PERSONALITY
Adelina is the kind of person who is responsible to a fault, to the point where she can be a bit controlling at times. She doesn't really see that as a bad thing though - she knows what she wants, and how she wants things to be, so if that means telling people what to do more often than her turn, that's just the way it has to be. Besides, most of the time she doesn't take the criticism that seriously, knowing that a lot of people view her as bossy just because she's a woman who's not afraid to take charge - although Iris frequently argues that she is, actually, just annoying, but she also doesn't put too much weight into what her little sister says. She's extremely smart - and she knows it, too - and very dedicated to any project she undertakes. Her mind is a bit of a one track mind in those instances. If she gets an idea in her head, she will put her entire focus on seeing it to fruition, and that does sometimes lead her to neglecting other things, or even sometimes people, around her. Friendship does come a little harder to her because of the fact that she's never made much of an effort to put relationships first or even second in her life, and it has caused many fall outs in her life, which she's brushed aside as them not being supportive enough.
She likes to pretend that people's opinions of her don't matter, but it's not quite that simple. She doesn't let their judgment get to her, especially if it's on a fault she would never admit to having. However, she is a bit proud and as such does care what others think of her achievements. Namely, she applied to several Ivy League schools just to prove that she could get into them. She's very ambitious and has high expectations of herself, more so in a lot of cases than her own mothers, who admittedly wish she would just take a break sometimes. Failure is not something she generally accepts well, or accepts at all for a matter. If she's being told something she worked hard for isn't good enough, then she will double down and work ever harder to make sure she can prove them wrong. She does have a tendency to be a bit patronizing, because her beliefs are firmly set in place and in her mind, the way she's going about achieving her goals is the only right way to succeed at life. For all her rough edges, she does have a soft side even if she doesn't show it very often. Any time not spent studying and working is dedicated to volunteering for a nearby women's shelter. She's very patient, with a kind and giving spirit, and that is where most of her drive comes from - her hard work to succeed in the business world has never been about money, and always about being in a position where she feels she can make a difference for others.
It likely comes as no surprise that dating isn't something she frequently does, as she simply doesn't have the time to get involved in a serious relationship where she would have to share herself with another person. She's gone out with people before, of course, but always on a casual basis, and whenever someone seems like they're starting to want more is when she puts an end to the whole thing. She does feel it might be nice someday to be involved with someone in a more committed fashion, but she also doesn't think she needs a man in her life for validation. She's not the kind of girl who determines her own self worth based on who she's dating or how many kids she wants to have - which is none - so she knows that if she remains single for the rest of her adult life, she won't feel like she's really missed out on anything. It will happen, or it won't, and that's all there is to it.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Adelina's favorite color is red, and she's not a fan of gray. She loves fall, and could do without summer. She's a dog person, and she hates bugs. She could eat margherita pizza any day of the week, and she craves strawberry shortcake most often, but she hardly ever touches beef, and dislike jello. She's not a milk drinker, she much prefers coffee. She likes studying and debating, but she doesn't enjoy doing nothing. Her best subject in school is Math, and her worst is History.
APPEARANCE
Adelina strongly believes in putting her best foot forward, and that includes her appearance. Of course, luckily enough for her, she was already blessed with looks that require little work. With her flawless golden skin and her masses of soft, wavy dark brown hair, she's already apt to making people take her in when she walks into a room. Her large brown eyes are framed with dark lashes, her lips soft and plump, and her nose is thin and just a tad long. Standing at 5'4, she has a slim build with just the right amount of curves, which she feels no shame in flaunting one in a while, though only in the right setting. Makeup is her saving grace from dark under eye circles, although she usually does stick to a more muted look, enhancing her natural features without looking caked on. She's a strong believer in 'dressing the part', and as such her wardrobe is primarily filled with business casual attire, which tends to make her seem a bit older than she is. Being that she can be a bit vain, her desire to keep in good shape has less to do with health benefits and more to do with the fact that she wants to keep her body slender. She tends to favor exercise that allow a bit of aggression as a stress reliever, such as kick boxing.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Adelina feels she has a good relationship with her mothers, although she wouldn't necessarily say she's very close to them either. She loves them and has nothing to say against the way they've raised her, but she aspires for more than the life they've set for themselves, and sometimes it can make her say things that make it seem like she looks down on their own achievements. She was never a very warm and cuddly child to begin with, seeking her independence at a young age by not wanting them to come and tuck her in, and self soothing herself back to sleep after nightmares. As she's grown older, there have been arguments at times about how much of her life she's dedicating to her career goals, which she knows stems from worries that she will end up alone, but still frustrate her to no end because she should be able to live her own life as she sees fit. Even so, she loves them dearly, and she wants nothing more than to make them proud of her. She doesn't visit as often as she should, but she tries to call once in a while, and mostly keeps in touch through texting or messaging online.
She's never had a close bond with her sister however, and it's really only deteriorated with the years. They have such different temperaments, not just in a way where they're not inclined to spending time with one another but where they will actually clash frequently. Adelina has frequently told Iris off for being irresponsible and immature, although this is admittedly based on her own criterias as to what makes a person act maturely and responsibly. In her eyes, Iris lacks drive and ambition, and seriously needs to start looking at getting her act together because she's not gonna be able to live at their moms for the rest of her life. She never holds back from telling her that, either, thinking she's being helpful by making her see that she needs to start acting like an adult, but really it just tends to spark up arguments and fights. Ultimately, she just wishes Iris would grow up already, but if she decides not to, then she knows she'll have done what she could to set her on the right path, and she will take no responsibility in how things turn out for her.
