ⅰ.xxxIntroducing to「L o n d o n」society ;;
❝ A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ❞
【 A d d y 】
▶ ▷ { ah - dee }xxxxx This was the first nickname given to me. Adelaide can be a bit irritating to say constantly, so a nickname was due when I was several months old. My parents usually called me Adelaide for London's sake, but within the walls of our home, I was known by the name Addy.
【 E l l i e 】
▶ ▷ { el - lee }xxxxx Ellie. Well, this is the nickname that some of my parents' business partners have given to me. I really don't know why they don't call me by my actual name! Well, perhaps it is easier for them to enunciate this so I'll let this name slide, for now.
【 L a i - L a i 】
▶ ▷ { lay - lay }xxxxx When I began to go to school as a young child, all of my friends used to call me Lai Lai. I don't know why they did so considering it barely has any reference to my actual name, but nevertheless, it didn't sound completely intolerable so I just kept my lips together and began to respond to the name. It's not exactly my favourite nickname though.
❝ The stars aligned for me at this moment. ❞

▶ ▷〔 In the midst of a winter storm
The fourth night of January
a C A P R I C O R N was born . 〕
{ J a n u a r y 4 t h }
❝ And I have experienced several seasons pass me by. ❞
▶ ▷〔 Just one more year
Till I become a Lady.
L E G A L L Y - at least . 〕
{ S e v e n t e e n }
❝ Born as one, I understand my own responsibilities. ❞
▶ ▷〔 God shaped me with the anatomy of a W O M A N .
My mother and father regret that I can't be more
" Lady-like " in whatever term they hope for me
to become . 〕
{ F e m a l e }
❝ But I also know that the heart cannot be taught on whom to love. ❞
▶ ▷〔 For years I have hoped to find the R O M E O
To my Juliet story.
Where is my knight in shining armor ? 〕
{ H e t e r o s e x u a l }
ⅱ.xxxA great「p l e a s u r e」indeed to make your acquaintance ;;
❝ Whether proper or improper, it's how I am. ❞
" I can't help it if I am a H E L P L E S S - R O M A N T I C ! "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxEver since she was young, Adelaide had read all sorts of story books that filled her mind with the wishes of knights in shining armor, and the "happily ever after's". She spends her time by throwing pebbles into a wishing well, or finding her sanctuary in the fairy tales that she fantasizes. True love. She is convinced that it's real - but her doubt comes into play when she believes that it will never cross her path.
" I suppose it's not a good thing for my studies if I am a D A Y D R E A M E R . "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxInstead of obediently paying attention in class, Adelaide tends to be seen staring aimlessly out of windows. Her imagination takes hold of her body as it composes a dream for her. It's her only way of feeling some sense of security. She concocts a fairytale for her own life because her hopes on Prince Charming are dimming ever so fast.
" I don't care if you say I'm H E A D S T R O N G , that's how I like it ! "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxWithout a flicker of doubt is this woman a bit headstrong. Stubbornness in all its glory takes form in a young lady as she dives into situations without evaluating their consequences first. Adelaide doesn't have much for herself, but she sure has pride and dignity. She doesn't have a sweet tooth for losing, and being corrected will surely make you less of a friend of hers. The young lady does not have the ability to admit her wrong-doing - too stubborn for it. She is self-willed and is determined not to follow any orders or advice.
" Since I'm the youngest of us Ladies, don't you think it's okay for me to be a bit C H I L D I S H ? "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxPerhaps this isn't a very strong attribute to the young woman. She's stepping into adulthood, but then again, she still has the adolescent-facades linger a bit too long on her personality. She can be slightly clingy, and whiny - often times expecting others to put her needs before theirs. She's not always like this, though. She is indeed maturing, but for now, everyone will have to deal with her like a child at times.
" Contests are fun, non ? It's all part of my C O M P E T I T I V E , blood ! "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxChallenges and arguments are what Adelaide is all about. Her high spirits and confidence is always brimming with her competitive persona. Never backing down from a situation, she will offer a limb to win what she believes belongs to her. Losing is not on her list and whatever it takes for her to get what she wants, she'll do it.
