WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,
ADARYN GENESIS BRESLIN
They told me all of my cages were mental, so I got wasted like all my potential
BASICS
NAME: Adaryn Genesis Breslin
AGE: 23
BIRTHDATE: June 29th, 2000
PRONOUNS: She/Her
SEXUALITY: Demisexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single
OCCUPATION: Kindergarten teacher
NEIGHBORHOOD: East End
MEMBER GROUP: Gifted
POWERS:
Pathokinesis - Adaryn can both see and manipulate emotions. Each emotional type has a distinctive color shade that appears as an aura around a person, with more intense emotions being more opaque and dense in appearance, and more minor of feelings appearing almost like a haze or mist. Think irritation being a pinkish haze while fury is a dark, opaque maroon. She isn't able to create emotions out of nothing, but she can enhance or reduce existing emotions with little issue. Maintaining those changes and the length of time she is able to do it depends on the intensity. The more intense an emotion, the more difficult it is to maintain for extended periods of time. In addition, she has a high likelihood of being manipulated herself if she maintains certain emotions, as she has to essentially pull them towards herself. It's not always the easiest, but she has learned to shield her mind so that she can block out the visuals. She has to, if she wants to stay sane, that is.
THE LOOKS
HEIGHT: 5'5"
WEIGHT: 120 lbs
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
EYE COLOR: Blue
FACE CLAIM: Emily Rudd
OVERALL APPEARANCE: Adaryn is a girl who prefers to fade into the background, and her style of dress reflects that. She tends to wear solid colors, in more neutral or soft tones. She also can almost always, unless it is the dead of summer, be seen with some sort of cardigan in an array of styles and lengths. The only place she deviates from that, really, are her socks and shoes. She has a number of different patterns for her shoes (along with some classic and simple boots and sneakers), and definitely doesn't shy away from interesting patterns on her socks. At one point, she had long dark hair that fell to her lower back, but now she keeps her hair in a light, long layered bob, rarely ever letting the hair go too far past her collarbones if she can help it.
INSIDE
LIKES: watercolor art, drawing, earl grey tea, hot teas in general, sunrise and sunset, fall weather, noise-cancelling headphones, reading.
DISLIKES: Coffee, sugary syrups, too much physical touch, crowded spaces, thunder storms, smoking, sherpa
STRENGTHS: Empathetic, Patient, Imaginative, Driven, Adaptable
WEAKNESSES: Overthinking, Independent to a fault, Guarded, Anxious
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Adaryn is a kind, gentle soul. She is always one to want to help others in any way she could, will approach every problem with a careful and analytical hand. When interacting with others, she is kind, smiling, but most would call her a bit quiet. She isn't the greatest in indulging in small talk, but she does have topics that will keep her talking for hours. Her art, for one. Animals, for two. She's also very good with kids, always happily indulging in the silliest things if it means entertaining and teaching her students. Outside of the teacher persona she has, she is far more guarded. Her meticulousness is from her anxiety and fear of making mistakes. She isn't quick to believe she deserves to have close friends, so she tends to keep people at an arms length. She is hyper independent, and almost always putting on her DIY boots to try to get things done because she'd rather do things herself than ask and potentially bother another human being. Ultimately, she's passionate, but trauma has bruised her quite heavily and she's still trying to figure out how to heal.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN: Chicago, Illinois
FAMILY: Cedric and Anabelle Breslin, Carly Breslin, Louise Breslin (d.2015)
PETS: Orange tabby named Chico, Black cat named Raven
HISTORY: [TW - Death of a Family Member] Adaryn grew up in a chaotic home, being the good and quiet Breslin child while her eldest sister was viewed as a 'terror'. Louise was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and the family spent all it's waking moments working with Louise. Their father was the breadwinner, and their mother was an exhausted stay at home mom.
Over the years, because of Adaryn's general easy-going nature and Louise's... not, it was easy for her to be pushed to the sidelines. The focus had always been on her sister, and it meant a lot of the bullying endured by her sister also went unnoticed. "You know how she is," was a common household saying. Still, her mom adored Louise despite everything, and let Addie fall to the wayside.
When Addie was 12, her youngest sister Carly was born. Three years later, when Addie was 15, her parents went on a rare outing, a date night after Louise had expressed exceptionally good behavior lately, and Adaryn was old enough to watch Carly. What was supposed to be a positive night for the family turned into a horror film. Louise had said something that, essentially, became the straw that broke the camel's back. It unloaded a huge amount of anger, and Addie's power manifested, and somehow she had attached to some level of depression that Louise felt. They had a long, drawn out fight, but Adaryn ultimately went back to her room to care for Carly.
It wasn't until hours later when her parents returned home that she found out what happened. They found Louise, and her mother spiraled. Addie didn't realize what she had done then, and neither did her parents, but somehow they attributed her sister's death to Addie.
A year later, Addie was sent to live in California with a cousin, as they were the only few family members that were willing to take her.
From that point, she retreated, careful not to let anyone know what she could do - could see - to try to live as normal of a life as possible. She finished highschool with decent enough grades, went to College and got her degree in early childhood education. With the teaching shortage, they hired her as a kindergarten off the bat, while they allowed her to actively pursue certification. So that is what she is doing now - trying to make it in the world and making her best effort.
