[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Adellenne was born to a family of poachers who lived deep in the Black Shroud. Although gifted permission to remain in the area by the elementals, their work hunting made it difficult to provide. They often resorted to other means, including conartistry. Her parents struggled to provide for their six children and, when she was eleven, sent her two oldest brothers out to make their way in he world. Although heartbroken to lose the company of her favorite brother, she turned her attention to pursuing her passion in music and healing. Having discovered a talent for water based magic, her parents were in the midst of discussing her training with the Conjurer's Guild when Adrien returned home. The money he arrived with, and the letter from Sebastiont about his recent marriage, set those plans on the back burner. Once again the family was able to hold their own. ❀ Several cycles after this Adelle was following several of her brothers when she mistook a Tree Slug for a knot in the wood of a tree, and plummeted to the forest floor. In her terror at landing on a large root, which would have likely pierced her chest, she somehow pulled the root just far enough to save herself from impalement. Instead her head struck a tree knee, shattering her glasses and leaving her comatose for two suns. When she finally awoke, her memories were scattered. She found it difficult to piece who was who and where she was. After several moons she seemed to have recovered, although it was realized that she was unable to form new memories. ❀ Adelle's brother Gasparmont petitioned for his youngest sibling to be sent away, claiming her lack of tact and general confusion from sun to sun made things more dangerous for the family as a whole. Eventually her mother agreed, and her legal guardianship was given to the Conjurers. She lived with them for close to twenty cycles before an excommunicated member named Cicero Fortescue was given the position as her guardian. He brought her to Thanalan, where she was given new clothes and the task of learning herself. While this left her with an abundance of free time, she took to it with purpose and began to understand who she was as her own person. ❀ Roughly six moons after her arrival to the Free Company known as E.R.A., Adelle was subjected to several experimental procedures to repair the damage to her brain. Alchemical and surgical procedures caused her to suffer from hallucinations, seizures and disassociation before the side effects settled. While it worked, it left her unable to properly distinguish a present event from that of a memory. Slipping into one of these states would leave her nearly catatonic for bells at a time. She was later given a service dog, Dozer, as well as a Mammet named Mungo to help with these episodes. Both learned cues to keep her from slipping, and will use auditory or electric means to keep her present. ❀ Adelle now works as the Chief Medical and Clerical Officer for E.R.A., although she has been known to work outside the Company on occasion. APPEARANCE Standing at 6' 6" puts Adelle above most people she encounters. Adelle’s height is mostly in her legs, although they do not seem blatantly disproportionate to the rest of her body. Long, slender and graceful, they lack things like blemishes or scars simply because she’s never had a time to acquire them. On the back of her left thigh is a darker blue shape she says is a birth mark, even if she has no real way of knowing. Her figure is willowy, with toned arms from working the garden or lifting heavy boxes of medications. While not considered curvy or soft, she has a slight hourglass figure made more prominent by certain dresses or blouses. Her eyes, on the other hand, are likely her most prominent feature. Although she once went without makeup, she now tends to rim her upper lash line with both mascara and liner. This gives her an almost doe-eyed expression which she is more than grateful to hide behind her glasses. The blue of her eye is uncorrupted by flecks of any other color, giving them a look not unlike polished sapphire. She has the odd habit of not blinking often, particularly when she’s thinking, which can be somewhat unsettling. Since alterations to her mind were made, whenever she’s being affected by her memories or thoughts her eyes are the most telling clue. The eye will dilate, the color seemingly swallowed by her pupil, and they almost gloss over. At this point Adelle will seem to be gazing through current conversation partners or even surroundings, and if not immediately brought out of the memory she will be unable to blink or look at anything beyond what she’s currently ‘seeing’ (remembering). Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Adelle wears long gloves from fingertip to bicep, even with swim suits. ■ Her glasses are not just for looks. She has a difficult time seeing things at a distance. ■ When blushing, her coloring deepens to a navy over the bridge of her nose and her cheeks. PERSONALITY Adelle greets any first impression like an interview: formal, stiff, and with every ilm of polite docorum she can muster. While personable, she is incredibly reserved about giving out too much information and would much rather have someone else discuss themselves than give any insight. This generally lasts until she feels comfortable enough to relax, and share her thoughts. Depending on the person, this can take anywhere from a few suns to a moon or more. On the field, when working, or in her infirmary is another matter entirely. Proud, demanding, and with a firm 'take charge' attitude to any given situation makes her appear to be more confident than she appears. When overwhelmed, she'll often politely excuse herself from whatever duties she might have and flee to the Shroud. Above all else, meeting her there will reveal her true nature. Relaxed, curious, and perfectly at ease. The three sides to her make her a bit difficult to get to know, but she turns down company less and less. L I K E S ■ Literature. Old books, new ideas, scrolls or novels...She really doesn't mind what knowledge she's been handed, and is as happy with a book on anatomy as she is a fairytale. ■ Nature. She is never happier than when she's trekking barefoot through the Shroud. D I S L I K E S ■ Stubborness. Somewhat hypocritical, Adelle cannot stand when someone is so set in their ways they refuse help or healing. ■ The Void. It unsettles her immensely, and after a few unfortunate run-ins she still suffers from nightmares. ■ Dragons. The cause of the scarring over her hands and arms. H O B B I E S ■ Reading. Anything and everything. ■ Gardening. Tending to small plots in the yard, pots in her room or elsewhere brings her no small amount of joy. She also grows things for her friends, like personalized strains of Moko or rolanberries. S T R E N G T H S ■ Memory. Adelle's memory allows her to recall details of her patients or coworkers that could easily save their lives, or defuse an argument. ■ Patience. Even if she's privately upset, Adelle's patience and bedside manner never falters in front of those she is caring for. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Physical Touch. Beyond family or lovers (and only then in private), Adelle is easily flustered by physical intimacy of any kind, even friendly hugs. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Being Useful' - Adelle only ever wants to be of use. It drives every motivation she has. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY Madelline Hocoleux, Mother. (♥●) - The Matriarch. Character's Thoughts: "If she wanted to know me, nothing would stop her." Adelle and her mother were close before her accident. While she didn't have the proficiency the older woman did with a bow, she followed in her footsteps with musical talent. Unknown to the youngest of the family, Madelline often shadows her in the Twelveswood. Alfredoux Hocoleux, Father. (♥●) - The Cripple. Character's Thoughts: "Fathers are meant to protect their daughters. Mine failed quite spectacularly." Although never overly close, Alfred had a fondness for his daughter until she was sent away. Were he to see her now, his own pride over the loss of his leg and the scarring from the Calamity would likely keep him from identifying himself. Sebastiont Hocoleux, Brother. (✝♥●) - The Widow Maker. Character's Thoughts: "He was kind. I hope he is doing well," Unaware of her oldest brother's death, Adelle only sometimes speculates about him. They were not overly close, although they had a loving relationship in her younger cycles. He left when she was eleven, and after receiving word of his marriage she didn't hear from him again. He perished in the Calamity, leaving behind a devastated wife. Adelle has never met the woman. Adrieneux Hocoleux, Brother. (♥✔) - The Beach Bum. Character's Thoughts: "I think if you stretched out his jobs on a roll of parchment, the list would be taller than me!" Adrien has only ever been the protective older brother. Although she has no recollection of his coming to see her while she was in the Conjury guild, he never forgot her. He was raising money for a small house for the both of them, and now works as her retainer. They are exceptionally close, and one will never not defend the other. Elfreux Hocoleux, Brother. (♥●) - The Meek. Character's Thoughts: "Elfreux was always nervous..." Still living at home, Elfreux always leaned his decision making toward his younger brother's ideas. This meant Adelle never looked kindly on him, as said ideas usually meant she was kept out of games or bullied. Gasparmont Hocoleux, Brother. (✝♥●) - The Stereotype. Character's Thoughts: "He taught me the sort of person I should never be." A cruel and selfish individual, Gasparmont loathed that he had a little sister he was meant to look out for. Instead, he made her life miserable. Emotionally abusive out of sight of his parents, and not below pulling her hair or shoving her, she steadily became a shrinking wall flower under his behavior. He was the