Personality: Alina is quite the people person. She's well spoken, educated, polite and is able to start talks with a lot of people quite easily. She loves to spend her time among others and her kind nature often attracts the attention of those around her. For better or worse she's ready to help those she deems helpless no matter what.
That prideful side of her is more of a curse than blessing as it often gets her into troubles with others who do not wish to deal with those who are in need. Still she's smart and with that pride of hers, she's always thinking of ways to reach her goals. Her plans are often sneaky and she often keeps secrets from those around her for different reasons, more often than not for their or her own safety. All of that lately has been affecting her a lot, causing her a lot of stress as she has to juggle between the caravan's inner groups, trying to make people not tear each other apart.

History
Parents: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Childhood: Alina was abandoned as a baby at the doorstep of a well known and rather famous courtesan house of Veridis. The women there took the baby in and took care of her as she grew up. Because the courtesans there were all of high class and all of them were well educated, Alina grew up also well studied as she read the books that were being brought in by customers as gifts or bought by the women who took care of her.
Adulthood: At the age of 18, Alina was a well known courtesan with quite the future ahead of her. She was smart, charming and with many customers. She continued her studies and by her 19th year, already took part of the management of the courtesan house. She was responsible for the expenses, keeping the budget nice and tidy. She had caught the eyes of a wealthy merchant who later started to court her with the idea of buying her from the courtesan house.
Special Moments: When she was 9 during the winter solstice she once met a witch who was in town to perform a ritual to lead the spirits of the dead to the world of the dead. Before the witch left town, she walked over to Alina and gave her a silver rose medallion to protect her. She said a girl had to receive a gift on her birthday, but neither Alina nor her caretakers from the courtesan house knew when her birthday was. She still remembers it as her first most special day.
Current Events: When the darkness rose and everything well to oblivion, Alina somehow or other found herself as part of a caravan heading away from the growing nightmare. She was one of those who received a vision of where to go and as a small caravan formed around her at first. Then later they joined with another caravan and then another. Now she's just one of the couple of people serving as representatives of the different groups. Also during the escape one of the horrors that this darkness unleashed struck her face, causing her a deep scar on her face.
