Category: Drawing

In June, we were in a bit of a slump, as the drawings for the character sheets had just been completed! So we had to find a new drawing for this week…

Well, why not reintroduce Adelaide, aka “Adi”, one of the characters featured on the cover of third issue of our fanzine? While this character may still be a mystery to Nuibie College readers, like Basile and Magalie, she’s destined to become important as the chapters progress!

Adi is the antithesis of the cheerleader cliché! In other words, she may be a popular girl, like the cheerleader, but unlike the cheerleader, she’s deeply kind, and has absolutely no contempt for less popular girls. And the proof: her best friend, Magalie, isn’t exactly popular at school!

Magalie Kourode, sometimes nicknamed Mag, is a 12-year-old similica with a personality that’s more complex than it seems. A passionate sportswoman, she dreams of becoming a professional combat sports player when she grows up. Despite her tomboyish looks and misandrist talk, Magalie hides a romantic side that she doesn’t assume, for fear of tarnishing her tough-girl image.

Magalie is Adelaide Vilasko‘s best friend, despite their obvious differences: Adi is very feminine, while Magalie prefers a more boyish style. Their sisterly friendship is based on deep empathy and mutual support. Magalie is secretly in love with Basile Citrus, a friend who doesn’t notice her feelings, much to the amusement of Adi, who likes to tease Magalie about it. At the start of “Nuibie College”, Magalie feels hostility towards Louise Deladiva, Basile’s girlfriend, but their relationship later improves. Magalie also develops a friendship with Cassandra Kalabrio, despite some minor annoyances due to Cassandra’s great femininity.

Magalie enjoys spending time with her gang of friends, first Adelaide and Basile, then enlargized with Cassandra and Louise. She also enjoys getting into fights with the secondary school bullies, especially to protect Basile. What she hates most of all is the girls’ uniform, inherited from before the Blemalias, to the point that she asked for and obtained an exemption to wear the boys’ uniform, which suits her style better.

Adelaide Vilasko, nicknamed Adi by almost everyone except her mother, is a 13-year-old similica who always has the right word. A studious student under the watchful eye of her demanding mother, Adi is also the most popular girl in school. Very sociable, she is loved by her friends and most of the boys fall for her. She has a natural gift for leading, which makes her a much-listened-to voice, especially by her friends Magalie and Basile, a little group that later expands to include Louise and Cassandra!

Despite her young age, Adi shows a maturity and conscience due to her demanding upbringing, notably in rejecting the Blemalia ideology that currently dominates Sartovia. Passionate about life experiences, Adi loves trying new things and is fascinated by rural life, despite being a pure city girl.

However, her life is not a smooth one. Her mother, Adele Vilasko, who runs the family business, wants Adi to take over from her and follow a set path that includes prestigious studies, marriage and children to ensure the continuity of the Vilasko dynasty and company. Adi, on the other hand, dreams of exploring the unknown rather than settling for a predetermined future, while she doesn’t even want to hear about marriage! Despite these differences, Adelaide shares an unparalleled complicity with her mother, at times having an almost sisterly relationship, as this complicity breaks down the generational divide between the two similicas.
