"*There is no mercy for the damned.*"
— Adina.

**Divine Chieftess Adina of the Heavenly Court** is a major antagonist in *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*.

Corrupt, bubbly, and straight-laced, Adina is the highest-ranking angel of the Heavenly Court and stands as the Divine Chieftess of Justice and Purification, making her one of the most powerful and respected angels in Heaven. She is also a benefactor of the Exterminators, though she lets her companion Azrael take charge to save face and maintain her control in a behind-the-scenes way, playing the archangel like a fiddle. With an unwavering, eerily calm voice and motherly smile which belies her merciless and ruthless nature, Adina is determined to purge creation of all "sin" as the ultimate tribute to God.

## Biography

### Events of *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*

#### Season 5

In "What's Up, Heaven?", Adina is watching over the denizens of Heaven from her chambers, whimsically flying through the air and making comments on the denizens' activities while giggling. Her scrying is interrupted by a visit from Azrael and Lute. The archangel informs Adina that they have recovered Charlie's Angels and returned them to Heaven. Adina is amused by the idea of mere angelic children (who she dubs the "Children of Light") finding their way into Hell and has a laugh at it. Upon hearing Lute's concerns about the children potentially being corrupted by demons while they were lost in Hell, Adina briefly muses over purging the children, though she opts to let Azrael see if he can correct them. Through Azrael and Lute's report, Adina hears of the Hazbin Hotel and its intentions to redeem sinners. She is disgusted and offended by what the hotel stands for, declaring her unshakable belief that the only way to "save" the damned is to destroy their souls. Her fears grow upon recalling that Lucifer's daughter is at the helm of the project. Adina declares her and Azrael's intention to destroy the hotel and its inhabitants, cheerfully declaring that it is the will of the Lord. Adina indulges in a melodic musical number revolving around her corrupt beliefs, bragging about the demons she has erased and cleansed in tribute to God, or sometimes just for no apparent reason at all. The end to her song is capped off by Azrael going on an overly-long, self-indulgent guitar solo, until Adina calmly requests him to stop while her hands are clasped in a prayer.

In "Hell 2 Heaven", Adina briefly interacts with Charlie's Angels as they peruse Heaven and its wonders. While telling them to enjoy their stay and refrain from causing any trouble, Adina puts her hand on Manco's head, which allows her to read his mind for but a moment, seeing everything he has witnessed while the child is none the wiser. After this, Adina rhetorically asks Manco if he happens to know the whereabouts of Heaven's Light, and Manco nervously says he doesn't. Knowing he is lying, Adina just stares at Manco with a smile, saying nothing before leaving.

Adina leaves, and despite her subtly warning them not to, the children tells another group of young saints of the hotel, and word quickly spreads across Heaven itself of the hotel and its intentions, with many angels supporting the hotel and willing to fight for it (provided the sinners within are completely reformed), while a select few view it as an "abomination".

Later in Hell, while Charlie is on top of the Hazbin Hotel, gazing up at Heaven and trying to let go of the eight angels and accept that they are in a much better and safer place, an astral projection of Adina very suddenly appeared behind the Princess, cheerfully greeting the startled demon princess. Adina tells Charlie that the children are doing great in Heaven before looking around at Hell, making passive-aggressive comments about its state. Realizing her chance, Charlie tries to explain her hotel to Adina when the angel comments on it, but Adina makes it clear that she is very aware of Charlie's hotel and politely tries to tell the princess that an accord between Heaven and Hell will never be reached as it is in the nature of demons to oppose everything good and noble. Being rejected by yet another higher angel leaves Charlie feeling more defeated than Adina realizes. Adina, however, offers Charlie an accord; sensing Charlie's angelic heritage, Adina tells Charlie that she is "different" from the other demons in Hell, and that she is possibly worthy of residing in Heaven. Adina offers to guide Charlie towards the path of Heaven and "purify" her, removing her of all her demonic traits. Charlie thinks it over, telling Adina that she would love to become an angel, but has concerns about losing all the traits that make her who she is. Adina tells Charlie that demons cannot go to Heaven if they are sinful, and while Charlie would be essentially a different person, it is for the greater good. After some contemplation, Charlie politely rejects Adina's offer, since Hell is her home and she had promised to stay with her friends until they are helped and reformed. Adina's tone darkens as she giggles, saying she expected Charlie's pride to get the better of her, being the daughter of the Sin of Pride. After telling Charlie that her hotel will change nothing, Adina says she has one more thing to discuss before leaving, and says that she wants the Light of Heaven returned to its home.

