Adeline of Berengar

Rome -- medieval -SPQR- Godiva's Statistics -DAV- Augsburg - medieval

Sobriquet: Adel

Appearance: In a phrase, Adeline is an unspoiled beauty. At just fourteen years of age, she is tall and slim with the soft uncallused hands of a nobleman's daughter and is of marriageable age. The youngest daughter of Berengar is pale of skin with dark hair and eyes. She is usually dressed in her house colors of red plus black and wears no jewelry whatsoever.

Behavior: Adeline is in short innocent. Raised in a convent until just recently, she is completely unprepared for the realities of being a noble woman. Her recent emergence into courtly life and witnessing of tragedy upon tragedy has left her in a state of shock resulting in a prolonged slumber. Normally, she is somewhat meek and reserved, but keenly observant of all that goes on around her. Adeline's aloof demeanor give the impression of a docile broodmare prepared only for motherhood, but beneath the surface she is playful with a vibrant intelligence and fierce nature. Sadly, her quaint notions of the real world have left her frighteningly vulnerable to both the mundane threats of medieval life, let along the nocturnal terrors that hold court after dark.

History: Born in 1080 A.D., Adeline is the youngest daughter of the Count of Berengar and his deceased wife, Ingeburg. After her mother's death nine years ago, her father beset by the growth of courtly intrigue and noble warfare, handed her over to a reputable convent to raise and protect her. The nuns of the convent did perhaps too good a job and now the girl is thrust back into her father's world with little or no preparation for what lies ahead. Raised with the idea that she would take the veil of a nun, she must now confront being a noble bride and playing piece in the dynastic struggles of Bavaria.

Recent Events: After the tragic poisoning of the court of Augsburg at her bridal feast, Adeline has collapsed into a unnatural slumber from which no one has been able to awaken her.
