Appearance
As far as physical appearances go, Alyana tends to give off vibes of a normal, average girl, more or less. While it may not entirely seem like it upon first glance, she holds a good deal of hidden muscle beneath her skin, making her capable of packing a surprisingly hard and harsh punch whenever needed, and such strength has been made possible by her parents, who are each a Free Rider and a member of the military alike as they passed down whatever skills were necessary for survival down to her when she became of appropriate age. In regards to facial and generally first-seen features, she inherited an even balance between both of her parents. With eyes of a bright, amber radiance, as well as long, softer, and black-hued hair, she takes features from both her father and her mother, respectively. Her general skin tone - a light, vaguely cream-colored hue - is influenced more by her mother, while her overall height is a result of both her parents as she stands at five foot six and weighs in at a rough yet constant average of one hundred and thirty-two pounds. Due to a couple of minor sparring accidents with her mother and father, as well as a few rocky incidents that she experienced during her earlier years in beast taming, she has a few scars across her hands, though the most prominent would be a decent-sized knick on her left cheekbone.
For her normal clothing style, she tends to display a lightly-layered attire. For a first layer upon the upper body, she often wears a cropped, white tank top shirt with a black, vested shirt vaguely representing of a coatee over it. For the lower body, she will often wear a pair of shorter shorts, alongside stockings that remain beneath the fabric of said shorts, as well as a pair of heeled shoes. A black arm warmer would also be seen spanning across the skin of her left arm, and a black scarf would be seen wrapped around her neck, too.
As an alternative to her normal choice of attire, however, she can also have an equal chance of being spotted wearing another croptop as a first layer- though this one black, rather than the normal white. Over this would be a white, collared coat that maintains a tail long enough to extend all the day down, barely refraining from touching the ground whenever she stands straight. She would sport a pair of black, leather-composed pants that are held up by a white belt. Said pants would have faint emroideries of gold threads, and would be covered for the most part by a pair of thigh-high heeled boots. Much like the pants seen within this attire, her boots are also lined with faint traces of gold-hued thread.
In terms of accessories, she often doesn’t wear too many, but her main, defining accessory would likely be a small, black bow that she often wears on her head. Alongside this, she can often be seen with a sword clipped to her belt, as well as a crossbow slung across her back, whenever she ventures out into the wilderness, or possibly even accompanies her mother and father on missions away from her beast taming center in Velderoth.
Personality
To the unwary and passing eye, Alyana is nothing more than a quiet and sometimes blunt girl who tends to be more of a down-to-earth and straight-to-the-point type of person, though truthfully does have a sense of witty humor and open kindness, much to the surprise of many acquaintances of hers. Often times, she can be seen waiting by the counter of the taming center passed down to her by her father, reading a book at her seat or occupying herself with some other, quiet activity- all while being seemingly absorbed within said activity for the most part. When asked a question, she is the type to give no more than the answer that a person had been aiming to get, unless they themselves had specifically requested for any more information past that- and, even then, she likely wouldn’t find it necessary to keep an ongoing conversation unless the person talking to her made it obvious that they were interested in a conversation.
By then, she’d know full well and would simply talk on with a couple of sly, yet joking remarks, but still.
Should a person manage to become more acquainted with her, however, they would easily discover that there’s much more to her when he doesn’t have her nose buried within one of her favorite books. They would almost instantly experience her kind and carefree nature on a stronger level, as well as a possibly higher level of joking sarcasm, too. Contrasting vastly from her initial image, they would also discover that she has quite a mouth on her in terms of language and volume alike, which would probably only serve to further surprise a person in regards of her true demeanor when she grows more comfortable with another person.
Should they even become close enough for her to be willing to show them her home - basically the second floor to her beast taming center - there would also be a fair chance that they discover how much of a family person she truly is. Although her parents aren't around as often as she wishes they could be, there's still one other person that remains constant around their home other that herself: her younger brother, Randall. Many times, she plays around with seven-year-old Randall at her own leisure, many times with a bright, joking smile as she and her brother go back and forth in teasing each other and chasing one another around. On some days, even her customers themselves may even be able to bear witness to such events when Randall makes the occasional appearance on the first floor of the center, goofing around in between times where he helps his elder sister around the facilities.
History
Born within the transition between late winter and early spring, Alyana Zenith is the first child to a married couple known for their deeds as a military soldier and a Free Rider - each named River Zenith and Faye Zenith respectively - and is also the elder sister to Randall Zenith by an extended age gap of roughly fifteen years or so. Having displayed a high affinity with animals, as well as the capability to tame most with relative ease during her early teenage years, she grew up to become a Tamer to her home realm of Velderoth, initially introduced and guided through the occupation within her earlier years by River himself, back before he had become more involved within his life as a Velderoth soldier.
During her childhood, she often spent time with her father, as he had initially been a fellow Tamer before signing up for the military. Because of the time that she spent with him, they often accompanied Faye during her free time in order to explore the nearby forests and wilderness of Velderoth, as well as the other realms. While Faye herself was likely handling details and the active participation of select hunting and general requests alike, River and Alyana often weren’t too distanced from her as they scouted out for various beasts to test their skills on. Many times, Faye would return to see River intensely laughing at Alyana as she was chased around by a smaller, harmless creature due to a failed attempt at luring it in- or perhaps even vice versa, during the occasions where River decided to purposely mess up in order to humor his daughter. Such routines had remained constant throughout the years, up until the time where she turned fifteen and, as was earlier stated, River signed up to take part within the Velderoth military.
Around the same, general time, Randall had been born, too. With her father a bit more occupied, Faye decreased her own, normal activities as a Free Rider in order to take care of her children. In her husband’s stead, she would take over the occasional taming lessons that River had taken Alyana out on, and even taught Randall a couple of things, as well, when he was of an appropriate age to begin doing so. Every so often, their father would have been able to spend extended amounts of time with the rest of his family; time that was often spent spoiling the kids as he and the rest of his family took off to another realm for a momentary vacation spree.
Three years after his involvement with the military, and soon after Alyana’s eighteenth birthday, River had officially passed ownership of the taming center that he himself had started and maintained when he still lived as a full-time Tamer. Although young at the time, she accepted the business that her father had given to her with high hopes, almost immediately falling into a smooth routine at the taming center for sake of making her father proud. Currently void of any substantial hardships and losses within her life thus far, she continues taking care of Randall within her parents’ stead whenever both are a bit busier with work. The two currently live within the second floor of the main building of the taming center that she manages, and such is the location where she takes care of the animals that she has managed to capture and domesticate for others.
