## Appearance

Aurélie-Adele Adkins is a well-figured woman approximately 5'8" and described as "curvy". She is very fit, and at a very healthy weight. She has smooth light-to-medium brown skin, interrupted only by 5 surprisingly evenly-spaced dots under her left eye, arranged similarly to the 5-face of a die. She has a cloud-shaped, less-than-quarter-sleeve tattoo wrapping around her left arm at the chelidon. She is noted as having a very pretty face, with striking blue eyes, and minimal makeup, typically only wearing a bit of eyeshadow and lipstick to match her nail polish. She has strikingly unique hair, textured and curly; taking a sky-blue colour fading into a lighter blue and white, resembling clouds. Her most familiar outfit is a one-shoulder pink sheath dress reaching halfway down her thigh, with rose-gold accents. It has one sleeve, going off the shoulder on the right side and reaching to her palm with a hole for a thumb; and it has a gold strap on the other side, which Aurelie doesn't wear and opts to tuck under her arm. The dress has a sheer flare at the bottom, reaching past her knees. She typically pairs this dress with two detached gold barrel-cuffs around her wrists, knee-high black socks, and pink-and-gold heels. She also wears an iconic gold-coloured halo-like hair accessory, with subtle pink frills at the edges and a large, upside-down red heart shape which also harbours the clip of the accessory.

## Personality

Aurélie is known as a kind, well-meaning woman, who loves the spotlight and attention, but wants the best for her family and people around her, usually using her exposure to try and do good. However, she is as prone to flaws as anyone else, and a major flaw of Aurélie's is that she tends to act quite impulsively, is known not to think through actions, and is insensitive even at the best of times. She's well-meaning, but almost never watches her mouth. Surprisingly, this hadn't ever gotten her in too much controversy during her music career, aside from a few very minor squabbles. Though she comes across as elegant and somewhat mystical, she is anything but soft spoken, and actually quite sports-minded, surprisingly. During her marriage with Tategoto, she had a habit of being quite aggressive and at times rash; when the marriage got rocky, she would often bring the conflict to unnecessary volume. Still, she adhered to her husband's wishes and kept her family a complete secret in order to keep them out of the limelight. She is quite distant from her daughter, but still cares for and is protective of her.

## History

Aurélie-Adele Amour Adkins was born in London, England on July 27, 1974 to two Afro-French parents, with an older brother. She was born with Stand potential, but grew up relatively normally, getting an interest in music around the same time her older brother started playing violin. It was also around this time that she slowly began to learn of "Stands", in a more concrete sense, and began to more properly hone her ability she'd had since birth, finally able to summon her Stand around the age of 9. Her elder brother would, despite having his own grievances towards her as just about any brother would, be the one to tutor her about Stand Powers, being a Stand User himself. At around age 16, Aurélie participated in an exchange program going to Japan, where she bonded quite a bit with the 17-to-18-year-old delinquent son of her host family. Despite his demeanour and attitude, she found herself discovering he was rather soft-spoken and righteous when it all boiled down to it, as well as discovering his own love for music, something they were surprisingly able to bond over. While she was more than capable of defending herself, she found herself intrigued by a certain power he seemed to hold himself. She slowly gained some sort of feelings (whether romantic or platonic wasn't clear) towards him, despite the fighting and at times impolite attitude. At the end of the year, when it was time to go home, she thanked her hosts, gave a parting kiss (a cheek kiss, and a quite brief one) to the delinquent boy with a promise she'd come back some day and "show him how a girl can really fight", and said goodbye to the Hokusei family, only having minimal contact through letters and the such.

She continued pursuing music, even starting on her dreams of a music career, but had yet to gain any traction. In the meanwhile, at age 18, she took a job as a stewardess. And it was on this job, after a year or two, when she met a familiar face working as an in-training copilot...

