Adriana looks like a
friendly, preppy cheerleading type, but when others speak to her they
soon realize she is the exact opposite. She tends to push away others
instead of making friends with them. She takes her job and legacy very
seriously and works hard to repair the damage her father caused for
their family name. She is usually quiet around others and prefers the
company of herself. She is known to be very well trained and doesn't
spend much time "hanging out", going to movies or any other mundane-like
activity. She thinks of the mundanes as something worth protecting and
she truly enjoys her job. Unlike most shadowhunters she does not have an
intense hatred of downworlders, unless they break the law.
The Whitelaws
are a very old shadowhunting family and tend to have a firm sense of
justice and no gray area when it comes to the rules. She usually follows this family tradition and keeps
her emotions in check. She is usually thought of as very cold and
unattached though somewhere deep, deep, deep, buried inside is a very
loving and warm person who she refuses to let come to the surface.
Adriana was born into a shadowhunting family from Washing, D.C. in America and grew up with a mostly
happy childhood. Her mother and father would spend the weeknights
slaying demons and the weekends taking her to various museums or parks.
She grew up well versed in the shadowhunting world and her parents
always made a point to have her well trained and instilled the
importance of upholding the family reputation. Her family was known
very well in the shadowhunting community with her great, great, great
grandmother being an inquisitor and her strong parents.
That all
changed on the eve of her sixteenth birthday. Her mother was killed by a
vampire and her father essential lost his mind. Her father spend days
and weeks crying, screaming her mother's name in the night. He at times
would ramble on as if she was still alive and set a place for her at
dinner. Adriana began to have to watch over him, and take care of him as
if he was a child. She laid awake many nights listening to him cry and
then spend mornings coaxing him out of bed, changing his clothes and
feeding him. As she watched her father go from a strong man to a
helpless child she vowed to never let herself become close to anyone.
She wouldn't risk turning into what her father had become. She finally
sent word to her grandfather in Idris for some assistance, and when he had come to America and had seen what his son had become he urged Adriana to go to Idris with him.
With much hesitation she finally agreed to go with her grandfather and help him with the circle's uprising. She packed up her family's things, sold the
house and left for Idris. Adriana's grandmother agreed to watch over her father, leaving Adriana free to study and train. She has been in Idris barely a week. She knows that others will find out what happened to her father and what he has become, but she also knows this is the only way. Adriana has tried to shut off that
loving, friendly side of herself and push others away to make it easier
in case something happens to them. She refuses to let her emotions get
the better of her, and ruin her life like they did her father....even if
that means acting like she has none at all.

RP sample :
Adriana sat alone on the grass at the park. She was not on a mission for the Nephilim, but she wasn't here for pleasure either. She was here to sort things out. She had made her way to the spot that barely twenty-four hours ago held the body of a dead shadowhunter. It had been a kid, a young boy barely at the age of fifteen. He had been found by a warlock who immediately summoned the Institute. It had been so out of place and unprovoked that it seemed unreal. There was no war going on, the boy had no political affiliation, it was senseless and random. Random was something that Adriana couldn't let go. She sat down a few feet from where the body was found and stared at the grass as if it would show her clues the harder she stared. The boy had a large gash on his neck, but no blood at the park which obviously meant he had been killed elsewhere. There was nothing on him that would give a hint as to why or who killed him. It was something that rarely happened.
Death was normal, death was expected. Shadowhunters died young everyday, but not like this. Innocent Nephilim children were not killed like this, it just didn't make sense. She wondered how the murdered got to him. It couldn't have been mundane, they wouldn't have stood a chance against even an untrained Nephilim. The Downworlders were for the most part peaceful so she didn't jump on conclusions to them. She figured it was probably a rogue demon, but where had this kid's parents been? It was unlikely that they let him just roam the streets at night so what took place? The institute had contacted the Clave and notified them of the murder. They sent out a team to retrieve the body and notify the parents who swore the child had been in his room the whole night. It was an odd situation, and they were quick to mark it down as unsolved and unlikely to happen again.
Adriana prayed that was the case. Their job was hard enough fighting evil things to have to worry over finding the small body of one of their own. It was a night that she wanted to forget, but she couldn't. She didn't like not getting justice for the small boy. That was why she found herself sitting in the park on a warm afternoon staring at a place in the ground. She hadn't marked herself with any invisibility runes, but she had dressed in a mundane like fashion and had a small dagger hidden at her waist. She wanted to think for a moment and this seemed like the best place for it. She sat back and took a deep breath.
