Personality: Growing up the baby of the Mercer family, not to mention the only girl, Adrienne developed a bit of a tendency to act a little spoiled sometimes, as well as a feistiness that only comes from having a twin brother who constantly looks for ways to annoy her. While she was sorted into Ravenclaw upon entry to Hogwarts at eleven years old, and she reflects that house’s love of books and learning, as well as its intelligence, there is also a little streak inside her of the Slytherin (which is less curious when you consider her twin brother was sorted into Slytherin). Her claws especially come out when someone threatens her shoes or pets, since she is extremely protective of both. Sometimes though, it may almost seem she cares about her shoes more. But in general, she is a friendly, polite, intelligent sixteen-year-old girl, with the inherited ability of Legilimency which she tries to hold back on using even though she's developed a good amount of control of it over the years, which is willing to give most people the benefit of the doubt. She values her friendships, and would do anything for her friends and family (even if sometimes they drive her up the wall). She also doesn’t overlook the usefulness of a good prank now and then, as long as it’s not done to her, and is a bit clueless when it comes to knowing if a boy likes her.
Background: Adrienne was born on February 19, 2053, two minutes after her twin brother Riley, and started her life as the only daughter of Steven and Rose Mercer. Rose, originally known as Rose Devereaux, was a star chaser for the Quiberon Quafflepunchers when she was younger, but gave that up a few years after meeting Steven, who works for the British Ministry in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. After they got married, Rose moved with Steven to England, where they currently live on a fairly large estate with their three children and any pets.
At a young age, they discovered their daughter had inherited the Devereaux ability of Legilimency, which had skipped over Rose, although her mother Marie had it and was fairly skilled with using it. So the annual trip to the Devereaux estate in France started, so Marie could help little Adrienne learn about her ability and use it more appropriately. At first, Rose went with her, taking both twins, but as Adrienne got older, she was allowed to travel on her own. Mainly after her and Riley turned eleven and started going to Hogwarts, since her being sorted into Ravenclaw convinced their parents she was responsible enough to be trusted to go to France on her own.
At Hogwarts, things were made easier since Adrienne had her best friend Chloe there with her, even though Chloe had been sorted into Hufflepuff. Oddly enough, her brother’s best friend, Phoebus McAllister, had ended up a Ravenclaw along with her, which certainly made things interesting among the foursome, although it still sort of remained split along gender lines. But Adrienne has managed to make a niche for herself at school, playing Quidditch and going to classes when she isn’t doing something or other with Chloe or anyone else. And, going into her seventh year, the foursome of Adrienne, Riley, Chloe and Phoebus has gotten more confused, which is something that is on Adrienne's mind often. Not to mention the stress of dealing with NEWTs on top of the fact she was made Quidditch Captain.
