The Basics
Character's Name: Alana Ruby Finch
Alana adores her name.
Character's Birthdate: September 21, 2025
Alana was born at approximately 4:30am
Resides: Bleak Street, New Zealand
Alana lived in a home which was inherited by her mother before Alana was even born. The house is old, so it creaks and moans like old houses tend to.
Blood Status: Mixed
Alana's parents are both mixed blood which makes her a mixed blood as well.
Wand: Knotted 14 Inch Rigid Willow Wand with Acromantula Web Core
Descriptions taken from Ollivander's shop
Length: A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.

Style: The knots of this wand's original wood remain clearly visible - earthy, this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature.

Wood: An excellent wandwood for healing and non-verbal magic, the wielder of a Willow wand more often than not has an something about themselves which makes them insecure unnecessarily.

Core: The web of an acromantula is especially strong, so as a core it helps to add a punch to spells. It has been known to be useful for spells of a darker nature. Wands with this core would have no effect against a Basilisk or against a wand that had a core with a part of a Basilisk.

Flexibility: Rigid: A difficult wand to control and sometimes broken under little force, but powerful in a fight.

Appearance
Hair: Long and dark blonde. Alana loves her hair and considers it one of her best features. She often wears it in a ponytail, though on special ocassions, she will wear it loose and wavy.

Eyes: Dark Red
Alana's eyes are genetic. Her mother has eyes that are the same exact color. She is not an albino as some people assume. Alana dislikes her eye color, but her mother won't allow her to wear contacts and insists that she be proud of them. For Alana, they were a source of embarrassment and made her feel like a freak when she was younger. Now, she is beginning to appreciate their uniqueness, but she is still quite sensitive about them.

Style: Alana's favorite colors are purple and silver. As a child, she could usually be found wearing her favorite purple hoodie over whatever she is wearing. When she was younger, Alana adopted a more baggy style. In recent years, she has begun to wear tighter clothes. Alana doesn't like skirts at all, but dresses are ok.

Room style - Alana has had her bedroom looking like this since she was 15.

Ring style - Although this ring belonged to Chaos' great-grandmother, Alana feels like it was made for her. She adores the ring much more than she'll admit to him or anyone else, and often pulled the box out of her trunk ar school to take a peek at it. Now that she is out of school, Alana has taken to wearing her ring.

Height: 5'3
Alana was always one of the smallest kids in her class, and she frequently was mistaken for a student that was younger. To compensate, Alana will sometimes wear heels. While she doesn't wear them often, when she does, they are 3-4 inches high.

Weight: 116 lbs.
Alana is very petite, but she does have curves.

She eats like a bird and is quite picky about what she eats. Alana does have a sweet tooth and will not turn down a piece of chocolate or candy. She is also fond of fruit. Alana loves Chaos' cooking, and though she has never admitted it to him, she is sure he is aware.

Personality: From a young age, it was apparent that Alana was going to develop a very strong personality. She is very forceful and does not like it when she does not get her way. She is prone to temper tantrums and is rather manipulative although it usually doesn't work with her parents.

When she entered school, things changed for Alana. Her desire to fit in took over and not be seen as a freak took over, and she became withdrawn and shy. Her true personality was only been seen when she was angry or afraid. Eventually, with her increasing responsibilities, Alana began to come out of her shell. On the positive side, she shows true leadership and an ambition to succeed. On the negative, Alana can be quite petty and sharp.

Magical beliefs: Alana was raised to believe that magical people were superior to muggles, so she doesn't have a high opinion of muggle borns who are more or less intruders in her eyes. Alana isn't a pureblood so she doesn't think they are any better or worse than other blood types. She thinks a lot of purebloods are snobby, so she doesn't like that. Having married into a pure blood family has confirmed her opinion of pure bloods.

Family ties: Until she learned of her engagement, Alana fully considered herself a daddy's girl. Now that she is becoming more resigned to the engagement she is in, she has begun to reconcile with her father.

Alana has a similar personality to her mother, so they are always arguing with each other. Her mother also has a lot of expectations for Alana, which makes her feel pressured and uncomfortable. Alana used to want to live up to her parent's expectations, but since starting school, she mostly just wants to fit in and get by.

Alana looks up to her brother, but she also enjoys annoying him to no end. She admires his ability to ignore what their parents say and do things his way, something she is struggling to learn how to do. Alana knows that her brother doesn't necessarily like the family, but she loves him anyway.

Alana looks up to her Aunt Irene who heads a Ministry department and raises two daughters on her own. She sees her as a strong woman.


Family:

Mother: Adrianne Finch (nee. Sedgwick)
Occupation: Healer/Scitorari

Father: Ioan Finch
Occupation: Potions Trader/Scitorari Leader
Ioan considered herself a daddy's girl until she learned of her father arranging a marriage for her. The young girl considered this the ultimate betrayal, the relationship between her and her father remaining frayed for years to come. It wasn't until after she and Chaos had eloped and her father came to her aide that their relationship began to be mended.

Brother: Lorin Finch
Occupation: Ravenclaw Alum
Alana has always admired her brother, particularly his ability to be himself.

Paternal Aunt: Irene Finch
Occupation: Ministry Official- Head of the Department of Transportation
Alana isn't especially close to her aunt, though they are quite similar. She admires how ambitious her aunt is.
Cousin: Melina Kozlova - Alana used to get along great with her cousin when they were children, but at some point, she changed. After they both started school, they rarely talked unless they were forced to at family gatherings.
Cousin: Violeta Finch

Daughter: Eris Angel [Mar 27, 2045]
Alana loves her daughter, but she's always fearful that she's going to break her. Eris was born prematurely, and Alana thought she was to blame until the Healers explained it had nothing to do with her. The baby is developing well now, though she is a little smaller than usual. Alana enjoys feeding Eris and feels they bond then, but she sometimes thinks Eris prefers Chaos to her.

Relationship Information

First Kiss: Matthew Cosgrove after the Yule Ball during her third year.
First time: Chaos Zhefarovich during the winter break of 2043. They'd enjoyed a nice dinner and a lot to drink. One thing led to another, and the pair had sex.

First Boyfriend:Matthew Cosgrove
December 2039 - March 2040
Matthew and Alana met each other by quite literally bumping into each other at the Yule Ball. They spent the entire evening together, which ended in them sharing a kiss - Alana's first. Seeing how serious things were getting, Chaos' family quickly stepped in to force Alana to break up with Matthew, even if they did seem to have genuine feelings for each other. They would make attempts to remain friends, but even that was difficult and dangerous for Matthew, and with time, they seemed to return to the strangers they'd once been.

Second Boyfriend: Asa Romanes
October 2041- March 2042
A relationship built more out of convenience, they were both engaged to other people, than anything else, Alana enjoyed being seen with Asa Romanes even though they had little in common. Quick to overlook his faults for the sake of what they had going on, Alana enjoyed her time with Asa for as long as their relationship lasted.

Married to: Chaos Zhefarovich
Alana and Chaos first met just before school began while she sat on a park bench eating a snack. It woukd be years before she'd recall that chance encounter. Alana's next encounter with Chaos was after they were betrothed.
