Prince Devin is usually left out among the Ashe family.Adrienne is based largely off of and named after Jeremy Whitley's own sister-in-law, Adrienne. Consequently, Adrienne is seen as a bit of an oddball in the family. While her sisters have spent much of their lives competing to be the prettiest or the most regal, all Adrienne has ever wanted is to have her own adventures.

She absolutely refuses to accept her duties and expectations as a princess. She loves eating steak and is better at swordsmanship than her twin brother.

Princess Adrienne Ashe is tomboyish, sarcastic, direct, smart, courageous and outspoken.

Instead of waiting for a prince to rescue her, Adrienne escapes from her tower with the aid of her guardian dragon, trades her dress and crown for armor and sword and sets out to rescue her six sisters from their own prisons. On her 16th birthday she is tricked into imprisonment in a tower, as is the expected fate of any princess in the land.
