Adelaide stands at around five feet tall, weighing about ninety or so pounds. She has a very thin bone frame, pale white skin covering her slender arms, legs and everywhere else visible, no matter how much sun showers upon it. Light blonde hair falls in wavy curls over her shoulders and down her back, just under her chest; neatly cut straight bangs sweep across her forehead and just over her right eyebrow before curling in with the rest of her tangle of hair. She dyes her hair often, and her dream form is always changing.
Her lips are usually a deep shape of crimson, depending on the type of mood she's in. Rarely will you ever see them any lighter. Around her eyes she usually wears black eye liner; at each corner of her eyes, the dark skin comes together in a point, much like a wolf's eyes. Though it's not always this way. She loves to experiment with make-up. Her eyes range from shades of grays and blues, rarely, but sometimes even a light green.personality
She, unfortunately, has yet to develop her ‘thinking side’ and so, does not give much consideration to rational thought processing. She tends to place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on other things, such as work. She also avoids looking at long-term consequences of her actions, which often gets her into trouble. She’s far from a logical thinker, and strives mainly on emotions. Most everything she does is based on her own emotions, and the emotions of others, therefore she doesn’t look for the logic in things. Planning is not in her vocabulary. She’s very spontaneous and enjoys it.
When it comes to males… Adelaide can hardly contain herself. Her flirtatious side is wild and hard to control, but who says she wants to control it? She’s very unpredictable and doesn’t cease to surprise you. She doesn’t really have one certain type of guy in mind, for she always considers everyone, though she often does find herself getting stuck with the jerks. The guys who are more on the daring, risk-taking side. The ones who seem to always be getting in some sort of trouble. She has yet to learn of their horrid ways… Maybe you’ll be the one to change that?
She has many thoughts. They travel through her brain non-stop, and you’ll often find her gazing off, day dreaming or consumed in her own thoughts. Out of nowhere she may blurt out something that has nothing to do with the conversation others may have been having while she blanked out. It’s easy for her to tune out people, though she doesn’t do so on purpose. Interrupting is another bad habit she has, though most of the time she really doesn’t mean it, for she was merely thinking and tuning out the words of the other person, and decided to speak on impulse before she lost the thought.
She views her entire world as a stage. She loves to be center of attention; by playfully making others happy. Her joyful smile and warm, friendly personality can light up a room full of people; they seem to be contagious, brightening even the most depressed person‘s day. She would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party. She has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun; for she contains the special ability to get fun out of life, but needs to, yet often does not, watch out for the downside that comes along with living entirely in the moment. She gives everyone and everything a chance, never hesitating to try something new.
When she has her mind set to something, she can usually accomplish it, for her determined side tends to kick in at these times. Though, this is usually quite rare for her. Her personality, in this section, usually tends to be very scattered. Her memory happens to get lost with all of her thoughts, and she sometimes gets reality mixed with imagination. One could say she had attention deficit hyper-activity disorder, and she often believes it herself, though she treats it as a gift rather than something to try and help or get rid of. She puts this ‘talent’ to use, by learning how to control these things, putting all of her focus onto things she really enjoys. Though, of course, like just about every good thing in life, there are downfalls to this. For example, she loses focus easily, gets distracted and is very forgetful.
She’s very easily amused, by the simplest of things. One little thing could entertain her for hours on end. Sometimes she thinks things are overly funny, and evens laughs at her own laughter, causing her to forget what even made her laugh in the first place. This often entertains others bringing a smile to their own face, and sometimes causing them to join in on the laughter. Though she is easily amused, she has a flaw that contradicts this… she can also become easily bored with the same thing that had been amusing her in the first place. Her home, (where ever that happens to be at the time) like her mind, is very cluttered. This goes along with her personality very well.
