Alina Marilayra

Description

For a long time, Alina did not really have a home. Her first memories were of her sister Prescill and her living at an orphanage, her most prominent early memories were of Prescill deciding that the orphanage was bad for them, and that they had to leave. She lived on the streets with her, having to distrust everything around her. Once things got really tough, Prescill wanted to force Alina to do crime, which Alina was terrified about. Her crying and screaming caused Craid to hear the commotion, who decided to take care of the two. Prescill refused, but since Alina had got so terrified of her own sister, she decided to follow the patient man to his home. This could have been a major mistake, but luckily for Alina, Craid only had the best of intentions. At 9 years old, Alina had finally gotten the chance to live a relatively normal life, and so she kept trying.

Alina is timid, shy, and a mess in social situations. She needs a lot of time to get used to new people, and she wished that she didn’t. The bonds that she does make are very strong. She’s very agreeable but is determined to make herself and her opinion heard. Alina likes to solve problems logically, with feelings in the second place. Recently, she has been really trying to involve her heart more in coming up with solutions, which she is getting better at.

Her anxiousness gets in the way often. She is afraid of being observed and even more afraid of being judged. She tends to stutter and act squirmy whenever uncomfortable but tries her best to still be intelligible. Alina is characterized for trying her best against all odds. Some things are harder for her than for most, but she knows that if she pushes through, she gets results from it, her friends have taught her that.

Alina’s past has made her very cautious about people around her. Her ‘new’ warm surroundings, with Craid who deeply cares about her, makes her feel welcome, and she hopes she can do create the same atmosphere for people younger than her.

Alina wants to fight for a better world, and does it in every way she can imagine, in her own little ways, she tries to fix things. Hopefully her job as a detective will make her feel like she has worth.

Will show you her favourite animes whenever she can.

Abilities

Alina isn’t the most physical character. She’s a bit clumsy, however, she has had archery classes and has trained her aim. Alina is skilled in bow wielding. She has also had basic self-defence classes, mandatory for police training, though from all the Friend Force! members, she’s probably the least skilled in fighting.

Alina is great at solving logical conundrums. Her crime solving skills are phenomenal, and she even knows how to code. Aside from that, Alina has the superhuman ability to read people’s lies. Whenever someone lies, her body can sense ‘tells’ from other people. Her body then reacts to it, spiking an anxious feeling. It however becomes hard to determine whether someone lies if Alina is already anxious.

• Chaotic Defender (Chaotic Rhyss! #460-#500): Alina gets captured by the Goddess and is almost killed in the process. Alina takes the conflict better than expected, knowing it was part of working for justice, but is heartbroken by Rhyss leaving her and her friends behind. Alina desperately tries to get Rhyss back home, but eventually gives up, trying to cope with getting in a relationship with Aria. Eventually however, after having a good talk with Aria after breaking up with her, Alina sets up a plan to get Rhyss back. Alina joins Friend Force! with the rest of her friends.

In Germany, Alina helps Abby defend Loud Lass in a legal case. Rhyss apologizes to Alina for leaving the group behind. Alina accepts the apology, at mentions that she’s glad he’s back and found himself.
• End of Minerva/Owl of Minerva: Alina gets assigned to a murder case where her sister Prescill is the culprit. Together with Abby, she is able to pin the murder on her, getting her a prison sentence, which Prescill is genuinely relieved about, being freed from her assassin life. A year later, Alina and Abby find out the mastermind behind Prescill’s assassin group and get them declared guilty in court.
• Oblivaeon/Schism (Chaotic Rhyss! #623-633): As most big heroes are trying to stop Schism and his enforcers, Alina, similarly to the other Friend Force! members, help with the search and rescue. Alina looks out for people stuck under rubble and brings them to safety. At the end, being afraid of the world ending, she confesses her love to Rhyss, who reciprocates those feelings. However, her foster father Craid has apparently been killed during the conflict. Alina will need some time to recover after everything is finished.

Comic Notes (Can be expanded or retconned on whenever):

• Alina is a member of Friend Force!, starting with the subtitle ‘Bashful Bowwielder’. Later she gets an actual alias: Red Whisper. 
• Alina gets adopted by Craid, who’s the best dad she could ever wish for.
• Has a major crush on Rhyss throughout the entire series, but is too scared to outright say it, and her clear hints aren’t getting through to the extremely dense Rhyss.
• One day, Alina gets captured by Ambrose Vicin together with Red. The two bond a little during capture. After being saved by both Craid and Grimm, the two hesitate with fighting each other, and tend to avoid each other in battles altogether.
• At some point, Alina, Derek and Rhyss play a lot of RPG and help out with some trouble the game is having. Alina plays as the ‘Black Witch’ class.
• While Rhyss distances himself from the others by being the Chaotic Defender, Alina gets a relationship with Aria, a girl with music powers. Sadly, when Rhyss returns, Alina understands that her crush has not passed, and she ends her outgoing relationship with Aria.
• Alina appears as one of Gamble’s speed dates. It fails horribly. They both talk about their break-up that they’re not entirely over with, and get their last words in.
• During the Modern Era, she becomes a full-fledged detective.
• Because of this, she is finally able to stop and help Prescill in the ‘Owl of Minerva’ and ‘End of Minerva’ mini-series.
• At the start of Oblivaeon, Alina confesses her true feelings to Rhyss. Rhyss reciprocates those feelings.
• Craid’s death during Oblivaeon has a big effect on her, though with time it makes her stronger as a person, as well as a detective.
