Personality

Alena seems caring, innocent and slightly ditsy on first inspection. The girl is a self proclaimed mistress of deception. Her known personality is not what it constantly seems to be, and her attitude, cares and likes seem to change with her clothes. She is constantly scouting her environment to manipulate the ignorant, the stupid and the desperate, with nothing in mind but what she can gain from others. Her system of belief is "each to their own" meaning she gives no hate towards others beliefs and their past actions, unless what they've done is incredibly horiffic or immoral. The underlying reasons for her actions are usually laced with her desire to have power over her situation. She believes that anonymity and deception are what keeps her in control and she usually only does what others tell her to in consideration of the possible joy she will get out of it. When she loses control over anything, such as being uncovered for who she is and what she's done, she becomes stressed, volatile and irrational. Alena would even go so far as to kill others if it will truly benefit her, Although she avoids this and has never actually had to kill a person.

Skills and Abilities

Enhanced abilities over the mental capabilities (Mind Vision, Psychic Scream, Fade, Levitate, Mind Soothe, Mana Burn, Fear Ward) of a shadow priest, at the sacrifice of good directly damaging attacks, such as Mind Blast and Shadow Words. Illusory abilities.

History

Alena Elridge was the child of Alena Elridge. Her sister was also named Alena Elridge. Each female in her family was named the same, as traditional and ritual of keeping their family alive. Her father was never revealed to her. The family was not quite right. They were born in their home, near the town of Darkshire. Throughout her childhood, her mother taught her of the shadows, and the manipulation of it in the same way children of the church weild the light. This same thing was taught to her mother, her mother and her mother after that, being passed down to each female child of the next generation. The whole family was dark willed, semi-reclusive and sadistic. Each generation attempted to perform a ritual on their respective daughters. With a mixture of Fadeleaf and gravemoss, the solution labelled "Shadow Oil" was swallowed by the child. It was potentially poisonous and whether or not the child lived was dependant on the potency of the brew created by the mother. If the child died, They'd be seen as unworthy and failed the test to handle the shadow, even though this was not actually the case. Alena's sister did not survive this process. After her own ritual, Alena was then put through excruciating pain through application of the mothers shadow magic. Alena was not -actually- imbued with any extra power, as this was just an insane concoction made by her predecessors, although she thinks she has.

Alena's life was dramatically shortened by the ritual and the abilities her mother had taught her. For the first twenty years of her life, she was taught the art of mental manipulation of others and deception, as well as basic weilding of the dagger by her mother. Even though the power she wields is quite weak, it could be very potent in massive doses. She was taught that the ability had to be applied over time or it would not work, through physical contact with major body parts, especially the neck and extended eye contact. It was made to be channeled anywhere from minutes to hours to days, depending on the desired effect. The fruit of her labor would be a brief window of mind control over another sentient being. It coaxed others into an unnatural insatiable love for her to the point they will do things for her in an almost servant-like fashion. The victim also would usually believe that Alena will grant their deepest wishes and wants such as a family and home, wealth, or rule over the world.

Alana finally moved away once her mother died at the age of fifty three. Wandering at first, she landed in Stormwind. As her boredom increased however, she moved on to try and find more exciting culture. She ended up being drawn to the more socially corrupt places like Ratchet, Booty Bay, Gadgetzan and almost all neutrally free goblin-owned areas. This is where her expertise and experience of the trickery of man began to flourish. She would pick on the weak willed, ignorant and lusty, using a combination of sexual appeal and her shadow powered influence to rob men and women of anything from money to even their bare clothing after days of companionship with them. As she grew on it became more of a game and any wealth she gained from it was just gravy. Her use of magic has begun to toll on her, Becoming slightly more volatile and malevolent with each unnatural seduction she uses over others, and is on the slow but sure path of her own demise, much like her mothers.
