Ada Avarra
While Ada isn’t her real name, it is her cosplaying and modelling name. She keeps that part of herself well hidden, as no one knows what that is, outside of those in binding contracts with her. She does love her stage name, so it’s not an issue.
Physical Description
Taller than a normal elf, mostly due to her extra long legs, she stands above even most people she runs across. She also has an absolutely perfect figure and keeps in shape constantly to ensure it stays that way. She doesn’t have the hyper thin look many models do, and she encourages healthy eating, and not starvation diets. She has the typical long high elven ears, but they point outwards more than most.
Her hair is long and straight and while she often colours it or uses wigs for her shoots or cosplay, her natural colour is almost a golden red. She loves her make-up, and when not in costume usually goes with red lips and nails, and a blue eye shadow. She also likes to accentuate her eyebrows and paint them to seem fuller and darker.
Physical Quirks
As someone who grew up in the cosplay community, she is used to having people ask to take a picture with her, so she is almost always in some kind of a pose when she’s standing still. She also loves to photobomb people, so there are numerous examples of her in the background of someone else’s photo, doing something fun.
Clothing Style
There are no limits to what she loves to cosplay, and she has even participated in cross-play, making female versions of popular characters. She does tend to put a sexy spin on all her cosplays, but doesn’t make it openly lewd, just very suggestive. When she’s at formal events, she prefers simple dresses with lots showing and mini length hemlines and lots of pearls. When going casual, she’s usually just in one of her video game t-shirts and sweat pants, going VERY casual. She does still love to wear high heels, no matter what, just to add to her already imposing height.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Growing up in Russia, she never had much hope to be able to do much with her life, full expecting to end up as a housewife to some worker. When in high school, or their equivalent to it, she began dating a guy who introduced her to nerd culture, gaming and conventions. She was immediately hooked and began to hit every convention she could, dressing up at every opportunity. As conventions became larger, more people began to notice her, and she gained a lot more popularity.
She began college soon after this, and while she did continue conventions, it took a back seat to her studies in fashion design. She uses this knowledge and her passion for making costumes, to ramp up her cosplaying after she graduated. After a few years being well known in the Russian convention circuit, other conventions around the world began to take notice, and she was flown out to them, working all over the world. After about 5 years doing this, she moved out of Russia for good, and started with modelling professionally.
Education
Taking a fashion design class in a local college in Moscow was just a way for her to learn some of the tricks and tips to allow her to make even better cosplay. While she knows she can always fall back on this, it was just a way to help her make her costumes even better.
Employment
While she does work with an agent, she is still a freelancer, choosing her jobs based on what she loves and what she feels passionate about. She knows that she will always have people willing to support her in the cosplay community, so modelling is just a way for her to make some extra money. She has a plan for the future to start her own cosplay themed line of clothing in the future, and this is just one step.
Morality & Philosophy
As friendly and as playful as they come, she has fully embraced nerd culture as much as they’ve embraced her. She saw how badly nerds and geeks were treated when she started out in the community, compared to how welcoming and open they were to her, and has always felt that they were the best people, so will defend them very vocally.
Personality
Motivation
She wants to help bring the fun and acceptance of nerd culture out for all to see. However, now that it’s popular, she’s begun to see how some people who used to bully them are trying to take it over. To that end, she is strongly motivated to make sure that any nerd endeavour she is involved in, is run by those who were always part of the community. She knows that for some, this is just a passing fad, and as soon as they are bored, they will move on, so she looks for those with the same passion that attracted her to the community in the first place.
Likes & Dislikes
She likes to dress up, and while it is her job, she can’t help but do it even when she’s not getting paid for it. She will even get dressed up for the release of her favourite games or movies. She likes all aspects of the communities she is a part of, especially how welcoming they are. She doesn’t like those who have taken advantage of that openness, and are trying to take over the communities to push those who started them out. She will always stand up for the long time nerds over someone who just started liking nerd things. She absolutely despises the show Big Bang Theory, and will avoid anywhere it is playing.
