Adeline is a determined and goal oriented person. She sets her mind after something and she goes after it. as long as she has a task she is happy, she hates being idle and having nothing to do. In her spare time she will work out and dance. The only time she is not completely focused on a task is when she sleeps. This can make her a rather intense person to be around. She takes her possessions seriously and doesn't like anyone touching them without her express permission. She is also very loyal and trustworthy, secrets are kept to the grave and she will always help a friend in a pinch. She has a great stage presence and can put forward an extremely likable and positive persona. In truth she is a little socially awkward and distant.

Bio:

Adeline was born to a lower middle-class family. Her parents worked as Bakers in a poor province of Russia and she had several siblings. Her mother was Russian and her father was a French man who had married her after immigrating. Addie doesn't remember them very well because at the age of five she was recruited to join the students of the Russian Ballet in the hopes that she would eventually be able to help support them.

Addie started of a one of many children. She slowly started to surpass her classmates with her innate determination and ability. She was determined and stubborn, practicing moves until she bled and her muscles ached. Adeline knew nothing but ballet and focused all her time and effort towards it. She would often sneak backstage in the theater to watch the ballet and after being caught and thus punished frequently, she taught herself to be stealthy and silent.
Her focus and skill didn't mean she was disliked. As she got older she would often help younger students, and even those in her own age class, with technique and tips. She was charming and social, and people were drawn to her. It was virtually impossible to dislike Addie.

At the age of 16 she made her debut to roaring success. She started touring with the troop and had to work even harder. She gained many admirers and fans, although she became increasingly isolated in her personal life. She was often invited to various parties and public events, danced with handsome men and princes. But she had no real friends. Her focus became earning enough money to send home to her family. She approached life with Logic and Determination, using her charm and popularity to gain patronage and funding in her carer.
She started to view any who approached her as either a way to gain funds or someone who wanted something from her.

When she was 18 Addie gained a particularly persistent admirer. He often sent her presents and flowers, doting notes and poetry. He came to every show, even traveling far and wide to watch them. At any event she was invited to he would do his utmost to capitalize her time, and got increasingly jealous and possessive when she paid attention to other or they paid attention to her.

On the final night of her performance as The Firebird in The Firebird at the Russian Ballet he was waiting for her in her dressing room. (It was often thought that Ballerinas were nothing more than courtesans and prostitutes, and Addie had often been propositioned. She refused every time). He was enraged, believing Addie had been consorting with men after her shows, that she had been "disloyal" to him.
Adeline frankly informed him, that she had none no such thing, but even if she had it would be none of his concern because they had no relationship to speak of. She opened her door and demanded he leave. He rushed her, slamming the door closed and grabbing her from behind. He was much taller and wider than her and had the advantage, he smashed her head against her mirror. While she was disoriented her pulled a knife out of his pocket and slit her throat.

He was found later that evening, still in the dressing room, covered in her blood, rocking her body and apologizing.
 

***********************************

She woke in the field clutching her favourite black toe shoes.
She adapted rather well to her death and sudden apprenticeship. After her initial rage that she had been killed by that petty Хуй at the height of her career she was grateful to have something else to focus on. As long as she could still practice her ballet she went about her tasks with vigor and eagerness to learn.

Addie has a great respect for death, is even a little intimidated by the idea of her, if not of death herself. She is content in her role, she loves having structure and a purpose, she would be miserable in an existence with no clear goal or outcome to achieve and thrives under the pressure and structure of being an apprentice. She also enjoys the more relaxed environment and not having to worry about someone else taking her place and being pushed out of the spotlight and her career. She gets to talk to more people and actually have friends. All in all the only thing she regrets about her new life is not being able to provide for her family, but this in itself is also a relief.
