Style changes

Adora woke up feeling funny. Not necessarily off, just different. She got up like normal and showered and decided she was sick of her dingy red jacket, so she grabbed a nice blue short sleeved top she had received from a grateful co-worker. She had a nice pair of black pants to go with it. she decided to leave her hair down today but she pulled the top half into a small up do for a half up half down look. she rather liked her look. she grabbed a dark gray shawl from her closet to go on top on her outfit and slipped unnoticed out of the castle.

She stretched as she walked her normal running route she used for her morning jogs and was excited to see the closest village come into view. She's been wanting to check out the shopping centers in it but was always sent on missions so she chose to keep fit instead. Now she was happy to ignore training and try something new. She shopped around for a bit and got some nice new clothes with a range of colors in blues and purples and even some dark greens.

She had got to talking to a saytar for a good while, who then helped her pick some new pants and then shoved them into her own purse so Adora could pay for mostly everything and then gave them back to her once they were a block away from the shop. She reminded her of Catra, so she smiled and they kept shopping together. Soon enough it had been an hour and they needed to move on before they would get caught. Her new friend "Abraisa" Guided her to the next village over and they ate at a nice place. They chatted about stuff like people they grew up with and schools. They eventually got to the topic of current jobs and she said she was just a rebellion solider.

Abraisa worked at the pawn shop a couple towns over. She managed the inventory and closed when she needed to. When she asked Adora about her hobbies outside of work Adora froze up. She shyly said training for the war. Abraisa laughed and said she needed better hobbies. Adora agreed and said she wanted to take a brake from the front-lines anyways, hence why she was out alone today.

"I just feel like I've been messing everything up lately. My old best friend has made it clear she wants me to hate her and I am the reason my new best friend just recently lost her mom. I feel like everyone is looking to me to fix things and I just don't want the responsibility anymore." She let a tear drop. She needed today, she really did. Abraisa gave her a half hug around the arms.

"It sounds to me like you could use a lifestyle change." She said as she grabbed her arm and led her away from the dinner, while leaving money for a tip.

Abraisa took her to her own hangout at the local activity center. Adora thought they were gonna play with the kids but she guided her to the other side where the adults were relaxing by the river. She grabbed a towel by for both of them and went to the second person down the stream.

"Hello Revera, can we assist you with cleansing today?" Abraisa asked her. The woman looked at them both and scooted aside for them. She handed them both some leafy green stuff and Abraisa showed Adora how to separate it. Once she got the hang of it Adora found it rather relaxing. She had done 4 stacks of sorted plants from the river before Abraisa showed her how to weave a basket out of sticks to carry what they sorted back to town and sell it to the merchants.

Abraisa later invited her to cone home with her for the night, but Adora had to pass it up. She promised Bow that she would help him with his new arrows tonight. Abraisa told Adora if she ever wants a normal job she could get her one and they laughed before promising to do this again in two days. Adora promised to meet her at the shop they had met at.

Adora snuck back into the castle only to have Shadow weaver stop her in her tracks.

"And where have you been all day?" Her mother asked her. However before Adora could answer Shadow Weaver answered for her. "I'll tell you were you haven't been. You haven't been with your best friends and Castaspella picking flowers for Angelas funeral. So were have you been?" Adora didn't feel like dealing with the woman trying to manipulate her feelings today.

"Where I have been is none of your business." Adora said as she continued to walk pass her old mentor. She was then grabbed by a black hand. While Shadow Weaver had mentally noted the new bag filled with clothes at Adora's left hip and the basket she carried in her hand on her right hip, she wasn't going to let her ignore her. It wasn't like her to disappear like this.

"It is my business when I have to cover for you while you're out stealing with your new friend." Shadow Weaver stated. Adora simply stared at her in surprise.

"I was curious about where you were as well so I tracked you while the others were busy with rose bushes. I must say I am quite surprised in your new choice in 'interest'. I figured you would be more into the muscular type." She hmmed to herself.

"So if you were already spying on me then why ask the stupid question?" Adora retored while rolling her eyes at the muscle comment. Shadow Weaver was surprised again at how much she was acting disrespectful like Catra always did. She didn't seem herself today.

"I'm asking because you seem to be behaving out of character today and I wish to know why the sudden change in personality. If you do not give me a good reason then I might have to report this to-"

"To who?" Adora harshly laughed. "Angela? Castaspella? Glimmer?" She barked out the names with sarcasm. Then she narrowed her eyes on her old mentor. "You have no power here, and especially none over me. So save your empty threats for someone who is actually cares." She stated as she turned to officially walk away. She threw back one last comment before she was completely gone. "If you can actually find anyone who cares about what you have to say here, go ahead and tell them whatever you want." Shadow Weaver was left speechless. She knew Adora beard a lot of distrust and anger towards her; To directly act like she didn't care about her at all was not in character for her. But she was unfortunately right, who would listen to her if she told them?

When she got back in her room she set her bag of clothes down by her closet and went to the vanity to let her hair down and brush it out. She couldn't find said brush so she just transformed her sword into one. While she brushed her hair in front of her mirror she thought about her conversation with Shadow Weaver. It had felt so good to tell her off shove her to the side but something about it all seemed wrong. She didn't want to listen to her words but there was some truth to them.

She didn't just disappear without telling anyone or change her plans suddenly. She didn't condone stealing either. What was up with her? Why did today feel so good? As she stopped the brush halfway down her hair she stared at herself. It was all different. Her attitude down to her look. She knew the others were going to be flower picking today for the funeral, why did she just bail on it? The funeral... She felt a sudden jolt come from her hand and she dropped the brush it had come from.

She gasped as she felt the surge of strange energy cascade through her. She groaned and took a deep breath and settled herself down. When she looked back at herself in the mirror again she noticed some black mist pass through her eyes for a second before it was gone. She smiled. She knew whatever that was was good. She felt much better now. She didn't need to care about what the old woman thought or her tired old tricks. When her friends ask her about her whereabouts she will just tell them she went out for some fresh air. Everything was going to be fine.

She heard a knock on her door and knew it was bow here for his arrow testing practice with Adora. This would be fun.

Will anyone else notice Adora's new personality or will it only be Shadow Weaver? How much deeper into this will she get before someone finally does something about it?
