at her, even though she is often late and often a little bit intoxicated. And she doesn't give a shit about very many things. She's 22 for fucks sake! She doesn't give a shit about very many things, and always wants to party. So i essence, she is just like any other 22 year old, with daddy issues and a drinking problem - but you just can't stay mad at her. Scold her when she's late and she'll smile and hug you and all of a sudden, it's forgotten. Unless directly insulted, she won't start shit. In fact, she's always just looking to have a good time. Which usually involved alcohol. Surprise. Ada will also try to flirt with everyone. Men. Women. She doesn't care. She likes teasing too. Sometimes it can be hard to discern whether she's teasing and flirting, or just teasing. She does all this and at the same time manages to avoid revealing very much about herself, though it's clear she's sort of broken. It's just, when you talk with her and look at her, something about her distracts you from that and you forget. But that all sounds glum and sad, but she's not! She's always a party and up to no good. It is quite clear, though, that she has a constant need to be the best at what she does. Other stuff, she doesn't give a shit about. But the idea that someone else could come along and take her place, terrifies her. So Ada is always serious when they're in the studio and tries to do her best, but loves teasing and bantering and fooling around during rehearsals and jamming.
Ada has a slight accent. She speaks French, and they spoke both English and French in her home. Therefore she does have a slight accent, though more French than Canadian.
Biography:
"In the frozen North!" is how she sometimes replies when people ask her where she is from. It just sounds more.. Game of Thrones-like. Canada. She's from Canada. Ada was born in December, an early Christmas present for her parents. Her mother was French and her father native Canadian. They spoke both languages in the house, but Ada was always fond of French. Her childhood was not unlike many other children's. School was okay, she didn't dislike it, nor did she like it. It was just part of life, and she's always understood how it's necessary to receive some kind of education. Things started to take a turn for the worse, though. Her father lost his job, and couldn't seem to find another. So instead of trying, he gave up and started drinking. He was never cruel to her or her mother, but he just stopped caring about them and neglected both of them. Needless to say, this does more damage to an adolescent than it does to an adult. So when she was fifteen and boys and alcohol became more interesting, she gravitated toward these things. She had started playing the drums when she was thirteen, and the people she began hanging out with introduced her to rock and metal music. This new inspiration found its way into her drumming, and she quickly fell into the hard rock scene. Ada has loved it ever since. Her father's situation did not improve however, and it continued to destroy her. But she didn't react the way you'd think. She was just rarely home except for drumming lessons and later singing lessons. Yeah, she can sing too. Actually, she went through a brief stint as a singer for a pop/rock band.
Things went from bad to worse, and she's been picked up by her parents from the police station more than once. But with a father who's main skill in life is to neglect his family and a mother who's too weak to do anything, that didn't have a very strong impact on her. Ada just chewed her gum, and raised an eyebrow before getting in the back of the car.
She wasn't worried, though. She had her eyes set on greater things. She chose to let hate weigh more than love with her parents, and quit school as soon as she could and head south. Ada couldn't count all the times she's slept rough or flirted her way to a bed for the night, only to be gone the next morning. She did this while taking the role as singer in a few bands, not for very long, but later mostly as a drummer. This paid enough for her to support her on her travels. Most recently, she's joined Psychosis and been there for quite a while (compared to her standards).
What, did you think this was a wonderful fairy tale? It's nothing anyone hasn't gone through before, right? But Ada manages. Well, she copes. She drinks to not be alone and sober when she is. She blames her father for the way she feels like half a person. "Fuck it, drinking's more fun, right?"
As evident, she is not the type of person who'll tell you her life story. Actually, she'll change the subject very quickly. "Same old, same old."
