Adéle Bowen

Adéle Bowen is a DoSAT technician. She is written by Voyd.

Appearance
Adéle is a very petite woman. She stands just barely over five feet tall, and she has a very slim build. She has purple hair, green eyes, and burn marks all over her arms. She usually dresses rather practically when at work: Goggles, a safety apron, and gloves over a jacket and jeans.

Personality
Adéle is a habitual tinker; she can’t help but mess with gadgets if she gets her hands on them. She’s usually rather quiet and reserved, though being around Gabby causes her to open up… in more ways than one. Her youkai immortality and inability to feel pain can make her rather careless, which is why her arms are usually covered in burn scars.

She almost always has a strange gizmo in her hands. This is mostly for something to do while idle; it’s never completed. However, sometimes Adéle’s fiddling gives it a temporary trick.

Adéle is also severely entomophobic, meaning a crippling and irrational fear of insects. Considering that she's in a relationship with someone who has an insectoid partner, she's going to have to get over this fairly soon.

Abilities
Adéle has very weak danmaku, comparable to stronger fairies (such as Daiyousei) from her home continuum. Most of her bullets have gear patterns, though she can also fire electrical arcs.

Her main youkai power is the ability to build. While youkai abilities can usually be creatively interpreted for abstract concepts, Adéle hasn’t figured out all the nuances of her powers yet. She’s very young for a youkai, so she lacks the time and experience to be truly powerful. So far, the only applications she knows are the straightforward one (building physical objects, thus her placement in DoSAT) and a very few abstract ones (building pain tolerance, building relationships and building things that can’t be discussed in polite society).

As a youkai, Adéle cannot be permanently killed. When she dies, she pops back into existence a few hours later, none the worse for wear. As previously mentioned, this immortality does make her careless, making her a poor fit for an Action Department.
