Get the ad tediam mug.Adelys is the meaning of queen of all, she is the type of friend that will defend you even if your wrong but will always make sure you know your wrong and correct you. One thing to know is that she’s very hard headed and a hothead too, but on the inside she’s the type of person that thrives for love and hopes to find a person to understand her, in school she’s not popular but she also not a loner she just 𝐾𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑛
