❧Biography☙
Alana Byrne is a bastard born child that was a result to an assault on her mother just a few weeks before she was mean to be marring a noble man. Sworn to secrecy by her parent', Aideen was forced to follow through with the arranged marriage and pass the child off as her husband's the first chance she got.Of course, the secret eventually came out when Alana was born and looked nothing like her father and only had her mothers dark coppery hair and golden eyes. Aideen was forced to tell James the truth of her parent's request. Enraged by the deception and having a child that was not his to care for James McGreggor demanded the child be sent away. This never happened however, due to her mothers stubborn will.
He didn't budge however, on Alana's name however and her mother was forced to give her own as a supplement. But Alana had everything else she could possibly need to be raised into a proper young lady. Taking lesson's from her mother and learning how to be all proper in her frilly dresses.
However, as Aideen finally birthed James another child, a young boy at this, Alana's treatment slowly began to slip away. He would become short with her or send her out to assist the estate helpers. Although her mother argued on her behalf,she was only a woman and her say only went so far.
At the age of fifteen, Alana's mother died giving birth to James third child, a baby girl. Only both her mother and baby sister didn't survive the night. That night James released his rage upon the teen, leaving her a bloody mess for the servant's help. The order to remove her from his home quickly followed.
Unable to do nothing to help her, for risk of been dismissed and unable to feed their own families, they followed his orders. Doing what they could to help the girl. Sending her out on her own, with nothing but an old cloak, food and a few coins. Sending her off to the closest town. The old cook was the only one who offered her further assistants, promising food when she desperately needed.
Morning the loss of her mother and the only home she knew, the girl had no choice but to go into town and search for help of any kind.
That was the moment everything changed.
Alana was attacked, moment's after her first whisper for help, a young woman unaware of the dangers the world had. She was robbed of everything she owned. Coin's, food and something that's couldn't be replaced. She was left in that alley way alone and broken.
That was the moment everything changed.
Over the next few years of being alone she turned to thievery and small jobs for money. Acting as a boy so she wouldn't be ignored or passed by. Only returning to that friendly cook when she desperately needed it, paying her back whenever she could.
Now twenty years of age, she still remains in the same town, breast bound and hair cut short, boy clothes her best disguise except the cloak she got from her mother, the one thing she has left from her and her most prised possession. She learned to survive and take a beating. Anything to care for herself. All it took was five years of rough winters and people underestimating her to get to this point.
❧Apppearance☙
Alana once had long copper coloured hair they fell on natural curls down her back until she cut it off, the wild strands now falling to her shoulders and in her face when she doesn't tie back the wild strands. She's average height with creamy pale skin, shapely curves when she's not underweight and hidden by her baggy men's clothes. She wears brown boots she managed to buy after spending sometime saving. She's made it a habit of binding her generous breast with and old cloth. Breaches of brown and green colour.She has a white shirt tucked into her pants and a belt to hold it all up.A long thin blade usually rest against her hip and a knife hidden in her boot, she tries to avoid pistols due to not knowing how to use them. Most of her clothing and items came from stealing or a long time of saving enough coin.
The only thing she's had since she was thrown out is her mother's cloak, something she's tweaked to help in her..unladylike endeavours. An item in which she is never usually found without, something she uses for warmth on cold nights and to hide when a plan goes wrong.
❧Personality☙
Although she was once a sweet girl Alana has hardened over the years of been alone and having to fend for herself. At times she can come across as rude and abrasive.She has quite a dark sense of humour, likely sprouting from her time in pubs listening to men, and at times giving them unwelcome surprises.
She is a bit of a two sided coin in some senses. Her harsher personality is that of which she use's when posing as a man, but as soon as she's dressed like a lady, her mother's teaching's shine through.
Although she hard to gain the trust of since it's not something she gives lightly, once it's gained she's extremely loyal and kind...to an extent. She can still be prone to fits of anger and violence but she sometimes will apologise for her hasty actions.
