• There is a silver ring on her left ring finger that's not optional, so please don't forget it

Adeline Whittemore (later Adeline "Addy" Addington) is an inquisitive and determined young woman from the breezy coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Although she comes from a family of fishers — she's pretty handy with a fishing rod — her most treasured skill is writing. When she became an adult, Adeline moved with her older sister Daliah from the Maritimes to Central Canada to put her writing to work. The turbulent politics of post-Confederation Canada in the 1890s created the perfect environment for her to thrive; under the pseudonym Elizabeth "Eliza" Stone, Adeline began independently publishing an old-fashioned 'social history' magazine discussing social discourse, politics, and the encroaching first-wave feminist movement. Adeline is quite opinionated, argumentative, and very unwavering in her beliefs, which led to some unsavory 'discussion' of the elusive "Elizabeth Stone" throughout Québec and Ontario. However, her quick wit and dry humour — both of which bleed into her writing style — have given her some credit among the dry British-born Canadians. One such man, Edward Addington, a young physician from London, England, would be a great deal of help to her. Interested in her work, Edward, providing medical care to lower-class parts of the central provinces, would report back to her with firsthand accounts and witness testimony, fueling her fire. Even though she sometimes acts like (and even jokes about it), Adeline doesn't live for her work; she loves what she does, but she loves her friends and family more, and would later end up marrying Edward — hence her silver wedding ring! But there's no such thing as "settling down" to good 'ol Adeline.