" I'm not a dog, but I'm sure L O Y A L , as one . "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxAlthough Adelaide may seem to be a withdrawn woman, she would never let such a selfish manner come between a friend and herself. She’s got your back. She’s kept your secrets. She’s a shoulder to cry on. She'll never let anything happen to a single friend of hers. Her gold and treasures lie within the people she cares for. For instance, her older sister. She would take the blame for her older sister's troubles faster than the blink of an eye.
" Sometimes I feel as though I'm too D I S T A N T from the rest of the world . "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxNothing seemed more wrong when Adelaide became withdrawn from everyone. She was always with her sister and their friends - giggling and laughing till the tears came streaming out. She was never afraid of getting close to another person. But that all changed. Once her fiancee had left, she had become broken-hearted and devastated. Even though she still has the tendency to become close to others, she would rather keep a bit of ways between them just so she wouldn't have to go through that again.
" The line, ' I N N O C E N T until proven guilty, ' is one of my favourites . "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxInnocence can not nearly comprehend the purity that simply radiates off of her. Like a porcelain doll, the naiveté she possesses is sometimes too overwhelming for others to understand. Although this façade can be refreshing at most periods of time, to Adelaide, this may also portray as a weakness. Through her eyes, a corruptible world could be identical as an out-of-hand prank. She can be a bit too trusting at times, therefore, never really being too aware of the danger and sick intentions that some have laid out for her.
" Some say I'm as S W E E T as eating a spoonful of sugar . "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxSome say that she isn’t, but most say that she is. Despite her lively innuendos, she always manages to take some time and smell the flowers. Adelaide is usually seen with a smile - although, it may just be the fact that she is in the middle of a day dream - and her constant offers of help is always open to those who respect her back. She may be sweet, but still, there are times when she seems to be nothing but consumed by hatred and frustration.
" Is it okay to be D I F F E R E N T from the other girls I see ? "
『 ♬ 』xxxxxLondon girls would love nothing more than to slip on a pair of glass slippers and dance their troubles away at soirees, masquerades, and balls. They do their best to act proper and to impress their mother and father's friends so that bonds and relationships will form. They find suitors out of benefits. Adelaide would rather read her book and daydream than attend an evening of dinner and dance. She does not put much effort into pulling on that fake perfection that everyone else displays. Most importantly, she wants to find a husband - not a suitor - out of love.
❝ And all I could ask of you is to accept me for what I am. ❞
" Congratulations ma'am, you've got yourself a G I R L ! "
『 ✿ 』xxxxxIn all honesty, this birth wasn't very different from all the others. Screaming, crying, and blood - that was the essence of it all. Adelaide was born in the Big Apple - New York, America. She was greeted into the world fortunately by her mother, her father and last but not least - her dear sister.
" Adelaide, have you ever heard of the fairytale with the Prince and his P R I N C E S S ? "
『 ✿ 』xxxxxIt wasn't her fault - it was her mother's. The reason for Adelaide's obsession of "happily-ever-after"s and true love is because of that fairytale book that her mother just happened to crack open. It was her mistake to read it to her baby daughter. Little did she know that the girl would be hooked on it more than a bag of sugar.
" Dear girl! What is wrong with your S I S T E R ? "
『 ✿ 』xxxxxAdelaide's sister has "trouble" plastered over her beautiful little body. She really does. She doesn't seem to have the power to contain or control herself when a shocking bolt of "fun" strikes her. Adelaide grew up tailing after her, never being as much as of a bother as her. In fact, Adelaide was more behaved, but nothing what their parents expected. If it weren't for Adelaide's sister, who taught her not to care for the opinions that don't count, Adelaide wouldn't be the same girl she is today.
" You must have a D I A M O N D - R I N G on that finger soon, my dear . "
『 ✿ 』xxxxxDevastated. Horrified. Absolutely enraged! She always knew that her mother sent her sister and herself to London for the sake of finding a husband, but for their father to give Adelaide a deadline? How can you fall in love by an exact date - it's impossible! What's worse, was that if Adelaide couldn't find a suitor in time, she would literally be forced into the consent of being a wife - a wife of the man that her father chose!
