➢ Empathy: Is capable of experiencing the emotions and sensations of those around her, and projecting her emotions/sensations to others. She self medicates to block out the bulk of the white noise of the earth (eavesdropping on emotional states is rude) with a specialty compound she created for this exact purpose. A great deal of her visible composure and apparent apathy comes from her own control and medication to not soak up all the hurt, joy, sorrow, anxiety of everyone in her immediate vicinity.

➢ Injury transferrence, receiving: Can absorb the pain or physical injuries of others with skin to skin contact, or upon greater familiarity with her patient (an emotional bond), distance.

➢ Injury transference, broadcasting: Can inflict injuries she's sustained or absorbed to another party, often one in self-defense. It takes a lot more focus and intent than absorbing another person's injury, the more grievous it is? The more difficult, and the more drained she'll be afterward.

➢ Emotional Radar: Can trace the general distance and direction of someone she's formed an emotional bond with, like plucking a strand on a spiderweb. It's imprecise but a good indicator of life if nothing else.
history
From a family of artists, generation upon generation of painters, dancers, actors, Adele remained an odd duck among her sisters. Not that she didn't try the whole 'do as the family dictates' thing while young, studying dance, training, performing, marked with a technical level of perfection but lacking in passion to the extent that it prevented her from landing a position on her own merit in the Parisian Ballet circuit. Her name would've given her a position as a quadraille but pride dictated she do something more with her life.

Something more ended up an American music student studying and living abroad in Paris, Robert was inoffensive, charming enough for a young woman to make an impulsive life choice. They dated, they married young, and when Adele shifted her focus to medical school? Their honeymoon period ended in a hurry. Clashing schedules and overtime spent studying to catch up on what she missed while failing to succeed as a ballerina. Estranged from her husband by timing, career, and circumstance? Robert has an Affair, gambles away most of their money, and ends up indebted to an unsavory criminal element in Paris.

After bailing out her husband and divorcing him for his indiscretions, dealing with said criminal element and surviving through sheer luck, Adele was content to work as a surgeon in Lyon, occasionally vacationing in the US to visit her brother and his in-laws, until the sky opened up. Separated from her family, uncertain of their survival, unable to create more of the medication that helps her manage her empathy, Adele works while roaming, supplies stacked on a wooden cart, using a horse to avoid being caught up by the Judge's Scrapper Soldiers in their quest for metal.
personality
Adele is pragmatic, proud, and paranoid at first glance; a reaction to her previous criminal dealings and the current state of the world. Survival isn't garunteed in the slightest, being on the move offers only so much solace.

When she has her composure she can come off as stoic or even apathetic depending upon the situation. She attempts to react as little as possible in order to focus more on what needs to be done rather than feelings hurt by curt words. When she loses her composure the full of her temper shows. Under all this there is a compassionate, playful woman who had her reality shaken, much like the rest of the world. The helplessness and near futile attempt to keep people alive, to continue surviving has left her wary and frustrated, covering her hurt with anger is easier than extending any kind of trust or camaraderie. People die so quickly, so often, it's difficult to know when she ought to put in the effort. Glimmers of who she used to be slip out occasionally, but it's rare, often when she's drinking or tending to younger people, being a bitch to teens and kids doesn't make the situation better for anyone.

Most gentleness she once had in treating her patients is stamped out by practicality. If she bleeds for each patient she'll have no blood left for anyone else. She doesn't gentle her speech if someone is acting dense, has little patience for fools and less for those that do. If she is treating a child Adele is patient and forgiving of their fear and foolishness. Despite her harsh demeanor, Adele does care for people- she simply does not trust them. No matter why a patient is in her care she treats them to the best of her ability. She may curse their idiocy with every stitch and pill but she will fix them. She does her job, she does it well, and if things become more difficult it only makes her all the more certain that it is worth being done.

When not working or studying she is somber but laxer with her speech, slightly less formal and more sarcastic. She prefers soft, cutting remarks rather than witty repartee unless she's speaking with someone she trusts or cares about, which are few. She does have a sense of humor; it's a dry, morbid one. It's not recommended to ever ask 'what's the worst that can happen' around her, Adele will list every probable option. In great detail.

Adele, above all else, needs to feel in control of herself. Any loss of composure is a failure as she holds herself to a high standard as what she assumes is the last member of, if not a famous bloodline, a noble enough one. Keeping composed, keeping calm in the face of the world they live in now is nigh impossible but she attempts it all the same so others feel comfortable breaking.
