Alessana Krevos
Aliases:
Alice
Age:
15
Gender:
Female
Race:
Human
Appearance:
Alessana is a young girl with silky black hair down her waist, and gray blue eyes that seem to pierce through your soul, as well as pale skin that contrasts her mostly darkly-colored traits. Alice stands at a height of 5'6 centimeters and weighing 135 lbs, she is quite shorter than an average woman, and quite thin but still healthy. One of the most notable traits you could see in Alessana is the scar on her left ankle, one she got when she was only 7.
Clothes-wise, she enjoys wearing black dresses, though would constantly be seen wearing anything with a dark color. Light colors -- especially pink -- hurt her eyes. She usually wears boots with dirty white ribbons tying it up to further fit her feet. Her nails are usually painted a dirty white, as well.
Affiliation:
Olympian Chosen
Starting Personality:
Alessana is a sarcastic woman, and quite a pessimist in times where people are happy. She usually wouldn't want to be around people unless necessary, because for her people would only bring noise and noise is annoying. Alice prefers peace and quiet, and would advice you to shut up if she's concentrating or in a bad mood. Generally she is friendly, but only to the right people. It takes time to gain Alessana's trust, though, as she is not trusting to strangers that much. She is also quite the strategist and would try to think of a solution to a problem, though she rather be a follower than a leader. Also quite mischievous and could easily steal your things from behind your back.
History:
Alessana wished she lived a normal life, but unfortunately, she didn't.
She was born the only child to two farmers in a poor province; their only way of living is trying to grow crops and selling them. However, almost all their crops would never sell. Only little was earned. Because of this, her parents would start fighting with each other, screaming to each other about how poor they were.
Alessana wanted to escape. But everyday her father would always check on her, mother would visit her and threaten her if she ever did anything wrong. The young girl couldn't do anything, but one thing was for sure; she wanted to get out of this life and live another one where she will never suffer again.
When she was seven, she had planned on escaping the house. Her father had caught her though, and brought her back, and as punishment he slashed the little girl's ankle. It was painful, but Alessana thought she deserved it; running away wasn't something she was supposed to do, after all.
Then one day, when she was 9, she noticed her hands were starting to freeze. Alice didn't care about it, though, as she thought it was just the cold weather outside. It was only then that she realized that when she heard her mother and father fighting again, and even threatening their own daughter, she couldn't take it anymore. Ice came and multiplied around the house, covering it, and it spread faster, making it colder and colder as the ice spread out.
She'd gotten out of the house before her own power -- which she just realized after examining her hand -- could freeze and kill her, leaving her parents to be stuck behind on ice. The girl stared in horror as ice covered the house and their field, until it covered most of their territory.
Alessana ran.
She was never going back.
~*~
Years passed, and Alessana has lived her life in the streets, snatching food and other necessities that she had always needed. She was ten when she realized she was chosen by Demeter, but for what cause she didn't know. She figured she should thank her, then. This caused her to be devoted and obedient to Demeter for helping her escape from her parents, and for other matters.
This was also the time when she was adopted by a rich couple, who found her to be a beautiful child living off in the streets. The couple was better than anything, to be honest, treating her better than any of her parents did. She decided it was time to finally settle down, though she still wasn't used to the rich life.
Until now, she was still devoted to Demeter, and whatever the goddess would ask of her, she would follow.
Abilities & Skills:
Alessana is, like said, a strategist, and would be able to think of plans to solve a problem with enough concentration, so long as there isn't any noise. She isn't that much of a fighter, but would strike a blow if needed. Some would think she isn't strong enough to fight because of her thin stature, but boy, you are wrong. Alessana has also learned something from her time as a street child from being adopted; she could steal things from behind people's backs, sometimes without even being caught red-handed.
Combat wise:
ICE MANIPULATION - As the chosen of Demeter, she is able to manipulate ice and bend it to her free will. Sometimes the ice would freeze her hand if prolonged too much, so she tries to avoid using this ability if unless necessary.
HEALING - Alessana can heal herself and, if there is enough energy, others. Big wounds would take time and would cause her headaches later on, though.
Equipment:
Scythe - A weapon Demeter had given her after she was chosen. Rather taller than a normal crop scythe. Colored black with a sharp blade, and vines crawl around the handle. She doesn't really fight, but if she needed to she would use this scythe to defeat her enemies.
Aside from those mentioned, she also wields two pocket knives and a shoulder bag containing all the necessary things she needs for the journey.
