'''Adeline''' is a major supporting character in the ''Smoke of Revolution'' series. Originally a simple refugee displaced by the [[Merlesia Incident]], she rose to prominence as the compassionate and tenacious leader of the Merlesian refugees. In Volume 2, she becomes the tactical commander of the [[Roake Resistance]], leading the defense of the West District against the [[Eclipse]] cult.

Adeline is characterized by her unwavering altruism, resilience, and natural charisma, which inspires loyalty in those around her. She shares a deep, complex bond with the protagonist, [[Asep]], serving as his moral anchor and primary love interest.

== Appearance ==
Adeline possesses a simple, unassuming beauty that belies her inner strength. She has shoulder-length dark brown hair, which she usually keeps tied back in a practical, loose ponytail or braid to keep it out of her face while working. Her eyes are a warm, compassionate shade of brown, often described as holding a deep well of empathy and resilience.

Her attire reflects her humble background and practical nature.
* '''Volume 1:''' She wore the worn, simple clothing of a commoner—a plain blouse, a sturdy long skirt, a leather corset for back support, and a soft, off-white scarf draped around her neck. She carried a lantern at her waist.
* '''Volume 2:''' As a resistance leader, her outfit became more utilitarian. She retained her signature scarf but added durable leather boots, a thicker coat for the mountain cold, and a utility belt. She initially carried her father's old hunting crossbow on her back. By the climax of the Liberation of Roake, she wielded the prototype '''Type-2 Rapid-Fire Arbalest'''.

== Personality ==
Adeline is defined by her profound sense of responsibility and selflessness. Thrust into a leadership role she never sought, she prioritized the survival of her people above her own well-being, often pushing herself to the point of exhaustion. She possesses a natural charisma born not of authority, but of shared struggle; she leads from the front, eating the same meager rations and sleeping in the same cold barracks as her followers.

Despite her gentle demeanor, she has a core of steel. She refused to abandon the refugees even when offered safety in Loriana, choosing instead to lead them to the dangerous settlement of [[Roake]] to find work. When the Eclipse cult attacked, she organized a militia from scratch, displaying surprising tactical acumen and courage under fire.

Her relationship with Asep reveals a softer, more vulnerable side. She finds comfort in his steady presence and humor, allowing herself moments of weakness only when with him. However, her sense of duty often overrides her personal desires, leading her to postpone their relationship until her people are safe.

== Abilities ==
=== Leadership & Strategy ===
* '''Tactical Command:''' Adeline has no formal military training but possesses an innate talent for organization and logistics. In Roake, she successfully coordinated the defense of the West District, managing scarce resources, setting traps, and maintaining morale against overwhelming odds.
* '''Charisma:''' Her genuine empathy inspires fierce loyalty. She successfully united disparate groups—refugees, miners, and former cultists—under a single banner. Her speeches, though simple, resonate deeply with the common people.

=== Combat Skills ===
* '''Marksman:''' Adeline is a proficient shot with a crossbow. She initially used her late father's heavy hunting crossbow for defense.
* '''Type-2 Arbalest Mastery:''' During the Battle of Roake, she wielded the experimental '''Type-2 Rapid-Fire Arbalest''' (Prototype) developed by Asep and Treste. She used it to devastating effect, providing suppression fire and utilizing High-Explosive (HE) bolts to break [[Estella Aria]]'s magical barriers.
* '''Resilience:''' While physically an ordinary human, Adeline possesses immense stamina and willpower, allowing her to function under extreme stress, sleep deprivation, and hunger.

== History ==
=== Volume 1 ===
Adeline first appears as the representative for the refugees fleeing the [[Merlesia Massacre]]. She advocates for her people in [[Loriana]], petitioning [[Zachary Valente]] for aid. During the Battle of Silvercreek, she leads a volunteer militia to support the Castalia Company, proving her willingness to fight. In the epilogue, she makes the difficult decision to lead her people to the mining town of Roake to find work before winter, sparking Asep's journey in Volume 2.

=== Volume 2 ===
In Roake, Adeline finds herself in the middle of a humanitarian crisis caused by the [[Eclipse]] cult. She organizes the resistance in the West District, holding the line against cultist raids and [[Thrall]] attacks. She is reunited with Asep when he infiltrates the city, and together they coordinate the final liberation. During the climax, she fights alongside [[Renalla]] and [[Orwella]] to defeat High Overseer Estella Aria. Following the victory, she becomes the de-facto administrator of the liberated city, overseeing the rebuilding efforts.

== Relationships ==
* '''[[Asep Muhammad Ridwan]]:''' Her savior and confidant. Adeline is deeply grateful to Asep and harbors romantic feelings for him, appreciating his humor and hidden kindness. However, she prioritizes her duty to Roake over pursuing a relationship, though they share a mutual promise to wait for each other.
* '''[[Gustav]]:''' Her father, a craftsman who died during the riots in Merlesia. His death is a driving force behind her desire to protect others. She carries his hunting crossbow as a memento.
* '''[[Zachary Valente]] & [[Princess Adreana]]:''' She respects them as leaders and allies, working closely with them to coordinate the relief efforts and military campaigns.
* '''[[Estella Aria]]:''' Their relationship was antagonistic, but Estella's dying words were directed at Adeline, asking her to take care of Asep, a request that confused and haunted her.

== Trivia ==
* Her resemblance to **Fatimah**, Asep's past love interest from Earth, initially caused Asep to keep his distance. However, he eventually comes to see Adeline as her own person.
* The scarf she wears is handmade, originally a gift intended for her father before he died.
* She has a high tolerance for Asep's bad jokes and is one of the few people who genuinely laughs at them.
