Authors Note:
Hey there, reader! Like all my stories, this chapter is optional to read, however it is really good for all the information you need to know before reading. The new introduced OC, keys, all that sort of stuff! So I hope you enjoy my book! Also, I am changing a little bit of the Umbrella Academy storyline, and adding some things in to fit the idea of my OC.
WARNING - There will be topics that may be sensitive to some readers, such as drug use, adult themes, language, mental instability, all that. So please read with caution and if you feel like something is upsetting you, please do not continue to read <3
DISCLAIMER - I do not own any of the rights to any imagery, characters or original Umbrella Academy content. I simply own my own character and her backstory. Plus the way she affects the other characters
Adeline Darko (Played by Lucy Hale) (The cover is a photo of Olivia Cooke)
Full name: Adeline Portra Darko
Age: 30 years old
Number: Eight
Abilities: To manipulate human energy into different forms of energy (Fire, Electricity, telepathy, spirits)
Backstory: Adeline Darko was taken in as one of the eight children Reginald Hargreeves took care of. However, the other children never knew of her existence. After Reginald feared she was becoming much too powerful for herself, he kept her away in the greenhouse, not telling the other children of her existence. At the age of ten, she was beyond Reginald's care, and he sent her away to a psychiatric hospital to remain hidden. There, she was beaten, abused and drugged into submission after the staff found out about her abilities. When she was fourteen, she murdered one of the staff in a rage at him, resulting in her being sent to Juvy. She stayed there until the age of eighteen, where she moved onto State Penitentiary. She was released two years later for good behaviour with the promise of her going to rehab for six months. She was out for a few months, but violating her patrol sent her back until she was twenty four. She got out. Living a life of fear and financial struggle. Reginald eventually sent her money to keep her quiet and away from the family to which she bought an apartment with. She lived a life of peace and loneliness for a few years, until a few days ago...
IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Please understand, I have cut out and added a few things from the original Umbrella Academy storyline in order to fit in a new character. I have seen in the past a few people get antsy in the comments about 'Trying to make Klaus straight'. Please do not think that is what I am doing. Klaus's character has been described as Pansexual by Robert himself, so that is how I am expressing his character in this story as well. So, you know, don't come for me.
Story Keys:
****** - Time skip in the story
Italic Lettering - A conversation or thought within the characters head
Plain bold writing - Authors notes, a break in the story
****** - End or start of a flashback/dream that the character is experiencing
Conclusion
I have nothing else to say in this chapter except I hope you enjoy this fanfic. Like I said, I own pretty much none of the rights in this book, nor am I making any profit off of it. I simple wrote it as a fun read for people to continue fangirling over the series while they wait for the second season.
I hope you enjoy!
