Who is Adora?

Adora Thimblethread — character portrait

Adora is certain of her athletics and much less sure of everything else. She opens at 1,000 and her cards only climb: a secret-art-critic evening dress at 1,500, a sequinned heist, a white-and-grey stargazing dress, and two budgets of 2,000.

Her coronation dress, Crowning Glory, carries the largest budget on any card in the game: 5,000, for quality 95, elaborate 80, formal 80, yellow and white quarters, trim and lace besides.
