[Demonic Weapon]
A parasitic weapon, Adrian's straitjacket that she forcibly wears in her Zero form can sprout arms or elongated bludgeons from anywhere on the jacket to subdue or punish foes. It can brandish up to eight arms or bludgeons at once (though the more it produces at once, the smaller the attachments get) as a callback to her fear of spiders. It specializes more in defense and counters than offense, and usually only attacks when Adrian is attacked, perhaps as a measure of protection over her.

Adrian does not seem to be able to control the weapon yet (the lack of control is reflective of an absense of control over her mental state), and so it acts on its own accord. After battles she often feels motion sickness because of the jacket's high speed in defending combined with her low movement speed because of the ball and chain around her left ankle (resulting in her being jerked about quite often).

Her straitjacket is a symbol of her lack of control over her fragile mental state. The ball gag represents her inability to be vocal about her mental state out of fear of being re-admitted into a mental hospital.

It also serves practical purposes (as she lacks actual arms) such as climbing (trees, ladders, etc) and general mobility.

[Personality]
Adrian (around most people) since she has been out of the asylum has been mostly sugary on the outside, and bitter on the inside. From volunteer work to living situation and even friends, she'll come in running with a positive insight, but on the inside she will be absolutely seething and negative about her situation.

She tends to be spoiled, and has fine tastes, but can also be simple as an individual and is capable of living off of very little. She laughs a lot, though sometimes its difficult to distinguish her genuine laughs from her bitter, fake ones as they both sound nearly the same.

When triggered she will often fly off the handle, and does anything from throwing everything around her at walls (or even sometimes people), to crumpling up into a ball screeching and wailing. She does her best to keep her mental condition under wraps however, as "going back to that damned hospital is the last thing i ever want to do".

Around closer people she will become more genuine, and lie less. In fact, she will become almost transparent. She doesn't have a habit of worrying about what other people may think of her in this state. She however, has only showed this part of her to one individual so far after leaving the mental hospital.

[History]
<sub>Adrian was an only child born in Burgundy, France.
She was born in Cape Town in a higher end area. Her parents were deeply invested financially, as her father frequently went overseas to make investments. In early childhood, she was often without her father for this reason. Despite this, she largely preferred her father's presence over her mother's. Her father often brought her gifts, including a trust fund that he swore would be protected until she was 18.

When Adrian was age 13, her father committed suicide due to stock crashes and investment failures. He was discovered by her mother and Adrian when they had returned from a shopping trip that day. He had jumped off of the top of their estate and broke his neck on the pavement. This shook Adrian up considerably with thoughts of whether or not her father actually loved her, since he wanted so desperately to die.

After the funeral, her mother did not take the news of their failing finances very well. She fell into grieving by becoming a gambler and substance abuser, desperately trying to get their life back, but failing. This caused her to raise Adrian very poorly, and as her teen years went on she began to resent her mother more and more, and her own mental condition and social skills were and dwindling.

When she was 18, her mother eventually broke down and confessed that her trust fund, which her mother (and late father) had sworn to protect, was gambled away. Their home was to be taken, and Adrian and her mother moved to The City.

Still traumatized by the loss of her father, and bitter and angry that her comfortable life style was taken away from her, she concluded that she was going to kill her mother in a fit of revenge. She contemplated the way she would kill her for two whole years, and when she was 20 she finally acted. She began to cleverly slip chemicals and cleaners into her mother's alcohol. Her mother's condition weakened. Noticing her health beginning to fail she reflected on her recent drinking and realized that the may be being poisoned. Worried and angry, she began to make her way to their kitchen weakly, and met Adrian halfway in a hallway. Accusing Adrian of poisoning her, Adrian crumbled under the pressure of her mother's yelling voice and she began to scream and panic. Lifting a floor lamp she saw out of the corner of her eye she began to swing it wildly at her mother, breaking the glass top and the bulb over her head. Lost in her breakdown, Adrian continued to swing the lamp down on her mother's head and body until she stopped moving completely. Her mother was hardly recognizable due to the bludgeoning.

Adrian felt numb, and as a result of the numbness she was methodical in cleaning up the mess her mother's body had made. She wasn't sure of how to dispose of the body and she pondered this for hours over tea before she decided on burying the body somewhere. But where? Her own backyward seemed obvious and she couldn't take the body very far without being noticed or caught. The family next door was out on a trip. She figured the best solution would be to take advantage of their poorly maintained backyard, which was mostly dirt and weeds. When night fell she buried the body as far away from her home as she could in hopes that it would frame someone else if the body was every found.

Adrian's mission was complete, however it (predictably so) scarred her more than expected. She began to go mad, and feared to think about the possible consequences of her actions. She could not sleep that night. A few days passed, her sanity slowly escaping- she eventually left her home, dazed and terrified and intending to kill herself. Everyone around her seemed blurry as she fled to the train station, headed for a shopping mall. If she was going to die, it would be how her father did.

She intended to jump from the top floor of a shopping mall when it was heavily populated. Breathing heavily and terrified, she climbed on the rail of the highest floor. Many people saw her, but none reacted. Before she could jump however, she was caught by security. She screamed and struggled until security eventually stunned her into unconsciousness.

When she awoke, she found herself laying in a cot. Looking around she discovered that she was in an isolated room with plain walls, and a heavy steel door with no handle on the inside. She wonders where she is for hours, and eventually breaks down and begins to panic. Screaming 'let me out!!' and 'where am I?!', banging on the door, and shrieking. She sobbed and wailed for seemingly hours until eventually she gave up, crumpled on the floor.

Later, the heavy door opened, and a small shred of light flooded the floor. She was approached by a doctor and several security guards and was told that she was in a high security long-term mental hospital in Central, and she was to undergo treatment by law. She had no choice but to agree, and she was in treatment for 3 years before she was released for 'being on her best behavior'. Seemingly treated, Adrian lived her life differently from then on. She didn't go back home, instead she went to live in a halfway home where she met Willow Borasco (or Bon, as he introduced himself).

They were room-mates at the time. At first, things were rocky because Adrian seemed to be distrusting of people. However her shell is eventually broken and they become close friends. However Bon got a chance to become employed, and he leaves her behind with only his name for her to go off of. Bitter but determined to follow in his footsteps, she dedicates her life to doing community service to become enough of an upstanding citizen to get employed and move out herself. She never faced the consequences of her actions by the law, but it would forever live in her memory.</sub>

[Trivia]
- Despite her reluctance to be alone, communicating with people is difficult due to her lack of practice in the matter. She does tend to ramble to fill silence.
- She treats the friends she has very, very well. She would almost seem obsessed with them from anyone on the outside looking in.
- Despite being unemployed she manages to have a few pieces of expensive clothing, jewelery and technology. This is due to the remains of what she already owned.
- She tries to avoid being in the darker areas of Zone 2 as she is unable to protect herself properly. She doesn't go out alone at night unless she is accompanied by someone she trusts (read: Bonsh. That's about it).
- Her halfway home is co-ed and so she sometimes is hesitant to shower unless its very late at night or there is no one else home (out of fear of 'peepers').