You can choose if this is an advantage or a flaw… She tends to take in every detail, not only is she observant of people, places and things, but she also catches every word and sound that she hears. Her senses are very enhanced, for she studies just about everything, smells, sounds, the feel and texture of something, and the way people and animals look and behave. She loves to sit high in the tree tops and just watch people. Yes, she is a voyeur… She will admit that, and even though she does tell people that, she still never gets caught in the act of doing so. Of course, this is only to fulfill her curiosity, she would never actually harm the person. If anything, she would want to drop down in front of them and introduce herself, hoping to make a new friend.
Sleep is one thing she really dislikes to do. She feels it takes up too much time; time that could be used doing something fun. You’ll rarely see her sleeping, though, she does like to lay in the sun, or somewhere high, such as a tree, balcony or the top of a hill, just thinking… Still, she rarely does that, she’s always moving. She’s up with the sun, and the moon, yet she still remains active. She likes to look at everything as a game, and she enjoys challenging herself. She’s almost always playful, never taking things seriously, and just enjoying her time in this world, living life to the fullest and on the edge, mind you.
If someone dares her to do something, she will go to great lengths to achieve what is needed to prove that she can do whatever it is she was dared. She receives a great feeling of satisfaction and a rush of adrenaline when taking a risk, and you’ll often find her getting stuck in sticky situations or causing some sort of trouble. She seems fearless to others looking in, and her happy go lucky attitude only seems to confirm that their assumptions are correct. Though everyone has fears. Her main one is her fear of not having enough time in the world to succeed in everything she wants to do. There is just so much to see, so much to do… she just can’t seem to get her thoughts around the idea of having the time to complete everything.
Traveling is one of her favorite things, she’s always on the move, visiting new places. She absolutely loves change, and anything that’s new or different to her, even if it’s old or cliché to someone else. An overwhelming sensation of excitement flows through her body with each step she takes toward a new land. She begins to feel uneasy when something stays the same for too long, and that’s when she starts to get bored of it, after the incredible delight is worn off. Though, she will come back, eventually, if she really likes the place, and the joy will return. At the moment she actually has her own home, instead of setting up camp everywhere she goes… Though you’ll rarely find her there. Staying at home really bores her, and so she’s almost always out, usually somewhere around lots of nature where she feels free and not caged in between walls.
One strange thing about her, is her odd need to fidget, though she’s never shy, nor nervous or worried. You’ll often find her biting her lip, running her fingers through her hair, pulling at a lose string on her clothes, or any other rapid, nervous movement. Only ones close to her can tell you what each of these mean. She, however, could tell you what almost anyone’s body language or facial expression is saying, even when they’re trying desperately to hide it. Since she is so in tune to her own emotions, she can usually detect others, even before most know that anything is wrong with the person. Once she detects this, she feels the need to try and help them in some way. Which, for her, is quite easy. Her smile alone can easily cheer a person up. With her upbeat and optimistic attitude, she can pass on her feelings to others, almost like some sort of talent or ability.
She’s a very artistic, creative, and original person. Not caring what other people think of her really helps shape her to who and what she has become. Confidence takes a person very far, why do you think she’s such a fun, friendly and happy person? She’s not letting herself worry about what other people think, she’s just allowing herself to be happy the way she is. She loves to write, about anything and just about everything, often getting herself carried away and lost in her words. Drawing and painting is another thing she enjoys very much. She can sit for hours on one work of art, putting all her time and effort into it to make it a true master piece. I know this may contradict some of the others things you'll find in her personality, but painting, as well as observing people, are some of the very few things she can actually sit still for; well kind of still, she may still fidget every once in a while... But yes, if it's something she really loves she will put her heart into it and she does not consider these things wasting time, for this reason.
Dancing is something she almost always catches herself trying to say is her favorite thing to do. Though it’s not at the top of the list, but somewhere near it, of course. She enjoys the music flowing through her body, even when none is playing, for she believes that music is everywhere. Even if someone denies hearing it, she knows it’s there… she can always hear it. Her body seems to move naturally with each beat, following the rhythm with expert skills. She often finds herself closing her eyes while dancing, and letting herself go completely. The sensation she feels while dancing is much too wonderful and complicated for her to even try and explain.
