Writing fanfiction for my Kingsglaive OC and needed to get the pics I took in Comrades into my fanfiction. This turned out to be more difficult than I thought so now there are going to be random posts with random pics that I took so I can access them easier. Booyah.

Name: Adele Steiner

Nickname: Steiner

Age: 30

Height: 7'2

Birthplace: Lestallum

Alliance: Loyalist

Occupation: Kingsglaive

Orientation: Demisexual

Royal Sigil: The Oracle (Healing Light)

Weapons: Battle Axe, Shield, Halberd, Crossbow

About: When the Crown City Incident went down the only thing Steiner remembers is someone calling her name and then darkness. She was told later that she was found draped half over an Ice Element Draw Point in the subway access tunnel near a secret passageway into the Citadel. She had a broken jaw and a severe skull fracture associated with blunt force trauma and at a guess had taken a mace or morning star to the side of her head.

She spent the intervening months up to the Eternal Night relearning how to walk and speak and function like a human being. She only knows her name because of a set of Hunter’s tags she was wearing and even then she wasn’t entirely sure those were hers until Libertus came looking for her.

She never relearned how to read or write so often times she have Talcott or Iris or Monica read reports to her. She takes missions based on the drawings next to them or by matching letters to a carefully written list of words to remember.

Most of her fighting skill comes from muscle memory and she makes sure to practice on the Practuar before each missions just to make sure the moves feel right. Sometimes she’ll get anxious about remembering how to do things correctly and will sometimes ask a team mate to double check that her belts and gauntlets are strapped on properly.

While the ice from the Draw Point she was found on prevented swelling in her brain and an Elixer took care of the cracks in her skull, not only did the superficial scars remain but her jaw required a delicacy of surgery that no longer existed and has long since healed wrong. Eating has become a bit of a challenge and her drinking straw is her most prized possession she is willing to happily commit assault over.

She can’t speak very well so she communicates with a combination of Military Hand Signals, half botched Sign Language and pre-practiced phrases that she prides herself in reciting with the minimal amount of slurring.

She discovered through Maledacio that she had worked alongside her father for the Hunters until she was sixteen and went to work in Exeneris with her mother where her magic manifested. While her father was killed early on in the Eternal Night her mother and remaining childhood friends still work in the Power Plant. Since she has no memory of them she tends to try and avoid them as often as she can. The Hunters, being more connected and familiar with Crown, were more understanding of her handicap which had been both more severe and more merciful in the memories it took. Instead of her amnesia being blamed on Astral Wrath it was placed on a well swung weapon.

She feels in her heart that she never betrayed the Crown and that she was and will be loyal until her dying day. She will never admit this to anyone and takes Bahamut’s Punishment willingly for although she was loyal she still failed to protect her King.

It’s her feelings of guilt about this and the state of the world that make her throw herself willingly into as many missions as possible and it’s usually Vyv who reminds her to bathe and take a break. She likes photos of her looking like a badass but she likes it more when there are photos of the people she’s worked with and fought beside. Her favorites are the pictures of the meals she shares with her team.

She nurses a bit of a crush on both Jeanne and Cindy because who doesn’t have a bit of a crush on both Jeanne and Cindy?

She is determined to live long enough to see the sun again and practices every day so that when Noctis comes back (and he WILL come back) she can clearly say “Welcome back Your Majesty”.

A Little Bit About Adele Steiner’s Family Tree

Red hair runs in her mother’s side of the family but usually likes to skip generations

The ancestor before Adele to have red hair was her maternal Great-grandmother Beatrix Cairom (The Blood Briar of Lucis) who fought in two intense battles under the Lucis Caelum banner. One under Noct’s great-grandfather and one under his grandfather, King Mors. The latter of which claimed her life and made her a Hero.

As a Kingsglaive Trainee, Nyx Ulric would see the plaque giving accolades to the Blood Briar of Lucis and her accomplishments and say that this is the person he would most like to be. Someone who did what needed to be done in order to protect her family and friends.

Cor actually did know Beatrix Cairom but never made the connection to Adele. But those climbing rose tattoos in combination with that red hair seems awfully familiar… And come with flashbacks of getting smacked upside the head.

Adele is named after her paternal great-grandfather Adelbert Steiner who was a renowned Hunter who went crazy and was last seen trying to fight a trolley pylon thinking it was a Catoblepas

Adele is a many many MANY times great descendant of Ardyn, which is where the red hair and broad shoulders come in. However the bloodline has been diluted over 2000 years so Adele’s connection to Noctis and the Lucii are about as close as Eos is to the moon.

The name Cairom is a mutated form of the name Caelum

Adele is the last of both the Cairom and Steiner lines.

Adele’s parents are named Beatrice (Cairom) Steiner and Arnesto Steiner

Her parents also go by the names Bert and Ernie because I think I’m funny at 4 a.m. and now the nicknames are stuck.

Steiner's Name

I noticed recently that when I answer these Oc Questions I answer two different ways. The first I talk about the past and the second I talk about after Steiner loses her memory.

I have decided to split Steiner’s name up to fit those descriptions better because I do feel that the Steiner of the past and the Steiner of the present are two very different people.

So now if I refer to Adele I’m talking about the past. When she was a child, her time growing up in Lestallum, her time in Insomnia. When I call her Steiner I’m talking about her present in The World of Ruin with a messed up face and even more messed up head.

I just thought I should make it an official post so that no one gets confused when I start referring to this OC as two different people.

Valentine Event: *Steiner's expression is one of mischief and excitement as she upends a large basket over Cindy's head, little pieces of paper with orange and pink roses (symbols of friendship and affection) clumsily drawn on them in crayon and pencil fall all around the Mechanic like petals from flowers that no longer exist*

Cindy’s hazle light up as the petals fall around her.  “Steiner!  Did you make these for me?  Makes me feel like a fairytale princess.”  She grins and picks up a petal.  “These are about the prettiest petals I’ve seen.  Sure wish they were still growin‘.  But hey, I bet we could do somethin’ about that couldn’t we?!”  Cindy gives Steiner a hug.  She picks up the petals and keeps them in a small box in her garage.  “Thank ya, Steiner.”
