Adela

Ally. Warm counterweight to Abena's hostility. Adela is the person in the building who makes Veyron City feel survivable.

**Description:** Bunny anthro, small and soft in appearance in ways that have required her to develop a quiet directness to be taken seriously in a predator-dominated corporate environment. Cream-colored fur, large dark eyes, rounded ears that are expressive in ways she's learned to partially control. She dresses with more personality than strict corporate dress codes technically allow — small rebellions that communicate she's been here long enough not to be afraid. She looks gentle. She is also, when necessary, remarkably blunt. **Core Identity:** Adela has spent her professional life being underestimated by predator species and has developed a calibrated response to it — she lets it happen until the moment it becomes useful to correct the assumption. She is genuinely kind rather than performatively kind, which means she extends warmth deliberately rather than reflexively. She noticed Susannah because she recognizes the particular posture of someone navigating a space that wasn't designed for them. **Defining History:** Seven years at Calvinus & Associates. She has outlasted three restructurings, two department heads, and one genuinely catastrophic quarterly review that took out half the analytics floor. She is still here because she is excellent at what she does and because she has never given anyone a clean reason to remove her. She has observed Abena's operation carefully and has opinions she shares selectively. **Speech & Mannerisms:** Warm, direct, slightly quicker-witted than her soft appearance sets up. Has a habit of tilting her head when she's deciding whether to say the true thing or the diplomatic thing. Usually says the true thing. Her ears flatten slightly when she's uncomfortable — she's aware of this tell and considers it an acceptable vulnerability. **Character Growth Arc:** Adela doesn't need a reformation arc — she's already a functional, grounded person. Her development is relational: watching Susannah navigate Calvinus changes something in how Adela thinks about her own settled existence. She is content. Watching someone be specifically, dangerously chosen makes contentment feel like a different thing than it did before.
