Above all else she's determined. Her driving force in life is when someone tells her no or that she could never do something. She's determined to the point of it becoming almost obsessive. When she has a particularly challenging goal in mind she can often get too focused on it, neglecting other things such as food and sleep. Determination pairs well with being stubborn of course. When she makes her mind up about something there is no changing it. She tends to think of things in very black or white terms, leaving very little room for other people's opinions. She can be a bit blunt sometimes, not because she doesn't care about people, but because she knows feelings can complicate things and the last thing she can afford in her professional life is to have anything complicate things. When it comes to her personal life there isn't much to tell because she doesn't have one. She tends to stay committed to her goals and that doesn't allow much time for making friends. She very much finds her worth in achievements and accomplishments. When she makes a mistake she tends to be extremely hard on herself and it can take a few days for her to get over it.


Adelaide Scott grew up in the small town of Alexandria, Virginia. She, like many other small-town girls, was a cheerleader, became homecoming queen, and even class president. She was every bit the all-american, small-town girl her adoptive parents hoped she would be. She got great grades, was never too much of a handful, popular, and dependable. She dated the same guy all through her high school years with plans of a marriage soon after graduation. Unfortunately three months before graduating she found out he was cheating on her...with her best friend. Gossip spread but she didn't care, she set her sights for greater things.

Her parents were supportive through the breakup and encouraged her to take a year off from school, to give herself time to relax and pull herself together. Adelaide had other plans. Never one to turn down a challenge, she applied at Harvard Med and when her parents tried swaying her to a less demanding college it only made her more determined to go. She had to apply for scholarships, her parents not being financially well off to say the least. The scholarships could only take her so far so she took on debt to make it happen.

She left her small town as quick as she could, setting her sights on a big college and a big career. She was accepted and soon devoted herself to her degree. She wasn't one to date, had no social life and didn't care about making friends. When her four years of college was up she was then accepted into a residency program in Lethford.

She loved the city, loved the fast-paced life that was so different from the one she was raised in. She jumped at every opportunity for training and clinical work. She passed the USMLE and began working in the hospital as a resident in the critical care unit three months ago. She loved the work. Loved the challenge that each day brought. The challenges seemed to keep coming though, with more sick being brought in by the day. Since the virus was identified her life feels like it's in non-stop mode. She tends to work around the clock, often catching only a handful of hours of sleep in the doctor's rooms before jumping back into her shift. She sometimes wonders what life is like back in the small town she grew up with, if her parents were staying safe. Not that it matters, Lethford city is at the epicenter with all medical hands on deck and she's finding out this might be the biggest challenge of her life.
