NAME: Ada Vessalius
CANON: Pandora Hearts (manga)
CANON POINT: Post Chapter 54
AGE: 18
APPEARANCE: here!
PERSONALITY: Ada was born the younger of Zai Vessalius’ two children, but later became the elder after her brother Oz spent his time trapped in the Abyss. But Ada wasn’t so much raised by her father as she was by her Uncle Oscar. Nonetheless she was raised to be a proper noblewoman. That meant attending social gatherings and creating and maintaining a good image fit for the Vessalius Dukedom. In reality, Ada is a genuinely sweet-natured girl. She does not seem to allow herself to be personally affected by her social status either way personality-wise. Rather, Ada is an honest person whose face and eyes easily portray what she’s feeling. She is also rather intelligent; enough so to have earned the status of prefect in the private school which she attends. But it isn’t simply book smarts. Ada is also a very perceptive and empathetic young woman, who isn’t so easily fooled. The people around her mean a great deal to her and she worries a great deal for those who are closest to her. For those closest to her, she is willing to risk her life fighting for them even if she lacks the skills and abilities to do so. Even so, if there is a way to avoid fighting, that would be her preference, being a rather peaceful hearted young woman. That makes her also a rather ideal mediator when tensions arise.
Even when things are darkest, there is always a spark of optimism that remains with Ada, that drives her to try her best to do whatever she can in that situation to help. And while she is a fairly obedient young girl in most things, she continues to see the man she loves despite her family not accepting him, proving that she also knows when to stand firm in her own beliefs and for the sake of the things she truly wants. She doesn’t act blindly, but rather, wishes to act in the best interest of the people she cares about, as well as her own best interests, although she seems to often put other’s interests before her own.
She can be easily flustered by certain things such as close contact, flattering speech, and affectionate words or actions. But she is also a fairly affectionate young woman who sees and accepts both the good and bad in people. While she is rather perceptive of other people, she isn’t always right and can jump to conclusions when excited. However, she isn’t the type to judge people on appearances, first impressions, or the words of others. She looks at people closely and judges them for herself, looking deeper than the surface. While Ada tries to always see the best in others, she isn’t blind to people’s faults either, but rather finds ways of accepting those things.
But it is because her image is so important that her relationship with the man she loves and wishes to always be beside is not recognized and why she must hide her love for the occult. Her hobby of studying and immersing herself into the occult is a secret she shares with almost no one and her things are confined to the basement of the secondary mansion her Uncle gave to her; out of the eyes of the public. While it seems she receives things from her classmates on the subject, it seems to be something she hides quite diligently from most. She doesn’t even tell the man she’s dating despite having thought he was also interested in such things, until provoked to show her ‘true self’. And when he reacts badly at first, you can see that there is a part of her that fears her true self being rejected by the people she cares about, which could explain why she’s so reluctant to share it with others. But even so, it’s shown that she had always had some interest in dark, unusual stories even when she was a little kid, listening to stories that were normally meant to frighten children into behaving.
Because she worries for the people closes to her so and also because she lost her brother at such a young age, Ada doesn’t want to be alone. When her brother disappeared into the Abyss, even though she was young, she too did what she could to try and help find a way to save him. And when he returned the same age he had been when he left and she had grown older than him, she feared that he wouldn’t recognize her, or that he might reject her.
So despite being so strong willed, Ada is actually rather fearful of not being accepted. That and the fear of losing those close to her are probably her two greatest fears. While on the other hand, danger itself doesn’t scare her nearly as much, despite her lack of strength or fighting ability.
PROJECTED CLASS: Mage. Without question, Ada is meant to wield magic. Her love for the occult will drive Ada to choose magic first. In her mind, nothing else comes close. It will be a class that she will love and have great interest in and a strong desire to work at it and grow more proficient with it. It also suits her for the fact that she’s not strong physically, although her personality and canon point would drive her to want to choose something she can fight with. It’s likely she’ll choose Shaman when given the next choice.

SAMPLES
FIRST PERSON SAMPLE: threads
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE The desk was covered with an assortment of books, all gathered single-handedly by the eager looking girl preparing to sit herself down behind the desk. At a glance, there appeared to be no less than ten books of varying sizes and titles at her disposal, but Ada knew the real number was twelve. In her mind, she was… ‘starting small’. But in all, she had already come a far way from the dazed and confused girl who landed herself in Castle Dyspros, blankly staring at the ornate doors and tracing the pattern with one finger as she tried to piece things together.
In the time between when she had gathered all the details and now, Ada had made a number of decisions. The first was that she wanted to be here for the time being. And the second most notable was that she wanted to join one of the guilds in order to strengthen herself. With her last memories before she came here on repeat in her mind, she knew that she wanted to do something… to change in some way so that she could go back just a little more able and a little less powerless. That was the wish she sought to see granted.
Simple it may be, but it was as important as anything to her. And it was as much for the people she loved as it was for herself.
And when she had the choice - she couldn’t say no the prospect of the Mages’ Guild. The moment she heard of it, her heart was decided on it. The giddy way she paged through the books on magic attested to her great enthusiasm. “I’ve studied this kind of thing for so long… but who ever imagined I’d really be doing this?” She giggles happily and turns the page once more, eyes scanning over the page with wonder. “Vincent would be so shocked if he knew.” Again, she giggles, but this time because she can almost imagine the look on his face.
Too bad she’s blind to just how much horror would be (poorly) hidden behind his surprise.
