PERSONALITY
On the surface, Adama is a cold, still pool of water, virtually untouched by outside influences and only showing the faintest of ripples. This tranquility and sense of detachment earned her the nickname "Ice Queen," given to her by her peers in her youth. She made the perfect Jedi, it seemed, never letting her emotions cloud her judgment. In most things this was true, but like in the ocean, currents can run deep. She feels emotions intensely, but instead of letting them come out in her demeanor or everyday actions she stores the energy away. It is only tapped into when necessary. When she was a Jedi, this intensity came out in her lightsaber duels. She is the eye of the storm, possessing an iron will that keeps everything utterly controlled.
While Adama has a strong sense of loyalty, it is more to herself than anything else. She would never go against her own principles, whatever they might be. It isn't selfishness necessarily, instead being a high sense of self-respect that many others in the criminal underworld seem to lack, or at least confuse with self-preservation. Her sense of justice has softened since being in exile, no longer being the lofty and perfect idealism of the Jedi. Adama's code is of a more realistic bent, as she realizes that the greater galaxy is a messy place painted in shades of gray. She has ceased looking to the Force for guidance and generally ignores anything having to do with Jedi, considering that she fled into self-imposed exile instead of facing the council for her 'crime' of accidentally causing the death of a fellow Knight. While she won't ever express it, she feels like the rumors spread after her departure reflect the lack of cohesion in the Order. That being said, she won't waste her time trying to dispel the myths that she turned to the Dark Side, joined the Sith Brotherhood, or the myriad of other things that have been speculated.
Her lightsaber skills are where she shines, boasting precision and speed. She was never one to favor the choppy, wild style of Juyo or the forceful Form 5. Form 4, even, Ataru, was much to flamboyant for her tastes. While not being a carbon copy of her master, Adama was nothingless strongly influenced by Chano and picked Niman as her primary form, with Soresu as her second. Adama moves with a fluid grace, taking to heart Form II's philosophy of being the "eye within the storm." Within this semi-meditative state her ferocity comes out to play, the duel becoming a dance between her and her opponent. As she was a formidable opponent one-on-one, she could also handle herself well on the battlefield. She fed off the chaos and unpredicability, letting it fuel her aggresssion in a way some would call dangerous had they seen what truely went on inside. If it were not for her iron will and self-control, it certainly might have been.
Adama is a reasonably tall woman with a lean, angular frame. She boasts no womanly curves to speak of, instead possessing a titanium-strength that one wouldn't suspect. Overall she is remarkably unremarkable, being able to easily pass as human in most situations. Her features are plain, with light skin and brown eyes. Having Firrerreo heritage, her skin turns a pewter color when she's upset. Her hair is black, cut in a choppy bob with straight bangs often swept out of the way. Adama couldn't be bothered to keep it nice or perfectly styled, let alone get frequent, professional haircuts to keep her style's shape. She prefers to forgo makeup of any kind except for formal occasions, and even then it is very natural, almost unnoticeable. Her clothing style is utilitarian, with simple lines and flexible fabrics. Most often she has on black pants, boots, and an orange jacket over a black t-shirt.
The one concession to her aversion to adornment is her stretched ears, kept at a small gauge. Most often she wears basic silver tunnels or opal plugs. When she's not on a mission or in physical training she'll wear butterfly charms through her tunnels. Alternatively, for formal occasions, she wears swan ear hangers.
Where Adama came from holds little significance to her story as she was given to the Jedi Order as an infant. She spent her childhood years in the Tython temple, having the rest of the younglings and her instructors as family. Early in her training it was discovered that she had was strong in the Force, having a gift for perception especially. Adama was called an ice queen by her classmates as a joke, referencing her stoic and reserved demeanor. She embraced it, and the only real time she wasn’t quiet and brooding was in physical training and sparring.
She was picked at the age of ten to be the Padawan of Jedi Knight Amee Chano, a woman known for honoring tradition and being a harsh taskmaster. She fostered her Padawan’s ferocity in combat, not condoning a love for violence necessarily, yet certainly feeding the more aggressive side of Adama's personality. One of most challenging training exercises was using candles and ball bearings arranged in a ring, the goal being to use a predetermined series of movements to knock the ball bearings off without melting the candles with the lightsaber blade. Chano used exercises like these to emphasize speed and precision over other qualities such as strength, as these were the core tenants of her personal style.
Adama and Chano went on many missions together, including some in the outer rim where armed conflict abounded. The pair grew close and a force bond formed between them during the long ten years that they worked together. After Adama passed her trials and became a Knight, they continued to work together on a regular basis. Over time, rumors spread about the pair potentially having nefarious associations or inclinations, as on a handful of occasions the Jedi they had been working with on a mission were killed in action or narrowly escaped. Chano would have none of it, and both of them decided to set things straight by tracking down the Jedi Hunter that was currently having a field day. Neither of them anticipated well enough the gravity of their mission, or the consequences of them embarking on it.

ABILITIES
"She's scary, man. That face she has on when she's about to fight? She's like a bull in a stall, and someone just has to open the door for her to let go. I've never seen a woman with that attitude. I feel bad for those people who have to face her. Good Lord." -- Adama's former master
Adama is a speed demon. As a youngling she would often win footraces and similar friendly contests of athleticism, and has she not been in the Jedi Order as a child, she would most likely be a professional track-and-field athelete or sprinter. Her reaction times are just as quick, though coming not from any natural ablility. Instead it comes from her years spent in the Jedi Order under Amee Chano's tutulage.Her lightsaber skills are where she shines, boasting precision and speed.
