Ali Danea
Ali a accepté la boisson qui lui était offerte par le barman. Qu'il s'agisse de Vorel ou de Valasca, elle ne savait pas et elle ne s'en souciait pas non plus. C'était une boisson gratuite et c'était toujours bon tant que l'offrande n'était pas un monstre ou un démon. Il y avait encore des sorcières qui l'inquiétaient, mais elle doutait que n'importe quel de leur genre ait assisté à la fête du bar.
Elle a pris une gorgée, méditant les chansons suggérées. Elle n'était pas particulièrement familière avec "Say My Name" et elle était sûre d'essayer qu'une chanson pourrait finir par causer plus de problèmes qu'elle ne pouvait supporter. La résistance, cependant, était quelque chose qu'elle pensait que son groupe pouvait jouer. Elle a peut-être été chantée par un mâle, mais cela n'avait jamais été un problème auparavant. Les gens ont, après tout, commenté que sa voix et son apparence ont donné un bord masculin.
"La résistance pourrait être bonne. Je vais devoir en discuter avec les autres, mais je ne pense pas qu'ils diront non », répondit-elle en souriant à Vorel. "Bon goût dans la musique."
Elle s'est tournée vers la rousse - Saoirse. Elle ne semblait pas s'entendre bien avec Vorel, et Ali ne pouvait pas s'empêcher de se demander pourquoi. Était-ce simplement à cause d'une mauvaise première réunion? Ou y avait-il plus de tension cachée en dessous? Ali s'est ébranlée la tête. Elle ne pouvait pas divertir des pensées comme ça à une fête, surtout une avec laquelle elle allait se produire.
« Eh bien, l'amour, les jolies dames sont toujours les bienvenues pour partager la scène avec moi », a-t-elle renvoyé en riant avec légèreté au clin d'œil. Saoirse semblait être le genre de personne qu'Ali aimait être dans les parages, mais elle ne comprenait toujours pas l'aversion de la rouquine pour Vorel. Peut-être à un autre moment et à un autre endroit, l'animosité entre eux ne serait pas si élevée.
Elle agita une main en saluant Valesca, dont elle n'entendit l'introduction qu'à cause des sens aigus qui se développaient d'être trop dans les bois. Elle était sur le point de demander à Valesca si elle avait quelque chose à suggérer quand elle a entendu Vorel murmurer quelque chose sous son souffle. Suivant sa ligne de vue, elle a vu la fille solitaire d'avant - Jen, elle se souvient finalement, était un loup-garou comme Vorel - et le gars qui l'avait approchée. Elle ne s'était pas permis de le regarder beaucoup plus tôt, mais maintenant qu'elle l'a fait, il y avait une aura distincte autour de lui. Elle ne savait pas comment l'appeler, mais ça ne pouvait pas être bon.
Elle s'est approchée de Vorel, assez pour pouvoir lui chuchoter dans le bar bondé. "Quelque chose de mal?"

Ali is best described as a person "blooming in the garden of youth", or at least, that's how the elderly folk of Fall Hollow call her when they're in a particularly good mood. It was "damned teenage rascal" when they weren't. Either way, Ali is what you can call a typical teenager with her exhuberant energy and outgoing personality, with just a touch of rebelliousness to spice up the dish. She's the kind of person you'll see in different scenes, chatting with all the right people and effortlessly making friends with anyone she approaches.
Ali's loyalty is fierce and unmatched by anything. For the people who have grown dear to her heart, you can be rest assured that Ali would do anything to help and protect you. Of course, it's also this fierce loyalty that can sometimes give Ali tunnel-vision and make her refrain from hearing the other side of a conflict. Her friends' enemies were her enemies, and nothing could change that in her mind even if her friends had been the ones in the wrong. It must be said that this has gotten Ali into trouble more than once, especially when it turned out that her so-called friends had only been manipulating her to do their every whim. Despite this, Ali has never learned.
Ali is someone you can be assured would always be there for you, even if she can be a tad reckless at times. She always means well and is willing to lend a helping hand with a bright smile.
History:
It was the first of December, in the middle of one of the harshest winters experienced by Fall Hollow, when the youngest of the Danea clan entered the world. Julio Danea, the current patriarch of the household, had held his baby girl and announced that her name would be Crow for he was sure that like the rest of their family, the child's spirit animal would be one that made the sky its home and that she would be the best that their family had ever seen. When Ali's third birthday came and she met her spirit animal during one of the family's usual camping trips, her father couldn't be any more disappointed. Her spirit animal had been a black panther, and not the graceful flyer he had expected. Of course, Ali had been too young then to know what that revelation had done to her relationship with her father.
Continuing her trend of going against the grain in her family's norms, she found that she had no affinity for strategizing. Unlike her father, grandfather, and great grandfather, she knew she would never take the role of advisor in The Masquerade. She had let her brothers be the ones to compete for that position. Her goal had been something more. As the years passed, Ali strengthened her bond with both her spirit animal and the multitude of land-bound creatures she had intently studied. Sure, she had also shifted into some sea creatures, but they didn't feel as comfortable as being on all fours on good, solid land. And so she honed her skills of transformation to the point that she could partially shift a little bit longer than most of the older shifters. Her physical strength wasn't something to be laughed at either. Before she knew it, she became one of the youngest betas in The Masquerade while her brothers had failed in their tasks of joining the gang as its advisor. Pride swelled up in Ali and she had turned to her father hoping to see the same in his eyes, but she found it wanting.
Her relationship with her father remains rocky still and he continues to favour his two sons. He had even refused to let Ali work in the family business, the local animal shelter, which forced Ali to find a part-time job somewhere else. It seemed as though fate continually wanted to wedge an ever bigger gap between Ali and her father as it soon grew apparent that she held a passion for robotics, something that her father has always frowned upon thinking that further technological advancements would push the youth away from nature.
Extra
• She holds a deep hatred for witches as a dear friend of hers, a werewolf, had died in a skirmish between their two gangs.
• She is the lead vocalist of a band she created with her friends in college. They're well-known in Fall Hollow but they only play for fun. Jokingly, they call themselves "Hodgepodge" because each of them are a different species from the other.
• She still regularly goes on camping trips in the forest, sometimes even staying out in the wilderness for weeks.
