LOCATION: Edge
OCCUPATION: Ex-SOLDIER, 1st-Class. Part-time Delivery Girl. Part-time W. R. O. Member.
PERSONALITY: Strong will (some would say bull-headed), and a sense of right and wrong. She can be really down to earth, sweet, almost childish sometimes. But other times she can be terrifyingly cruel and insensitive.
SHORT HISTORY: Her mother and father are unknown to her save that she is aware that they were politicians, up there with the high rollers. Apparently, they gave Shinra all their support, their everything. Including her. She found out that they were later assassinated by President Shinra after they handed her over. While that mother held Alana within her, however, she was shaped, molded and sculpted, by another mother. Jenova.
Alana was raised by Shinra, rising up the ranks of SOLDIER at an incredible pace. It was when she was thirteen that she was promoted to First-Class for saving the life of the President’s son, Rufus, when he was kidnapped by an Anti-Shinra group. The two grew very close despite their age difference and ranks in life, eventually becoming lovers. It is because of Sephiroth that she finds out about her origins.
APPEARANCE: Alana is a casual dresser and wears very little makeup. Her hair is as long as Sephiroth's, and the silver in her eyes tend to glow when her emotions get high. She possess two wings, the left black, the right white.
ABILITIES/SKILLS: While Alana is skilled in various weaponry, she prefers the sword, her choice being the katana. Although Krav Maga shares many techniques with other martial arts, such as karate, boxing, savate, muay thai, jujutsu, judo, kobudo and wrestling, the training is often quite different. It stresses fighting under worst-case conditions or from disadvantaged positions (for example, against several opponents, when protecting someone else, with one arm unusable, when dizzy, or against armed opponents). Unlike Karate there are no predefined sequences of moves or choreographed styles; instead Krav Maga emphasizes rapid learning and the retzev ("continuous combat motion"), with the sole imperative being effectiveness, for either attack or defensive situations.
