Personality:
- Asshole - Ade loves to be sarcastic and push people's buttons. While she won't usually be outright rude to someone, she'll subtly try to get on their nerves and then make it seem like they're illogical for getting angry. Unlike her wife, she doesn't try to put on a front of politeness and formality. Ade also won't curse excessively no matter her mood, but how much she uses in a situation can be a good way to judge her current feelings. Because of her sarcastic and disrespectful personality, a lot of people find her unlikable and hard to work with, even if she is being helpful and making good points in a conversation.
- Family-Orientated - Everything Ade does is for the benefit of her family. She works with Béatrice despite their conflicting opinions on how to treat their children as test subjects because she loves her and wants to see her wife happy. And despite the traumatizing situations she allows her children to go through for Béatrice's motives for "the great good of the species", she still attempts to keep them happy and sane on some level. Even her parent-in-law she tries to please by still working with them on armor and weapon design.
- Hardheaded - Ade likes to view life as realistically as possible with little rose-tinted glasses. She despises the idea of trying to act like life is better than it is and will usually brush off stuff like that as "delusional" and "ignorant". While she can appreciate sentimental things, especially when it comes to her family and friends, she prefers to live her life however she views as the most practical. This usually leads her to do stuff for the end result, even if she's not happy with what she had to do to get there.
- Workaholic - Working is Ade's life. Nearly everything Ade does she considers a job, whether she loves it or not. Working out, taking care of her children, crafting armor and weapons, and even just studying the people she meets is something she considers a job. Having nothing to work on leaves her extremely stressed and anxious, forcing her to go out of her way too busy herself, even if her solution still makes her stressed and anxious. While it can be beneficial at times, people around her often considers this a flaw when she's near breaking down because of it, but she just considers it practical. Ade's workaholic attitude frequently stems from her attempts to assert herself as knowing what she's talking about, with varying degrees of success. While this does make her very stubborn, it can also make her easily influenced by making her feel dumber than those around her.

Ade was born in a modest home within Koli. There she quickly picked up skills in running by playing with her friends in the grassy fields and mountains. At times she would even fly high to reach the peak of a mountain, or when she was much younger, a hill, and then run down while trying to avoid tripping. During her early teens she had to move with her parents from Koli to Lehora by request of the Royal Oricenta, Archard, because of their skills in armor and weapon creation.
At first she focused on what she was most interested in: performance arts. All around Lehora she looked for people to train her and help her become a musician, dancer, whatever. Most people said she was skills as a songwriter and dancer, then suggested that she write some plays and perform in some of them. Quickly Ade latched onto these suggestions, writing hundreds of ideas for plays, then sending out her best to be reviewed and set up. It worked too, because soon she was known as a young play writer that had lots of potential, just needed some more experience. Her passion was made even easier by her parents actively supporting her and setting her up with all sorts of tutors for songwriting, dancing, singing, etc.
But she also had to focus on her main reason for being here, and her second interest too: armor and weapon design. Despite this being something she cared slightly less about, she demonstrated prodigy level skills in it, but she didn't really see it that way. Ade was just constantly surrounded by parents who also had their own love for armor and weapon creation and wanted their daughter to have the same love too. This led to Ade being privately tutored by them from a young age in different types of armor, weapons, enchantments, and the list goes on. They tried even harder when they saw how Ade's mineral shape-shifting ability could give her an easy advantage in armor and weapon design. Even though they both still supported Ade's top passion, once Archard showed interest in her abilities, they made it clear which path they wanted her to choose.
So Ade took up the opportunity to become Archard's courier. She was trained to develop her talents more, both performance arts and metalsmith.
Then she met Oyewole. She thought of him as a delinquent sort of, as he enjoyed teasing her and messing with her creations. She found it charming though, and heard many times that when a boy likes you that means he's in love with you. He even shared a Nigerian name like her, and they both appreciated the Yoruba culture. Eventually the two got married, changed their markings, and found a home together somewhere else in Lehora. Still, Ade kept her job as working with the Royal Family for armor and weapons.
After a few years of working and dating Oyewole, Ade met Béatrice along the way. She was the daughter of the Royal Oricenta, and they hit it off quickly. Ade even had some feelings for her, but by that time she was committed to Oyewole and their marriage didn't come long after. Despite her feelings, she spent a long time with Oyewole, and after a long while she had her first child, Oluremi. Things didn't go as she planned though. She didn't feel truly happy with Oyewole, and he still retained his delinquent behavior. He was nice and loving and genuinely cared for Oluremi, but he would disappear for days sometimes or purposely aggravate her friends, or sometimes even just be mean to her because he thought he could get away with it. After getting into a serious fight with him and knocking the wind out of him out of frustration, she decided the relationship wouldn't work anymore.
She didn't mind though. In fact, the moment she divorced him she quickly leaped into the arms of her best friend and married her. She combined her Afolabi markings with the Soie markings, as well as Oluremi's, then joined the Soie family. Ade hasn't been married to Béatrice for long, but she felt so secure in her relationship that she had another baby with her: Arjean. The one issue she had in the relationship was how her children were being treated. Not only be Béatrice, but by herself too.
