Adrien's free-spirited disposition.
Charming, Ambitious, Self-Serving. 

Adrien is known to put on a tough front to protect herself from being hurt. Purposefully manipulative at times, she believes that it is better to push others away, not at their own fault, but under the reasoning that she doesn't believe she deserves to be loved. Her childhood irrational fear of burdening people causes her to distance herself from people who genuinely care about her in cruel ways, especially when her health starts to deteriorate. She has a permanent chip on her shoulder, and her moods can be unpredictable. When she's in good spirits, she's overly kind and generous, but when she's having a low, she can be self-sabotaging and cold, wishing she was dealt a different hand in life. She always regrets her misplaced frustrations, but she finds it hard to change her behavior after being so guarded for so long.

 


History

Early Life

Adrien is an ex ballet dancer and ex-girlfriend of both Dominique and Angel. She grew up with an authoritarian mother and emotionally absent father. She had many high expectations placed on her by her parents to excel academically and athletically, to which she did. She was always one of the upper level dancers in her ballet groups, but when she developed a chronic childhood illness she could no longer endure hour of standard practice.

Her parents were disappointed, and she felt rejected by them and would act out in school and during her dance practices. After multiple health scares and ineffective treatments, Adrien grew resentful with many things in her life as a teenager. After transferring into a new dance company, she found it hard to make friends; many of the children were too pretentious for her liking, but her bad attitude did not help, especially when dealing with some of the underlying bullying and discrimination in the department. There she met Angel, one of the popular boys in the group. The two of them didn't get along at first, but were paired to dance together for performances due to their similar skill levels. Eventually the two of them started to develop feelings for each other and dated for most of their teenagerhood.

But as Adrien got older, her health got worse, and she was almost always emotionally volatile; she didn't think it was fair that she was so limited in the things she could do. Her relationship with Angel became strained, and they took breaks from each other, especially after an altercation between them resulted in Angel tripping in the studio and hurting his leg. She felt extremely guilty, and didn't think she deserved the grace he was giving her. She didn't think she deserved any of Angel's kindness anymore, so she started trying to push him away by being selfish and dating other people, including Dominique. Eventually, after dating on and off, traveling together and refusing further treatment for her illness, Angel was still there for her when she died because he felt he understood her enough to know that she was just scared.

Relationships

 

Angel . Childhood Sweethearts


Adrien and Angel have been friends since childhood, having initially met in their adolescent ballet classes. The two almost never got along when paired together during practices, but they eventually grew to like each other as time progressed. They dated without problem through their teenage years, but in early adulthood as Adrien's health started to deteriorate, their relationship took a turn. Adrien's fear of burdening Angel caused her to mistreat him in an attempt to push him away, and it was around this time when she accidentally caused his career-ending injury. Despite that, Angel stayed with Adrien, understanding that her behavior stemmed from her fear of death, and even accepted Adrien's decision to bring a third person, Dominique, into their relationship. He was not too fond of that open relationship and eventually broke up with Adrien because of it. In Angel's absence, Adrien started to realize how much she had taken Angel's companionship for granted. Eventually, with some soul searching, Adrien learned to appreciate all of the things Angel had ever done for her. And in her final days, it was Angel who was there for her.

Dominique . Ex-Girlfriend


Adrien was more or less having an existential crisis when she met Dominique. The two met in a bar after Dominique had recently gotten out of a bad relationship. After getting to know one another, Adrien learned that Dominique's living situation was unstable, so Adrien offered to let her stay with her and Angel, who were currently dating. Adrien, who was overly interested in Dominique (and her vunerability), suggested to Angel that they open their relationship to Dominique and add her in as a third partner. Despite Angel's hesitancy, Adrien proceeded with inviting Dominique into their relationship. Angel later broke up with both Dominique and Adrien as he was unhappy in the relationship. Dominique was quick to catch on to how manipulative Adrien was towards her and Angel. When Dominique eventually confronts Adrien about her behavior, Adrien finally reveals to Dominique that she has a terminal illness, and that they should break up because of it, not wanting to waste any more of Dominique's time. Adrien respects Dominique's no-nonsense attitude, and regrets the way she treated her, and even makes an effort to apologize to her down the line.

 

Cassius . Younger Brother


Adrien always wanted to protect Cassius from their mother's narcissism, but had to move away from their family home to protect her own sanity. She's happy that Cassius has become his own person and didn't let their mother influence his sense of self and walk all over him. She supports him whenever she can but tries to keep her distance to prevent herself from inadvertently hurting him the way she hurts others.

 

Roman . Rival (?)


Adrien doesn't know much about Roman, only that he's Dominique's new toy. When Adrien visits town after being absent for a couple of years, she wants to catch up with Dominique, but finds that Roman isn't too keen on the idea. Adrien wishes Roman the best of luck with Dominique, and hopes that he takes better care of her than she did.
