A young, intelligent teen girl who ran away from home. However, her social awkwardness gets in the way of her dream of making something of herself.
Alaina is, though extremely intelligent, very shy and withdrawn. After leaving her home to seek out a better life, she finds that her lack of social skills may become a problem. She has a quiet determination, and dislikes giving in and submitting to authority. Alaina values loyalty and friendship, and although she finds it difficult to make friends, the ones she makes are friends for life. Although she generally views the world in an optimistic light, she has depression and has moments when everything she believes comes into question.
When Alaina left home, she brought a bag with the bare necessities. She also brought some money, a few books, and a silver dagger, just in case. Everything she owns she carries with her.
Alaina grew up in a small village and large family, where she never quite fit in.