It’s rare for Adelaide to dislike anything, but there is one thing that she despises… And it’s anything that gets in her way of having fun or achieving a goal. The main thing that does this, are rules and the law. Rules are meant for breaking, and that’s what she lives by. Whether it’s purposefully, or accidentally broken, as long as she’s having fun, then she’s happy. She relishes excitement and drama in her life, and often causes it herself. Though, she dislikes conflict and hates when others are mad at each other. This is where she finds herself coming in to break up the fight as a peace maker. Her love for animals is amazing, and almost unbelievable. She treats them as if they were her children, or part of her family, for that’s what she sees them as and she disagrees with anyone that treats them any differently.family & history
FATHER: Ron-38
MOTHER: Lyra-36
SIBLINGS: Twin sister-Annalyse
OTHER FAMILY: N/A
HISTORY:
Her childhood was pretty normal for a little girl, she was quite hyper and loved to run around outside. Her love for animals started at an amazingly early age. She often brought baby birds, frogs, bugs, even snakes into her home, causing her mother to freak out. She got along well with other kids her age, and even older children. As she got older, and started middle school then highschool, things changed, of course.
In middleschool she had a couple puppy love crushes, and lots of friends, as always. She went through the years as happy as can be, and then came highschool. She found the dream world absolutely amazing. The more she went there the more she fell in love with the world and everything in it. She wanted, more than anything, to live there always like the dream beings. But of course, that could never happen. She couldn't sleep all the time, before highschool she never liked to sleep. She considered it wasting time, but not anymore. No, definitely not. Not when there was the dream world to go to...
Of course... things weren't always so wonderful. I forgot to mention her twin sister. She wasn't entirely evil; well she wasn't really evil, just the bad twin, maybe you could call it. They're opposites, but not completely. Secrely, subconsiously the two compete against each other. For everything. Friends, guys, games, etc. It's been that way their entire lives. Adelaide, being her friendly self, always tried to include her sister in her activities, but she was the one who refused. For some reason, her sister rebelled against being anything like her sister. She didn't want anyone saying that they were alike in any way besides the obvious; their appearance. Adelaide never understood why...
After a long time of trying to be friends with her sister, she finally gave up. Now they pretty much ignore each other, passing in the hall as if they were just another person in the crowd. Adelaide sometimes wonders if her sister has a secret of some kind, there just had to some reason to why she acted this way, right? Every now and then their eyes will meet, before one of them quickly looks away, and within that glance they share something, something that Adelaide knows they both can feel. The bond they once, and always held between them no matter how far apart she tried to push her sister away.
Along with high school came other changes. Adelaide got used to the fact of living alone, in a dorm room instead of at home, which made her sister happy, they didn't have to be in the same house to close to each other. And like most teenagers it felt nice to get away, from home and from parents, not that her parents were strict or anything, they were actually pretty lenient, Adelaide had become very close to her mother. Being the curious type, she had wondered the halls and every room she could find without getting into trouble. She was friendly to everyone, but this was high school, it wasn't so easy to keep friends... They came and went, and it was the same with boyfriends.dream form
She looks pretty much the same in human form... yes, in human form... She can shape-shift. Not only can she shape herself into animals, but she can also change her hair color, style, eye color, body and face shape, etc. But in her human dream form, her eyes appear to be an iridescent color, like a diamond, sparkly and colorful when light catches them. She also has wings. Like her eyes, her wings have the same iridescent look. They're sheer, see-through, almost like the wings of a honeybee, though the veins running through them are shaped into lovely swirling patterns. Each color the light reflects seem to sparkle like diamonds. The shape of the wings are kind of like that of a fairy, or a butterfly, but thinner and look even more fragile and very wispy.
