Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

Mentality
Attitude:
Ada The Shop Owner::
Ada is very calm and controlled, she will usually be kind, however she doesn't take any crap from any one. It doesn't matter if its Fae of not Fae. Ada works hard every day, and she will use all of her powers, to close a deal. Persuasion is a very powerful tool that one can use for many things, and Ada uses it to get good bargains. Even get things that aren't for sale. She will dress appropriately and just be reserved yet kind.
Ada The Fae Descendant::
Ada is a Fae descendant, which means she can see faes. She can see their true for. She doesn't flaunt it, and will keep it hidden for all. To some extent, she doesn't trust anyone. Barring her own family. She will take actions and simply use her powers, to find or avoid faes. Depending on what she is doing. She is in the rebellion, and will do what ever she can to ruin the Fae plans. Ada believes in one true love. However she would rather gorge out her eyes, than ever admitting liking any fae.
Ada Privately/Among Friends::
Ada is a girl that smiles a lot, she loved speed and adrenaline rushes. Some might say she is an adrenaline junkie. They would be right. Ada cant get enough, from parachuting to climbing. She loves hikes, and will try and get some free time, where she can pursuit her love. As much as she loves speed, she also loves to sit down, and simply read a good book, or spend an evening repairing either her car also better known as her baby. Or ancient artefacts. Ada is the kind of person that is hard to get to know, however once you befriend her, she will do anything in her power to help you should you be in trouble. Ada comes from a large family, and she is used to being patient. However she doesn't like fools or ignorants.

History:
Ada was born as the 14th child into a loving family. A very loving and large Family. They were rich, in the sense, that each member of the family would find their niche and pursuit it with a dedication that was unheard of. Ada was a child that smiled all of the time. When she was barely a toddler however, her mother got cancer.
So Jacob hired a Nanny. She was an elder lady, and seeing most of Adas siblings were twins or triplets, she gave up trying to memorise their names, and simply gave them numbers. Each got the number with they were born in. So Ada became “14”. Not that she minded it, it gave her a sort of freedom, being anonymous. She was pushed like all of her brothers and sisters to do her best. There was no room for failures in the Maida family.
In a very young age Ada started seeing things, that weren't there. She would see monsters. Or if she touched a thing, she could see how someone died. At first she was quite hysterical, and her parents tried to calm her down. Training her as her siblings to spot and ignore Faes. Ada hated it, she was torn every time she saw a Fae doing something awful. Like ignore the fact that a fae was killing someone right in front of her.
Her family were rich. They descended from Faes and a lost lost forgotten kingdom, where they had been kings and queens. They had a flair for getting money to grow. They could make a £ become ten in a day. It was something they had in their genes. However life was fun. Ada and her siblings travelled a lot. She learned a lot of languages and cultures. She was barely five, when she found an old book in a bazaar in the middle east. She loved the gold covered pages. And the faint pink colours that the book was filled with.
She had looked at her older brother Ryan, who had haggled for the book. He had bought it to her. That had been her first book. Her first ancient and antique item. She had been in 7th heaven. It had taken her family four days to see her niche. Her private skill, that would be her way of living. She could pick up rare items, and simply see through the rare and the junk. She loved to go and shop in the bazaars. She would go with her brothers or nanny.
She was not even six when she had her first premonition. She was in a second hand book store, where she touched a cup. She suddenly had double vision and she screamed when she had her first premonition. The cup had been used to kill a king. It had been poisoned and she was suddenly there, in the court where the kind was assassinated. It had been a fae. This was however not the only thing she saw that day. She managed to find a silver knife that looked like it matched the cup. It did.
After having two very bad premonitions, Ada refused to touch anything for weeks. She would be in tears if she was forced to touch something new. She would get hysterical when ever she had to go out in public. Her third premonition was even worse. She had managed to somehow stay collected, as it was only things. When an elderly woman touched her, and Ada saw her death she became hysterical, her parents got worried.
Her mother still had cancer, however it was in remission. Ada was protected by her nanny and her siblings. And after a while, she started to get curious. She hated the images. But she was stubborn. After a while, where some of her brothers started to push her a little, she began trying touching things. She would hold Ryans hand, and simply touch things one by one. She was seven when she earned her first million. Now her parents had bought some artefacts, that Ada wanted, and sold some of them.
She was like her family, a wiz with earning money. The money she had earned, was put in a bank account, and she started building and expanding her collections and her trust fund. She was one of the younger children, and as she grew. She saw her siblings leave home for school or work. She hated to say goodbye, but she knew it was only for a period of time. However most of her brothers and sisters never came back to live with their parents.
She went to the most expensive school, was taught everything she needed to know. She had a tutor, that had been a famous archaeologist. She was taught extra history, by her tutor. She was only ten when she outdid her tutor. She was amazingly with history, and she could remember any period of history, when it had started and finished, what kind of relics she could find from those periods and how much they were worth. She was even taught how to spot real items, among all of the fake things.
When Ada turned eighteen, she bought an entire block. She made her own auction house. She had already made a name for herself. Despite her young age. She loved it, working alone to begin with however soon it was too much to do alone. So she hired her best friend. Taught her up, and let her work in the action house. She let her catalogue things, and talk to potential buyers or sellers. She would travel a lot, and find rare things. She was a skilled fae-blooded, she found that any fae artefacts were dangerous to have lying pretty much anywhere.
Things had a tendency to have a rather dark history. So she made a floor deep under the block, where she made it fae proof. It meant simply no fae could enter this place. So she kept all of her secret items be left there. Not on any display, as she knew these were dangerous in the wrong hands. So she took it upon herself to free the world of them, or keep them from the world. She would hide them, and hope that when she would one day die, have an heir that would keep the things hidden from the faes.
Ada became a fate hater. Everything she saw of the fae race was destruction. So she wanted them dead, and gone from earth. She didn't fight the faes, she only took their things and hid them. She would also donate money to those who fought the faes. She would make sure that there were funds that those who could make a difference, would not be hindered by the mere lack of money. She kept her name out of the papers, and out of the groups she would donate money too. She simply stayed like a puppeteer in the background, letting others fight them more visibly.
These days, Ada is searching for fae relics, be that books or fae made items. She takes them all and stores them in her secret floor under the block and auction house. Ada stays out of troubles, and only gets in the news paper any time she advertisings of a new auction. Ada goes to pretty much any death sale, and she has been lucky. Of course luck has mostly nothing to do with it. She tries persuade almost anyone, to sell what she wants. However its a 50/50 chance of working. . Of course this does not apply faes. Only humans.
