personality: 
Shadow is a very kind guy and tends to think of others instead of himself. He is very giving and compassionate. He tends to be very empathetic and works to make things easier on others even though it might be harder on himself. Shadow is extremely hard to anger, the only thing guaranteeing his anger would be someone hurting someone defenseless. He cares for others and will give someone the shirt literally off of his back if they needed it. He enjoys the work of the council and allows himself to fully be involved in the workings of their government and studies when need be. He prefers to think of others before himself like any good abnegation guy and finds himself happy in his new division. He feels like he can actually excel in his new home.

history: 
Shadow was born into Candor and on the outside was the perfect Candor child. He was loud, open, and honest. He fit right along with all of the other Candor children. It was only at home that he could tell he was different. His sister wasn't born to be a Candor and their parents hated her for it. 

She was constantly being punished and Shadow hated them for it. He spent nights slipping her food and trying to comfort her as best as he could. It was the nights like that which made him realize he wasn't made for Candor. His sister had left for Dauntless and he was happy for her. It was a year later on his choosing day when he knew what he wanted. He wanted to be somewhere where he could help people. He wanted to belong to a place that made him feel human and normal. He wanted a place to belong and on his choosing day he picked Abnegation without hesitation.

Two years into being an abnegation transfer he has found himself as a junior council member in training to become on the actual council. He enjoys his job greatly despite missing his sister. He has not reached out to her in the many years since she left. Not wanting to cause her any pain or punishment by his visit.

Adelaide was in her element...working with people. She enjoyed listening to others, validating thoughts and making people feel better. No, she was not a doctor she couldn't heal wounds or broken bones, but she did heal minds. She healed emotions and cared for the mental stability of others. It was something she never expected. Growing up she was never allowed to care for others, she was never allowed to ask people how they felt or if they were sad. She was forced to ignore and shut off her emotions and ignore the emotions of others. Her father told her growing up that emotions were weakness. Despite all of the teaching it was something she was never good at. She always found herself wanting to talk to others, wanting to alleviate their stress and fears.



When she chose Amity her world shifted. She was welcomed with open arms, literally. She was shocked as strangers pulled her into a hug and didn't let go. It wasn't a brief hug for show it was a real, true, meaningful hug. She could tell in that one instant that these people truly cared for her. She was shown where she would be staying, and who her bunk mates were. They all talked and shared. It was like she finally felt free. She finally felt like she belonged, and finally in a place that she could flourish. Later on she was the one who approached the elder counselors and asked to be trained. She had watched them help her fellow Amity, and even other factions deal with their emotions. She watched how much they cared and worked to ease the pain of those they were helping. She wanted to do that, she wanted to be like them. The training had been going on for a few months and she happily found she had a knack for it. Sometimes there were bad days, sometimes she was yelled at, screamed at, cussed at. Sometimes people pushed her away, refusing to let her in but she continued with it. She persevered through the days with doubt and the days that were tough. She sometimes even silently thanked her father and mother for instilling determination in her, there wasn't much Dauntless left in her, but determination was there.



She found herself today at the school. She had shifted her training from adults to children in the past few weeks. She wanted to compare the two, and find out which one she was better with. So far it looked like the adults would be her main focus. Whenever she worked with the children she found herself encouraging them to share and feel which with the Amity was natural, but others like the Dauntless children ( and their adults ) refused. It was hard on her to watch kids fight and suppress their emotions. She could practically see the adults they would become and wanted them to dig deeper to see if it was someone they wanted to be or who their parents expected them to be. It was hard pushing those thoughts aside and purely focusing on making sure they were developing normally.



She had finished her few hours of training and got her papers signed. Pushing through the doors of the school she walked outside with her notes from the day. The weather was warm and sunny so she changed her plans from going straight back to the Amity sector to taking her time outside in the sunshine. She walked past the statue and made her way to one of the benches out front. She sat down and pulled the notes out, beginning to read them.
