APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR: Fiery Red

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Adele has fiery red hair, that contrasts with her baby blue eyes. Her face has a very dreamy look to it, and her wide eyes give her a whimsical effect. She has a very healthy body, as she is plus- sized. People always think plus-sized means fat, but Ada proves them wrong when she steps into a bathing suit. Adele doesn't have the average teenager acne, and instead has skin that looks very average; not too pale, not too tan. She always seems to find a way to jazz up her school outfit, whether it be with jewelry, or hair pieces/styles.

PERSONALITY
------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER STRENGTHS AND SKILLS:
Ada has a knack for Potions, a love for contemporary dancing, and a speciality in painting.
CHARACTER WEAKNESSES:
Sports. She's not bad at them, she just doesn't have much interest in them. People. Ada's not shy, she just unsettles most people out with her dream-like persona.
Claustrophobia. Ada hates small spaces, and just wants to run free.
CHARACTER LIKES:
Painting. Every morning during Spring, Adele gets up early and paints the sunrise. Cooking. Maybe that's where Ada's love for potions came from. Her hair. She's not self-conceited, but she loves to have her hair be different lengths and styles every day, courtesy of magic.
CHARACTER DISLIKES:
Closets. Much too small for her taste. Dresses. They always get dirty, and end up being a waste in money. Night. Ada feels uncomfortable not being able to see where she's going.
GOALS:
Create a new potion.
QUIRKS:
She often drives people away with her head-in-the-clouds persona.
BOGGART: Bring trapped in a small room.
PATRONUS: When she was 8, and her family adopted her older brother.
DEMENTOR: Her Uncle's funeral. He was murdered.
VERITASERUM: Ada had anorexia for a while when she was teased about being a little bigger than everyone else. Only her family knows.
MIRROR OF ERISED: To see her Uncle alive, one last time.
PERSONALITY: Adele has a calm, dreamy personality (much like that of Luna Lovegood). She prefers to do things by herself, but wouldn't object to a friend or two. That is, if anyone had any interest in being her friend. Ada views the world like only an artist can; filled with beauty and color. She holds no grudges, but will remember the face of someone who openly teased her.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Adele grew up with an average life. She got what she needed, and took very little of what she didn't. That's not to say that she didn't have the selfishness of a child, however. Her parents just never really had the time or money to give her any luxuries. She didn't mind, and neither did Brandon. During her few years in Elementary School, Ada was disliked by the other girls, and was bullied into a severe case of anorexia. Her body type wasn't meant to be slim, and she collapsed on the way home from school one day. Good thing she was in front of her house when it happened, so only her parents know. She recovered quickly, but still remains a little bit wary of girls her age. She, like most other children, was happy to be going to Hogwarts, but sad that she had to leave her parents.
Hogwarts Years: Ada was an average student, usually getting A's, occasionally E's. She wasn't very social, and that might have been why people avoided her in later years. Adele managed to make it through her first year in Hogwarts by the kindness of her brother. He had gone to Hogwarts a year before Ada did, and helped her through her classes.
Adulthood: Still a kid

RP SAMPLE: - Spoiler:
Her paintbrush was poised in front of her canvas, dripping with pale pink paint. Her wide eyes watched carefully as the first ray of sunshine came over the horizon, the paintbrush now in motion. The colors seemed to flow over the paper like water, the pink and orange blending together perfectly. As the last side of the sun came above the horizon line, the last brush stroke was completed. She smiled, and signed her name in the corner of the canvas in script. Adele Somers
