Ali Alighieri, child of Rosemary Alighieri, is one of three triplets, as is often the case with such things. They were born in, and have spent their entire life in Wraithbrook, in the Maritimes.

They live reasonably within their means, aided by a tight-knit community. Wraithbrook is of course, a bit strange, being full of monsters and all, but you aren't supposed to know that.

Being half-demon (on their other mother's side), the triplets have a natural aptitude for magic, though they still have to learn it like everyone else. However, it seems their demonic heritage lends them some extra powers. The most obvious, and shared between the three, is the ability to subtly shapeshift between phenotypic sexes at will, though it takes some time. This kind of power is a rather logical one, being that they are of child of a succubi. The other powers granted seem, stranger, however.

Their constant 3-way telepathy seems to be pretty obviously from the triplet thing, but on an individual level, Ari appears to have some minor control over time in their immediate vicinity, and Avi the same for space. And Ali? Uh, well... Has dominion over nothing, it seems. And not nothing in a cool way, like the void, they just seem to not have a set of powers the same way their siblings do. It's fine, really. You guess.
