Get the Adelais mug.Adeline's are usually a little crazy, and they aren't afraid to show it. If they are an Aries, beware - Aries Adelines tend to be hard on people they don't like, but close to friends and (sometimes) family. Betrayal is not usually in Adeline's nature, but if the relationship is toxic, they will drop you like a hot potato. Watch out for angry Adelines.
Person 1: "Have you seen Adeline lately?"
Person 2: "No, they're mad at me, I'm staying away from her for now..."

Get the Adeline mug.Adeleigh has two personalities. She is one of the toughest girls you’ll meet and has the worst mouth. But once you get to know her, she is super sweet and caring. She loves her family even though it can be crazy sometimes. She is also gorgeous even though her insecurities get in the way. She will cheer you up whenever you’re down. All the boys want her.
