Adeline Morningstar
"No matter how many times knocked down, always gets back up."
Physical Description
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.
