Background
Adeline grew up in a strict household. She found art to be the creative outlet that allowed her a reprieve from the stress around her. Her parents took note that she was talented in many different artforms and wanted to see her continue down that path. They would supply her with different types of materials and see which ones Adeline would be most interested in. She began to build a small side business and sell her art for others. The only thing that she loves more than making art is connecting with others. Adeline began to make a name for herself and use her art to inspire others. However, Adeline’s work as an artist is difficult for her when her health condition begins to flare-up; it becomes hard for her to hold any type of art tools. This difficulty can then cause a creativity block in Adeline for a while, and she does not get to express her artistic creativity to the world. When she has a hard time having that creative outlet fulfilled, Adeline has been known to ask others for assistance, whether that is to entertain her with tales about magical travels or perhaps bring her items that will inspire her when she begins to feel better.
Personality
Adeline is a full-figured human woman with horn-rimmed glasses. Her style is very bookish, with a twist of punk. She has brown, chest length hair and is normally the tallest female in the room. Adeline is fairly quiet, but always looking up ways to help from a distance. She constantly gets lost in her artwork and is always learning new art-related hobbies. Her first love will always be painting, and she will try to paint any story that she ever gets her hands on. She is full of stories, and she talks to you for hours if you let her. Adeline is very skilled at what she does, however, she is unable to always perform at her best due to her medical condition.
Plot Hooks
- Adeline loves talking with others and often sets up her painting in local areas where there is a lot of foot traffic. Some days, she says she’ll paint a person’s deepest desires if they pay her 1 gp.
- Adeline could also be concerned about the local sculptures around town. She pays close attention to all of them, and it seems that the sculptures seem to be moving into different positions overnight. No one believes her, but she knows the fine details of each piece of art in the city.
- Adeline will often draw inspiration for her new work by inviting newcomers to her gallery. She may send a letter requesting the party’s presence at her location. She will then talk with them until they share a story of their heroism. She will then take time to paint their adventure on a canvas and offer it back to them for a fee.