The moment she got close to Béatrice, even before they got married, she knew she would be involved in her scientific life. While Ade didn't understand it much, she followed along and learned things from her, mostly in the subject of species analyst, experimentation, and dissection. What she wasn't expecting was for Béatrice to try experimenting on herself, and then on her. Ade was fine with it. She was told it was for the benefit of all oricenta, and that Béatrice's research would lead her to finding a way to make oricenta even stronger. If the years of experiments only gave slight improvements for her and Béatrice, they both believed it should have promising effects on Arjean. From the moment Arjean was born they inspected them and tried to see if maybe post-birth experiments would speed up the effects of pre-birth experiments. Béatrice even wrapped Oluremi, who she called Remi, into the experiments too. Despite Ade's hopes to keep the experiments non-painful or even lethal, Béatrice always had a disconcertingly skilled way of shutting off all her emotions to apathy when she worked. From there on Ade had moral conflicts on her private job, but she still stayed loyal to Béatrice and her children.
After being sent off to Manta Carlos Islands to learn more about different cultures, Ade found herself less anxious. Her daughter was going out more and seemed to be more expressive, and Arjean got to be raised in a new area with diverse friends. She was worried that her children were internalizing their feelings due to the experiments, but they seemed to have gotten much better after the move. Now Ade just has to lessen the pain of the experiments and keep her family happy.
Powers:
Mineral Shape-Shifting - Ade has the power to shape-shift her body into different minerals, such as gemstones and rocks. Usually she just shape-shift her arms to assist her in working with armor and weapon forging. She cannot shape-shift into something less than what she has unless she breaks pieces of herself off, which will lead to her normal body being disfigured and lacking whatever piece she broke off. The only way she can shape-shift into something that's more than her natural body is by adding more minerals onto her body to increase her size, but when she goes back to normal the extra minerals fall off of her and are capable of harming her. She can also heal herself in a way by adding minerals to her body when she shape-shifts, then when she goes back to normal it's like there was no harm done.

Species Abilities:
- Owl + Deer Physiology (More developed in deer traits)
- Owl, Deer, Cervid Shifting -
- Owl Form - A large owl with dark brown feathers matching her dark brown eyes with gold in them. She retains her markings in this form and can summon her horns if she'd like.
- Deer Form - A strong deer with dark brown fur matching her dark brown eyes with gold in them. Instead of antlers, she still has her horns sprouting from her head, which gives people some confusion on if she's actually a deer when she's in this form. She still retains her markings and can summon her wings if she chooses to.
- Cervitaur Form - Her deer form and regular form mixed together. Her wings are moved from her humanoid back to her deer back.
- Longevity- All oricenta will stop aging at 24-years-old, the year they hit their prime, and continue to live forever, but they are still capable of being harmed and killed. They are still vulnerable to sicknesses, wounds, and whatever their weakness is depending on their oricenta type. Their best bet against those things are to be healed by either themselves or others. They cannot resurrect themselves from the dead, and even just trying to resurrect them is hard because their bodies turn into whatever oricenta type they represent. When Ade dies she will melt into a pile of mud.
- Sexual characteristics shifting
- Water walking/breathing
Skills:
- Armor and Weapon Crafting
- Physical Activity - Ade exceeds in physical activity and finds herself performing the best whenever she has to use her body instead of her magic, though she's also very skilled at her mineral shifting ability. She loves to work out and train herself to be as strong as possible, but her favorite activities are fighting with her fist and running. Her best skill is running with her travelling the fastest on ground without getting tired for hours. This could be explained as her simply being part Earth oricenta, but even then she's faster than many other Earth oricenta. When fighting she displays more skill by using her upper body to fight, and her lower body for movement.
Weaknesses:
- Heat/Electricity
- Flying - Ade's flying is pretty slow due to her focus on ground travelling. Her mineral shape-shifting also causes her wings to be useless, because trying to fly with wings for boulders is impossible. Even if she kept her wings feathery, they'd still be trying to carry the weight of something heavy, unless she shape-shifts herself into something light.
- Swimming - Despite being part Water oricenta, Ade finds herself sinking easily when in water. She knows how to swim and regularly teaches Arjean how to, but her powers are mostly useless in the water since turning into certain minerals make her so heavy she sinks and has trouble swimming back up. She's also just a weak swimmer since she works out on the ground than in water, but someday she wants to get more skilled in swimming.
- Shape-Shifting - When an oricenta shape-shifts with their deer, owl, or cervitaur forms, they turn into a magical glowing cell-like form that lets them shape-shift without any pain. The time spent changing depends entirely on the experience an oricenta has with shape-shifting, but during this time they are very vulnerable to attacks. If they are interrupted, such as being touched or even stabbed, they can come out disfigured or dead. If they're disfigured there's the chance of them being healed back to normal depending on the severity of their interruption and where they were interrupted, but if their dead the only thing that can bring them back is the power of resurrection that doesn't require a body to resurrect.
