She was top of her class, and in a school like Caelbury Academy, that's quite a feat. She prides herself on her academic achievements, but there is certainly more to her then brains. [b][u]Subject:[/b][/u] Discipline Department (or a subject, I don't know which) [b][u]Why is your character teaching here?[/b][/u] The students seem to think that Adira is only around to make their lives miserable. Although this is a benefit, that is not her reasoning. She came from a tough home situation, and Caelbury really turned her life around for the better. The teachers and staff pushed her, forced her to do better then she knew she could. She was inspired by them. And now, she wants to be the one who pushes her students for excellence. Maybe they won't look back and think "Oh wow, she was such a great role model". Most likely, they'll just be glad she didn't hang them from the ceiling by their toenails. [b][u]Personality:[/b][/u] Adira is many things. Confident, outgoing, stubborn, opinionated, and outspoken. She doesn't care who likes or dislikes her. She has a sharp tongue and is never afraid to speak her mind, even if what she has to say isn't very nice. She says it like it is and never sugar coats anything. “Life sucks, people suck, I suck. Suck it up and move on, thank you.” She takes no nonsense. She can be pretty scary when she's angry, and it isn't hard to set her off. She can not only dish out some cold punishment to her students, but a large majority of them are actually afraid she might murder them in their sleep or something. So basically, don't mess with her. Adira is not a very patient person. She doesn't like people who whine or complain. She actually finds some enjoyment from anyone she catches falling asleep in class. Not just her class, no - if she walks past a door and sees a student sleeping, she will barge into the class just to wake them up. She does have a soft spot for the younger boys, however. She hides it well, but sometimes she has the random urge to hug them and feed them marshmallows. --- [img] http://media.tumblr.com/188ab8a3c968bc4ffe1c73c8efe56c35/tumblr_inline_mu01xgOEyV1qek6vf.gif [/img] --- [b][u]History:[/b][/u] Adira was raised by 'tough love'. She was the only daughter in her family. With five older brothers, she learned how to stand up for herself as soon as she could speak. Her family didn't have much money. Her mother was a maid and was very often away from the kids, and her father had multiple women to 'take care of'. Her personality started to show in grade school. She was kicked out of both kindergarten and first grade the first week, and was not 'officially' in school until second grade. Amazingly, even with no prior schooling, Adira was able to perform the same level of work as her peers. A mere three years later - fifth grade - she was capable of highschool work. When she was in eighth grade, her parents officially went their separate ways. The children and their mother moved quite a distance. After the split, they were even more financially unstable. At some point, Adira dropped out of school to stay home and help her mother, who had fallen ill under all the stress. Later that year, at age 48, her mother passed away in her sleep. Cause of death was never determined, but the children believed she had cancer. Unknown to her, a fundraiser was held in her name. Her older brothers came together and raised a large sum of money to send their little sister to the best school they could find; Caelbury Academy. Adira was a little mad when she found out. She didn't like people acting like she needed their pity, or their money. But when she saw what Caelbury had to offer her, she couldn't refuse.
