Adarna actually does have a Japanese birth name. She just prefers her English name, which she often writes in romaji except when required to write veritcally. That is the only time she bothers to bust out her Japanese name, Ibara Nijitori (イバラ 虹鳥).
Adarna speaks a mix of Kamigata dialect and Standard Japanese (like, in on sentence, but more of the latter). She doesn't know if it goes unnoticed, nor does she care.

Kind, Passionate/Dedicated, Diligent, Supportive
Creative, Punctual, Organized, Patient, Professional
Critical, Hedonistic, Meddlesome, Picky
Adarna knows what it's like to be looked down upon, so she makes sure that others don't suffer as much as she did whenever she can. When she does so (or anything, really), she makes sure to give it her all because of the fear of discoruaging her comrades through her failures. She encourages others to do what they want, and does her best to be there when they fall so that she can help them up. Adarna isn't known for slacking, and assures that her comrades (and brother) always finish their work before anything else.
That said, Adarna does slack off from time to time. When she sees something she likes while working on something, she tends to drop it all to observe her interests. She usually gets over her likes by the time somebody notices, though. The only two people who often see her indulgent side are her brother and the idol she's in charge of because she tends to stop the car out of nowhere at the sight of a sale. Fortunately, she's a picky bean, so she often brushes off most impulses if they don'tfit her standards. Adarna doesn't overlook her own flaws, but doesn't try too hard in correcting it, though other people aren't so lucky. She is very much aware of the fact that she could shoot down anyone for a single imperfection with words. Luckily, she softens the blow with the good things of the critisized item. That doesn't stop her from staring down the subject at hand and then try to fix it in any way she can.
Adarna loves originality, and though she can't think of ways to make new things, she can twist things and ways to make an old thing look new and attractive. Old things are as pretty as new ones in her eyes, their beauty just need to be shown to other people. Adarna had perfect punctuality hammered into her from her school years. She sees to reason to drop it, even years after she had left her old school. Her old school had also taught her to be patient with other people as well as any situation because she belives that most times, people can't control the majority of their personalities since they had been a result of experiences while situations cannot be controlled by anyone altogether. Losing her cool with people and situations would end catastrophically, risking others' safety and future, so she tries to keep a level head or a straight face at the very least.
Biography:
Adarna was a result of an unplannned pregnancy between her two parents. Unfortunately, not only had they had to worry over one child, they had to worry about twins. Simoun and Adarana were born ten minutes within each other, with Adarna being the older. Adarna was told that she was the fussy one between the two, often crying for one thing or another. They had often been described as Yin and Yang as children as all of their traits, however little, contradicted each other.
During her primary school years, Adarna became a major victime for bullying. She was threatened to do other people's homework and she was constantly teased for her looks, which stuck out from her classmates. After it was resolved (almost two years later), she was already in middle school. There, she had gained a number of admirers for her the same reasons why she was thought lower of in her primary school. Her junior high years weren't as peaceful, as a number of the admirers she rejected in middle school started coming to her in high school. Some, she became friends with, others were either content with not knowning her personally or were just in the same school by coincidence, but there were those who weren't the best of sports. She was harassed if not stalked. When her parents realized that they couldn't do anything about them, the Ibarra family moved to Tokyo, where Adarna's father got a new job while her mother opened a flower shop. The rest of her highschool years were quiet and peaceful.
Adarna attended university and got a degree in business and managment. She got a job soon after she graduated, and moved out to live closer to her office a while later. While working as a secretary, she got into a relationship with a co-worker, and they were soon engaged. Unfortunately, he died before they can slice the cake due to a heat stroke. Since then, Adarna has never been seen on dates or with anyone who was even remotely like her late husband for long periods of time. She worked on to distract herself, finding solace in things such as soap operas and music in the process, but lost control over her health and time. Her physical appearance cahnged every day until her 25th birthday. Her brother had had enough of his older sister teetering between autopilot and poor manual management, so he made sure that on the that day, her sister knew what it meant to move on. The day ended with a set of purple glass jewelry, and ever since then, Adarna had never looked more alive. She could confirm with you that she was still dead inside, but at least she looked okay.
Little after, she was promoted from secretary to manager. She happily took up the position and treated her subrodinates well. Using the money left behind by the former manager (who had retired), she and her colleagues upgraded their facilities and improved their work quality. The office grew and became known before falling again when one of the employees got too greedy and tripped. This caused several people to leave to office, but a few, including Adarna remained. With nothing much to work off of, most of the employees began taking on double jobs-- either to help sustain themselves and their families or to help the office. For a while, Adarna didn't much except for promoting her office, so she decided to take on a side job as well. By then, she had had her eyes on budding idols. She watched them grow and adored how some of them pushed on with showbiz and reached heights some never dreamed of even looking at. She deiceded to work with that. Unfortunately, it wasn't as organized as she thought. Most grown idols have a team they were already comfortable with, which was okay with Adarna, but the minor-aged idols were not so organized. Most of them handled their own idol work, if not their family members, family friends, or teachers. When she confronted her brother about this, boy was he in for it.
Apparently, SImoun Ibarra had been managing an idol as a tribute to his sister. He wasn't doing a good job at it. His quality of work, or lack thereof, had a fifteen year old student running around and doing work she didn't know how to manage. Simoun got a good nick in the head and a lecture to last a lifetime before Adarna took his job as an idol manager (which he happily gave up), and assured the growth of the idol he was managing.