Charlie is obviously reluctant to give Lux up, but Adina says that Heaven's Light is the property of Heaven and rightfully belongs to the angels. Overhearing this, Lux appears and angrily tells Adina off, offended and heart-broken by being referred to as mere "property". Seeing the new state of Heaven's Light, Adina accuses Charlie of corrupting light itself, and threatens to brings the rage of the heavens upon Hell and blow the Inferno to Kingdom Come. Adina cheerfully taunts Charlie that in her efforts to bring peace between Heaven and Hell, she has now brought on a war between them. Adina's projection then abruptly vanishes.

## Personality

"*The notion of trying to redeem those who have fallen against the grace of the Heavenly Father is absurd and a waste of time and energy. One cannot simply absolve their sins, but can only truly seek forgiveness by undergoing a torturous and painful punishment. And if the Fallen One's own spawn is at the helm of this endeavour, the Lord only knows what poison and devilry they seek to spread and normalize... So, we will do what any rationally-minded, righteous angels would do, my dear Azrael... and purge them all. Every single one of them. In the glorious name of the Most High. Such is the will of the Lord... So it shall be...*"
— Adina.

On the surface, Adina seems like how one would envision an angel; she moves with beauty, grace, and with a theatrical flair in all her movements. She has an eloquent and almost sing-songy speech pattern, and keeps a warm, serene smile on her face and gentle tone of voice at all times. With a noble demeanor, she is a very strong believer in God and order, imposing fundamentalist interpretations of law and order upon Heaven, purveying a black-and-white outlook on the world, and enforcing impossible standards of perfection that are all too easy to fall short of. She has a stoic response to nearly everything, with positively nothing being able to catch her off-guard. Graceful, Adina carries herself with remarkable composure, adept at concealing her emotions and silly tendencies, even going to great lengths to stifle excessive enthusiasm. She engages in respectful and measured discourse with her peers among the higher-ranking angels, carefully adhering to decorum and protocol. However, when it comes to interactions with the common angels, her demeanor becomes more succinct and she frequently employs her designated speaker to communicate on her behalf, maintaining a degree of distance in her exchanges with them.

In truth, however, Adina embodies the puritanical corruption that plagues modern Heaven, having an extreme hatred for demons and believing that they are beyond rehabilitation, and the only way to save them is to have them destroyed. She has allowed her beliefs to corrupt her to the point of madness, and is convinced that everything she does - including the brutal torture and purging of demons - is for the greater good or part of God's will. Her superficially gentle and kind face acts as a perfect mask to hide her merciless, dogmatic, and intolerant ways, as she always smiles and remains calm even when she is purging demons or at a disadvantage, giving off the feeling of always being in control of any situation. She is proper in her disposition, but also rather playful and condescending, showing a streak of dry wit and a fondness for platitudes. She tends to "comfort" the demons she tortures by telling them that creation will be a better place because of their suffering and deaths.

Displaying a mild sadistic and very cruel streak, she prefers to purge demons torturously as repentance for their wrongdoings, making them endure the same pain and agony their victims had to endure. In her musical number, she bragged about the demons she has erased and cleansed in tribute to God, or sometimes just for "giggles" and "funsies".

Adina, although she maintains a façade of strict decorum and aversion to what she deems "eccentricities," harbors a delightfully whimsical and vivacious side hidden from the prying eyes of others. She possesses an unabashed adoration for confections, particularly a fondness for chocolate, which she unabashedly consumes to the point where her face is adorned with smudges of the sweet treat, sometimes in front of her cohorts. The other angels have also observed her meticulous preferences when it comes to the preparation of her candies. When Adina's beloved chocolate isn't prepared to her exacting standards, she tends to express her disappointment through a veil of passive-aggressiveness. She would subtly convey her dissatisfaction to her servers, often declining their offer to remake it, which leads to them retreating to the kitchen with heavy hearts, sometimes even shedding a tear or two over their perceived failure to meet her expectations.

In the privacy of her solitude, Adina engages in peculiar behaviors. She carries conversations with portraits, engaging in animated dialogues with inanimate subjects. During her moments of repose, such as being immersed in a bath, she finds amusement in crafting demon-shaped constructs from the frothy bubbles, playfully enacting a ritual of exorcising them from the depths of her bathwater.