It had taken her a moment to recognise him, as he'd come far from the delinquent 18-year-old he'd been when they'd met, but once recognition hit, reconnecting with Tategoto was easy. The two became close friends over the course of the next year or so, and then became romantically involved - conveniently, around the time Tategoto became an official pilot and Aurélie resigned from her job as a stewardess as her music career had gained traction. Though Tategoto's pilot job kept him pretty busy, Aurélie kept in close contact, and the two retained a steady relationship, able to improve upon the situation once Aurélie started becoming more famous and could travel more frequently. when Aurélie was 24 and Tategoto was 26, the two got engaged despite their rather young age. A year after their engagement, Aurélie got pregnant and had their son, Joshi, while living in Japan with Tategoto, prompting him to try and balance his work life and personal life more, spending more time on the ground than in the air. They got married the following year, and raised their son as best they could. Tategoto was quick to beg Aurélie to keep their new son, like him, out of the public eye, and she reluctantly obliged, recognising that being known as a celebrity's son would be alienating to Josh. It wasn't too long after Josh began learning to walk that his Stand Ability manifested, a potential passed down to him from Aurélie himself. She took it upon herself to mentor him.

Trouble started when Aurélie herself began travelling around quite a bit for shows and concerts, a sort of hustle and bustle Tategoto was not fond of, but he kept his reservations to himself as it wasn't hurting their son much when she was absent a couple of days. But eventually, the travel reached the whole family, and Tategoto and Josh were dragged along.

In 2002, Aurélie and Tategoto had their second child while temporarily living in California in America, a girl named Limbo. After Limbo's birth, Tategoto and Aurélie's marriage became rocky, as the family would continue to move around a lot while Limbo was growing up, and because of her personality and disability, it was impairing her ability to make friends and attachments to people, and hindering her social skills. Tategoto would voice his concerns only once or twice.

5 years after Limbo was born, the family was on their way to Japan for a visit; Aurélie and the children as passengers and Tategoto as pilot, intended to trade off to another pilot upon arrival. Unfortunately, completely unexpectedly, the plane crashed. The cause was labelled as some kind of engine failure - no fault of the pilot - but Aurélie and Josh had been sure that it'd been the result of a Stand attack - not that the news or police would understand that. It was assumed that the only reason Limbo and Tategoto were able to survive the incident was because Aurélie and Josh themselves were Stand Users - while Aurélie stayed to protect her daughter, Josh ran up to the cockpit to protect his father. After being pulled from the crash in the water, they were brought to Japan. There were numerous fatalities, and many of those who had survived had suffered casualties. Limbo and Tategoto were unfortunately no exception, while they survived in no critical condition, Tategoto was left with a wounded shoulder, arm and collarbone, and Limbo was left with scars and lost the use of both legs for a time. Recovery was a struggle, but miraculously, Limbo and Tategoto both regained full physical faculties over the course of a few months, by which point, they moved back to America.

Though they'd stopped moving for quite a while, there was a heavy strain on both parties in terms of the marriage, and after countless arguments and yelling matches caused by none other than Aurélie herself, the two ultimately settled on a peaceful divorce, a slight apology to each other, and a fair division of assets. When it came time to decide custody, Aurélie insisted to take Josh along with her, and to leave Limbo with Tategoto. When pressed as to why, she pointed out that Limbo and Tategoto were both non-Stand-Users, if Limbo and Josh both went with Aurélie, it would only put Limbo in danger, whereas if Josh was left with Tategoto and Limbo, it'd put both of them in danger. Agreeing this was the best course of action, Aurélie took her son and moved out, living nearby and amicably for a while until moving with Josh back to her hometown and then to France. Although she'd promised not to put her children in the spotlight, Josh began making a name for himself as a musician, and at an age where he could responsibly make the decision for himself, decided to reveal their relationship as mother and son to the public. Limbo, however, took the opposite stance once her music career began gaining just a little traction - her whole career hinged on her concealing her identity, using a mask to hide her face and using a stage name, all in the name of anonymity; so when it came time that she could make the responsible decision herself, she asked for her relation to the two to be unspecified, but still was more than happy to collaborate.

Once Aurélie's career died down, she retired as a musician (or, at least, put herself on hiatus), and began working as a childcare worker in France.