" Time to take down the W E D D I N G - B E L L S . "
『 ✿ 』xxxxxLittle did she know that her heart would be stolen away by a man that her father picked out for her. He and Adelaide were truly the missing halves of one another - she completely believed it. When he told her he had a confession to make, she was sure they could make it through - unfortunately, he didn't believe in them. The soon-to-be-bride was going to be the-girl-left-at-the-alter.

ⅲ.xxxWould you「c a r e」for a walk? ;;
❝ I'm not really that hard to please. ❞
♥xxx『 L o v e - S t o r i e s 』
Adelaide is known to have an adoration to love stories because of her most romantic dreams. Unlike other girls, her life revolves around the cliche love tales where a Prince comes to the rescue of his princess.
♥xxx『 S p r i n g 』
Who doesn't love the Spring? Of course, it's filled with showers galore, but it is only necessary to help bring out the flower buds. As well, it always brings the best climate for taking afternoon strolls in the park and whatnot.
♥xxx『 C h o c o l a t e s 』
After reading mountainous stacks of books, Adelaide has found herself liking the typical things that men use to impress women. She also believes that chocolate does mend the broken heart and she has had to use this technique at certain times in her life.
♥xxx『 D a y d r e a m i n g 』
Day dreaming does not require the day. It simply just has to be dreaming when you are not fast asleep. What does she dream of? Plenty of things - but mostly over what her dream prince would be like. She's determined to find love - and all she can do is dream about it.
♥xxx『 M e n 』
Where could you find a love story that doesn't have the man in it? Adelaide wants nothing more than to have a husband - that she loves. She doesn't just want any other dull boy, but one that lifts her lips into a smile. Someone she can say, "I love you" to, and hear him say it back.
♥xxx『 F l o w e r s 』
As said with chocolates, flowers certainly can bring a smile to a woman's face. They come in an assortment of colors and they truly can be the most beautiful thing one has ever laid her eyes upon. As well, flowers remind Adelaide of the one and only Spring - the spring that brings life up from the cold winter.
♥xxx『 D e s s e r t s 』
From the chocolate cakes to the oatmeal cookies. They come with a variety of flavours and tastes and that's what its all about. Adelaide isn't a pig that you would find at the buffet table when there are parties. No. She's just a fan of the tasty foods that she can get her little hands on.
♥xxx『 P i a n o 』
Ebony and ivory keys aligned to play heart-melting music. So many songs and it's not very hard to play but oh so difficult to learn. Nothing can impress her heart more than a soothing song played directly from a piano.
♥xxx『 L e m o n a d e 』
On a nice warm day, nothing is better than to have a nice cool glass of lemonade. Adelaide's grandma's secret ingredient is mint. Very tasty. The taste is refreshing and brings her senses back to her. Who doesn't love the sweet-sour taste of lemon, water and sugar? Are you not thirsty by just thinking of it?
♥xxx『 L a d y - A u t u m n 』
The other half of her soul - and probably the more careless, outgoing and optimistic half. Adelaide's older sister means more than the world to her because she is the rarest of the jewels as a free woman and her duty as a sister. It is a bit tiring it though to always have her slipping into trouble - Adelaide is constantly the one who takes the fall for her and their parents tend to believe their younger daughter. Sometimes, Adelaide just don't bother.
❝ But there are things I just can't stand. ❞
✖xxx『 E v e n i n g - S o i r e e s 』
Why do I detest balls, masquerades, and anything of the like? Well, my mother would force me to wear a corset - and you cannot imagine how tight they are until you are restrained to wear one - and stuff me feet into shoes that increase the chance of making a fool of myself. Then, I would have to dance endlessly to the night with suitors I barely know. What is there to like?
✖xxx『 S u i t o r s 』
I believe in true love and what that is what I am determined to receive. I dream and breathe for it and I don't plan on my father and mother finding one. I still haven't had my first kiss for crying out loud! Love at first sight is always a good sign - but being coupled with a man you absolutely detest and have your parents mouth vows that you do not wish to say is a terrible nightmare. I'll find the one I love. I'll do it myself.
✖xxx『 R u l e s 』
Laws and restrictions. They are nothing but the most inferior system human-kind has ever come up with. Of course, I believe in rules to some degree, but when you are a Lady in the town of London, rules certainly grab you by the neck and squeeze you till your blue. Because of orders, I am forced to wear ridiculously tight corsets and because of rules I am not allowed to wear whatever I want. Because of orders, I must do things that break my heart and because of rules I can't be me.
