History


Date of Birth: September 17th, 1992
Home: Ogurugu, Enugu, Nigeria
Family: Mayowa and Kolawole Osuma (parents), Kayin (younger brother), Opeyemi (younger brother)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (grew up in a very small town just outside the jungle, family hard working folk, she went to school while also helping with rearing her brothers; all of this life, she lived without complaint; but one day, when her father came home with a bad injury from work at the factory, and they couldn’t afford a proper doctor visit, she slipped into the nearby forest to seek out herbs, and there her ancestors collectively whispered the truth to her until the chorus overwhelmed and toppled her into an unconscious vision quest of self-learning), 2007
Mentor: Ide
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (when she woke up, Ase [Glamour] flared around her still, and instead of returning home immediately, she ventured deeper into the woods till she encountered Ide; a fellow Neiterkob, this Emere elder taught her what she needed to know for the quest she’d been given: the reason why she awakened; once her vision-questing revealed that answer, her distaff, like a badge of office, appeared, as did the blessings and charity of Disa the spirit of the Orchid)
Comrades: Yewande Temitope, Sasa Longroad, Salali Amadahy, Iria Tapihana, Huang Lifen, Dalila Geddis, Rayleigh Dunham
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (Ide helped her realize that she was one incarnation in a series of angelic beings sent to help gather the long-lost pieces of the Dark Crucible, a demonic engine of death and destruction; she began her work in Nigeria, exploring black and gray markets for archaeological pieces and relics that were actually shards of that primordial device, and finding a few sent them to safekeeping with Ide in the heart of the jungle)
Transition: Relocation (her trail for the shards brought her out of Africa and all the way to the New World, specifically to the West Coast near San Francisco, where the finding of one piece revealed many more were nearby hidden; Queen Serena then appeared and offered Adaeze a place in the Ensemble, where many more pieces could be found and the fae overall could benefit from her wisdom, conscience, and generosity; she agreed and traveled there, soon finding how connected her quest was to the Kithain)

Vision

Weakness
Heaven-Sent


Like so many Neiterkobs, Adaeze's role is to fulfill a given task. Though this one is important, it is still a quest compelled by a source greater than hers. When will Adaeze think of herself?
Likelihood of Corruption


Low.

Adaeze proves, time and again, to virtually immune to corruption and tainted intent.
