[[folder:Adele]]

!!Adele
%% Needs a character image and some caption text
-->'''Played by''': Lauren Hammersley

Felix's biological sister, introduced in season four after he decides to find out more about his biological family. Her presence initially introduces some tension between Felix and Sarah, but they get over it.

* TheAlcoholic: Obviously.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Shows up to counsel clients drunk and gives every indication of being a hick, but she ultimately turns out to be an extremely capable attorney.
* TheBusCameBack: After leaving in season 4, Adele returns in season 5 after [[spoiler:Mrs. S. requites her into Clone Club]].
* FunctionalAddict: She pounds back alcoholic drinks like they're soda pop and even mixes them with mood stabilisers, but thus far it doesn't seem to have impaired her abilities as a lawyer much, if at all. It's PlayedWith in that showing up to court drunk has apparently gotten her license suspended in the States, though.
* GeniusDitz: Again, she is much, much more capable than she looks at first. She does seem to be a bit lacking in common sense though; she gets a bit aggressive with Helena and Felix has to get the latter to back down.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Not presently, but she offhandedly mentions that she has moonlighted as a sex worker in the past.
* InternalReveal: [[spoiler: In season 5, Siobhan lets her in on the secret and invite her into Clone Club]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Felix doesn't tell her about the clone conspiracy because it would place her at risk and because it's not purely his secret to tell. She thinks Alison, Sarah, and Helena are triplets (well, she's partially right, since [[spoiler:Sarah and Helena ''are'' twins]]).
* TheMole: Sarah initially worries that she might be a Neolution plant and might not be Felix's real biological sister. [[spoiler:It appears to have been subverted as it's revealed after a few episodes that she is definitely Felix's biological sister; furthermore, after almost a season on the show she does not appear to have any nefarious motives, and if her confusion about the clone conspiracy isn't real, then that's some [[ThePowerOfActing damn good acting]].]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Partially on Felix's advice, she decides to get out of town for awhile at the end of season four after she finds out just how ''weird'' Felix's circumstances are.
* SouthernFriedGenius: Is very, very Southern, and turns out to be quite a capable attorney, if a bit of a BunnyEarsLawyer.

* LesCollaborateurs: [[spoiler: They have defected to the Proletheans' side after "finding God". Mrs. S. quickly wises up to this.]]
