● Pressed Flowers: Adrianna has a large leather notebook that she has filled over the years. However, the notebook is not filled with words or sketches like most would imagine. Instead, she has filled it with flowers and has pressed them.

Personality ● What do you get when you mix a rough childhood with an absent mother? Well, you get someone like Adrianna. Someone who at their core is miserable and just wants to be loved, but would never admit it. However, with years of experience she has learned to hide the vulnerable part of herself in exchange for the cunning and sensual side that ultimately turns deadly when necessary. Adrianna's ability to turn off her emotions is what makes her effective at her job.

Strengths
● Hardworking: Adrianna works very hard to achieve what is needed for her personal life and job. From a young age she has learned that the only person she can fully rely on is herself to get s**t done.
● Quick: Adrianna picks up new skills with ease and she is also very light on her feet. She is able to cross large stretches of land rather effortlessly.
● Approachable: People seem to gravitate towards Adrianna and find her easy to talk to. This helps her tremendously with her job (especially when she is made up and dressed up) but also within the guild. Having allies is important and is one of the ways she stays alive in this business.
Weaknesses
● Secretive: Got a secret and you want to keep it that way? Adrianna understands and will carry your secrets to the grave. She is also secretive about her emotions. For her, it is important that she keeps a strong front and that people never see her waiver.
● Private: Over the years many have asked Adrianna about her childhood or her parents but she refuses to speak about it. The truth is, she carries a level of shame with her. She wasn't good enough for her dad to stay around, good enough for her mom to stay sober, or good enough for her mother to clean up her act. So, what good is there in talking about it?
● Jaded: Due to everything that Adrianna has been through she is easily bored by being won over with jewelry and money. The men that she is paid to take out are very dim at times. What she is the most exhausted with though is men. Almost all men are the same to her and sadly she knows that majority of her feelings can be attributed to her job and childhood.

Biography
● Adrianna was born in Ishgar to a poor and homeless brothel worker named, Gwyneth DeLora. Due to her becoming pregnant and not willing to give her child up, her mother was ostracized from the brothel. The formative years of Adrianna's life were spent tucked close to her mother as she tried to obtain employment of any kind. Strangers would occasionally take pity on the young mother and her dark headed daughter, but majority were just trying to survive themselves. Desperate, her mother finally went back to the one thing she knew how to do, which was to sell her body.
Being young, Adrianna did not understand the turn over of strange men in her mother's life and where the money was suddenly coming from. While she had many questions as a child she was only ever really taught two things; 1.) Never question her mother & 2.) Do not let the men with her mother see her. Adrianna did not understand the second rule or the implications of it when she was little, but what it taught her was how to run fast and hide well.
When she was a pre-teen she stated to notice a cycle with her mother. Her mother would go off with men, come back to her with money, pay to rent a room somewhere, proceed to be unable to pay the rent due to drinking and buying unrealistic amounts of food, and then both would get kicked out of their lodging. Having unstable housing was trying on Adrianna. She would often see other girls her age with their mother's and they looked healthy and happy in the marketplace. Soon animosity towards her mother began to grow and create a wedge between the two.
At age thirteen Adrianna broke one of her mother's cardinal rules by accident and was seen by one of the men utilizing her mother's, "services," as she returned home and he was finishing getting dressed. She doesn't remember the man's face but she remembers his vulgar words and being chased in the night. That night a dwarf by the name of Orland intervened and saved her. After that night Adrianna made a pact with herself to never allow herself to be in a situation like that again.
Orland must have taken pity on her because when she approached him several days later asking to be taught how to protect herself, he agreed. The blacksmith taught her how to fight when business was light and her mother was preoccupied. He spent time with her teaching her hand to hand combat, how to fight with a dagger, intense drills, and how to preserve her energy. The hours of training, sore muscles, cuts and bruises finally paid off when Adrianna was seventeen. One day after leaving Orland's she came home to find her mother drunk and being attacked by a man. Instinctually, she attacked the man and managed to get him away from her mother before slitting his throat.
After that Adrianna's skills began to grow along with her reputation. Women would come to her in tears asking for her help and in exchanging providing money and food. Some wanted to be taught while other's wanted a more permanent solution to their problem. By then Adrianna was nineteen and she had attracted the eye of The Guild of Thieves for her quick attacks and smart kills. Around that same time she began to change her method. Instead of going in ready for the kill she would lure men with the promise of a night they would never forget before offing them via her dagger or poison.
However, Adrianna couldn't go off and join The Guild though. Her mother's health began to fail that same year and it was determined that the yellowing of her skin was secondary to years of heavy drinking and abuse to her body. Adrianna took care of her mother until she passed in her sleep three years later. A month after her mother's passing she left her little village and officially joined The Guild. For the past five years Adrianna has devoted herself to them and to her job.
