And to say I don't like my name would be an understatement. Well, technically, I like each of the names separately, but the whole? It just sounds weird, at least to me. So I would rather not to be called by my full name, thank you very much. Adele will do just fine, as well as any variations of that. There were times when people thought it would be funny to call me Cherry, but that didn't turn out too well for them. So yeah, stick with Adele." age: two-hundred and twenty-eight, but looks about twenty. race: grim reaper grim reaper squad: squad two. sexuality: bisexual death scythe: Adele's scythe takes the form of a pruning saw (click), with a 14 inch blade and a white handle with a floral pattern engraved on it. personality strengths:

thunderstorms "Ah, I just love watching them... They're so, I don't know how to explain it, I just love it. You know those kids that curl inside their beds as a thunderstorm starts and don't come out from there? Well, I probably was the kid who bolted out of her bed and spent the whole night glued to the window watching it happen. I would know, i do it now."
music "Yeah, sounds pretty generic I know, but it's kinda one of my favorite things in the world. And before you go asking, I'm really one of those people who can listen to anything, as long as I like it, so no, I don't really have a set style. okay, so maybe i enjoy heavy metal more than the rest, but seriously, i listen to a bit of everything."
coffee "In fact, I don't like coffee, I kinda addicted to it. Seriously, i don't remember when it started, but i do know that ever since i can remember I've been completely hooked on that stuff. I simply can't function until I get my daily fix of coffee"
rain "So I'm way over that phase when I loved to walk in the rain just for the heck of it... One too many colds taught me the lesson... Okay, okay, so maybe I still do it from time to time, but you'll hardly find me dancing there as you would a couple of years ago. Still, I can't stop to love the rain, it just seems to call me down for some reason."

dislikes:
warm days "It was kinda expected, seeing as I like cold weather... but what I really dislike about warm days is when they're warm and humid. You know, the moist sticks to your sick making you feel all sticky, and you can barely breathe? Yeah, I hate those days"
large crowds "I'm not agoraphobic or anything, but there's just something about being in a large group of people that annoys me. I just can feel at ease"
flowers "I bet you didn't saw this one coming did you? But it is true, I really dislike flowers. The only ones I ever tolerate are gerberas and sunflowers. Every other flower annoys me. Roses especially, I hate them with a passion. Yet, I have a floral pattern on my scythe. Well, forgive me for liking the irony. But no, that's a floral pattern, and not an actual flower. Those I'm okay with. Just not the real thing, you know?"

history: If one were to ask Adele about her life before she became a reaper, she would answer that she had only started to live after she died. And she won't speak much of her human years, claiming she has forgotten them. And she actually did. At least most of it anyway. Either way, she'd rather not talk about it.
Here's what is known of her human years.
She was born in Paris to a lower class family of four, and while they weren't exactly struggling to live, they couldn't claim their life was particularly easy, but they did got by and even though they didn't have much, they were happy. That was, of course, until her mother fell ill. Adele was ten at that time, and in the next two years she watched as her mother's health deteriorated slowly for they couldn't afford to have her treated. And so, a while after Adele had turned twelve, her mother died. Adele's father couldn't really cope with the situation and he started to became more and more closed off into himself, until the time came he stopped going to work. This forced Adele and her brother to take on jobs. They sufficed this way for quite some time, and things seemed to regain some of their normalcy. That was, of course, until Adele started to grow sick, with what it seemed to be the same decease that had taken her mothers life years before. She, of course, said nothing about it, and kept the whole thing hidden, forcing herself to believe that it was nothing and getting up each day to go to work. Until the day came and she was too weak to get up. From then on it was a matter of time before the decease consumed her and she died.
Why she became a Reaper after that is still unknown to her. She didn't really thought that could happen, let alone that of all humans on earth she would be deemed fitting for said job. Of course the first years weren't easy, especially cause she wasn't allowed to see her family (but then again, what would they think if they saw her walking through the front door like nothing had ever happened?). Yet, with time, she grew used to it, and forced herself to keep the memories from her family buried deep inside herself.
