appearance:
Alana is far shorter than her twin brother, often joking that he stole her ability to grow as a child. She has stopped growing at 5'1". She has been trained as a ball room dancer by private tutors since she was a young child and so holds her tiny stature with grace and is light footed - people that see her have often described her as cat-like. Her perfectly tailored, designer clothes encapsulate an athletic body that is usually tanned nicely at the beginning of the school semester due to her summers vacationing on the beach in Italy. Alana's blonde locks are every bit as curly as her brother's and although she was born blonde... she has to help them stay blonde through dying.
Alana's favourite colour is purple and it to accent most things that the school will allow. Her dragonhide gloves, for example, are coloured purple. Her dragonhide boots are a very deep purple - almost black and always polished (she has some student under her thumb to do the grunt work because she won't deign to utter even the spell to clean for herself when a maid should. She wears one very delicate silver ring which is almost identical to her twin brother's.

overall personality:
Alana is a perfect little madam. On the outside, for the most part, she appears to be an angel and yet... Lucifer was the best and brightest until his fall from grace, right? Alana takes any and all opportunities to help the people around her suffer. When she was younger, simple little things like lining the muggleborn's desk with a thin coat of bubotuber pus before class or using bulbadox powder in their bag hit the misery and chaos needs pretty nicely. Now these practical, nasty little pranks have gotten more subtle but more lasting. In particular, if anyone threatens her relationship with her brother, Alana can get pretty spiteful. One person in particular is finding that out.
Aside from this though, Alana is actually quite caring when it comes to animals and has a strong bond with her horse, Nero at home. She does not have a pet at school, but enjoys and excels at CoMC. She also does very well at DADA and whilst Aiden trumps her at Potions, she excels at Charms. She has aspirations to become a Hit Wizard but personally, I worry for the world if she does become one.
The bond she has with her twin brother, Aiden, is extremely deep and they communicate often in Italian or simply by look. When they were younger, Alana would creep into the boy's dorms to sleep with her brother, particularly when she was suffering from her menstrual cramps. Now they will sit together for most classes and spend time in the evenings by candlelight with Aiden strumming and Alana pacing out dance steps after hours of study.
personal history
origins:
The Valentino family is from Italy - the twins are the first generation born in England itself. Nonno Valentino brought over his young family after the Second Wizarding War to purchase a vast amount of real estate that had become... available with the deaths of "good people" and prosecutions of the Death Eaters alike. The family are magnates in Italy and Nonno was ready to prove himself as the second son - he is now considered the patriarch and Alana's potential for arranged marriage is being discussed not so secretly by the Powers that Be.
relations:
[1] - Genaio Antonio Valentino - Nonno (grandfather), real estate mogul, patriarch of the Valentino family
[1] - Palmira Giana Valentino [nee Borgia] - Nonna (grandmother), home maker, deceased
[2] - Nicoli Genaio Valentino - father, real estate mogul
[2] - m. Elena Luisa Valentino [nee Astolfi] - mother, home maker, married to Nicoli
[2] - Antonia Giana Astolfi [nee Valentino] - aunt, owner of La Befana, a gift shop filled with specialty toys for young magical children
[2] - m. Dario Fabrizio Astolfi - uncle, works for Genaio & Nicoli, married Antonia
[3] - Aiden Nicoli Valentino - twin brother, Ravenclaw
[3] - Felix Fabrizio Astolfi - cousin, Slytherin, son of Antonia & Dario (4th year)
[3] - Alessio Antonio Astolfi - cousin, Slytherin, son of Antonia & Dario (3rd year)
[3] - Pasqualina Astolfi - cousin, Slytherin, daughter of Antonio & Dario (6th year)
These chronicle the direct descendants of Genaio Valentino that reside in England. There are more Valentino family in Italy, and they are related to the Astolfi who also reside in Italy - it's one of the Valentino family's major connections.
pets:
Nero, a black arab stallion at home.
history:
Alana was the smaller, second twin born to Nicoli and Elena Valentino. She was a hard delivery, almost costing the mother her life. Needless to say, the pair of them did not get along from that day forth - Elena attempted to breast feed for a few days before organising an alternative. There was no cuddles or bonding, a lot of the attention went to her brother ... but that was OK, because even Alana was soothed when she was placed with her brother. It's remained that way ever since, to be completely honest.
As a child, Alana was introduced to ballroom dancing and had a bit of a hard time developing her balance and muscle tone in her thighs and calves. Her Zia (Aunt) Toni suggested that she be introduced to riding and it began the lifelong love of horses and riding. She's particularly in love with unicorns and has various paraphernalia including an antique unicorn hoof turned into a cream jar for her bubotuber based skin care cream. Alana is the cherry in her father's eye and is particularly well received as entertainment during pureblood festivities. The only way that life could be any better for Alana was if Aiden stopped professing to have two left feet and joined her on the dancefloor as a partner.
At Hogwarts, Aiden and Alana both excelled at school work. Whilst other students struggled with fear due to the muggleborns dying and the attacks, the Valentinos remained largely unphased. In fact, Alana was quite intrigued and would often push to the front of the crowd in order to see what had happened.
In her fifth year, Alana became a lot more involved in the duelling scene and in her sixth year, she's become the captain of the Duelling Club. She excels in combat and thrives off of the mental and magical exersion. She's gained a fearsome reputation for such a small Ravenclaw, which she uses to her absolute advantage. She hopes that this will make her a person of interest to the groups she's grown to admire... or covet is probably more accurate.
site events reaction:
- Deaths of the mudbloods - Alana just wishes that she could have seen more. More deaths, but also the ones that did occur in more detail.
- Attack on Hogwarts - when the chaos began, the young Valentino twins were woken from their beds by the loud noises. Alana had crept into Aiden's dorm as she had on many other occasions, whispering curses in Italian about what she would do to whomever woke her up. After her initial cursing, Alana had tried to convince Aiden to leave the bed but the big assino wouldn't move an inch. It was often easy for her to forget how much bigger he was - until he had her pinned down into the bed despite her kicking his shins. In the aftermath, Alana had done her best to get a good sneak-peak of the carnage but Aiden kept her huddled close in his blanket. Another bunch of muggleborns gone. Neither twin lost sleep over the stories of terror.
- Hag's Fever:why couldn't Elena have gotten the Fever? Alana had done her very best to facilitate it... including some very unsavoury things involving the bodily fluids of an elderly lady being purposely transferred to objects used by a middle-aged lady... with no success.
- The Infestation of Ilvermony: The only thing that Alana finds annoying is the grating accents and try-hard "purebloods". She's met half-bloods with better ancestry than them. Pretending not to understand American seems to be getting her through the semester so far.
