Adelaide Whitfield

## Introduction

**Adelaide "Addy" Whitfield** is a young woman from the town of Tumbleweed. She the last remaining member of a family of well respected bounty hunters.

## Biography

She was born and raised in Tumbleweed. A family of a father who worked for a bounty hunter and a mother who was a homemaker. She had six siblings of four brothers and two sisters. She was the third oldest overall as well as the oldest daughter. Their father was very adamant that the boys were taught the basics of reading, writing and simple math. Once they gained enough knowledge, they would join their father in the bounty business. The girls would stick at home and would keep up with the homemaking except for Addy.

Her father was able to sense that Addy wasn't interested in being a homemaker but knew she would face discrimination in his line of work. Whenever her mother was away, he would let Addy sneak off with his father's shotgun to the hills to hunt and collect dinner. Their agreement is that as long as he takes the credit, she could do it whenever mother was away.

The family were close friends with the Baker family that also resided in Tumbleweed. Their son, Austin, and her were always thick as thieves and normally suspected they were up to trouble when together.

### The Tumbleweed Massacre

One afternoon, Addy was off hunting with Austin about a mile out until they heard roars of people screaming and crying along with gunfire. The two crept up enough towards Tumbleweed to watch and witness the entire town, including their loved ones, being brutally murdered by various members of a gang that her father's organization have been hunting for.

While struggling with their own battle of grieving, the two of them vowed to stick together and have each others back as they knew they needed to move on. Being that they were only children, they had to constantly pick and choose who they could trust with anyone they encountered. One thing they never had difficulties with was disagreeing with each other as they both have similar morals.

### Growing Up

As the two got older, at one point Austin decided he wanted to go East. Addy decided she will stick out West for a while to handle their business arrangements, giving Austin enough time to establish himself out there.

The perks of moving around the West was gaining relationships to her benefit. She was able to receive enough education through various strangers to understand a majority of her alphabet as well as enough mathematics to complete addition and subtraction -- the two main things needed to keep up with the financial side of business.

### Reconnecting

It has been some time since Addy has heard from Austin as he went East. He knew he couldn't write her anything extensive unless he drew illustrations in his letters to help with it. She felt business has been handed off to the appropriate individuals so she could finally travel East to find Austin.

After days and days of travel, she ended up in Valentine late one evening. As a celebration to herself, she unpacked a bottle of Bourbon she's been saving for a special occasion and drank half of it to herself before passing out on a hill North of Valentine, looking over the town. Earlier today, Austin stumbled upon her and gave her a warm welcome to the East (a nice kick in the side to wake her drunk ass up).

Once she got herself together, she packed up and went into town where she met Mr. Marcus O'Gara. After the initial introduction, they began to travel to St. Denis. Along the trip, Austin began informing her of various individuals along the East that he wanted to meet and/or be aware of. As they rode into town, they went in to the Police department where he tossed her a badge before she even had a chance to decline if she wanted too.

The two ran into Sheriff Crawfish of Rhodes, Deputy Biggs of Rhodes and a female named Ana who is a cousin of Bobby. Bobby is an individual that Austin is eagerly excited to introduce to Addy. The crowd informed them of an event that occurred involving Ana, Johnny and a group of individuals. Addy vaguely remembers something about a Freeman or a wolf pack. Long story short, the men chose the wrong one to face and was met with their maker -- Ana's trigger finger.

Austin, Addy and Ana went and meant in one of the Theater's in St. Denis to gain a better understanding of the situation before heading off to the swamps to investigate further along with a string of abnormal murders that was mentioned to her. As they traveled in, they were unusually quiet. The two decided to head off to Rhodes.

While in Rhodes, Addy was able to get basic supplies of a knife, binoculars and a horse brush along with a double-barreled shotgun. Priorities, heh. Austin formally introduced her Sheriff Crawfish, Deputy Biggs and Aga "Swamp Baby".

Their final destination of the day was heading back to Valentine to meet with Mr. O'Gara as he requested to meet with Addy in a letter he sent to Austin. As they arrived, they found Mr. O'Gara having many drinks in the company of a Monroe and a Eric from Norway. Eventually, one of Mr. O'Gara's associates, Goldfish, joined us. After drinks and conversations of various events, they took a walk to the stables nearby. Austin decided he's going to help with the cost of her first horse, Addy picked out a perfect Mustang, grey in color - her favorite, named Hayes. The steed lacks of any training so she will receive a letter in the next couple of days to let her know once she's ready. She requested for him to just draw a horse doodle on the letter and she will know what it means.

Austin ended up passing out for the night in the O'Gara night while Addy rode back into town and passed out in one of the cells at the PD.
