Adrianna Snowden had magic in her blood. Her father was a member of the Trismegistus Council and she had been raised to respect magic and its applications; to use it to better mankind and battle the corrupting influences of DEMON, the Circle of the Scarlet Moon, and others. Adrianna's childhood was rich with wonder and play. Her father, who had travelled much in his youth, managed to convince several of his friends form around the world to look into settling down in the same town, making something of a mytstic neighborhood; an area they could go about their studies and duties with out constant vigilance to the outside world. Adrianna had several friends who shared her interests in magic (though her worship of Gaia was something she did alone, it had been handed down by her grandmother) and they grew up to be as close as sisters. Aiko was the brilliant one, it was believed that she would become a member of the council. Brianne was the gifted one, an artist who actually had managed to learn rituals at the tender age of 11. Gabrielle was the enthusiastic one, she charged into whatever plans they made with gusto. Adrianne was the oldest, she protected everyone. When they attented Woodland, a liberal arts college near Oxford, Maine, Aiko found a ritual in a book she bought at a rare bookstore. The four girls thought the idea of summoning elemental spirits was dangerous, exciting, and eminently appealing. Waiting until graduation, they spent two years planning the ritual. Deciding that they needed to do the ritual in a natural setting, one that was both beautiful and secluded, they "road tripped" to Montana, and rented a cabin in the mountains. Although they never have revealed the extent of what happened during the ritual, the girls returned home a week later...changed. Adrianna had become a polished statue of a woman, strong and durable; Aiko had become a spirit of the water, flexible and versitile to the extreme, Brianne had become a wind spirit, beautiful, but capable of raging storms; and Gabrielle had embraced the fire spirit, enchanting, passionate, excitable. The four decided that their powers (which were great indeed) should be put to good use. They pooled their money and bought the land the cabin had been on, it turned out to be right on a gold vein. Hiring a few locals, they mined the vein and Aiko invested the dividends. The girls moved back to the east coast and bought an old manor house about 30 miles from Oxford (they had grown to love the area during college). Now they work as Heroines as well as doing "public" works for the Trismegistus Council, allowing the council to be active in the area but maintaining its secrecy. Adrianna is the mother hen of the group. Her elemental nature has made her stubborn and slow to change her mind. She also really enjoys combat now; particuarly against men. Not because she dislikes men, but because they tend to react so badly to being bested by a woman. Her religious beliefs and her elemental nature have made it difficult for her to find romance, but she doesn't seemed to terribly concerned with that at the moment. Being a superhero is a kick, and she has become alot more outgoing of late. "Let's Rock." "Gaia, lend me your strength." Being composed of stone has made Adrianna very strong and tough. She ranks among the sturdiest of heroes. Her "Brick Tricks" have been picked up quickly and it is believed that many of them might be more of an extension of her elemental nature than simply applied strength. She can take a beating and often acts as the front line for the Elementelles. She does however lament being the slowest. If she's too tough for your campaign. Lower her FInal STR to 60 and her CON to 30 (along with the drop in figured characteristics) and reduce the number or eliminate entirely, her Brick Tricks Multipower. If she need toughening up raise her DEF to 40 and final STR to 80. Possibly increase the Brick Trick pool to 90. Although she is a living statue, she is very pretty. Her hair is white marble, and still acts like hair, her eyes are a deep emerald green and her skin has the color and sheen of polished black marble. She wears her hair long and it now reaches the small of ther back. Being immune to temperature extremes, she tends to wears whatever clothing suits her personal tastes at the time; often flowing skirts (with bike shorts underneath in case she has to fight) and bikini tops. She wears a gold band hin her hair, on her left arm, and silver bracers on her wrists. She never wears shoes anymore.
