ALLEGRA

[RHAPSIE !]

NAME. Allegra, nicknames include Al and Ally.
GENDER. Female.
AGE. Three.
CLASS. Serf.
MONARCHY. Eastern Monarchy.

VOICE. Heather Morris (Brittany from Glee).
GAIT. Smooth, steady, she's a bit clumsy so she might trip over things that others can easily avoid, but in an attempt to look graceful she'll quickly regain her composure and pretend nothing happened.

SECRETS. She knows what happened to her little brother - or she thinks she does, she's been tricked to believe that that's what happened - and she hasn't told anyone out of fear of the consequences.
DREAMS. She dreams of one day finding a tom that won't just 'love her and leave her' as she calls it, and if a tom ever showed any more interest in her than just wanting a leg over, she'd stop being so promiscuous.
Getting a class upgrade, and being a Baron. Noble would do just fine too, though.
FEARS. Losing Noelle, or Noelle calling her stupid.
Her brother haunting her dreams and blaming her for what happened to him.

SOCIAL HISTORY. Noelle, her best friend, and Corazon, her mother.
QUESTIONS. 'Why do I act so stupid sometimes?' and 'Why did it happen to my brother and not me?'

APPEARANCE. Being a seal-point Siamese - well, she's not purebred but she's as close as she can get considering she's a god-knows-how-many-gen feral cat - Allegra is long, lean, slender and generally attractive. What she lacks in fluff she makes up for with her striking blue eyes, which look even brighter and bluer because the dark brown fur on her face make them look more striking. She has the general appearance of a Siamese, with a long and relatively thin tail - not bushy like some other cats - and her fur is short and generally smooth, making her look lithe and rather slender. Allegra is tall and willowy compared to her best friend Noelle, but not to the extent where she looks like a giant compared to her. Still rather young when taking the whole population of Narcomancy into consideration, Allegra doesn't have many scars, but those she does have are hidden by her sleek cream and dark brown pelt. It's not that she is ashamed of her scars, but what's the point in showing them off, especially when her scars aren't her most attractive feature.

PERSONALITY. Initially, Allegra can be seen as malicious and manipulative, especially when around Noelle. However, this can be blamed on her best friends stronger influence, as all Allegra wants to do is be like her and impress her. When she gets to know others, however, she is generally a kind, generous and caring person, although exceptionally naive and innocent to the point of being considered 'stupid'. It's wise not to call her that, though, as she's rather sensitive to the word and when she gets upset, Noelle - her protective best friend - gets mad. Really mad. Any form of cruelty she expresses tends to be because of her more mean-spirited best friend, as she's rather easy to influence.

Her default personality is far more kind and sympathetic than she may first seem, and she tends to be the one to extend the paw of friendship to those that may not have that much kindness shown to them. While she has been known to be rather promiscuous at times, and she doesn't hesitate in flirting and messing around with toms, Allegra has an innocent and fragile demeanor. She depends on the guidance of others, mainly Noelle. She has an aversion to violence, especially when it comes to Noelle, and if anyone attempts to hurt her, Allegra will defend her fiercely. Allegra speaks as if she doesn't possess a mental filter, and often says things that most others would simply keep quiet, and passing thoughts often tend to escape her mouth without her being aware of it. She isn't oblivious to the fact that she's gullible and naive, and would happily admit it herself, showing that she has a good sense of humour, but she doesn't tolerate being called the word 'stupid' and will stick up for herself if she's being taunted, and will most likely become angry at them, showing an aggressive side that doesn't often emerge.

HISTORY. Allegra had a relatively plain childhood. She is a serf, born to serfs, and most of her family - both close and extended - are serfs. She accepted her rank at an early age, as she didn't know any other way of life. There were the serfs and then there were the nobles, the oppressors. Anyone higher ranking than that didn't really matter to her as the barons and council didn't have much contact with the serfs anyway. Not to her knowledge, anyway, she didn't have much experience with politics, nor does she now. She was relatively sheltered, her mother Corazon being rather protective of her and her younger brother, Carlisle. Her father, Kizo, wasn't around much, working for the nobles mainly, any other reasons he had went unexpressed in front of the kittens, for Corazon's ears - or eyes - only. The two kittens were too innocent to suspect adultery, but their mother did, and eventually it was proven. Kizo left when the 'kittens' weren't really kittens any more at all, a few months after their first birthday. Corazon was heartbroken, but she soldiered on, for the family's sake. It was at this point when Carlisle and Allegra took on tasks as well, to help their mother and earn their keep.

It was around this chapter of their lives when disaster struck.

One day, Carlisle and Allegra were out in the forest, hunting for supper. Corazon normally took the task on herself - being an exceptional hunter, despite the affects of aging starting to set in - but on that particular day she wasn't feeling too well, so her children decided to help her out. The pair set off along the river, and it was then that they were ambushed by a large tom, it was never proven if it was a vagrant or a member of the Western Monarchy. In a final act of love for his sister, he saved her by pushing the tom into the river, with such force that he fell in also. The current was too strong for either of the toms to haul themselves onto land, and Carlisle knew this. Allegra tried to help her brother, but it was too late, and the pair got swept downstream, Allegra following them until they came to the waterfall. After that.. well, their fate was obvious. The she-cat rushed down to where the bodies lay, washed up on the shore, and she lay next to her brother's body for hours, sobbing. Finally, when night fell, she made her way home, shaken and damp from clinging to her siblings wet fur in grief. The story to her mother was that he had fallen in and drowned, simply because she was too ashamed because she hadn't fought the tom like her brother did. Feeling inadequate and guilty, she kept the secret, and when her mother died six months later, Allegra felt like she was at breaking point.

Thankfully, she had her dear friend Noelle, her closest friend from childhood. She hadn't even told her what really happened. The pair hadn't been that close when they were kits, but now older, they seemed to fit together far more easily, Noelle taking a liking to Allegra and becoming fiercely protective. Missing her sibling so much, Allegra began to see Noelle as an older sister, and now they are inseparable. Anywhere Noelle is, Allegra is sure to follow.
