FULL APPEARANCE:
Adella is a small and petite woman, her height on the lower end of average for most women. She is small breasted and wide hipped, cutting a rather pear like figure. Her hair is long, just past her chest, thick as wool and a dark blonde in hue. She often wears it pulled back in a scarf or horsetail tied off with a ribbon. Her clothing is simple, perhaps even a bit ragged in places, as she has never really owned much on her own.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Kind, loving and sweet, Adella is not at all what one would expect of a child born out of wedlock and thrust into a life of invisible shame to be. Despite the less than loving upbringing she had, she treats everyone and everything around her with extreme kindness and is often trying to spread warmth to everyone she meets.
A pure-hearted soul who just wants to find her place in this world, she is a hard worker and a dreamer, hopeless romantic and she loves all living things. That said, if scratching beneath the surface to her in private, one would find her to be irritated sarcastic about those she has less than pleasant feelings about and behind their back.. she isn't shy of saying so.... especially if someone makes the mistake about asking of her mother, to whom she has naught but intense bitterness towards.
Naïve to a fault and less than intelligent when it comes to reading people, she can be easily manipulated into believing outlandish things that others with even base common sense could see is risky and foolish. She trusts way too easily and to the right (or in most senses, the wrong) person, she would make an easy mark.
When she gets an idea in her head, she can be very capricious and foolish and will give into the impulsive action or choice, not considering its consequences and very much flying by the seat of her desires, which could cause commotions and distress around her that she is very oblivious to.
She is also something of a magpie and hordes strips and bits of cloth from dresses the ladies of the house have made and uses it to make patchwork dresses for herself to wear. She is also of a waste not sort and will find a use for just about anything if she can.

HISTORY:
Adella was born as the result of an illicit affair between her lord father Vladivir and her drudge mother, the latter hoping she would be a boy and provide the lord with the son he desired and her own aspirations of social status to rise. But no, she had been given a daughter and from the start, she wanted nothing to do with the baby, trying to pretend she didn't exist. The house cook took pity on the baby and seen to her day to day essential needs and tried to see to her emotional needs as much as she was able.
When she was old enough, the girl began to work in the kitchens, scrubbing pots, washing linens and attending to the lord's daughters of the blood. She often would be unnoticed, and that was how she liked it. It was less chance to get herself in trouble. But being something of a magpie, she would collect cast off items from the household, like bits of cloth and other things and with the skills she was being taught by staff, she began to sew the bits into a patchwork dress that she wore for her everyday.
But the question remained.. why didn't her mother want anything to do with her and would not speak of her father... surely he wanted her right? At 14, she finally confronted the woman and got her answer.. and the fact she was to never say a word about herself existing, that she was lower than even her mother, she didn't exist.
This angered Adella and she wanted to confront the lord and ask why he didn't want her, he had many daughters, surely one more was not an issue right? But she kept it in, biting her tongue. She only found that one person seemed nicer to her and actually gave her a second of regard, Dhavir, the eldest daughter. She didn't mind serving her and doing chores to aid her. But when she had left the manor, Adella began to feel sad and lonely again and soon had to deal with the sisters that remained.
When she reached adulthood at 18, she was cast out, originally told it was because she was an adult but truth was because someone had spilled her true connection to the lord of the house and threatened to expose it. So naturally.. she had to go. There was a slight kindness shown to her, she was allowed to take a few things with her, as she was sent to another hold to marry some young lad she knew nothing of but had heard less than kind things about. Terrified of the notion of being in a loveless marriage, she had sent off a letter to her sister Dhavir (now D'vir)and informed her of the situation and was prepared to flee her home to escape this.
Lucky for her, D'vir was kind enough to come get her before she ended up trusting the wrong person or fleeing the hold. She was taken to Semaca and while on the way there, it was found that there was that spark of something in her that Cainhurth had detected and an impromptu search occurred.
Upon arrival, her step sister helped her at least get a few outfits that were not all patchwork dresses and brought her to the candidate master and thus her new life began. Settling into candidate life has not been easy, as she had to learn a lot of new skills she didn't know but she was no stranger to hard work and despite having not impressed yet, her dragon was out there somewhere... and she had plenty of time to find them.
