Adelaide

"It was a bear! A bear ate the pie and then ran away, honest! Maybe it was a shapeshifted mage?"

Adelaide short life has beem dull and unhappy for the most part. At the age of four she lost her parents to a wasting sickness and more recently the man who adopted her, her uncle, was murdered by what has been called a wraith. It is no surprise that she veiws Tancred with awe after seeing his victorious trial by combat. A proper knight, not like the ones in stories.

On first meeting those from Sagehollow she seemed fearless but in the time since she has shown herself to be somewhat of a daydreamer and somewhat fickle while still headstrong. She enjoys coming up with stories and could one day be a skilled liar unless taught to focus herself in other ways. As of yet she doesn't know when to hold back however. Around the covenant she tends to attentively keep in Tancred's shadow when not sent off on errands or taking a walk by herself just beyond the camps borders. So far she doesn't seem to trust anyone else at the covenant too much, though she will play games with the others around her age. She does know how to tend to horses however having had experience in the stables back home.

Opinions on Others
Mages Arianwen - Doesn't talk to me much. Probably good. Edric - Doesn't talk to me at all. I'm glad! Essel - Doesn't talk to me much but she seems okay. Evelyn - Busy a lot but I'm heard she is fun. Cirice - She is so grumpy and weird.. Why won't she play? Companions Tancred - I don't understand all he says but he is awesome! A proper knight, bloody but just! Has taken to talking and thinking more, is Tessora a bad influence? Robin of Loxley - The Robin Hood?! Kinda a disappointment.. Lady Tessora of Artois - Can a woman really be a knight? I hope so, but she seems so clean. She glows now which is kinda impressive. Will Scarlet - Adelaide hides behind Tancred Grogs Bryne Vaughn - Listens to his bosses. Brave. Falko - Has accompanied me with tasks. Kinda nice and a good warrior but he is no Tancred. Alison - Not as good a squire but she's a fighter! Chimi - She is funny to watch but quite crazy.

Story
1190 Lived a dull but good life which took a turn for the interesting (and tragic). Her father was killed and on offering a book to the knight Tancred she became his squire, sort of. He gave her a pony at least and lets her follow him around everywhere. She keeps to Tancred's side at the covenant when not playing with the other children or sitting by herself under the shadows of the trees. So far she has been happy to attend to his horse, pour his drinks, fetch his meals and help him dress.

She accompanied Tancred during the event known as Red Moon Rising and played her part in finding out bits of information and distracting the individuals at the fort when asked. When the final battle occured however her pony attempted to flee, throwing her amidst the mindless and savage attackers. She survived those first moments only due to Tiffianius who had been asked by Tancred to protect her and somehow escaped the battle unharmed shortly afterwards...

Tancred alone has reason to suspect she is accompanied and perhaps protected by an unknown power.

1191 Followed Tancred to Summer Bridge with Tessora. There was a lot of french talk which she couldn't follow but tried to join in a little. All seemed to be okay until the dumb villages decided to kill their priest. A demon came and miracles happened with Tessora! Holy skeletons also came to Tancred's aide which Adelaide had nothing at all to do with.. honest.

In the autumn once Essel returned the magi have discussed matters as they stand. It seems nobody has thought to check whether the mask is where it was.. During this time and through to the end of the year Tancred focused his efforts on training his squire who progressed fast. There were grumbles from soreness and tiredness at first but the two pressed on.
