Adelia is of noble birth but currently serves as the academy's librarian. Her family was once a prestigious Marquis house but has now fallen significantly. Consequently, she holds an ambiguous position in noble society. Though she belongs to a titled family, she has almost no political influence. Because of this, Adelia finds life at the academy much more comfortable than the social circles of the nobility.
