Adelia is known to her friends as Addie, and is the former manager at Le Masquerade and Hufflepuff alumni.
Appearance
Standing at 5'6 and weighing in around 145, Adelia Delacroix is rather short indeed for her height, but never has seemed to be a bothersome thing for her as she's all right with being not so tall. Her eyes are a soft yet pure blue that her family has often commented that it reminds them of a sunny day. Her hair has gone through various stages of streaking it with blonde highlights (and various other colors), but she is a natural brunette with a hairstyle that works rather well for her when it wants to cooperate.
Her hair tends not to be the only thing a bit different about her as Adelia's clothing style incorporates various fashions, often making individuals wince should she clash them together. She finds foreign and exotic clothing exciting while vibrant colors from Muggle clothing seem to make her well content in wearing as well. Adelia can be found wearing on breaks any variants of clothing, but finds hoodies, jeans and a pair of Chuck Taylors rather comfortable.
Personality
First impressions of Adelia Delacroix have often been mixed due to her rather sporadic nature, but her family has always believed that the child was born with the gift of the gab (her mother blames it on her father's Irish background) even though she proved to be the one to keep rather to herself when meeting new people when she first came to Hogwarts. Adelia is sometimes a little bit bubblier than what she should be (as it has been proven to get her stern glances), but she truly does mean the best at heart. She is often quirky and confusing when she tries to explain something, moving around (it would seem dodging) the subject, eventually landing to her conclusion. Adelia strives to not be so boastful with what she is good at, but rather, she would rather play it off she's mediocre than admit the truth.
Even though not many will try for themselves, Adelia attempts to find the beauty in her surroundings, even down to the most stubborn classmate, professor, even in her own family. She is open to being affectionate, finding flirtation sometimes amusing, sometimes an eyesore when a boy tries a little too hard. Her persistance to push forward can often lead to moments of solitude and not wanting to cooperate well with others. Should she be angered to the point where she cannot learn to keep her mouth shut, Adelia will speak her mind and it's not often what she should say so apologies often find their way to the other party in a matter of minutes or by the next day. Since she was born under the astrological sign of the Bull, she is very in tune with nature and finds herself spending time outdoors (she would camp outside the school if it was allowed) when she is not in class as well as using the outdoors as a mean for energy release as she participates in the Quidditch team. Her darkest quality (since she can keep her anger in check) happens to be her possessive nature. It's genuinely something Adel will admit she's not proud of but it's one thing that seems to cause her grief.
The outdoors are only one of many things she enjoys as she's found that history, visiting historical landmarks, sketching/painting, dancing, and being musically inclined (among a few other things she is good at) are places of refuge for her when she finds the time to apply them or needs them when stressed out. Overall, Adelia is more mild mannered than meek, outspoken than silent, but generally is a pleasant person.
History
The story of Adelia Delacroix is rather a confusing one as it begins in the middle of another Hufflepuff's story: Fauna Blake. Their father, Malcolm Blake, a Muggle who seemed to flaunt with more than one woman, made the mistake of getting two women pregnant around the same time. One was Catherine Blake, a muggle woman with a family with him at the time while the other, Anneliese Delacroix, was a young Obliviator working undercover in the Muggle world in the job force as a secretary. Unintentional in nature, Anneliese was caught using magic. Needless to say, Malcolm was in awe but Anneliese lied, saying he must have been seeing things. Shortly after, the glances between the two were practically harmless but soon led to Malcolm and Anneliese seeing each other more often.
Anneliese knew she was a witch and couldn't allow herself for Malcolm to know more than what he already could assume. Turmoil within her led to Anneliese admitting it finally to Malcolm and was prepared to modify his memory in the hopes he'd go back to Catherine. Malcolm's pleas for him to stay with her were enough where she forced him to choose between Catherine or her. Malcolm wanted her, but Annelise forced him instead to wait it out for a while. She fled to Portsmouth and resettled back with her family. Malcolm joined the family a few months later but only to find out Anneliese was pregnant. Malcolm was conflicted but knew this time he had to stay with it and thus, married the woman and settled near the Delacroix home. Their first child, a daughter, was named Adelia and given her mother's maiden name as to continue the lineage.
Though they had not once thought about it when their child was growing up, Anneliese and Malcolm found that Adelia adored the fine arts and eventually found that she shared a birthday with one of Malcolm's favorite's artists: Salvador Dali. The two seemed rather happy and blessed, often taking Adelia all around the United Kingdom up until the point when Anneliese was pregnant again four years later when Adelia was five. Anneliese was pregnant again at the same time Voldemort struck again in the Second War. Malcolm's promise remained faithful all through the remaining years of Voldemort's terror reign as he kept Adelia safe and stayed along his wife's side for the birth of Alfred Delacroix, their second child. Anneliese chose to fight and ended up almost dying but survived with more than one scratch and a burn on her body from the action.
The peace and tranquility seemed to return and the family was reunited, able to move on and raise their two children with little bumps in the road as the two children seemed to fight and bicker off and on. Malcolm and Anneliese both knew that his other daughter, Fauna, was growing up as well and needed her father just as much so a few visits were made. Adelia and Alfie both were only told that their family was on a business trip to pacify them and it suited well enough to keep the secret still. When the Hogwarts letter was due to arrive, the Delacroix family (mainly Ravenclaws and Gryffindors) were curious to know if Adelia was headed that way. Sure enough, the letter did come and Malcolm was a mixture of emotions. He had hoped to send his daughter off to a good boarding school but he was ecstatic that she'd make the family happy. However, the Blake family hadn't written them that Fauna would be attending Hogwarts.
Adelia was more than pleased and found that Hogwarts all mythical and mystical until she arrived. She found that she didn't know anyone and no one knew her, so silence became her creed halfway through the first year. Friendships were eventually formed, especially with Fauna Blake, her stepsister. Adelia considered Fauna as a best friend and confidant since she didn't know yet the truth. It was becoming more difficult to meet up with Fauna (once more when the girl was thirteen) and balance knowing the truth. Adelia was insisting every summer to bring Fauna to their house but was constantly denied that privilege. Malcolm's guilty conscience got the best of him and the truth was revealed when Adelia was heading into her fifth year.
Adelia was shocked to the point where she would have told the girl, but promised to keep it a secret (which Adelia has found hard to keep). When Adelia was a sixth year, she was ready to move into her seventh and final year while her brother Alfie prepared for his third year in Gryffindor. She played on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team as well a participating in a few of the clubs that the school offered.
Though there has been no pressure yet on her, Adelia hadn't chosen a career, though working with animals or people seem to be something she enjoys. During her final year she enjoyed taking up an internship with the Department for International Magical Cooperation and worked closely with Johann Storm
