Born to an affluent family, the youngest of three children, Ada was raised in comfort and love. She showed intellectual and social aptitude from a young age, and was sent to train as a companion aged 12. She became a licensed companion aged 19. By then, the war was raging, but being in the capital provided some shielding from its horrors. It was during this time that she achieved popularity with the social elite who were rich enough to avoid going to war, particularly Maxius Larimere, the son of the prominent politician, Isiah Larimere, who grew very attached to her. This attachment was what eventually led her to flee her home planet though, when he grew violently possessive, kidnapped her, and threatened to use his father's influence to ruin her reputation. He was blacklisted by the Guild for doing so, but she was too traumatised to take up new work for over a year after her ordeal. Living in hiding with her mentor and close friend, Sylva Proux, she slowly recovered her confidence. Eventually, she felt able to return to her work as a Companion, though not before taking up some training in self-defense. She did not intend to repeat her previous error of judgement. She has weathered her self-imposed exile relatively well, with her mentor and friends helping her to build a new life.
Appearance
Ada has a slender frame and moves gracefully. Her face is intelligent and her whole being is dedicated to the sensual. She has long, mahogany-coloured hair and keen hazel eyes. She takes care to always dress well, enjoying luxurious fabrics and fine jewellery, much of her wardrobe consisting of lavish gifts from past clients.
