Personality

---

The first word that comes to mind when talking about Marlena is SPOILED, which comes as a consequence of being the baby of the Castillo family. However, being born with a silver spoon in her mouth hasn't stopped her from being the kind of girl to get everything her mind sets to… Even if it means stepping over others and using tactics like manipulation, deceit or blackmail. Marls is very determined and persistent, always pushing herself to give only her best. She is also charming, outgoing, sarcastic, a little bitchy, impatient, loves to have fun and is a very big flirt. Her temper is a quick one, and she possesses no tolerance for bullshit. She is also quite shallow, constantly fussing over her looks. Marlie also tries to appear as an unreachable, untouchable force to be reckoned with who will only give you the time of day if she finds you interesting.

However, once she lets you in, you see another side of Marlena. She can be caring, sweet and loyal to a fault. She is also very loving and affectionate border-lining with clingy. She’s a very passionate lover who will fall hard and deep for the person who claims her heart. As such, she can be very jealous and possessive of what she considers hers.

Upbringing

---

Marlena Alejandra Castillo made her entrance into the world on the eighteenth day of the ninth month of the new millenium. Born at 17 minutes after her brother, the premature and complicated birth of the Castillo twins was enough for matriarch Gloria to decide she was done in the children department. Because she was born at 33 weeks of gestation, Marlie and her brother spent the first 74 days of their lives in the NICU, with both children having defeated the odds of a low percentage of survival. The difficulty of Marlie’s early days, the very real possibility of death and her ultimate survival branded her as the family’s little miracle. She became the apple of her family members’ eyes: the girl who could do no wrong and deserved the world. From the moment she arrived at her home as a tiny, bundled-up newborn, Marlie was raised to have only the best of the best. This meant having the most expensive clothes, accessories, the biggest birthday parties and toys… You name it. Not only was she spoiled in the material aspect, but in the personal aspect as well. She received all the love in the world -especially from her older brother Adrián, who had pretty much become her protector. It seemed things could not be going better for the picture-perfect Castillo family… Until the castle came crumbling down.

Her father’s imprisonment was a hard hit on Marlie. Being as young as she was and a complete daddy’s girl, she didn’t take to the news lightly. The young woman clearly remembers that fateful hard knocking on the door in the middle of the night, followed by a stream of heavily-armed and protected policemen stomping into her home. She watched as these men took her father away in handcuffs, while she cried and screamed and kicked at her older brother to let her go because “the bad men were taking Daddy away”. The heartbroken faces of her sobbing mother, her shocked sister and her brother’s silently furious tears were branded in her head for as long as she could remember. The nightmarish thoughts of ever going through that again with any of her family members still kept her awake at night sometimes.

When she was old enough to attend school at Saint Luke’s Academy, Marlie found herself completely out of her forever-the-center-the-Universe element. Other kids with knowledge of her past made fun of her, her father, her family and the disgraceful events they had gone through. However, one death glare from Marlie and the mention of what her relatives or family associates could do to said bullies was enough to shut their little mouths, and to discourage any further behaviors like this from them and everyone else. Everybody that crossed paths with her had learned early on the one thing that followed her to this very day: you don’t mess with Marlie Castillo.

With the protection of her mother and older siblings (and eventually her father when she was sixteen), Marlie blossomed to an even more spoiled, imposing, confident young woman. Upon her arrival at Salem High School, she quickly established herself as the reigning queen bee: admired by most, despised by a few and feared by many. Her Hispanic curves got her attention from both males and females alike, which she happily exploited to her benefit or to satisfy her high-voltage desires. By the time she had graduated, she was a master at the art of seduction, with a list of victims who’d pretty much had no chance against her. Bored with how effortless it was to catch prey her age, Marlie decided to move onto bigger and better things. Currently, her goal is to seduce the oldest son of every important family of Salem. It’s proving itself to be a very entertaining -albeit dangerous- game.

Appearance

---

The first feature you notice upon setting your sights on Aliana is the signature red hair coming from the long line of Irish descent, which she mostly wears down or in a ponytail. In terms of style, it can definitely be described as grungy-casual. Her outfits includes T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, loafers or boots and a leather or varsity jacket. As expected, most of her ensembles will contain a black item, as it is her favorite color. In terms of accessories, she will wear necklaces, rings and bracelets to add some spice to her outfits. However, her four inseparable companions are a pair of sunglasses, earrings, her earbuds and a gold necklace with the initials A and E in two separate circular pendants. You will only see Ali wearing things like sundresses and shorts during the summer, and only in very important social events or dates with her boyfriend will you see her all decked out. Makeup-wise, she keeps it simple with just mascara and watermelon-flavored lip gloss; occasionally a winged liner. She has four continuous piercings in each ear along with a cartilage ring. Ali has no tattoos, but she has a fair share of faded scars on her legs from falling off her bike as a child.

