Appearance
Adora stands 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a warm tan exoskeleton, a lean agile build, and dark mothlike fuzz gathered around her neck and head. Her large black compound eyes are intensely expressive, and her long feathery antennae twitch, tilt, and perk whenever she notices something interesting. She wears a dark charcoal poncho edged in deep crimson, reinforced leather bracers, and a worn backpack crowded with adventuring supplies and strange collected trinkets. Her four arms let her carry a shield while still fighting with two light blades, and she moves with startling speed and fluidity.
Mannerisms
She angles her head and antennae toward whoever is speaking, even when she is pretending not to listen. When excited, she taps one claw against her shield in a rapid rhythm. Before making a risky decision, she briefly freezes completely, then moves all at once.
Personality
Adora is alert, inquisitive, and socially unconventional. She studies people through movement, scent, posture, and the rhythm of their voices, often noticing details they wish she had missed. She is protective of outsiders and thieves with rules of their own, but she has little patience for pomp, needless ownership, or anyone who mistakes quietness for obedience.
Ideals
Freedom. No creature should be owned, catalogued, or forced to serve a role chosen by someone else. If a lock exists, it is an invitation to learn why.
Bonds
She carries a small brass wind-up bird taken from the first person who ever treated her clutch as people instead of curiosities. She intends to find its maker and return it, although she has never admitted that the trinket is also the last object connected to her vanished elder sister.
Flaws
Adora steals interesting objects almost reflexively, especially if someone insists that they are worthless. She also mistakes secrecy for safety and would rather improvise a dangerous escape than admit she needs help.
Quirks
Background
Adora hatched beneath a caravan waystation where thri-kreen travelers traded salt, silk, and rumors with passing merchants. Her clutch learned early that survival depended on noticing what others missed. Adora became exceptionally good at it. She could identify a dishonest trader by the angle of a hand, hear a coin being palmed beneath a table, and sense when a conversation had become dangerous before anyone else noticed. Her antennae made her curiosity impossible to hide, but her quick reflexes usually let her escape the consequences of following it.
