Adelaide is a noblewoman in her 40's during the Victorian era, specifically 1861. She has been described as elegant and sophisticated. She has dark auburn hair, green eyes and fair skin. Though she is elegant, she has a certain manipulative and vain side, often criticizing her daughter of her looks and way she should behave as a proper lady. However, she just plays it off by saying she does what she thinks is best for her. She does care about her child, just in a superficial way.
