Name: Adelaide Marie Donohue
Nickname: Ada
Age: 23
Birthday: September 4
Sign: Virgo
Gemstone: Sapphire
Blood Type: O
Fav. Food: Take-out Chinese
Hated Food: Avacados. Too many jokes about her name. The word "adacado" still haunts her.
School: Citizen. Ada graduated from DCU with a major in economics. Currently working on a masters as well. She works at the firm where Zia got fired from as an assistant. So basically she took Zia's job when she was fired. You snooze you lose.
Hobbies: Work: Though it's a bit strange for a hobby, Ada actually performs work even outside the office. She likes double checking things, running tests again, proof-reading everything three times. It might sound a bit perfectionist, but she actually just likes numbers enough that even outside of work she finds herself ... working. Even if she has to occupy her mind with a sudoku puzzle, she enjoys any fragment of work she has to do. It makes her a very efficient person, but also a slightly tired one.
Card Games: When she isn't working, Ada is a rampant gambler. She adores any sort of card game, even if it's not played for money. Probability is a huge component of card games, and with how invested she is in math, it's only an advantage for her. It's a really nice contrast to all of her work in that it's a bit looser, a bit less frigid. She doesn't like slots or lottery tickets or any of that flimflam (she believes it's all simply rigged anyways), but card games amongst friends are something she loves because the game is relatively different every time. She doesn't like Yugioh or Magic or any cards that aren't like a normal deck of cards- if you asked her, she wouldn't even know what those things were. If you're not careful, she might bilk you out of a few dollars though.
Yoga: Being that she's incredibly controlled, Ada practices yoga to relieve her tensions and stress. With all of the working and activity going on in her mind, it helps ease all of the tensions that come with working so hard. She actually teaches the occasional yoga class as a side job, but not very often and not horribly professionally. She likes stretching herself out after a long day at work.
Virtues: Resolute: Ada has a very strict sense of wrong and right. She is resolute in each decision she makes, sure of each flick of her pinkie. This doesn't necessarily mean her moral code is a righteous one. Her moral compass leans far closer to anarchy than most, but the point still stands that she is a strong decision maker. She stands behind the choices she makes, and will defend them voraciously. It doesn't necessarily make her stubborn, as stubbornness implies an unwillingness to change; she's welcome to changing the plan at any time, so long as it still remains a plan that
she decided on. Things that would make her change her mind include logical deductions and reason; she follows whatever is most beneficial to herself. While this isn't entirely virtuous, her virtue lies in her decision making abilities and her concrete determination.
Industrious: If you couldn't guess by her hobbies, Ada is a hardworker. She always finishes what she begins, never ceasing to outdo herself. She is a mild perfectionist, and feels uneasy if she isn't working or being productive- it's very rare to see her slouching around. Of course, like every human she gets tired and overworked, but overall Ada enjoys being on top of her game.
Farsighted: Accompanied with her industrious attitude, Ada has a knack for planning. She hardly ever does anything unless she thinks it through- there's a plan for everything! She tries to see the consequences of actions in advance, preferring foresight to acting hastily. It makes for occasionally second-guessing herself, but overall she simply seeks to use her mind over her gut.
Flaws: Stingy: Ada isn't thrifty, to say the least. She has expensive tastes, and doesn't mind spending a pretty shibboleth on herself. The problem is that she doesn't like spending on
other people. She's incredibly parsimonious with not only money, but her possessions and her time. Ada has a major problem with giving selflessly- to her, everything has a price tag. Her entire scope of vision is very egocentric and it makes it hard to see past her own needs and wants.
Opportunistic: Everything is a stepladder to a place where the grass is greener. Ada will, unfortunately, use every opportunity she's given to rise in the ranks of whatever she's doing. Like stated above, her moral code isn't the most righteous device; it's slightly tilted because she uses others' downfalls to her advantage. It doesn't mean she lacks a heart- she still loves and feels pity, but if something is to her advantage she will use it. Whether that means co-workers that are behind on their sales, or a sales clerk that accidentally returned to much change, Ada will always choose the path that is most advantageous to her.
Sanctimonious: Following in suit, Ada believes that she is destined for greater things. Since she's always striving to be one rung higher on the ladder, there's a definite complex with her thinking she's higher up on the ladder than others. She recognizes superiority in officiated positions (such as boss, parent, nega-General, etc.) and is obedient to that hierarchy, but for her peers she believes she is somehow better. It isn't so blatant that she walks in the room and declares herself queen, but rather it comes out through subtle nuances in the way she talks to certain individuals.
