Personality:

Flirtatious | Playful | Adventurous |

You'll see Alena Harper coming a mile away. She doesn't believe in being over-looked. She's confident enough to think she's worth everyone's time and she's pretty insulted if someone doesn't recognize it. A point in her favor; she thinks almost everyone else is worth her time, too. She does her best to make friends but she runs into problems.

Simply put, Harper can be

scary

. She's certainly as playful as she looks, but everyone knows she has a temper. Harper is an open book of ever flowing opinions and observations. She's not being honest out of any moral duty, it just seems like too much work to keep all her thoughts bundled inside.

Harper is not actually short tempered, her acts of aggression are very intentionally used to try and enforce herself on a situation or person. She's not doing it because she's overcome with emotion, she makes that choice every time.

She does very few things in moderation, tending towards playful and flirtatious levity and brutal aggression doled out as she sees fit. She dives head first into every problem she faces. Hate someone? Tell them. Fight them if you gotta. Love someone? Tell them. Date them if they'll let you.

Harper tends to distrust what others tell her and she can hold grudges for ages. If she does start to trust someone she becomes extremely protective and possessive.

Bio:

Alena was born straight up royalty. Lap of luxury was all her's. Not that it lasted. Her aunt was evil, weak, and greedy and had all of Alena's family executed so that she could take the throne. She killed them one by one in front of each other because wow was she the WORST. She still remembers the terrible rasping laugh of someone who should have loved her and didn't. Harper was a super mean little kicker even then, and she struggled free and ran away. It was awful, but a good-hearted maid, June, got Harper to safety in and they went to a place where her aunt would never find her.

They set up shop in a coastal town. Working after being a spoiled palace brat is not the most fun and Harper was a temperamental child so she got sent out the house by her June a lot because even the kindest heart has a hard time dealing with Harper on a bad day. No worries though, the streets were no match for Harper. Out in the streets and full of angst and anger Harper took up brawling to spend her energy and feelings.

Perhaps to spite the memory of what she had lost Alena formed a street gang; her own little kingdom. But even super SUPER talented teen leaders fail sometimes. Especially if they are perhaps short tempered and too honest. Alena was betrayed by her second in command and her little group fell apart.

She had to teach him a lesson. She's not to be crossed. She still remembers the rhythmic thud thud thudof her crow bar hitting.

She came home to June and she put her arms around her. Her hair is stroked. It's a precious, sweet memory. They had a good time of it for the most part. Harper clung to the importance of honesty after suffering at the hands of deceit and betrayal, she found her heart void of the mercy June would have wanted.

Additional info:
> Her wings are too small to let her fly and she is SUPER upset by this fact
> Her wings are very sensitive and she'll punch you in the face if you try touching them
> If you're scared she'll hurt you, cry. Just cry, her protective instincts will kick in and confuse her
