About: Adeline Healey
Basics:
Age: 57
Pronouns: she/her
Ethnicity: English and German
Appearance:
TBD
Role:
Adeline is Richard Healey’s wife and another important figure in Rico’s captivity. Rather than helping Rico, she becomes complicit in his exploitation and uses her access to him for her own emotional and personal needs.
Personality:
She is resentful, fearful, self-centered, and hungry for control. She often understands herself as someone trapped or wronged in her marriage, but this does not stop her from harming Rico in turn. She tends to interpret events through how they affect her status, marriage, and sense of power.
Connections:
Adeline views Rico as both a threat to her marriage and something she can use against Richard, creating a coercive and secretive dynamic between them. After Richard’s death, she becomes absolutely terrified of Rico and continues to see him as an animal broken free of its leash rather than as a person she helped victimize. Rico ultimately uses that fear to demand payment and permanent distance from her and the Healey legacy.
