Adelaide Victoria Kane (born 9 August 1990 in Perth, Australia) is an actress from Western Australia. She is best known for her roles as Tenaya 7 in Power Rangers RPM, Cora Hale in Teen Wolf, and Mary Stuart in Reign.
Adelaide first appeared on the Australian soap Neighbours as Lolly Allen, appearing for only three months before her time on the show ended. Some time later, she landed the role of Half-Human Hybrid Tenaya 7 on the children's show Power Rangers RPM (2009), which was filmed in Auckland, New Zealand. After wrapping up on the show, she then moved to Los Angeles and landed a few roles in independent films and web series, even appearing as a supporting character in The Purge (2013). Her big break would not come until she landed the role of Cora Hale on MTV's Teen Wolf, appearing in the show's third season in 2013. However, her stay on that show was cut short when it was announced that she would star as Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in the CW period drama Reign.
She came out as bisexual in 2021 via TikTok for Valentine's Day. Previously, she dated Sean Teale, her co-star on Reign for two years. Then she had briefly dated Jacques Colimon (they co-starred on Into the Dark episode "Uncanny Annie"). She dated Marthe Woertman, a model from the Netherlands, from 2021 to 2022. Kane brought another girlfriend to the 2023 95th Academy Awards after party.
She has generalised anxiety disorder, having by now spoken up multiple times about it to help destigmatize people with mental illnesses like her.

This actress provides examples of:
- Action Girl: She does a lot of her own stunts, with Power Rangers RPM and Teen Wolf especially showing it off.
- The Cast Showoff: She has a beautiful singing voice and gets to show it off a little in Secrets of the Mountain.
- Contralto of Strength: Her voice is on the low and husky side, which doesn't hurt when playing an Action Girl or a villain.
- Deadpan Snarker: It's rather common for her characters to toss off sarcastic quips, and she's no slouch in real life, frequently indulging in it during her social media videos.
- Fake Nationality: She's able to do several accents, most notably American and English; she claims she can do a Russian accent with some practice.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her skintight outfit as Tenaya is the prime example, but she's been quite a tease in several of her other roles and on her Instagram page, to say nothing of posing naked for Women's Health in 2023.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has dark brown, sometimes black hair and creamy white skin. This is especially noticeable in her role as Mary Stuart in Reign.
