History of Adelaide
Long ago, Adelaide was well loved and treasured by a brilliant girl named Clara. She would be showered with love and swathed in the finest clothes, the two even shared matching attire. That all vanished when Clara entered fourth grade. It was gradual at first, like how her peers mocked her when she talked about dresses and dolls. This escalated to the point that her teacher had the audacity to tell Clara that science may not be fit for her, as she wouldn't want to get her dress dirty from experiments. Soon she had heard enough from the cutting remarks. Clara traded her dresses for pants and cleared her wardrobe of anything else that was girly. Adelaide watched the entire transformation from the sidelines. Adelaide felt a sense of pride and happiness that Clara decided to peruse her interests. If that took a wardrobe change, so be it. The doll was tucked away in a box full of dresses and was left to collect dust in the basement. When she made a pact with Ataro, she vowed to stay strong and be herself in whatever she decides to pursue, regardless of what others say. To remember her oath, she tore a piece of red cloth from Clara's favourite dress and tied it around her wrist.
Shadow's History
Ataro was part of a key that was used to unlock a diary. Many secrets were tightly guarded by him and he greatly enjoyed being the keeper of such treasured thoughts. When his owner decided it was time to free herself from the burden of secrets, she stuffed the diary and the key haphazardly away, causing Taro to break off from the rest of the key. No one noticed him on the ground and was swept into a nook. It's bittersweet really, he was forgotten for many years, but for good reason, and ended up creating a close bond with Adelaide.
Personality
The life of the party as many dolls describe her as. Others describe her as sweet and charismatic. All of these traits describe Adelaide at the best of her moods, or when she puts on a facade during parties. Proper manners and reading the environment is key to the industry. Perfection is what she strives for and perfection is what she gets. Normally, she is witty and sassy, always quick to retort to insults or comment on matters, but that is improper at dining parties so she keeps many words in her mind. She likes to be heard and won't let anyone quell that flame without a fight when she is challenged though. Atti is often quieter than Adelaide, as he seems to be a mere pendant on her belt. He listens and observes others carefully, filing away their ticks, habits and secrets. This way, Atti is loud when he needs to be, its best to keep a secret that he is her shadow anyways. Around Adelaide behind closed doors, he is always loud, and talking about the latest news, she is always happy to listen to him babble though.

Day Life
The new booming name in the fashion industry. Dolls everywhere want to get their hands on her stunning work. The pieces are only available if they order it from her, as she is willing to tailor custom garments for her clients. She even appears at high society functions as a VIP since her commissioners want to show off her latest work and credit the designer. As of late, she released a line of casual wear that is both innovative, yet stylish available to the public. Critics claim that they are perfect for mundane life or as a business casual outfit for a day in the office. They were a big hit and companies are lining up to order from the Puzzling Soul brand, much to her delight.
Night Life
Adelaide investigates and possibly assassinate significant figures in doll society. The assignments are usually jobs from Shax, as he pays fairly well. She will only take assassination jobs from clients if she is paid handsomely and there is a justifiable reason to end their life early. It usually results in her declining the offers. The fashion company is an elaborate front to secure an alibi. She even released a belt that modelled her own in case Ataro is spotted during her missions.
The skills that she posses now didn't come easy to her. Adelaide trained for many years to reach such a high point in her life. Adelaide started at her roots with ballet and gymnastics, which provided her flexibility and grace. Then progressed to building strength by training in martial arts and weapons of all sorts. Knives have decidedly taken the spot as her favourite weapon. They are versatile and have a plethora of sizes and designs, so she would have no problem hiding a couple under her cloak. If Adelaide ever finds herself bored, she may do a spur of the moment break in, cat burglar style. When I say 'spur of the moment', it actually means she plans it out and does extensive research about the house until she breaks in, but it's totally done like a cat burglar. By the time she's finished the plans though, it's likely that she already has another job lined up. So she files it away for a later date. Of course, she has already done this multiple times, so sooner or later, spur of the moment, may actually mean spur of the moment.