She is an intelligent, dreaded, and very manipulative master of deception as well, especially towards Azrael, exploiting the fact that he sees her as a mother figure and using it to increase her position of power, since Azrael is Morningstar royalty. She later showed her cunning by playing Charlie's Angels like a fiddle, and attempted to sway Charlie into abandoning Hell and joining Heaven, on the condition that the princesses' demonic side be erased and exorcised so that Adina could mold her in the image of God.

## Appearance

Adina is a statuesque angel graced with porcelain skin, cascading ivory locks, cyan-hued eyes with matching sclera, and a pair of colossal, pristine wings. She dons an opulent, flowing white gown, adorned with cyan gradients and accented by cross motifs along the edges. Completing her ethereal ensemble is a sizable cyan bow tie, intricately patterned with crosses that embellish the graceful trails of its twin tails.

	+ **Cerebrokinesis**: Adina can manipulate the minds of sinners in order to torture them and cause them to go insane, eventually dissolving from sheer anguish, forcing them to relive all the worst memories of their lives and their biggest regrets, as well as putting them through all of the agony they has inflicted on other people.
		- **Mind-Reading**: Adina was able to see Manco's memories in an instant by simply placing her hand on the boy's head, with Manco himself being none the wiser to her doing so.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Azrael

Adina is one of Azrael's closest confidants and partners. Despite her gender, she is, along with Lute, one of the few angels capable of pacifying the archangel. She dotes on Azrael like a mother would a child, preying on the fact that he is, in fact, motherless. Azrael regards her as something of a mother figure as he never had one and she exploits this to control him as much as possible.

## Quotes

### Season 5

"*Mercy, forgiveness, and redemption for sinners... Such things are absolute hogwash created by the devil himself! Sinners must be exterminated for the sake of keeping the world free of their taint, their filth, their depravity for the sake of God and all of His children!*"
— Adina.

"*I thoroughly enjoy punishing sinful beings. This pleases the Lord, and He rewards me greatly for my efforts. My only grievance, really, is that there is so much time between exterminations. Why wait a year? Why not punish billions of souls more regularly? I could surely handle the workload!*"
— Adina.

"***Adina**: You have something special, princess. Despite your obvious connection to the devil, there's something about you that intrigues me. Perhaps you **are** worthy of Heaven and not Hell. (Adina extends her hand to Charlie) I could guide you towards the path of the light, and remove the... Less desirable qualities about you.
**Charlie**: (Charlie looks at Adina's hand) Well... I mean... I would **love** to see Heaven for myself. It's been something I've wanted to do since I was a kid... But how would you go about doing it? Wouldn't I have to give up the things that make me, well... Me?
**Adina**: (Adina nods with a smile) Of course! Despite your light, you are still very much a demon and must give up your sinful ways. I will make you into an image of the Lord's light! Free of any icky 'quirks' and sins, and such. Of course, you'd have to leave your 'patients' behind, but it's for the greater good.
**Charlie**: Well... I'm afraid I have to decline, then. As much as I appreciate your offer, Hell is my home... It's a part of me I'll **always** want to carry, no matter what. And I made a promise to my people that I wouldn't give up on them until I knew for sure they were ready for Heaven. I hope you understand...
**Adina**: (Adina lowers her hand and lets out a disappointed sigh, still smiling slightly) Of course I understand... You are the spitting image of your father! A chip off the old block of pride! The stubborn and prideful heart of a demon... Your upbringing in Hell has influenced your mind to the point of madness. You have... **no idea** the horrors that lie ahead. And yet, you choose to stay and help... I truly pity you, but you should not expect your little hotel to bring about the change you claim is possible. I have seen billions of sinners like yours, and believe me when I say it's not pretty when it's time for their ultimate judgment. It's **beautiful**, really.*"
— Adina's deal to Charlie.

## Trivia

* She is obviously based on the scrapped character of the same name from the *ZooPhobia* webcomic.
* Her theme song would be "I Am the Fire" by Halestorm.
* Adina has a notable sweet tooth but she doesn't let that spoil the fun in her job as an enforcer of divine law and retribution.
	+ When Vaggie was in Limbo, Adina was one of the angels who had voted for Vaggie to be condemned to Hell.
* Adina's role in Season 5 was intended to be significantly larger. However, her role in the season was shortened, both due to the time and the creators' interest in her playing a major role in a potential Heaven-based spin-off taking place after Season 5.
