Arcana: Emperor Role: Navigator

Personality: Towering over most and always at attention, the best word to describe Adrian would be: tense. She takes leadership very seriously, and will both offer and respect authority. If a hierarchy is established, or if someone demonstrates expertise in an unknown topic, she will graciously accept them as her superior. But if she's in a position of leadership, the safety and success of her team is her top priority. She knows how to discern the strengths and weaknesses of her team, and is effective with bringing out the former while mitigating the latter. However, she struggles with emotional connection, and will often come off as cold as a result. In a bid to become the ideal role-model, she acts as an unshakeable boulder. Never hesitating, never wavering. She can't succumb to self-doubt, nor can she afford to offload her burdens. After all, if a leader crumbles, the rest are sure to follow.

Persona: Dantès Basic abilities: --Analysis and Support: As a navigator Persona, Dantès excels at identifying enemy weaknesses, tracking friend or foe, and providing support by enhancing ally abilities. --Portable Security Room: Oftentimes while summoned, he'll hover over the user, awaiting orders. Then, when the user dons a white mask, the cloak-like Persona will open up to security screens and radars that are indecipherable to all but the user. --Extra Tracking: He can locate specific people if the user possesses an item belonging to the target. Dantès can also produce small cameras only the user can see that can be placed on any sturdy surface. It can be viewed through the Persona itself.

Background: Adrian was born in San Francisco, California, but began her many moves around the country when she was 3. Belonging to a military family, she rarely stayed in one place for very long. She used to shun all things "girlie," as she preferred to roughhouse with the neighborhood boys and dig through the mud for worms. However, regardless of her preferred playmates, she was bound to leave them behind after a time. She lacked the means to stay in touch, and each friend she made slipped through her fingers once again.

Her days spent as a kid didn't last long. With a drill sergeant for a father and an uptight perfectionist of a mother, they shaped her into a disciplined and authoritative young woman. Someone competent, strong, can handle herself in a fight. She kept up with her academics, her extracurricular activities, her health, everything to ensure her success in life. Moreover, she joined her father in the U.S. Army after graduating from high school.

However, Adrian was not made for war. When she started high school, she joined the color guard and excelled as a performer. She grew to enjoy this "feminine" side of hers and became captain in her junior year. She continued into graduation, applying for the military color guard. Though the performance differed greatly between high school and the army, she upheld what was expected of her to the best of her ability. Bearing the flag for marches, ceremonies, funerals-- she'd seen people die... and what the dead can do to the living.

Her parents divorced four years after enrollment. Tensions between them have been high for years, but both parent and child risking their lives was the final straw. Adrian, who desired higher education but lacked the funds to live on her own, remained with her father as he was closer to the local college campus. She stays within the dorms on her own, and just began her fourth semester when she found a strange note on her bed.

A contract. One with unknown consequences until she fell asleep. Succumbing to a three-day coma, Adrian experienced a vivid dream, locking her in slumber until she met and confronted the arbiter of her prison-- her Shadow. She awakens to her Persona, and a new purpose: to rouse those trapped in eternal nightmare. With a new team to lead, she vows to solve the case of the Sleeping Sickness. And to understand why she, of all people, was chosen for this task.
