Full Name: Adelaide Lorelei Abbey
(Pronounced: AH-del-aid. LORE-eh-lee. A-bey)
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Power(s): Adelaide is capable of seeing the past steps of other people, and animals. When she sees the world, it is littered with footprints of many species. They glow faintly, in a unique color to represent themselves that is similar to a fingerprint. The light that they produce fades with age, and eventually begins to disappear itself as time drags on. After about 10 years, they are gone completely. Adelaide is able to determine which footprint belongs to which person, but only if it is bright(new), and if she has seen the person or animal in question leave the marks in the past. After about 2 years, she can no longer pick out whose prints they are, though she is still capable of following them for a couple more years.These footprints are not limited to the ground, and can be seen slightly above the ground(people in cars, bikes, or on horseback), and barely visible bands in the sky(planes). These, however, are just streaks hanging in midair and are extremely difficult for Adelaide to figure out who they belong to. These glowing footprints never leave Adelaide's gaze, and have become much more than an annoyance when she is not tracking someone. They cause migraines and disorientation, especially when there are a lot. The only escape is when she closes her eyes, and even then, the brightest tracks shine through. She has difficulty sleeping with te constant glow, and finds that the only escape from the constant light is to isolate herself for long periods of time. These tracks can also be very confusing to her, especially when she is trying to follow them. For example, a set of prints could walk straight into a wall, because the wall was not there when the person or animal walked there. Adelaide considers this power of hers to be more of a curse than a gift.
Appearance: Adelaide is 5'1" in height, being a little short for her age. She is small in stature and width, which can make her appear even shorter than she truly is. She is skinny, but not close to unhealthily so. Her light, dirty blonde hair falls down her back in messy, wavy strands, reaching an end at the base of her shoulder blades. She has a couple streaks of light brown in her hair, but they are natural and faint. It is difficult to see them unless the sun is reflecting off of her hair.
Adelaide has light brown eyes that are the color of milk chocolate that is half melted in your hands. Her face is not particularly attractive, but by no means is it ugly. It is just somewhat plain, and does not catch a person's gaze easily. Her skin is fair and clear, though at her age, clear skin is not particularly inordinately.
She has not even considered getting tattoos or piercings, mainly because her whole life she has been told she is too too young for such things. She does, however, find no flaw with wearing jewelry, and pretty necklaces and bracelets are a favorite of hers to wear. She is almost always seen with some sort of 'bracelet' around her wrist, though it is often a old and rusting chain or a couple pieces of string. She does, however, have a pretty necklace, with a shiny silver chain and a small turtle charm, that she holds very dear to her. She rarely wears it, and keeps it for special occasions.
The only blemishes to her soft skin would be she small amount of freckles that dotted her face and shoulders, a birthmark on her left side, and a scar that scratches across the back of her neck. It is an old mark, and is made of two separate scratches that appear to have been created by a feline's claws.
This girl takes very little time deciding her outfit. She often simply throws on whatever she has, which is mainly t-shirts and shorts or jeans. She does have a few nice dresses, but saves them for very special occasions, as she cannot just go out and get another whenever she wants to. She usually wears older, pink and black tennis shoes or pale blue flip flops, depending on the weather. A navy blue or soft brown bandana is usually holding her hair back, the bandanas being tied into headbands with the knot on the top of her head.
Adelaide does not carry herself with pride. Instead, she is often seen with low, defeated shoulders and the slightest slouch. She is very expressive with her face, making t easy to decide her emotion. Happy, upset, confusion, anger, and nothing. An emotion that is seen on her face quite often is her blank expression, her expression of nothing. This usually happens when she gets submerged into her thoughts, or begins to daydream.
Personality: Adelaide is a quiet girl, though not quite shy. She simply finds that others can often find ways to communicate without speaking. She only talks when she finds it worth doing so, and is poor at idle conversation and small chat. When she attempts such things, she often finds herself flustered and anxious, lost for words as she tries to think of something to say.
She really is a sweet girl, even if she does not talk very often. Her compassion shines through occasionally, but she is often scared away from helping others simply because she would have to talk to them. Her fear of being hated only gives another reason to not approach others. If they do not know you, they cannot hate you, right? Even so, she does manage to socialize, even though it usually only happens when she is working with someone else. Teamwork brings out yet another problem. She easily picks out details, and finds that spotting flaws takes even less effort. When she works with others, she often finds do many flaws with what the other people are doing that she either tries to do it herself, or gives up entirely. She usually does this whole still keeping up her kind demeanor, though she has been known to snap of occasion.
