Basic Character Info
Character's LJ Username:
itsnotveryfair Name: Alessandra della Valle
Age: 10
Gender: Female
Nationality: Italian
Mafia Family: Vongola
Main Flame Attribute: Mist
Secondary Flame Attribute/s:
Weapon of Choice: Her own illusions-however, they are very “faulty” and wind up attacking her instead, therefore making her an useless contribution and someone you shouldn’t really count on to save you-you have to be the one to save her.
Secondary Weapon:
Special Abilities: She can’t use it. Not one bit. There’s a problem here, because she can’t use it at all for anything offensive. For defensive, as long as it’s not an object or being and merely an illusion like a small box that looks like the background to shield what should not be see, it works. But it’s a small box, that’ll only be able to fit her inside, and it can only hide anyone of her size. But only one.
Appearance: A small girl with a small stature. Hair is black, cut with straight bangs on the forehead and other things. She resembles Uni with her hairstyle, but lacks the hat.
Clothing: She wears a black zip-up shirt and green shorts, and a long white jacket. On her feet are black boots with long laces that she can’t tie on her own without it looking sloppy.

In-Depth Character Info
Personality: Alessandra is a crybaby. There’s no going by it. She really wants to help out, but she can’t go any further than anything familiar. Anything new or anything she doesn’t like makes her burst to tears, and she’s a little selfish when it comes to her family. She hates change. She doesn’t want anyone to change, and she wants things to stay as they are. She likes Secondo, respects him, and even harbors a little bit of a crush for him, but she almost always ends up crying, sniffling, having to be told firmly and scolded.
Alessandra is a very dependent type of person who needs continuous support. Lucian is the one that give sit to her most of the time, with a hug and kind words. She’s scared of a lot of things and she doesn’t like that, but there's no way she can change, but she tries her best to try to please everyone. She takes everyone’s word for everything, so there’s not a doubt that whatever anyone says affects her a lot. She can’t even sleep alone and almost always runs crying to Lucian’s room. She’d ask Secondo, but Secondo got angry the last time, and Alessandra doesn’t like it when people get mad at her and she doesn’t like it when people yell-but Secondo’s Secondo, and even scary, she doesn’t want him to get mad at her.
History: Alessandra was born somewhere in Italy where the mining industry was still new. Push comes to shove, her father--who spoiled her to no end and her two surrogate grandparents--Nonna and Nonno, kicked the bucket through a mining accident (leading to fear of the dark, closed spaces, spaces that never end, new places, dried blood) and natural causes (leading to fear of disappearing and turning to dust and death) respectively. So of course her impatient, tough and independent mother dragged a quivering and still in shock Alessandra from her bed and to the more urban parts of Italy to whip her daughter into shape and maybe get Alessandra a spine in the process. Unfortunately, having never been schooled, Alessandra suffered a lot.
It was worse than badly timed. Alessandra's own abilities as an illusionist had contributed greatly to the fact that each night, things she saw in reality became twisted and unreal in dreams--and she would remember them when she saw them again. People became corpses in a butcher's shop, hanging by the threads of their necks and among other things--through this, Alessandra snapped her mother's neck with the haunted illusion of a headless schoolteacher while she was thrashing in her bed and crying.
She more than freaked when finally the nightmare ended was awake enough to realize what exactly had happened--three weeks after her dead mother rotted on the ground. Alessandra screamed, she ran petrified, panicking, scrambling at the doors and outside--she ran into Secondo then. And when he displayed at least a tolerance for her, Alessandra held ONTO that small bit of kindness. She wouldn't let him go, she wouldn't let him leave her, she followed him, wouldn't stop crying, wouldn't stop about what she'd done and she didn't want him to go because she was scared, she didn't want to be left alone.
Apparently from Secondo's side of it, she wouldn't stop bugging him or harassing him, so he just went and made her his Mist so that his other guardians would have to deal with it, but Alessandra didn't care. As it came to be anyway, Lucian did the best and Secondo was Secondo, and she'd always call Secondo's name first because he was there first. If it was a choice between Lucian and Secondo, she’d make sure Lucian didn’t go by holding tightly onto his hand, and she’d grab Secondo’s hand too.
Canon Point:People who aren’t Family are in the manor, and she’s hiding, frightened.

Samples
First Person Sample: It’s cold. It’s dark. It’s small and--they’re talking…so loud, they’re…y-yelling… W-why are they here?
I……I don’t like it.
…I don’t want to s-stay here...
I-I want S-Secondo…
Third Person Sample: [It was cold and wet and dark and Alessandra didn’t like it one bit. Muffled sobs escaped from her in the fetal position, her face pressed to the tops of her knees and whole body shaking. She didn’t like how these people came inside-she didn’t know them, and they didn’t sound nice at all. They were loud, they broke the vases that Secondo made Lucian move out of his room and somewhere else-they used sharp words and one of them - one of the-
She didn’t want to look up, she didn’t want to be here. She didn’t want to be anywhere here - Secondo was supposed to make them all go away because everyone was being noisy and Secondo came storming in when it was noisy but he hadn’t shown up at all--
-Lucian was supposed to be here - he promised--but-neither of them were here. No one was here. There wasn’t anyone here but her.]
S-Secondo…
