Adelaide is working hard at The Garden to make ends meet for both Acacia and herself. She tends to take late night shifts and work 6 days a week to earn the wages she needs. But Adelaide cares a lot for Acacia and is more than happy to work the extra hours for her. The one thing that upsets Adelaide, however, is that Acacia refuses to back down from her job as a hitman. Adelaide is afraid what will happen to Acacia if she continues this life of crime, so she tries to convince Acacia to step away.

But one night, walking home to a late night shift, Adelaide walks into a between between Acacia and curly brown-haired girl, Veloura. Adelaide interjects the battle, scowling at Acacia for attacking someone, and Veloura makes her escape. Acacia and Adelaide get into an arguement about the ordeal, which turns out to be another job Acacia has taken up as a hitmen. But for the brief momemnt that Adelaide locked eyes with Veloura, she saw a girl that was just like her younger self: alone, hurt, and desperate.

Adelaide is a Lusdrake: a race of humanoid crystal dragons that is seen as rare and exotic. Born into a small desert village, Adelaide's mother took her child and move to Lebeau in hopes to raise Adelaide in a city of opportunity. Unfortunately, the mother suffered a terminal illness and passed away when Adelaide was only 8, leaving the young girl to be left in an orphanage. Young Adelaide didn't stay at the orphanage for very long, however, the exotic charm she had for being a Lusdrake helped her get into a home rather quickly. Sadly, the family wasn't a loving one.

From the outside looking in, Adelaide's adoptive parents were caring. They would dress her up in beautiful dresses, and talk to their friends and family about how they had a beauty adopted child who was a Lusdrake. However, behind closed doors was a dark world for Adelaide. It was years of torture, abuse, and neglect. She was only there to look pretty and be her adoptive parents trophy child. Her bedroom was the storage room and she ate out of dog bowls. She would dance for her parents and their friends; a dance that she learnt from her mother. It was the only piece of her mother she had left.

Adelaide was 13 when the weight of the abuse became too unbearable. She was in the kitchen, preparing dinner for her parents, when the thought of using the kitchen knife to end it all came. At first, the knife was for herself, but after another fit she recieve from parents, Adelaide turned the knife on them and blanked. Adelaide came to her senses when the policeman walk into the bloody scene.

Adelaide's trial became a popular topic in the news: A 13 year old girl brutally stabbing her adoptive parents multiple times. The discussion on the morality of the young girl and whether or not she should be tried as an adult lingered around the city. At the end of the long trial process, Adelaide was sentence for second degree homicide when she was 14.

15 years have past and Adelaide was let out on parole. Her parents, her actions, and her consequences were all behind her now, and she knew that all she could do was move foreward. Day by day, she worked to build a new life for herself. She found a job at a local bar, The Garden; the bar owner was kind enough to bring her in despite her criminal record. She found a place to stay and works hard to pay her rent. And two years later, she found a Moon Elf passed out in a back alley and took her in.

Adelaide is not much of a fighter, but she can still hold herself in combat. Her movements are quick, agile, and fluid; she's able to weave around attacks and stay light on her feet. If she gets knocked off her feet, she's able to turn and flip herself to land gracefully. When she activates the gem on her forehead, she's is able to create topaz crystals from the ground and manipulate them. Using her powers, she creates a crystaline spear which she uses for combat.

Her spear provides her reach so she's able to keep a bit of distance between her and her opponent. She spins and twirls her spear around to make her attacks quick and unpredictable while also providing her with some protection. Additionaly, she can use her spear to vault up and help her keep balance.

Adelaide is able to perform dances empowered by the gem on her forehead. When she does, the topaz crystals around her will glow and emit an aura that dispell or enhance the potency of any magic.
