Mental characteristics
Personal history
Switched as an infant, Alea was unknowingly a hidden fay child in place of a human child.
At around the age of ten, The Great Veil fell, meaning that all glamours hiding the fay among humans faded, and Alea's skin and hair color changed, in addition to her ears now ending in pointy tips.
When Alea was revealed as a Fay and not their human child, they thought they had nurtured, they disowned her and left her on the curb of an orphanage.
She found a place, with the fellow Fey Folk and Changelings of Garden City, and got to live in Evergreen, where she has lived until the begining of her saga.

Sexuality
Alea is mostly straight.
Education
She has followed normal school until The Unravelling of the Veil, and she has been schooled by The Elders of Evergreen at Evergreen since then, focusing more on wildlife and everyday skills.
Employment
When Alea was 18, she joined a new delivery company started by an Àlf for the sake of delivering products to and from the fay community, but they do normal deliveries too. All their workers are Changelings and Fey Folk.
Alea enjoys feeling "normal", and is very happy having a real job, in that regard. Her delivery route partner is Iolani.

Mental Trauma
Being a child of abandonment has left Alea afraid of rejection - always expecting to be thrown aside by others.
She avoids emotional intimacy in the belief that she then has the upper hand and won't be hurt when people inevitably breaks her trust.
She sports a demeanor of always being collected and in control, as she is afraid to show vulnerability, thinking that others will take advantage of it.
Confronted with injustice and unfairness, Alea becomes incredibly angry, and has to be talked down by her friends not to do anything rash.

Morality & Philosophy
Alea tries to keep to herself and not "rock the boat". She is not politically engaged, but when her fellow people are treated unfairly, she get very passionate about it. She very cares much about her people.
Alea will go through heaven and hell for those close to her, even though she believes that they all should make sure to be capable of defending themselves.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Alea desires to be unremarkable. She wants to be any other natural woman doing normal person stuff, but never at the expence of her fellow Changelings.
She is most motivated by her community, their well-being and their safety, which she will go far to protect (and might have to too).

Savvies & Ineptitudes
She spends a lot of time running track, and does some amateur kickboxing.
Virtues & Personality perks
Her willingness to take up the fight, when needed - even against a formidable opponent - is commendable.
Vices & Personality flaws
When her friends are not around to talk her down, her anger puts her in some regrettable pickles.
Due to her abandonment issues, she has a hard time opening up for romance, believing they will leave her as soon as she lets her guard down.
She tends to avoid getting to know the younger changelings, because she is afraid of losing them, when they become true Fey Folk.

When Mia underwent the Sigrblót and ran off, Alea lost an important support pillar in her life, and her mind often wanders to Mia, with Mia being the main reason, Alea is afraid of the Sigrblót.
Sometimes when I dream, I'm back standing out there in the cold, my red hair getting heavy with rain, standing in front of an unknown door that I know holds my future inside.
Frightened and conflicted, I open the door just to I wake up sweating in my bed, and I have to calm myself - remind myself that things worked out.
That I'm safe.
