Adele von Ascham

, formerly known as Kurihara Misato prior to being reincarnated and later known as Mile while working as a Hunter, is the main protagonist of the Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! series written by FUNA.

Background
Kurihara Misato was an eighteen-year-old genius. Being at the top of her class, she had no friends and absorbed herself in otaku culture and studying. While walking home from her high school graduation, she saw a little girl fall off her bicycle and into the path of a truck. Unable to control her body, Misato leapt into the street and in exchange for saving the little girl's life, her life was taken by the truck.

As thanks for saving the girl who would lead the human race into other star systems. A god-like creature offered to reincarnated her into a less intelligent world with her memory intact. But Misato had one request, "Please, make my abilities average!” Then, she was reincarnated as Adele von Ascham, a definitely average girl. Except average was not interpreted as average for people.

Personality
Adele is able to comprehend everything that isn't common sense, however, everything that is common sense, she is bad at. She likes otaku culture and enjoys referencing anime/manga and making figures of her hunter team. Pauline remarks her figures are excellent in quality. Adele also likes animal-eared girls and will make many attempts to get close to them. She is typically happy-go-lucky and carefree but will become very serious when her friends are in danger.

Adele being something of an anthro-lover was a well known fact amongst the Crimson Vow. They had heard from her, again and again, just how terribly splendid beast-eared girls were.

Appearance
Adele has long silver hair with a red with black stripes ribbon tied around her head, long mauve-colored hair, and teal colored eyes. She typically dresses in a light black colored dress over a white skirt, with a pink cravat, knee-high socks, and shoes. Overall, she looks like a cute, rather clueless-looking young girl.

Quotes

 * “It’s an old family secret!”
 * “No. Compared to Pauline’s blackhearte—ahem, resourcefulness—I am but an infant. I am a swordswoman-slash-mage.”
 * “Cats are so adorable.”
 * “Don’t lump my appreciation for beast-eared girls in with those cretins!”
 * “Everyone! Please stop fighting over me!!!” (Mile to the rest of the Crimson Vow and the Wonder Trio)

Trivia

 * The Crimson Vow noted that there were various levels to Mile's anger:
 * Level-1 - There was pouting and sulking. This meant that she was just in a bit of a bad mood, and though she might grouse and be cross for a little while, it was nothing much to worry about.
 * Level-2 - There were the times she showed no expression at all. This meant that she was quite angry. In these instances, she was cool, composed, and relentless in dealing with her enemies.
 * Level-3 - There were the times when she truly showed her anger. This was the case when someone harmed her allies or someone else important to her. It is where Mile showed a smile that did not reach her eyes.
 * She has no qualms about flexing all of her "average" abilities in the third state.
 * Level-4 - It is when that smile faded, and her faced morphed into a deep, primal displeasure. When things reached this level, there was one thing that could be assumed: if she looked at you like that, you’d better abandon all hope.


 * Most of the Crimson Vow's members and people often think of Adele as someone who were into young girls, while this is true, she is more of a Brocon than a Siscon or Lolicon. This is mainly because she wishes that she could have a little brother, and an older brother, even though that was impossible.


 * Adele's family background story in the new world share some distinctive similarities with the beloved fairy tale Cinderella.
