Deux semaines d'avance
Alessa a éclaboussé son visage avant de fixer son reflet. Elle a déplacé un long brin de cheveux noirs corbeaux hors de sa ligne de vision et l'a courbé derrière son oreille. Elle était déjà une cible, étant la fille de deux des gangs les plus célèbres d'Amérique, mais était encore plus une cible maintenant que son pouvoir était apparu. Ses lèvres tremblaient et ses yeux se déchiraient, elle se frottait rapidement les yeux avec son coude et empêchait les larmes de couler sur son visage pâle.
Elle est sortie de la salle de bain et est retournée dans sa chambre, en portant sa veste et en ramassant ses sacs. Enfin, elle a récupéré son revolver de sa place dans son tiroir de bureau. Elle a mis le pistolet dans sa poche intérieure, avec quelques cartouches à côté. Elle a traîné dans les couloirs sombres de sa maison, prenant un dernier arrêt dans la chambre de ses parents avant de partir. Ils avaient l'air endormis, la lèvre d'Alessa a frémi une fois de plus. Ils n'étaient pas les meilleurs parents, et ils avaient plus que leur juste part d'arguments, mais ils aimaient, Alessa et elle les aimaient, et c'était tout ce qui comptait. Elle ferma prudemment la porte et fit son chemin hors de la maison et dans les nuits froides brise.
Aujourd'hui
Alessa s'assit à l'arrière du grand camion, étant jeté et rebondi à mesure qu'il roulait le long de la route cahoteuse et en grande partie irréparable. Elle a gardé la tête baissée, ne regardant jamais personne tout au long du voyage. Avant de quitter la maison, elle était une jeune femme bavarde et bavarde, mais elle avait soutenu qu'il était préférable de révéler le moins possible après son départ, ce qui rendait plus difficile pour les gens de retrouver ses parents.
Sa tête tourna pour faire face à la lumière aveuglante de l'ouverture de la porte arrière. Elle se lança pour voir une figure masculine aboyer les ordres et exiger le paiement pour le voyage. Le sourcil d'Alessa sillonné, le paiement n'était pas ce dont elle était ennuyée, c'était le fait qu'elle avait déjà payé pour le voyage qui l'a ennuyée. Elle regardait comme une fille, l'âge d'Alessa murmurait quelque chose à l'homme, il hurlait avec une expression malade qui grandissait sur son visage. Cela n'a fait qu'en colère l'expression d'Alessa.
Soudain, l'un des passagers a réussi à faire pousser des boules et à se tenir debout face à l'homme, seulement pour être confronté à la menace de la violence au moyen d'un fusil de chasse. Alessa a fermé les yeux. Elle ne devrait pas intervenir, ce n'était pas son problème, juste laisser le gars à son destin. Mais ce n'est pas comme ça qu'elle a été élevée. Peu importe le nombre de personnes que ses parents ont extorquées ou battues, ils l'ont toujours fait avec un semblant d'honneur ou de bonne intention. Elle s'est levée de son siège alors que l'agresseur armé se tournait en face, Guy. Elle a atteint sa poche, se faufilant derrière les deux hommes avant de lui arracher le bras, le revolver en main et de fouetter le tireur à l'arrière de la tête, l'envoyant tomber au sol inconscient. Elle a pointé l'arme sur la tête des autres hommes, tirant la gâchette vers le bas avec son pouce.
"Lâche-le ou je peins à l'intérieur de ce van une nouvelle nuance de rouge." Elle menaçait, maintenant, de saisir l'arme avec deux mains plutôt qu'une.

Power:
Alessa's power is to travel through and make things travel through reflections. For example, she could travel through a mirror, no matter how small, and to another mirror in a location that she knows about. Along with this, she can travel through things like reflections in water and eyes. This allows her to do things like chuck a stone through a mirror and have it come out of a pool of water.
What gave you your power?:
Her vanity combined where her yearning to be elsewhere at many points in her life combined to give her the power. Her power first showed itself after a rather heated argument between her parents was going on as, Alessa put on her makeup. She fell through her mirror and came out through the one in her bathroom. Suffice to say, she was shocked. 
Personality:
The first thing most people notice about, Alessa is her outgoingness combined with her stubbornness. She's happily talk to anyone, as long as they weren't some weirdo, but it's extremely hard to convince her of an opinion that isn't her own, and even harder to stop her talking when she gets on the topic of something she likes. A risk taker, Alessa is quite brave and courageous when it comes to danger, having been in far too many dangerous situations for a girl her age in the first place.
Bio: What did you do for a living, what do you want us to know about your history, etc.
Alessa was born on a snowy night in the middle of December in Naples, Italy. To understand her story, you must first understand her parents' story. Her father was the son of an Italian mobster, and had taken the reigns for the American side of the operation at the young age of 19. His father had arranged for a marriage with him and the daughter of a Triad gang boss. While the two fathers were ecstatic about the concept of joining the gangs and conquering America together, the children were less than pleased. There was little to no chemistry between them and Alessa's mother was pretty sure that her husband was gay for a large part of the start of the marriage.
They got on as well as they could, and eventually gave birth to, Alessa. Her early life was as sheltered as possible. She was home schooled by hand picked teachers and any friends she made were vetted and threatened with violence if any arguments broke out between them and Alessa. Because of this, she didn't keep many friends very long. Her one lifelong friend was her main teacher, a man by the name of, Tony. Tony was a former home economics teacher who had gotten a place within the mafia after accidentally saving the life of one of the higher up members children. He subsequently quit teaching and became the right hand man to, Alessa's father.
He taught her practically everything she knew, taking teaching duties not only for home economics but also for English, Maths and French. He quickly became her best friend, incorporating fun into his lessons along with all the knowledge needed.
Her sheltered streak came to an end with her teens though, as a more rebellious attitude emerged along with a longing for more human interaction than that with her family and their friends. She practically forced her parents to allow her to be enrolled in school, a private one of course. Upon arrival, she realized she wasn't exactly on the same wave length as many of the other girls. While most girls childhoods were filled with playing with barbies and styling their hair, Alessa's childhood was filled with learning how to fire guns and protect herself in a fire fight. Luckily enough for her, she was taken under the wing of one of the more popular girls, who in turn taught her the meaning of vanity and transformed Alessa from a tomboy into a regular, slightly vain girl.
Her time at school was cut short after a rival gang threatened to shoot it up after, Alessa's father tried to expand his territory. From then on she only went to school for one or two days a week, and the rest of the week was spent in home schooling.
