Adelise Carrow

Adelise Claire Rosier

**Adelise Claire Rosier**, née **Carrow** (1913-1978) was one of Gellert Grindelwald's followers, though she escaped prosecution, along with her husband Henri Rosier, who was imprisoned for his commitment to the Dark wizard.

## Appearance

Like most members of the Rosier family, Adelise was classically attractive. She dressed to her wealth, sporting diamond necklaces and earrings and fur coats. She had full eyebrows, curly blonde hair, which was beautifully *coiffured* and amber eyes.

## Personality

Adelise believed in pureblood-supremacy, and was a follower of Gellert Grindelwald, who wished to conquer the world. Though Adelise claimed that her family always came first there is much to suggest she wasn't a very loving mother. She blamed her 8-year old daughter for not crying convincingly enough when Aurors came to take her father away, causing his arrest and imprisonment. She also had high expectations of all her children. She was also proud, careful

But Adelise's most defining trait was her ability to manipulate and lie convincingly. This gave her a talent for self-preservation and Grindelwald's respect.

## Biography

Adelise was born the youngest of three children in the powerful Carrow family. Her much older sister Adelaide (1897) became one of Grindelwald's most fervent followers when Adelise was still just a child.

Adelise attended Hogwarts from 1924 until 1930. She never finished her education because shortly after her seventeeth birthday she was married to Henri Armand Rosier. The match was suggested by Grindelwald himself, who wished to connect the two families he trusted most from his inner circle. Together, Adelise and Henri had four children:

* Evander Rosier (1930), who married and had two sons.
* Druella Lucille Rosier (1931), who married Cygnus Black III and had three daughters.
* Eldora Celine Rosier (1933)
* Cecily Josephine Rosier (1937)

Both Adelise and her husband were part of Grindelwald's most trusted advisors and acolytes, as were Henri's sister Vinda and Adelise's sister Adelaide. All of them killed on Grindelwald's command, but Adelise was smart enough to never leave a trace.

In 1945, Grindelwald was defeated by Albus Dumbledore and Henri was arrested. Adelise tried to stop the Aurors from taking Henri with passionate pleas, even using her youngest daughter as emotional bate, but to no avail. Vinda was found dead in the Rosier summer estate. In court, Adelise convincingly played the part of the innocent wife, using expert manipulation to escape prosecution. Because of her testimony, and the lack of evidence, Henri was finally cleared from all charges.

Adelise and Henri never spoke of their alliance with Grindelwald after his fall and lived a quiet life until their deaths.

## Trivia

* Adelise never showed remorse about her dark actions for Grindelwald, but never admitted to them in public either.
* She was once called "one of the most dangerous weapons Grindelwald had at his disposal".
* Many of Adelise's family members were connected to the two major Dark Wizards of the 20th century: Gellert Grindelwald and the Dark Lord. Her sister, husband, she herself and her sister-in-law were all Grindelwald's intimates. Her son Evander, grandsons and granddaughter Bellatrix Black were the Dark Lord's most loyal supporters.
* Most Headcanon and Fanon around her is derived from redrainofroses' interpretation and cosplay, such as her name, appearance and most of her history.
