Arcs[]
The First Trip - After unpacking her things in her Alta St. apartment, she walked out to the front of the complex to find her best friend Valentine with a group of people. It was there when she met Maia Berkeley, who would give Adelaide her first job in the city as a barista for her rising bakery business called Cool Beans.
First month in - Later on in her first month in the city, Adelaide spent her time wandering around the city splurging whatever money she had on food and tattered clothes. Realizing how down bad she was, she decided to take on some manual labor in the only dress in her closet with other guys in the city, even though she had a whole position as a trainee for Cool Beans.
Valentine's kidnapping - At the end of the month, Adelaide finally reunited with Valentine and Maia at the casino. Everything was going well until she witnessed Valentine being kidnapped after she was invited to a slumber party hosted by Lana Valentine. After spending the rest of the evening calling the police and even personally looking for her, Adelaide ran into Valentine again to find her head shaved clean, her pockets empty, and her memory completely wiped of whatever happened that night. Adelaide continues to wonder about what exactly happened to her and whether Lana had anything to do with this.
Adelaide finally bakes - At some point, Adelaide thought about quitting her job with Cool Beans even before starting her first day at work. When Maia informs her about the numerous deliveries she has to make alongside manning the Farmers' Market booth, Adele felt guilty and decided to clock in for her first day at work. Utilizing whatever talents she had in her old professions as a stripper and a club promoter in prior cities, she helped Maia make whatever sales she could that evening. It was then she realized that she actually liked this job and would continue working for Maia's bakery just a little longer.
Dreams of a City Pop Star - As Adelaide continues her deliveries for Cool Beans and struggling for funds, Adelaide has begun to market herself to begin her journey to becoming a resident City Pop star. From working for sexy carwashes to performing her only prepared song at open mic sessions, she is determined to put herself out there and be noticed by a record label, preferably Valentine's residence of Creampie Creations. Thanks to Maia's connections, Adelaide got hired at the Vanilla Unicorn as a performer and she is set to sing on stage within the weeks.
