Skills:
Politics and Education:
Adelaide is a skilled speaker and politician, most of her youth was seen watching Cersei Lannister, as well as other women of the court in their political dealings so one could say she'd learned from the best.
As well Adelaide learned from some of the best Maesters and Septa's money could buy her skills in reading and speaking were honed like a perfectly forged blade.
Sewing:
While it is true that Adelaide is the Lady of Storms End she by her own choice is an excellent seamstress. She sews most every evening before bed, adding lovely embroidery to her own clothing as well as her husband's.
Music:
Adelaide has a lovely singing voice and is very skilled with the mandolin and lute. She can often be heard singing and playing songs when she and Duncan are alone often times to sooth him after a long stressful day.
Weaknesses:
Small Frame and bodily weakness:
Adelaide is a thin and frail woman who wouldn't survive long on the battle field.
It was often wondered if she would ever be able to successfully be able to carry a child to full term and it is still feared that she would be susceptible to a plague if it were to ever spread.
Station:
While Adelaide does not see her self as weak because of her gender her gender does in fact make her weak in the eyes of others.
Adelaide must often times reign in her words, wills and and actions to fit her station as both a high born nobel and as a woman.
While she does not go about bucking the authority of men she does some times get frustrated when she can not speak her mind.
History:
Adelaide was born in 273AL the youngest child and only daughter of Seffon and Cassana Baratheon, she was spoiled by her father and mother but this was short lived.
When Adelaide was five her parents died in a ship wreck within sight of their castle.
One of few survivors was a half wit named Patchface who would later befriend Adelaide's niece Shireen.
As for her brothers Robert aged fifteen was sent to the Vale to be fostered under Jon Arryn and Stannis, aged thirteen, became the acting protector of Storms End.
Due to their positions Adelaide and Stannis were always a close knit pair. The two played together, swam together and fished together always accompanied by Septas and the Half whit Patchface of whom Adelaide was frightened of.
When Adelaide was nine her brother Robert rode out in Rebellion against the king Rhaegar Targaryian. Stannis rode out beside his brother leaving Adelaide cloistered at Stroms End.
For two years Maesters and Septa's feared for the life of their Lady and Lords and did little to relay information to Adelaide concerning her bothers for fear it would all be bad news.
In the second year of the Rebellion Stannis returned to Storms End bringing the war with him. For some time the hold stood fast while Mace Tyrell's armies laid siege it wasn't until Kings Landing fell that safety came to Storms End again in the form of Edard Stark friend of Robert and savior of his family.
Adelaide only caught glimpses of Edard while he was in Storms End but developed a girlish crush on him that would continue on until her adolescence.
After Robert's rebellion Staniss awarded his brother Dragonstone which Staniss had taken during battle. This was always a sore spot between the two brothers as Dragonstone was a smaller hall and hold and did little to praise Stannis efforts in the rebellion.
Adelaide was then left to tend Storm's End.
As the Lady of Storm's End Adelaide was looked after by the Maester's who taught her how to run her lands and by the council who did most of the real work in her name.
When Adelaide was thirteen she traveled to Kingslanding to celebrate her nephew Joffrey's first name day and to watch the tournament which was the main event.
At this time Adelaide was growing into a fine young woman, but felt overshadowed by the beauty and intellect that was her sister in law Cersei Lannister.
It was reported several times Cersei often insulted the shy Adelaide and that other women of the other women of the court followed suit.
Hating the idea of coming to kings landing Adelaide was about to leave early when she met a young Knight who was participating int he tourney.
Duncan Talvace was a tall lean young man who had the same air about him as the idolized Edard Stark.
When Duncan awarded Adelaide the title of 'Queen of Love and Beauty' the girl fell in love with the knight in shining armor.
The two courted for a two years and upon the Adelaide's fifteenth year she married Duncan who became the Lord Protectorate of Storm End.
The two lived happily under the banner of Kings Peace and enjoyed the long summer of their youth. But not always was as serene beneath the surface as it seemed.
Adelaide was prone to having miscarriages that worried all those around her that she might not make it to see twenty.
Despite the Maester's pleas for her to stop trying to conceive Adelade desperately wanted a child and never told Duncan of the threat to her health the difficulty of pregnancy was.
Some time into her nineteenth name day Adelaide finally was able to carry a child to a safe term and gave birth to a premature daughter Aislynn.
Bed ridden and sickly both mother and child struggled to pull through the year.
Less than a year after her birth Aislynn perished of a fever, leaving her mother broken hearted and giving up on life.
Adelaide for years was a shell of her former self, she had given up on giving Duncan a child and refused to leave Storms End.
It wasn't until the death of the hand of the king Jon Arryn that she began to perk up at all.
Upon leaving Kings Landing Adelaide's beloved brother Stannis visited Storms End with disturbing news of Robert's so called children.
Learning that Robert had been tricked by Cersei Adelaide began to pull her self together knowing that the Lannisters were making a play for the throne. She knew a unified Baratheon was needed for Stannis to take his rightful place as the king, but she also knew a unified Baratheon would keep all knowledge from Kings Landing out of the reach of the Storm Lands.
Adelaide has decided not to make her support for her brother's claim to the throne known and instead makes a false pledge to uphold Joffrey as the king of Westeros.
As the ears of Stannis in the court of King Joffrey Adelaide waits for the day when the Baratheon can take their rightful place on the throne once more.