Personality

---

Aliana Brady is a direct descendant from one of the co-founding families of Salem, and this shows in the way she presents herself. She's a charming, strong-willed, confident young woman, who expresses herself with poise and eloquence. She is witty, sarcastic, with a dark sense of humor and laid back attitude. With her siblings, friends and lovers, she is caring, affectionate and loyal to the core, and will defend her own tooth and nail. When it comes to romance, Ali loves hard, deeply and intensely. She will go out of her way to make her significant other feel happy, love and safe. Those who know her will say she gets what she wants in life; perseveres and works her hardest to achieve all her goals. She definitely knows the value of being stubborn until she gets what she wants (and that sometimes you gotta be a bitch about it), but she isn’t stupid or reckless, and isn’t about to let one wrong move jeopardize her plans.

Upbringing

---

Aliana Noelle Brady was born on the sunny afternoon of a 31st day of July nearly twenty-four years before, the second-born daughter to Salem’s own Shawn and Caroline Brady. Her childhood was nothing out of the ordinary one for the typical American child. She grew up in a closely-knit family, protected by her older brother and at the same time protecting her older siblings. Her parents, ever the hard-workers, always made a point to teach their children the difference from right and wrong, and instill in each of them the importance of working hard for the things you want. Ali was more than happy to comply, but with the years began to resent her parents for the very vocal and constant expectations being imposed on her and her siblings.

When she reached her thirteenth birthday, Aliana finally became completely tired of playing Little Miss Perfect. She began to rebel against her parents and her expectations: refusing to attend events, constantly arguing with them, sneaking out to smoke pot, and so on. This lead to Ali's relationship with her parents getting shaky, which in turn lead her to taking comfort on her best friends. At the age of fifteen, she had her first relationship with a woman, coming out as bisexual. As expected, this didn’t sit very well with her heavily Catholic family; and although the relationship was short lived, it was enough to further strain the relationship.

It was not all completely lost, though. In her senior year of high school, Aliana discovered that the feelings she had for Elliot Horton went far beyond the best-friendship they had shared since they were toddlers. Taking a leap of faith, she decided to come clean… And was surprised to find out he’d been feeling the exact same way for over half his life. From then on, the rest was history between them. They began a relationship right away- much to the pleasure of both families- and continue to go on strong to this very day.

It seemed Elliot was the good influence needed to steer Ali’s life back on track. She began to work on herself, enrolling in Salem U and slowly fixing her relationship with her parents to a healthy level. The young woman graduated uni with honors, achieving her goal of. She was appointed to assistant manager at her parents’ pub upon her graduation, with hopes of taking over the family business whenever her parents decide to retire. However, the stubbornness trait of the Brady family has made the job a little more difficult than normal for Ali. Her parents refuse to let go of the reigns enough to give her any sort of complete responsibility, which has lead to more than one argument between parents and daughter. And although she would love to carry on the family legacy, it looks like her current employers are more trouble than they’re worth.

Misc

---

• Has been dating Elliot Horton for the last 4 years.
• Her goals in the next five years include opening up a restaurant with Eli, and hopefully get married and have children… Whenever Eli decides to propose, that is.
• They are currently on the hunt for their own little place to call home.

“God help us all if there’s a round two,” Alexandros mused while he rubbed the area between his temples, visibly looking stressed.

“I’ll say…” Audrey admitted, letting out a sigh as if to let Alex know she was just as done with this issue as he was. Why did their families have to embarrass them like that? Would this be a common occurrence if they continued to date? The brunette shook her head, trying to clear away any thoughts of what could happen if Miranda and Ava continued to be exposed to each other. God help them indeed.

In a comforting gesture, Audrey began to rub his back, making circles with her open palm. She felt the tension in his muscles lessen, a sign that he was less stressed. She didn't know if it was because he was feeling more comfortable around her or he just wanted to excuse his sister’s behavior, but out of nowhere, Alex began to tell her about how Ava was probably acting up due to ‘not getting some’ and a possible falling out with the school’s walking disaster (who was apparently the younger woman’s boyfriend or something).

Audrey’s eyes widened at the revelation, her surprise at Alexandros’ bluntness quickly turning into amusement at his sister’s dilemma. So the rough, tough-as-nails Ava Mossos actually had a vulnerable, human side after all, and wasn’t as exempt from the trials and tribulations of teenagers her age faced. The Latina understood perfectly what Ava was going through, though. She’d had her fair share of times without getting some, and it certainly turned her into a bigger bitch than she already was. The scenario was never pleasant for those around her. The rest of his story was drowned out as she had flashbacks of the horrors Ava must be living during these dry, turbulent times.