Adelaide does not deal with stress, nor anger well. Stressful situations eat away at her until she cannot handle them anymore, and she then sometimes claims to be sick, or uses other methods to get away from her stressors. When she gets angry, she tends to have a list of steps that she follows. 1. She attempts to ignore whatever is angering her. 2. If it persists, she will leave the scene. If she is unable, she will 'politely' ask them to stop. 3.If the person follows her or continues after she asked nicely, she begins to yell. And then 4. She will cry and tell the nearest older kid that she is able.

Adelaide is smart, and retains information easily. This is an important strength of hers, as she is known to miss school for various reasons. This prevents her from falling too far behind.
History & Family: Adelaide was born in Michigan, United States on November 14, 1999. Her birth parents names are unknown, though they were with Adelaide for much of her life, even after she was handed over for government testing. She was a part of a top secret investigation to figure out of too notch personnel could instill powers into young children to see if they could make then gifted. And then they could be used in battle. Adelaide was one of the 4 children chosen to be a tracker, and a specially chosen and trusted surgeon was to make her track. Able to track anything, as they were still trying to figure out how to make such a thing happen in a human. How were they supposed to figure out how to make a human do such a thing to help them find other humans?
It took 3 children's experimentations and deaths to figure it out. The other children before Adelaide died while in brain surgery, leaving just Adelaide for their last attempt. She was 2 when the surgery began, and nearly died. But she somehow managed to live through it, and ever since then she could see the bright, colorful, footprints.
At first, the footprints she saw were nothing more than pretty things that now filled her gaze. But by the time she was 4, the colorful and fun tracks began to cause her headaches. She started to find them annoying, and soon hated them for the pain they caused her.
When she was 7, she began to train to be a tracker. She worked hard, eager to please the 5 people she had grown to recognize as parents. Little did she know, her birth father was among them, and her mother was always watching cautiously behind the 1-way window. Adelaide caught onto their training quickly, and became a skilled tracker at a young age. Even so, she still had many limits such as the age of the tracks, how many tracks there were around, and whether she knew who was what color.
At 10, her caretakers became bored with the constant and almost tedious training. She had not improved. She had not become worse. She was stagnant. They decided, without full approval of her mother, or their superiors, to send her on a mission. She was to find a runaway criminal and to bring him back to base. But with the terrible migraines that he had so commonly faced, she worried that she would be incapacitated halfway through the mission. But she accepted and began anyways.
She had never seen so many tracks in her life. The millions of colors, varying in their brightness, clogged her senses. She somehow managed through the pain in her head and the blindness in her eyes into an old cave, uninhibited by people. The lack of tracks soothed her, other than her own bright white prints that led out of cave.
She stayed there for years, venturing out only for food, and when she did not want to face the tracks she roasted and ate bats. She was rather self sufficient, at least until a cave in forced her out of her haven when we was nearly 13.
She slowly reintroduced herself to the tracks, inching farther out into town for longer periods of time. By the time she was 14, she was able to intermingle in the town. The first time she went fully into town was when she was found by her caretakers. They took her into custody, but soon found out that she was not nearly as good of a tracker in the real world. They sent her to Foresta Academy to try and help her skills grow.
She has been able to make it easier for herself to track with more prints around, but it is still very difficult and she is still forced to deal with the persistent migraines.
In Character sample: Adelaide lay in her bed, over her dreary grey comforter and light blue blanket. Her body was relaxed, and she appeared to be asleep. But her light brown eyes were peeled open, reflecting the light that filtered under her door and into the dark room. The only other light source being the bright white glow of her footprints, and a dark blue, a silvery grey, a soft yellow, and a pale green-all but her own faded slightly, but all brightly shining in the dark room.
Adelaide stared at her ceiling, listening to the loud conversation outside of her room. None of it had much meaning hidden in it. All it was, was a hello, how are you?
How was your day?
You look pretty in that shirt!
All polite, kind, and stupid talk of the 'normal' girls. The people that seemed to always know what to say.
Those that could speak, could prosper.
But Adelaide wanted to do far more than prosper. She strived to live. And her oh so special power continued to get in the way.
She rolled over, desperate for sleep. Her eyes shut, a futile attempt to keep out the lights. But sleep came, as she got some of the sleep she deserved.
That was until the girls outside of her dorm woke her up with a terribly loud laugh.
Adelaide snapped brutally from her peaceful sleep. She turned to the door, her gaze sharpening with anger. Why couldn't they just shut up! She rolled over, smashing her pillow against her face. But it was unneeded, as the crowd outside her door soon parted, and retreated to their own beds.
Sighing in relief, Adelaide shifted in her bed, shuffling around in her sheets until she was perfectly comfortable, despite the glow of tracks shining behind her eyes. She soon fell asleep despite it, sheer exhaustion forcing her into her dreams.
