Biography

Very little is known about Alaina's birth parents, or what her station might have been, and this is something that has stayed with her throughout her life. What she does remember are flashes, vague scraps of memories of a happy life somewhere green and a woman with red hair.

Her earliest firm memories are of being a slave. She can remember waking up in shackles on board a strange ship; the heaving of a storm and the smell of salt in the air and the sound of sobbing children. Without going into detail, suffice to say that her 'owners' were not kind, and those memories never fail to fill her with a grim, murderous hatred. Luck struck unexpectedly, though, as their ship reached the Isle of Gloomy Jungles. Her 'owners' managed to get on the wrong side of a merchant without a conscience who saw no issue with slipping something lethal into their wine.

While the death of the slavers could have ended badly, her luck held and all of the children were instead freed, given over to the inns and brothels to work in exchange for room and board. By the time she reached the age for Courtesan's work, she had already learned to read, write and handle the book keeping for the Madam. The Madam took a keen interest in the bright young woman, and taught her much about business, politics, and intrigue.

When she turned 16, the Madam became gravely ill. Having come to care deeply for the woman, she cared for her and ran the brothel. The local apothecary, a regular client and friend, helped her care for the Madam, and continued her education. The man became her second dear friend and mentor, allowing her to pour through his books and answering questions when asked. Soon, she was making cosmetics for herself and the other women of the brothel. Thanks in part to her efforts, the business at the brothel grew, and with it, her fortunes and those of the women that worked there.


By her 18th birthday, she had all but taken over the brothel for the Madam. Not only was she running the brothel, but she was also a successful Mistress in her own right, picking and choosing her clients from the affluent and influential. Her primary choices were business men, and she used her charms, earnings, and wits to get them to agree to some rather scandalous business deals that made her very wealthy.

Impressed with her acumen, the Madam further invested in her successor. Having trained Alaina for more than a decade, The Madam used her connections to find tutors suitable for training Alaina the rest of the way. For nearly 3 years her life, when not dominated by business matters, consisted of lessons day in and day out. Ever the quick study, Alaina put those skills to use immediately, increasing her skills with her customers, charming her way into the hearts of men and women alike. Her renown as a courtesan and business woman grew, and by her 23rd birthday, she was a well established fixture in paradise.

Personality and Appearance

Businesslike - When the situation calls for it, her demeanor can change to one of a brisk business woman. Driven and attentive to details, she is as cold and calculating with business deals as a butcher is towards a side of beef.

Charming - Her line of work requires more than just a lovely body. One of the things that separates her from other courtesans is her understanding of what makes people tick, and she uses that to charm her way into or out of any situation.

Fierce - While she primarily keeps her passions tightly restrained, many have taken it to mean that she is lacking them. For those unfortunate enough to inflame her passions in a negative way, they quickly learn that her seeming lack of passion is simply a lens that gives her laser like focus, cutting through all delicacy and scorching her enemies to ash.

Loyal - Her loyalty is hard to win, but once given, it is unbreakable.

Free Spirited - A caged bird does not sing, but this bird, if caged, is likely to pluck out your eyes. Owing to her experiences at the hands of slavers in her youth, she is fiercely independent and free-spirited. Freedom is one thing she will not hesitate to kill for.