“As much as I disagree with your sister in some things, I can totally see where she comes from,” Audrey admitted, visibly cringing. “God knows I would go crazy at not having my "special needs" met."

“So, was it just me or did my brother and your cousin seem like they were high as Snoop Dogg?” Alexandros asked out of the blue, breaking the awkward silence that had formed.

Audrey couldn’t help but smirk, remembering the way a very giddy Heather and Eli had arrived at the table stumbling a little and some time after everyone else. The fact that someone outside her, Romina or Delilah had actually managed to get Heather to break her eternal resting bitch face to crack a smile was no easy feat. On top of that, he’d actually gotten her to laugh and speak in a manner that looked like it wasn’t layered with sarcasm. And that the conqueror of said feat was Alex’s brother? That had been the big surprise of the evening.

As if on queue, Audrey’s phone chimed in the pocket of her skirt. Frowning, she pulled it out, and her brows furrowed even more when she saw that the messages came from Heather. She looked around, thinking that maybe her older cousin was sending her a warning about someone coming their way. Failing to see or hear anything out of the ordinary, the young woman turned back to her phone to unlock it… And found herself with a juicy piece of gossip when she read the messages.

“Well, looks like my cousin and your brother are getting along swimmingly,” Audrey said suggestively, handing her phone to Alexandros with with wiggling eyebrows. On the screen was a text from Heather that read as follows:

The minute Demi and Jomana entered the room, they were greeted by an eruption of claps and cheers from the Gryffindors present at the party. Earlier that day, Gryffindor had snagged a win in their first Quidditch match of the season, beating their canary yellow and black mates of the Hufflepuff house by a whopping 200 points. This meant that the Gryffindors and their supporters were very much in a celebratory mood, while the disgruntled faces of the Hufflepuffs showed they were still disappointed on the outcome.The Gryffindor captain did her part on saying her hellos, shaking hands, giving and returning hugs before making a beeline to what would be her appointed place for the night.

Along the way, her blue eyes fell on a familiar group of Slytherins. There was Corey Montclair, deep in conversation with Blake Cornell. Then there was Benjamin Charleston, very obviously working his magic on an oblivious Fiona Wildegrass. Next was Noel, whom Demi shot a very discreet yet suggestive wink. And finally, right in the center of the crowd, was none other than her ‘beloved’ ex-boyfriend. And, as predicted, he wasn’t alone. He happened to be in the company of Chordeva Erebus: the one girl who had so clearly and desperately crushed on him for years. Demetria couldn’t help but let out a wicked little laugh. It seemed Beatrice wasn’t the only one fighting for her scraps. It would be fun for her to watch the two women fight over what had already been hers.

Demi’s prideful smirk stayed in place, never once leaving her even when she saw Kalder looking at Deva as a hungry dog would a nice piece of steak. Tonight the boy would get what he deserved, so why stress over silly things like that? However, this didn’t mean she would be acting any less petty. So she walked straight past Kalder and Deva, purposely elbowing his arm in an attempt to spill his drink on her. Dem kept her head held high, never once looking back to apologize or see if it had worked or not. Without further incident, Snow White finally arrived at her lair, clutching a butterbeer she’d picked up from a table along the way.

The reason why Demi had been appointed the party’s official DJ was because she was the one of the few students at the school who had managed to magick her iPod into the grounds. It had taken her a fair share of research and failed attempts, but her determination to never part from her faithful companion from the muggle world had been stronger. With the electronic device now safely protected from the interferences magic would normally cause, the next step had been to figure out a way to transmit the sound in the absence of speakers. This provided to not be an issue at all, because the party organizers had somehow found a way to sneak a surround sound system that would work with a car battery instead of electricity. Once the iPod was connected to the aux cable, and the cable connected to the speakers, they were set to start.

With a wide smile, Demi unlocked the device, looked up the playlist she’d made for the party, and quickly pressed “Play”.

I be everywhere everybody know me
Super, super fresh with a dope styling
Hunny on my wrist, couple karats on my neck
Givenchy keep the chickens in check
All these car keys drive them chickens to my crib
Dru Hill? Got somebody sleeping on my bed
She give me IQ, that mean she get ahead
I just give her beats, I don't give her bread
'Cause we be in the club
Bottles on deck and god dammit, god dammit I'm feelin' myself
'Cause I'm gon' get it all
And I'm a throw it up like god dammit, god dammit I'm feelin' myself
Look up in the mirror, the mirror look at me
The mirror be like baby you the shit god dammit
You the shit, you the shit, you the shit god dammit
You the shit god dammit, you the shit, you the shit
