Appearance: 
	[color=ed1c24]Standing 5'4" tall with a slim waist, this young fair-skinned girl has a slightly intimidating feel about her because of the serious expression she usually has her face set in. The large burn scar situated on her left arm she'd gotten after a spell gone badly probably does not help with this first impression, either. Much like her light blonde hair and light brown eyes, however, she's a bit softer than one would think. She usually keeps her medium-length, fine hair in a messy bun at the top of her head so it doesn't get in her way, and her long arms are often left uncovered in all the floral cami dresses she tends to wear. [/color]

Personality: 
	[color=ed1c24]Alayna comes across as aloof to most, if not all, that happens to run into her. If anyone took the time to get to know her, however, they would realize that it is merely a self-defense mechanism as a result of her family's position within the coven. In reality, she has a pretty dry sense of humor and a drive for her life as a witch, coming up with little spells of her own in her spare time.  She literally and figuratively enjoys playing with fire, as fire spells are her favorite to do along with a heavy need to always have her curiosity satisfied. [/color]

Biography: 
	[color=ed1c24]Although the Castellano's have belonged to the Sisters for a long time, their roots could be traced to another coven. Perhaps this was why they were never wholly trusted by many still, especially when one considered the circumstances of their coven's downfall. It wasn't every day that a coven fell, so when theirs had there were understandably many questions that needed answers. It was too bad no one seemed able to remember the exact circumstances of the event. It was almost like they'd been put under a powerful curse. Yet, they could not be left behind unable to protect themselves, so were permitted to stay close by. 

	It had taken some time for Alayna's ancestors to gain the trust of those higher up. They'd done everything they could, obeyed every command given no matter the risk, despite having lost so much already. They were willing to lose more. Finally, with the formation of familial links within the coven itself, their first member was welcomed in, and then another and another. Eventually, Alayna herself was born.

	Still, some within the coven refused to let sleeping dogs lie. Little comments made here and there to Alayna, never in earshot of those who would swiftly put a stop to them.  From "It must have been one of your own that destroyed your coven" to  "why is "the convict"  allowed to walk around so freely, anyway?". And, at first, she would pay them no mind. Drowning herself in the river of the past was not going to do anything for her present or future. So why bother?  
	
	Curiosity had always been her fatal flaw, however, even as a child. So, into the past she swam, going to the oldest of her family (her great-grandmother) with all of the same questions she'd been asked by her peers.  To say that she was surprised by what she was told would be an understatement. 

	Why would the elders allow her family to remain here for so long knowing it had been one of her very own responsible for their displacement? She had yet to discover the answer. [/color]

Notable Rumors: [color=ed1c24]It has been said that she and her family are planning an uprising, which is ridiculous considering they don't have the power to on their own. She's also unintentionally developed the reputation of being a loner[/color]

Greatest Fear: [color=ed1c24]She has this secret fear of insects like bees and wasps, as she was stung by one as a child on her cheek. [/color]

Magic: [color=ed1c24]Alayna loves to experiment with elemental magic and over time has become very good at it, especially fire. There's just something about watching flames dance and twirl before her, scorching the earth along its natural path of destruction.  The girl sucks at anything dealing with potion-making, though. She just doesn't have the patience for it that's required sometimes.[/color]