✖xxx『 G r e e n - T e a 』
No matter how many times you insist, I will not allow my lips to go anywhere near green tea. It just does not suit my taste at all! To me, it simply tastes like boiled grass - and who really likes that? What's worse, it seems to be a big thing in London. If anything at all, I'll just take the biscuits.
✖xxx『 W a l l f l o w e r s 』
To put it into clearer words, I just do not like the term wallflower. Perhaps I play one, and so do many others, but it makes me all the sadder to hear it. A wallflower. One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity. It makes it sound like wallflowers are outcasts.
✖xxx『 T h e - C o l d 』
As I have mentioned previously, I like taking walks in Spring, but when it is gray and dreary out, it seems a bit tiring to do. When my arms are covered in goose bumps and my spine runs down with the chill. I don't like the cold. I just don't.
✖xxx『 D a r k n e s s 』
No, I am not afraid of it. I simply just don't like it. Aside from the dead black of the night, I don't like darkness very much. Not in the world around me or in the people I know. Darkness is a disease that eats away at the light, and it seems almost depressing to look at.
✖xxx『 C o w a r d s 』
Anyone who runs away from the challenge. When they bring up the game, they leave when I expect to play. When a relationship arises before our eyes and a challenge is placed on our road, they leave me. Do they under or overestimate me in some way? Anyone who runs away from anything - anyone who runs away and leaves me to fend for myself.
✖xxx『 S c h o o l i n g 』
I have two points of view on this. Really, I do. First of all, I think school is a lovely place...for me to daydream at the very least. When you have a professor that lectures you from a book and doesn't ever look up at the class - you can practically be stripped naked. But now, I use that time to either sleep or more commonly, think of miraculous events that one day may happen for me.
✖xxx『 S p i c y - F o o d 』
It's like getting shot in the mouth. It burns your tongue and for what - just the taste? I think it is idiotic to eat spicy food because it makes people sweat and all they enjoy is the sizzle that practically burns away at your taste buds. I think I will just very well stick with my sweets and pastries thank you very much.
❝ And there are things I rather not associate myself with. ❞
★ • • • • • • R e j e ct i o n
Considered to be a f e a r...
Rejection. Just a nine letter word to explain a little bit of myself. I've been rejected as a child, as a friend, and as a wife. Just the painful, heart-pounding strike that changes your life forever. It brings embarrassment to me and only leaves a permanent memory lingering in my mind.

Alright, so she may get on my nerves from time to time and she might be the reason I always get into trouble, but hey - she's my sister. The other half of my soul and I love her for that. She's one of the people I hold dearest, and if anything were to happen to her - anything - that would simply break me into two.

Does it sound too complicated? Ironic really if you think about it. Well, I suppose every woman in the world has felt this odd feeling before - this terrible fear that places them on some kind of line. A woman fears that she'll be single - and alone - for the rest of her life. Then, she fears the fact that she may fall in love - which is one of the most excruciating heart-aches in all of time.

Nothing grieves me more than to have to face any shame. It is constantly used against my family and myself. As said by someone wise, "Shame is an ornament of the young; a disgrace to the old." If anyone were to threaten me with such a thing, I would falter completely. I've had my fair share of being a disgrace.

Indeed, it is more common for the young children to have stupid fears such as this, but I am seventeen and I still do - I'm not afraid to say that at the very least. When I was younger, I only remembered the bright lights that flashed across the sky, the pounding rain, and the rumbles that shook our home. Why am I one of the only young women afraid of it?
❝ Oh, and by the way~ ❞
If I were to have a T H E M E - S O N G, it would be this:
Kiss Me
Six Pence None The Richer
Kiss me out on the bearded barley.
Nightly, beside the green, green grass.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step.
You were those shoes and I will wear that dress.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me, out on the moon-lit floor, Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
Kiss me down by the broken tree house.
Swing me upon its hanging tire.
Bring, bring, bring me your flowered hat.
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map.
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me, out on the moon-lit floor, Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me, out on the moon-lit floor, Lift your open hand.
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.
So kiss me.
