Ada is a young mathematician. She never knew her father but her mother always had a lot of wealth at hand and she assumed she was the illegitimate child of some wealthy aristocrat. Despite her lack of title and man in the household, she and her mother were fixtures of high society. Despite this, Ada befriended a pair of middle-class boys and the three were as thick as thieves throughout their childhood, leading to tittering rumours and among those she and her mother usually socialised with. Her mother encouraged her study of mathematics and numbers and she was one of the first women to attend the university. During the war, she worked with Alan Turing to help decrypt Prussian messages and built a computer to calculate the decryption key needed. The duo is currently working with Charles Babbage on his analytical machine. She and Alan often question the idea of consciousness and intelligence in terms of their machine and what it could evolve to do in the future.
Ada is a confident and adventurous young woman who is never afraid to take risks. She has a highly analytical mind and has been called the "Enchantress of Numbers" by her coworkers. Since the war is over and funding is waning, she requested a leave of absence from her work in order to search for her sweetheart, one of the boys she befriended when she was young, who she hears is working for the King under duress.
