Fears:
Never breaking her curse - Alena fears forever being cursed and being forced to go about the rest of her shunning the touch of metal.
Loneliness - Alena is scared of being alone forever. Whether deserted by friends or never finding that special someone, the idea scares her.
Bats - Call her a girl for hating bats, she won't care. Bats freak her out.
Dreams:
Travel the World - There's nothing like traveling the world to open your eyes. Alena has always wanted to explore the four corners of the world.
Losing her curse - Of course Alena dreams of the day when her curse is lifted, she hopes it's sooner rather than later.
Become Independent - Alena wants to become independent of her parents and their money. As much as she enjoys having everything provided for her she has recently come to know the price for their wealth and the lengths her father will go to maintain it.
Their Curse: Alena is unable to touch metal without becoming weak. When any type of metal touches her skin she finds it hard to breathe, stand or think. Nausea is a common symptom and more often then not if the contact is prolonged she will faint. Coated metal doesn't have the same effect as there is a layer between the metal and her skin. Small flakes of metal might make her slightly queasy, but the quantity must be large enough to physically hold in her palm (otherwise the metals in her food and inside her would affect her).
Secrets:
Alena helped embezzle money from her Father's company. Despite the fact that her father turned his back on her when she was cursed, Alena hasn't told anyone about his illegal activities.
Personality:
Allie is always the life of the party. She's fun, sociable and always ready to experience new things and meet new people. Making friends has never been a problem for the girl. She genuinely loves to talk to people and find out about them. People are often surprised to find out how good a listen the girl is. That being said Alena does like the attention to be focused on herself as well. She's always been confident and has no problem facing new situations or groups of people.
She loves to flirt with people, most of the time it's simply a type of entertainment. It's harmless flirting and generally only with people that can give it back. Similarly she loves to joke with friends. Sarcasm is her humour of choice and Alena can automatically respect anyone who can match her in a battle of sarcastic wit.
People often assume that because of Alena's looks and wealth that she must therefore lack in the brain department. However Alena has always been naturally bright. She was a precocious child and frequently understood ideas before a lot of her peers. Even when she was partying she managed to maintain decent grades. If she had worked harder she could have gotten fantastic grades, but she generally just cruised through on her natural talent.
Alena is also surprisingly loyal. Even though her family is hardly around she has remained loyal to her parents, even when her father became involved in illegal activities. Similarly she will remain loyal to her friends no matter what situation they find themselves in. Once she has made a friend she works hard to keep them.
Alena isn't all confidence though, despite the appearance she gives off. Only those very close to her have any idea that beneath her confidence is a weaker, vulnerable side. She fears loneliness and hates the idea that she might possibly find herself alone with no friends. It's for this reason that she tries to hang onto old friendships, although things don't always work out.

History:
Born into an influential, wealthy family Alena has never wanted for anything. Her parents were always able to afford the best for their only child and they raised her to expect the best. Alena's father, August Childers, was born into a poor family. Not content with his lot in life August worked hard to raise his status. He began his own metals business at the tender age of 21, which quickly expanded until he had opened offices all around the world. Leonora Childers, Alena's mother, was the sole heiress to the Rover fortune. She was old money while her father was new. It took three years for Leonora's parents to accept August, but eventually they did, no doubt the fact that his fortune looked to surpass their own didn't hurt.
Things, however, weren't quite fairytale perfect for the couple. It took them years of trying to finally have their first child. Alena Beatrice Childers was born on the 6th of June to a pair of delighted parents. However the delight began to fade quickly and soon enough August was called away to work and Leonora began to drift away. Alena was left to the number of staff that her parents hired and they were the ones that tried to teach and discipline her as she grew.
From the get go Alena proved to be a difficult child. She was extremely bright and precocious, often leaping ahead of the other children her age. She would grow bored easily when they covered subjects she had already learned. Her attention would wonder, often ending in trouble for her or another student. The nannies and servants that looked after Alena put up with her attitude, no doubt because they felt sorry sorry for the girl.
As she grew so did her attitude and her rebelliousness. Drinking became a regular hobby and she was often out at all hours of the night. Neither parent were concerned by her behaviour. After all Alena was able to maintain decent grades and her parents were never notified about any trouble she might make. So she was able to continue on, drawing money from her seemingly limitless accounts and showing little regard for rules.
It was only thanks to Alena's parents' wealth that she didn't run into trouble sooner, but even money couldn't get her out of the curse. For some years Alena's father had been embezzling money through his company. When Alena found out she wasn't quite sure what to think. The money she lived on was most likely made through the illegal activity. Rather than turn him into the police Alena agreed to keep quiet and even help her father on occasion. She resented doing this but believed that if she didn't her father would go to jail and her family would lose everything. Life went on as usual for a time and Alena continued her partying, spoiled ways. It was during this time that the witch cursed her. In a twist of fate the witch cursed Alena to never be able to touch metal again, the very material that had made her father's fortune. Seeing that Alena would no longer be much help her father pushed her aside, leaving her to figure out her curse alone.
Finding out that her father didn't care that she was cursed, only about his company and money, has been something of a wake up call to Alena, not to mention the actual curse. She's now determined not to need the money from her parents and eventually plans on finding someway to support herself. Of course first she must rid herself of her curse.
