Origin[]
Adeline May Adele was born on October 30th, 1997, and is one of the main characters in the ongoing AO3 novel, "Butchess." She was born as the eldest daughter of her parents Tomas and Tina Adele in the family of 4, growing up on Long Island in New York. Despite being the first born and only daughter, Adeline was seen as a failure as she entered kindergarten due to having undiagnosed autism and adhd. Due to the embarrassment Tina thought her daughter was incompetent and childish, having another child, James, to start over. 
Throughout the earlier years of her childhood, she was teased for her odd behaviors and actions along with the fact she was a heavier child, being relentlessly bullied with no relief as her parents ignored her, swept up with the duty of adoring their new precious son who they saw as a success compared to Adeline. She was heavily sensitive an easy target. This caused her to grow paranoid and anxious as well as depressed as she entered middle school while using music to slightly cope as well as culinary, cooking for herself which her mother forgot to do sometimes so Adeline began cooking for herself, experimenting with flavors and as much as she despised it, she dove into trying certain textures as well. 
As she moved through middle school, she dealt with a lot of traumas such as sexual assault from a classmate who was older and stronger than her and when reported she wasn't believed, being told the boy was a decent boy, that she would ruin his future. Her mother was yet again embarrassed but this time she was also furious, starting the start of her beating and hitting Adeline in violent manners. Afterwards, Adeline found a new friend, Aurora. Aurora was multiple years older than her, a sophomore in high school while Adeline was years younger. Aurora also had a boyfriend. After a while, there friendship turned negative as Aurora forced Adeline into smoking, cigarettes and weed along with sexual activities, telling Adeline it was okay because her boyfriend was okay with it, forcing her into intimate situations. Adeline started to become dependent, feeling like she needed Aurora to live before Aurora grew bored, throwing her aside for someone younger who was willing to try harder drugs. 
For a while, Adeline grew heavily depressed but through this, she wound up turning to culinary, but it was enough, and she began committing acts of self-harm. Her family never noticed and continued to ignore her, not paying her any attention or helping her besides when her grades slipped but even then, after a while they stopped caring, James was older now and he was a star at sports such as soccer and hockey. Adeline grew more paranoid, anxiety, and depressed as the time went on, her mental illness growing inside her worse every day. 
For a while (now age 15), she began to listen and read about these stories about proxys, killers for slender man and the stories made her feel slightly bad for them, feeling like she understood in some sort of way, loving the tales as more and more proxys started to appear. This is when her online life starts to form, it is not long until eventually, an older man named Kevin found her, while she was 15, he was 24. 
Kevin made her feel loved and like Aurora, she grew dependent, but this wasn't Aurora, this was worse. As the two got into an online relationship, Kevin forced her into doing sexual activities, but after a while he forced her to do other things like hurt herself for his favor. He groomed Adeline for 2 years, Adeline didn't like sending photos and videos or hurting herself, but she thought this was the definition of love. 
When her mother found out as Adeline made plans to meet with him, her mother screamed for hours on end, beating her which lasted for multiple days. When she got home from school, before bed. Anytime her mother felt frustrated. 
Eventually, she got an invite in the mail, invited to attend Nemesis University, a prestigious college who only invited the best students. It confused Adeline why she was accepted for their culinary course however she accepted none the less. 
At college she dormed with Vespera Arias, a girl who was skilled with computers and became her only true friend who also had a big crush on Adeline. However, Adeline fell for a woman in the culinary classes sorority who were bitter due to Adelines talent. Despite how much Vespera tried to warn her, Adeline went off with Gabrielle, her "girlfriend" who led her to an attempted murder. From the attack, a scar was left on her nose as well as I giant scar on her back which did not sever her spine, causing her to live but leaving her with a gruesome scar. 
When she woke from her coma, Vespera was by her side, but Adeline couldn't help but feel numb, she was confused and hurt and fueled with rage despite remaining partially silent. She refused to see anyone but Vespera and in this time she began having dreams of a faceless man and seeing him outside her window until he appeared in her room promising revenge. It was there, the night before she was to be released the Adeline Adele made a deal that she would become a proxy for the Slenderman, and she would serve him for the rest of her life as long as he helped get her satisfying revenge on the sorority. 
Adeline carved her proxy symbol into her tongue, wanting to feel and taste the despair. She left the hospital with Vespera and Slender Sickness sunk in, causing her to lose any sense of what she was doing, using Vespera to her advantage as she began truly experiment with her taste tests. Before her finale, she killed multiple, turning their corpses and organs into dishes and eating them along with making Vespera take part. Eventually, her and Vespera showed up to the sorority, killing all the girls before the Slender Sickness wore off, causing her to realize what she had done and what she had made Vespera done. Realizing Vespera truly did love her, something she had never felt and for a moment she regrets giving herself up as a proxy before continuing on with her mission. 
In the end, Adeline cooked her classmates and served them as her finals, dressing up for her professors before running off into the woods with Vespera who she eventually had to leave behind. After that began Adelines new life as The Butchess, the name a mixture of "Butcher" and "Dutchess", killing for Slenderman, cooking her victims before sending the dishes she makes out of them too their families.

Personality[]
Adeline is quite the life of the party while she is manic, she enjoys the attention given to her. She is not narcissistic however she has been manipulated to believe she is the best at what she does, and that is put on a performance. She kills quickly and ruthlessly, dancing around as she cuts out organs and makes her dishes, liking how the families are despaired when they find out what is in the meal or find out they had eaten their loved ones. While in a manic state, Adeline will be bubbly and energetic, talking on and on about topics her mind is fixating on and speaking her mind as she can be extremely blunt, not knowing what is appropriate to say. 
However, Adeline only wishes to seek pain in those she does not find fit of her friendship, to the others in the mansion she is quite helpful and will often cook actual food (Without organs unless requested) for those in need of a good meal. She enjoys helping the others, it fills her with a sense of pride to see them happy and feel appreciated, however, something that fills her with more pride is revenge. When she hates someone, she has a hunger to destroy and embarrass them. 
She is very competitive, a sore loser when she loses and not to mention the amount of happiness when she crushes someone in competition. Whether it be missions, board games, or bets, Adeline always does everything she can to win, to be in the spotlight, craving validation she never truly got growing up. 
Too her dearest companions, Adeline can be very clingy and touchy, not wanting to let go out of fear of losing her favorite people, she gives her favorite people handmade gifts and gives them things she stole for them, wanting to keep her favorite people happy. However, if someone in her favor ever happens to change their tone, depending on how important they are to her she will shut down and begin doubting herself, growing paranoid until she gets into a depressive episode, or the person convinces her otherwise by action or words. 
When Adeline is going through a depressive episode, she will be quiet and very closed off, ignoring everyone and everything except her duties as a proxy. If she is forced into socializing during these states, or prodded at, Adeline will grow fidgety and agitated and if the behavior around her continues, she will grow violent, enraged. She will scream and shout, tackle and claw until she is pulled away and left alone. However, she is more in a manic state than a depressive one, however certain people do get her agitated easier than others which causes her to get violent however this is rarer in a manic state for Adeline.
