How this character reads at season scale
Adelaide is a survivor aboard the wrecked yacht who navigates the lighthouse’s confined spaces with quiet poise amid escalating tensions. Initially assisted by Vince, she responds with reserved gratitude rather than entitlement, politely declining amenities. She pragmatically aligns with Palmerdale’s accusations against the lighthouse service despite her discomfort, revealing a survivor’s willingness to compromise for comfort and control. Adelaide’s interactions with Leela and the Doctor expose class-conscious disdain, particularly toward perceived social inferiors, though her demands for privacy suggest an underlying fragility beneath her composed exterior.
