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.

Personality:
A brag, optimistic, and generous man are a few terms that can sum about who Ludolf used to be before the End of the World happened. But that man is no longer existed as he hugged his cold wife in his hand. Beside him, the daughter cry, blaming that he was not there when she need him the most. And Ludolf accepted the blame. It was true that he had never thought about the idea of losing her. It was true that he all he had ever promised to her was broken by him. And it was true that he had betrayed the most sacred vow of them all. The vow of love and friendships when two souls bounded till “Death do us part?" A chain, a constant burning emblem that etched on his skin, reminding him for the vow that he betray and the love that was never fulfilled.  

Filled with regret for his past action, Ludolf is no longer the man he used to be. He becomes skeptical about others, always keeping an eye for his back in fear of them going to take his daughter away. His smile becomes more bitter, a constant reminder for his failures. His head always keeps low, focusing more on his feet and the amount of snow that is accumulating after days. Despite it had been weeks since her death, Ludolf could not pass on from such trauma. The sound of tearing and crying, of innocence weep and helpless scream, scared him every night. As time go one, the aura of a cheerful man died off and replaced with a hollow husk. Sometimes, he even thinks about suicide. The idea of stop living in this meaningless universe comforts him, giving him these slight chuckles at the back of his throat. And he almost did. If it was not because of his daughter. 

She is the only person he had left on this world. And he felt an obligation to give her a better future. A much better future than this. Away from the onslaught. Away from pain and grief where she could enjoy her youth alongside with her friends. Then. Just then can he die with his eye closed and a smile painted over his face.
