Adeline Dark Horse

Characters

The souls caught between Heaven's light and Hell's embrace

Adeline Morningstar
The Dark Horse • Protagonist

Adeline Morningstar

"No matter how many times knocked down, always gets back up."

Physical Description

Age17
Height5'7"
BuildSlender, agile, toned

Long white hair flowing past her shoulders frames a pretty face with soft cheekbones and smooth pale skin touched by natural flush. Her vibrant blue eyes are bright and striking. Large white wings—elegant, soft, feathery—extend from her back. She wears black sleek armor with white fur trim, and around her neck hangs Mary's Tear, a diamond pendant that doubles as a weapon.

Background

Born in Hell to Lucifer and Eve, Adeline was raised there until age 5. Lucifer found her as a three-year-old wingless angel after the Hell war—her wings removed by Abraham, an act only a superior god could perform. During Lucifer's desperate search through the Labyrinth for Eve and a way to restore her wings, Adeline was alone in Hell for what felt like a year. These traumatic memories were suppressed when she received Cordelia's regenerating wings.

At age 5, Lucifer brought her to the Appalachian Mountains where she trained in secret isolation until her 17th birthday. She views Lucifer as her father figure, their bond absolute.

Secret Identity: The Dark Horse—Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. Created by God to be used against the other four Horsemen. Her destiny is transformation, not destruction.

Personality

On the surface: kind, quirky, energetic, considerate. Strong-willed and caring, loyal to a fault. Funny, witty, charming, sarcastic—confident and comfortable in her own skin.

Beneath that: insecurity masked by wit, self-doubt hidden under confidence. Not naive, but emotional. Fiercely protective of Lucifer, terrified of losing him, of being alone again. She makes friends easily but maintains emotional boundaries. Trust must be earned—and it takes a lot to earn.

Powers

  • Super Speed — Primary ability, exceptional velocity
  • Flight — Via white wings (Cordelia's gift)
  • Twin Black Swords — Will against fate, signature weapons
  • Regeneration — Enhanced healing
  • Dark Horse Alpha — Ultimate form (develops over series)

Key Relationships

Lucifer Father Figure

Deepest attachment. Fears losing him. Protective.

Catalina Love Interest

Growing romantic connection. Mutual understanding of being "different."

Phoenix Rival

Hostile rivalry. Recipient of "Pigeon" taunt.

Warren Authority

Tense respect vs mistrust. Reluctant allies.

Lucifer Morningstar
Fallen Creator • Father Figure • Mentor

Lucifer Morningstar

"Every fall is a form of flight."

Physical Description

Height6'3"
BuildMuscular, jacked
EyesGleaming red

Strikingly handsome with long black hair and a rugged five o'clock shadow. Intricate tattoos cover his body. He wears a long, uniquely designed red trench coat over black and red clothing—a bounty hunter aesthetic. A massive buster sword rests across his back.

Background

Former right-hand man to God, Lucifer worked alongside Abraham creating universes in the Labyrinth. Then he fell in love with Eve and showed her the multiverse—introducing free will to existence.

God's response was absolute: He erased Eve's soul from eternity. Lucifer couldn't fight back against his creator. He was banished to Hell not for treason, but out of grief.

He found and adopted Adeline, choosing Earth and his daughter over ruling Hell. He still loves Eve. Her soul-fragment remains hidden inside him, placed there before her erasure with the instruction: "Protect our daughter."

He would destroy the universe for Adeline.

Personality

Very chill, laid-back, cool—the typical relaxed dad type who happens to be the most feared being in creation. Extremely powerful but nonchalant about it. Stays cool under pressure. Witty, protective, weary with the weight of eons.

He trains Adeline as a soldier because he knows what's coming. Every gesture is deliberate. Power is constantly restrained. Ancient weariness shows in micro-expressions. His wings serve as an emotional barometer. Guilt manifests as physical tension.

Voice

Measured, precise word choice. Uses questions as teaching tools. Formal but warm with Adeline. Thinks in metaphors—"cycles," "ripples." Sounds weary and amused at once.

Adeline and Catalina
Pop Star • Savior Rook • Love Interest

Catalina Star

Music is the soul of herself.

Physical Description

Age17
HairPink & blue cascade
EyesStriking teal

A rainbow cascade of pink and blue hair—vibrant streaks, voluminous and bold. Heart-shaped face with high cheekbones, light freckles scattered across fair skin. She wears pink outfits (cute, slightly revealing) with a collar bearing a heart pendant.

Background

Created by a government experiment using DNA from an asteroid—interdimensional superior human DNA. Designed to be genetically "perfect" and given free will as part of the experiment. Her powers were an unintended consequence.

When her abilities manifested, Warren advocated for her freedom. Her origin is classified—only Warren knows the truth.

Her pop star career is genuine passion. Music is how she proves her humanity, her individuality. Clone anxiety haunts her—she tries not to think about her artificial origin. Existential questions linger beneath the surface.

Personality

Determined and capable—gets things done. Highly intelligent. Confident as a performer. Direct in speech, no hedging. Offers practical solutions immediately. Uses grounding statements in crisis: "Look at me." "Breathe."

Physical contact is her primary comfort language. She reaches for Adeline instinctively. Her voice softens during crisis. She maintains eye contact when Adeline can't.

Powers

  • Sonic Manipulation — Through music
  • Flight — Via energy/sonic (NOT wings)
  • Gravity Manipulation — Environmental control
  • Environmental Control — Eve from Invincible-level power

Romance Arc

Season 2 Primary Antagonist • Creator God

Abraham

Returns to correct the error.

Creator of ordered existence (Heaven). He erased Eve from eternity. He banished Lucifer. He rewrote Adeline as a "copy" to hide her true origin. He removed her wings—an act only a superior god could perform.

Deceased/Erased • Adeline's Mother

Eve

Legacy

The cost: blood sacrifice required for Labyrinth navigation.

Her feather later merges with Adeline. She represents Mercy in the final transcendence.
