Adrielle Hollowtide

* Incorporeal white neon wings that drip down to a blue-purple-pink watercolor *(Aasimar form)*

Adrielle Hollowtide is an avid astronomer and seeker of knowledge and truth. She is patient and kind while explaining things, but she does have an impulsive streak when going after things she desires. While working under the royal family, she has come dangerously close to finding out information about the Wildes, only to be shut out of the conversations and meetings. She seeks answers about what is outside of their little world, but will she be the same when she finds them?

## Description

### Appearance

Adrielle stands about 5'4, with purple eyes and long platinum blonde hair. Her skin is medium with a hint of warmth, as if she was just playing in the sun. She has white freckles going across her cheeks. You can find her in skirts, or dresses, or anything that denotes her femininity. She knows gender is a construct, but the dressing up is always fun. If you look closer, there are images of planets and stars woven into her clothing.

She is always sporting a silver astrolabe necklace around her neck that was given to her by Queen Nakada on the eve of her 25th birthday.

In her Aasimar form, Adrielle sprouts incorporeal neon wings that are white and drip into a blue-purple-pink watercolor-esque vision towards the bottom.

### Personality

Adrielle is very studious, living in the castle from an early age can do that to you. She is always finding books, new information, and is chasing the knowledge around her. From reading and studying, she has learned a great deal of patience and it comes across in her daily life as well. However, it is said that she is massively conflict avoidant, and will often avoid her own wants, desires, and needs, in order to placate others.

## Biography

### Background

Adrielle Hollowtide was born to an Aasimar couple who fled Kyrthys as soon as she was born. She was soon adopted by her parents Kenneth and Millicent Hollowtide, and they were brought to live in Alpinoble. Adrielle didn't know this at the time, but the Ossyrov crown and the Arcaenon believe the Aasimar to be close to divinity. So those who raise and those who are Aasimar, ascend to nobility immediately.

Adrielle grew up in the castle, her parents off tending to noble duties, and being "too busy" to take care of her. She immersed herself in books, in studies, or in the gardens in Alpinoble. As she began to grow into the Cleric she was becoming, it was clear that she had a desire for knowledge. While in the castle, Adrielle became close to Gideon Osmund and Current and would sometimes talk to Mysha Ossyrov as well.

On the eve of her 25th birthday, Adrielle was sneaking out of the castle when she heard Mysha yelling from the Gardens. And when she looked, she noticed Mysha within a grapple with an assailant holding a knife to their throat. Adrielle swooped into action, her emotions overcoming her. She did save Mysha's life, but at what cost?

### Season 1

In 101 - Change of Fate, Adrielle is chosen as Mysha's champion to go into the Wildes.

## Relationships

### Acquaintances

* **Neith Alder**: An elder of the Arcaenon who is regularly in charge of assigning tasks to young graduates, overseeing their work, and disciplining them when necessary (which Adrielle only has second-hand experience with). Believes Adrielle can do no wrong and is the best the Arcaenon has to offer.
* **Astrid Vilchis**: Peer of the castle kids, who is snarky to Adrielle because she's jealous of the attention they receive from the Hierophants and the Arcaenon as a whole.
* **Hierophant Y'vonne To'ten**: Leader of Valara which is Adrielle's branch of the Arcaenon. Has personally assigned them assignments in the past, which is a rare occurrence.

### Significant Relationships

#### Gideon Osmund

Gideon and Adrielle have been life long friends, as they both have grown up in the castle along with Current. As they continued to study in the Arcaenon, Adrielle and Gideon grew closer, and began dating about a year before the campaign started. Gideon was Adrielle's first relationship, and they dated for 6-7 months before being "driven apart".

#### Current

Current is Adrielle's best friend. Along with Gideon, they all grew up in the castle together. Current and Adrielle both studied under the Arcaenon and with the strict supervision from the castle, they both bonded over their desire for knowledge. After Gideon and Adrielle's breakup, Adrielle leaned heavily on Current to get through that difficult period of time. They also have bonded over the truths of them both being adopted.

#### Mysha Ossyrov

Adrielle and Mysha have known each other for a number of years, growing up in Ossyrov Castle together (though Mysha is not a member of the Arcaenon). On the eve of her 25th birthday, Adrielle stumbled upon an assassins attempting to kill Mysha and she saved their life. Months later, at the Arcaenon's assembly, Mysha chose Adrielle as their champion to represent their claim to the crown in the Wildes.

#### Corvin Barrick

A year above Adrielle at the Arcaenon academy, Corvin stayed on castle grounds after graduating. She idolized them because of how quickly he could gain truth and knowledge, and the access they had to important meetings and spells. He invited Adrielle to the Crimson Ball (the Arcaenon “prom”), but stood them up. That tainted a lot of her feelings around dating, grand gestures, and displays of affection, but also their feelings about events that could be viewed as “frivolous”, like balls or galas. This pushed her to focus on her studies even more. While they still see one another around the castle, Adri avoids him as much as they can.

#### Winona Fytefair

Adrielle finds themselves strangely drawn to Winona, due to her confidence and "ability to kick ass".

## Trivia

* Together with Gideon & Current, the castle kids abolished the gendered policies of the Arcaenon (which had previously been very narrow-minded about gender roles and gender identity) by openly announcing their pronouns at their graduation ceremony.
* The necklace Adrielle was given by Queen Nakada for saving Mysha's life belonged to the queen of the first war, back when civilization still lived on Acrimon.
