Backstory/Plothooks
Birth-13:

• Alessë was born on the outskirts of Amontaar to an Ailor-Wirtem father and Teled mother. Her mother was a native Amontaaran who ran away from her family and became a merchant, and her father was a former mercenary turned blacksmith who decided to stay in Amontaar and later converted from Unionism to Estelley.
• When Alessë just over a year old, her parents had another daughter, Eyra, who Alessë would develop a bond with.
• Alessë never spent much time with her mother due to her work and as such spent most of her time with her father. Around when Alessë was 9 her father began to teach her blacksmithing, and some combat techniques he used when he was a mercenary.
• When Alessë was 12, her father's health started a rapid deterioration, part of which was when he worked as a mercenary, and soon Alessë had to take up odd jobs to help her family. She also began learning about singing as she loved it above the other arts.
• When Alessë was 13, before her father's death, he told her to never become a mercenary like he did, stating that "The sole purpose of mercenaries' are to prevent a perfect reality from happening.", and how this drove him to convert to Estelley.

14-17:

• After her father's death, Alessë's relationship with her mother deteriorated rapidly due to her becoming more and more reckless with her spending, especially on clothing and wine. This would slowly manifest itself for a disdain for wine, feminine clothing, and later a dislike for femininity itself.
• Alessë began taking up any kind of job she could find, often with her working for a blacksmith.
• When Alessë was 17, her relationship with her mother reached a breaking point. Her mother's spending and bankrupted the family and their future was uncertain now. Alessë and Eyra decided to leave their mother to find their own path and to avoid contacting their mother. Also at this time, Alessë changed her name to Alex Wilhelm, adopting her father's old surname to further distance herself from her mother.
• A few months after leaving, Eyra decided to part ways from Alessë, and become a traveling bard to see more of the world. Eyra thanked Alessë, saying hearing her sing was what made her decide to become a bard.

18-19:

• Alessë spent the first few years of living on her own working as a blacksmith in Amontaar. The pay was okay, but like her sister she too also wanted more. After some thinking Alessë decided to become a mercenary, despite her father's warning, because she figured that the work was not as bad as he made it out to be.

20-28:

• Alessë spent the next 8 years working for a mercenary company that worked across various states around Amontarr. Here she learned more about combat using short blades and medium armor, fighting tactics such as ambushing, being a combat medic, and started to learn Common. At first Alessë thought her father might have been wrong, but as months turned to years she slowly began to realize that her father's words were right.
  
  The brutalities of her, and the company's, actions started taking a toll on her. One night when her company was near Amontaar she decided to desert the company and sold most of her belongings from it to pay for passage to Regalia.

Present:

• Alessë has set foot in Regalia for the first time, and ready to start a new life here. She wants to find purpose in her life, and to reconnect with her Estelley faith after years of neglecting it.

  • Dislikes:
    1. Hypocrisy: After several experiences involving her mother and mercenary company, Alessë has developed a strong disdain for hypocrisy. In Alessë's own words: "You're not only lying to others, but to yourself also."
    2. Wine: Due to all the wine her mother bought, which contributed to her family's financial ruin, Alessë has refused to touch wine in any way for years.
• In-depth personality explanation
  • Externally, at least to the majority of people, Alessë appears to be a stoic. She keeps a blank, neutral, and unemotional expression on her face at all times, and does not seems to be bothered by much. While she doesn't show emotions through facial expressions, her actions and words show her emotions instead to those outside of her circle of trusties. Apart from rare exceptions of expressions from extreme emotions, this is what most people see with Alessë.
    
    Internally and with those Alessë has trust in she is, to be polite, in a severe internal conflict over who she is. She wants to be like her father in every way, but she can never fully get rid of her mother's influences, nor her past as a mercenary. This has manifested itself in a dislike for femininity, which affects nearly everything from her actions to putting unnecessary strains in her relationships with other women. Furthermore, she's also in a constant internal arguing over what the right path to take is.