key voice for sending her away after her accident. She was a hallway away from him at the time of his death, and was able to hear his screams. They sometimes haunt her dreams. Briereux Hocoleux, Brother. (♥●) - The Husband. Character's Thoughts: " ." Description of their relationship. NON-FAMILY Bexy Amalaryssia Coworker. (♦✔ ) - The Field Commander. Character's Thoughts: "I admire her passion. Maybe one sun I can have her confidence as well." Both women suffer in the kitchen, and share a fondness for sweets and romantic stories. Their calm, quiet nature serves them well and they often share a morning meal together before starting on work. Cicero Fortescue. Ex-Friend. (✖♥♦) - The Hearer Character's Thoughts: "It is better he does not come back. He made himself quite clear." While once her closest friend and deepest confidant, Cicero and Adelle had a falling out when she was unwilling to pursue a relationship with him while he was with anyone else. He reacted poorly to her rejection, and she was unwilling to discuss anything further. Their last interaction did not go well, and with his departure from the Company and Ul'dah it is unlikely their friendship will ever be recovered. Sylvia Channing. CoWorker. (♦✔ ) - The Mech Mender Character's Thoughts: "She might be spreading herself too thin. It would be better if she chose the infirmary or the workshop, not both..." Although nervous to call Sylvia a friend, as such titles have not fared well for her in the past, this is one person she can. The observant younger woman and Conjurer in training assists her in the infirmary, as well as on the field. While she can appreciate the woman's no-nonsense attitude, she is sometimes put off by her willingness to show physical affection. Solid Sequoia. Friend. (✔♦ ) - The Huntress Character's Thoughts: "She...I mean we..." Adelle and Solid's relationship was a tentative thing that briefly got off the ground. After Adelle came to have a memory, and realized how prone to jealousy she was, she stopped pursuing the woman. That doesn't mean her feelings have changed. Unable to get over the fact that she couldn't be the only one the woman loves, she merely pines from afar. Grymelil Swarblaetsyn. CoWorker. (♦♥✔ ) - The Captain Character's Thoughts: "Are all Roegadyn this stubborn?" Grym and Adelle have a 'purely' physical relationship. While she first turned away each and every one of his advances, after a certain point (and a particularly bad sun) she invited him to what she considered 'home territory' in the Shroud. Since then, her initial feelings toward him have cooled. She tentatively calls him a friend, and largely only shows how comfortable she is with him around small numbers of people, or in private. Rinadin Dinwell. Student. (✔ ) - The Pirate's Princess Character's Thoughts: "I only hope I am all her father expects of me." Having recently slipped in to fill the roll of her tutor in Conjury, she is pushing Adelle's comfort level to its limit. Unused to children, she struggles to balance between allowing her to be a child and encouraging her to be as mature as she needs to be. She enjoys her sunny disposition, and is pleased the girl regularly listens to what she instructs. Dubus Hydrae. Acquaintance. (★♥ ) - The Womanizer Character's Thoughts: "Such a lovely tail..." coming soon.

I'm not down for that, and since I get really uncomfortable explaining myself I'll ghost you. ■ I have FOUR characters, including this one. That means my time is limited, and precious. Please don't get upset when I can't fit you in. I will happily schedule a time to do a scene, but I have content to play too. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Adelle can often be found wandering off the beaten path in the Black Shroud, or bathing in the rivers. Maybe you've found one of her labeled tea satchels, or she forgot her glasses and she's coming back to find them. Maybe you spend just as much time in the Shroud, and somehow you've managed to cross paths. ■ She sometimes travels to Limsa Lominsa for a drink in the evenings, and to linger to watch the sunsets. Her usual is honey brandy, or white wine. She'll usually be found on the upper docks in Costa del Sol, or tucked at a table with a book in the Drowning Wench. ■ Have a bump? Her name and face is well known by several clinics in Ul’dah, and she's been seen tending the odd patient here and there from her apartment in The Mists. She's recently taken up residency in Ward six, and is a mostly quiet neighbor. ■ She’s been seen hanging around the Alchemists guild, and spends a surprising amount of time just wandering the market. Maybe you've seen her ferrying messages to several of the merchants. They're all official...aren't they? Character Lore Adherence While I do try to adhere to lore, there's only so much I know for sure. Since this is the case, I will say I bend lore as I need to. Before IC healing I will always ask your preference, as Adelle is also skilled in mundane healing methods that don't use aether. ■ No changes required.
