History:

Adalay grew up knowing everything about her father's side of the family. The magic, the mystery. Of course being a young child she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and as a result of being a child adults only smiled and let her think they believed her. As she grew older her interest in the magic faded and was replaced with a fascination with photographs. How the wizarding photos were different from the muggle. She couldn't quite pin how wizards got the images to live. To have a life. It only fueled her curiosity with the difference between muggles and wizards.
When she was 13 she dropped out of school. Her parents were furious and the only person to support her in her choice was her brother, Christian. They had fought all her youth but he agreed that she needed to follow her heart. When she was 15 her parents cut off all funding leaving it to Christian to help Adalay make it through the world on her own. She spent three years traveling to indian tribes learning what they thought of photos. She finally returned to her wizarding school in time to graduate at 18, the oldest in her class.
Christian and Adalay stayed close owning a home in Mossleaf village for a long while before she parted from him and moved to Ireland to study the myths that had been born. She had Chrisitan's own room in her home and kept it clean for him when he wasn't staying with her for the holidays. She hadn't spoken to her parents since she had dropped out of school.
Three years went by and at the age of 22 finally found a steady job with a small time photography business specializing in both muggle and wizard photos.

Personality:
Adalay tends to block out the world besides Chrisitan. She is timid at times, moreso, before she gets to know someone. When one finds their way into her heart she opens up to reveal a crazy sort of humor and air of maturity. She almost seems as if she's seen more of the world then welcome in her life. She avoids being serious unless someone is in true need. Her time spent on the indian reservations opened her eyes to a sort of apathy that only serves her well. She revels in moments of elegance and enjoys the moments of being a nerdy, video game loving, belching, farting, dirty joke making girl.

Adalay growled. None of the pictures were coming out right. The exposure of the sun in the background was just too much. She hated tampering the pictures with magic but muggles during their senior photo shoots were just so....irritating. She sighed and pointed her wand at the photos muttering a small spell under her breath. The exposure seemed to fade creating a contrast that seemed fitting for the look the young girl was going for. Adalay's attention was turned to the sounds coming from outside the dark room. The girl was shouting at her mother to try and make things go faster. She shook her head completely dumbfounded at the thought of a mother standing her child to yell at her like that.
After the photos seemed to have been dry enough she unclipped them and walked out of the small room into the dim showing room. She sat at the desk with her nameplate and smiled. The young woman scurried over sitting clumsily as her mother rubbed her forehead. Adalay spread the pictures out in front of the girl to a small gasp. She looked at the face of the girl. Pure awe. Adalay wasn't quite sure if that was a good thing or not but she wasn't gunna wait around for herself to be yelled at,

"So we can have all the prints you want done in 20 minutes if you would like to wait."

The girls gaze shot up to Adalay's face and she nodded eagerly. Adalay stood quickly and went into the back "printing room" She sighed and leaned against the closed door and smiled to herself. Reproducing the photos would take all of 30 seconds but she had to make it seem longer for the sake of the muggles out in the other room. She waved her wand and watched the copies fly from the one photo and land in a neat pile. She grabbed a ribbon from the left hand drawer of the desk in the corner of the room and tied the pictures neatly. She smiled and watched the clock.
When she was finally able to emerge she wore a smile and handed the girl the photos. Not a word was said just the sound of two people leaving her gallery. She sighed with relief and smiled. She turned her back to the door and laughed,

"Finally!" she said letting out a deep breath, "She's goneeee!"

Her hips did a small jig but stopped dead when she heard the door open. She froze in the awkward dancing position she had been in and slowly turned,

"Hello?" she asked locking eyes with the incomer.

What is the meaning of life? a big F-U-C-K T-H-I-S jkjk I love you guys.