Virtues
A loyal and supportive person, she will always have her friends back, and will always help those who honestly want to learn. She also loves to inspire little kids to get into cosplay and nerd culture, and if she sees a young child in cosplay, will ask to take a picture with them and give them advice and compliment them on their costumes to encourage them.
Vices
Having been in the gaming and nerd culture for a while, she does have a taste for their snacks. Pizza, soda, and Doritos are some of her biggest weaknesses. She does try and avoid them whenever possible, but she knows that she can never avoid their call forever, so works off the calories as soon as she can.
Quirks
Mostly seen with a smile, unless she’s posing in character, she exudes a happy and positive energy. She generally is just happy and fun when people run into her, if not a little goofy at times. But she does have a temper that shows up when people go after “her people” in her favourite communities.
Values
She puts a lot of value in those who put effort and passion into what they love. That’s what attracted her to the community to begin with. Being able to put your passion into what you do is something she will always respect, and is something that endears her to people.
Sexual Style
No one has really heard much about this on her. She may play a part which is flirty at times, but it is obviously just a part. No one has ever even seen her going on dates. At least that’s what they think. She actually does date, but it’s usually within the community, and she usually doesn’t dress up, preferring to make it look like friends just hanging out, or that she’s getting some help with a cosplay. She keeps this part of her life very secret, and those she sees keep it that way out of respect for her. She does have a moderately high sex drive, and while she is open to new things, tends to stick with just vanilla. Her love of cosplay even makes it here, and she adores sexual role-play, which works out well, since most of her partners are attracted to at least one of her cosplays. She does tends to take partners with low self esteem, and then helps them build that, helps them find someone that can give them more attention than she can, and then she moves on to someone else.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She still keeps in contact with her brothers and sisters in Russia, as her parents have both passed on, but she never really saw eye to eye with them, so it’s mostly just cordial. Her real family is the community, and she is very active on message boards, and social media groups. She also will occasionally run “Cosplay Workshop” live streams where she gives advice and hints on improving your costume.
Social Aptitude
An absolute social chameleon, she is able to blend into any conversation, any situation and any age group. She is not too talkative, listens to folks just enough to get what they are saying, and then brings in her point of view with reasoning. She is extremely charming and friendly, so no one ever seems to have any problem with her. The only people she has issues with are those who are jealous of her for her looks, as there is nothing she can say or do to them to make them any less angry.
Religious Views
She was raised as Russian Orthodox, but over time that has become less a part of her life, and she may as well be considered agnostic at this point. She understands the traditions are important, but feels that the message has gotten lost over the years.
Mannerisms
Always friendly and cheerful, she is almost always smiling. She loves to be in front of the camera and the one people are looking at, but doesn’t take it to the point of narcissism or being self absorbed. To her, it’s not her that people are looking at, but the culture she is representing. As such, she tries her best to make it a good impression. She does have a fondness for silly pranks, which is why she tends to photobomb anyone with a camera taking a picture.
Hobbies & Pets
While her life is very busy, she does make sure to keep some time to be able to play video games, which is her big passion. She will often dress up in partial costume and start live streaming, chatting and interacting with her fans as she play whatever games she is doing. With her schedule, she doesn’t have enough time to have a pet, but when things calm down, she wants a dog of some kind.
Speech Style
While her Russian accent is still able to be heard, she is able to mimic other accents and will do so for her cosplays. She is starting to pick up some British slang, and has let a little of the accent slip in too, but it’s only noticeable to other Russians. She sounds a lot like the actress Irina Shayk, but with a higher pitch voice, but the same accent.
Political Affiliation & Activism
She doesn’t have time to keep up with politics, and even less time to keep up with any kind of activism except for one thing. Every year, she does a charity stream for the local children’s hospital, and goes to present the money to them in full costume, usually of a popular superhero or video game character, then goes around and plays with the kids.
