-Robin Hood: Men In Tights[/center]

.:Look:. Aliana’s skin if fair and light, with a natural rosy blush on her cheeks. Her large eyes are lightly colored, framed with curled long eye lashed, and bordered at the top are arched eyebrows. Her dark brown hair is waved as if falls past her shoulders; she tries to give it a neat appearance often styling it in different ways, if time permits her to do so. She is petite, though has a slightly wide frame, rendering her with a curvy body rather than an overly thin one. Her attire is a bit fancier then a normal servants as her mistress pays her well, and her father is a merchant who manages to afford rather fine cloth. With this combination, her style of dress is more noticeable for a made, but of course not extravagant to mistake her for nobility or anyone of the sort. When she is in disguise, she covers herself head to toe. She wears dull, dark colors to help her camouflage in the darkness and draw less attention to her. She wears a mask over the lower portion of her face, and covers her hair, hands, and every inch of her so that she is virtually unrecognizable.

Lady Marian: Why, you speak treason!

-Adventures Of Robin Hood (1938)[/center]

.:Basic Personality:. Aliana is a timid woman. She is not overly bold, nor is she strongly opinionated, at least not among those she is expected to respect. She is meek, shy, and can be a bit naïve at times. She is optimistic, often offering comfort and advice to others who ask it. She does not like to draw much attention to herself and prefers to blend into the background rather be in the spotlight. This is mostly so that she is not discovered, but even so, she has never been the kind of woman to love attention. She is a hard worker taking her job as a maid very seriously.

She is also an emotional woman, often making no secret of them which makes it easy for her to tear up in front of others when she is upset. She is kind and generous, strongly sympathizing with others and does what she can to help. She enjoys the comfort and stability her job and family provides her with, but at the same time, is willing to take risks to aid others for her deep care for those less fortunate compels her to do so.

Robin Hood: I'm going to show him what an outlaw is and what an outlaw does!

.:Alliance:. To the people
.:Rank:. Merchant’s daughter and maid in the castle; she is not rich enough to be considered upper class, but richer than the lower class people.
.:Wanted For:. Her alias is wanted for stealing.
.: Special Skills:. She is very sneaky and quick. This enables her to successfully steal what she can from the castle to distribute to the poor. Of course she cannot steal things that will be noticed if missing, but more so, a couple loaves of bread or food. Sometimes a few coins if she can manage to get them and run away before caught. Another skill she possesses is sewing, making her an excellent seamstress as she stitches all her own clothing.
.:Weapon Training:. None really. She has tried to look intimidating with a sword but often fails. The only thing that enables her to elude the guards is her ability to run very fast.

Robin of Loxley: Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten.
-Robin Of Sherwood (1984)[/size][/center]

.:Birthplace:. Nottinghamshire
.:Family:. Leon: father, Mary: mother
.:History:. Aliana was born into a small, quaint, family. They were not rich, but more well off than the lower class. Her mother had worked has a personal maid to Vivian of Locksley estate and the two had become close friends. When she married Leon however, getting pregnant not too long after, she decided to leave her job to devote herself to her family. This tie however was not at all broken. Aliana grew up with luxuries that other peasants and lower class were deprived of, though she was not at all blind to this. She appreciated what she had, but did not mind giving what she could. In fact, she was a bit too generous at times for it pained her to see the suffering of others. She did what little things she could, but knew it was nowhere near enough.

Other than this cause of tears at times, Aliana’s childhood was a fairly happy one. She got along with most others and was a well loved child as she was the only one in her family. It was not until she was twelve years old that tragedy struck her family. Her mother became severely ill, and it took only a few months for her illness to claim her life. This devastation broken Aliana and her father a great deal and yet drew the two of them closer together. Lady Vivian however showed kindness on her family and offered her company whenever Aliana wished. In these ways, Vivian became a mother figure in Aliana’s life and saved the young girl from severe depression. Furthermore, she wished to keep herself busy and her mind distracted so began looking for work. Not for the money, but more so for something to occupy her time with. Vivian almost immediately offered a job as her personal maid, the job that her mother once had, and Aliana was all too happy to accept.

She transitioned into her job with extreme ease, and found comfort and solace in spending her time fulfilling her duties and in the company of the lady Vivian. Things would not remain peaceful however. When war broke out, and Vivian’s son felt the obligation to join the king, a new wave of sadness spread through the Locksley Estate. It was nowhere in comparison to what happened in Robin’s absence. When his father mysteriously died one knight, the pain of losing a loved one was experienced by Vivian and her daughter, as well as Robin upon his return. The lands were temporarily taken in control by Gysbourne and because Vivian and Evelyn were required to move to stay with the Sheriff, Aliana joined them and her father obtained a new house closer to where she would reside.

Things continued to take a turn for the worse. Robin’s return brought with it conflict, as him and the Sheriff clearly had opposing views. Robin was a man that Aliana believed only to be a bully, as she had seen the way he worked as she grew up, but in some ways, she secretly approved of his evident disagreement with the sheriff, for she too felt her views opposed the man who now had control. Of course, she was far too afraid to admit anything, so would continue to serve her mistress and ensure the safety of her and her father. Amongst his provoking of the Sheriff, Aliana began to be a woman of more action rather than a bystander. It started with casually sneaking out some food to the poor, suffering people, trying to be as discreet as she could. Which really, the only way to do was steal the food in the middle of the night and then anonymously leave it at the people’s homes or feet, as many were homeless. This gave her a sense of satisfaction, though she was aware it was not nearly enough. Little did she know that the man who she saw as a bully, would later become her inspiration.

Eventually, Robin was outlawed, and this gave Aliana a new opinion of him. He had retaliated for something that many were too afraid to stand up for and she admired him in a way. This admiration only grew when he began to somewhat help the people. She then decided on what she needed to do, and that was take things to a whole new level. She began to venture out of the castle in full disguise, distributing what she could, such as food or a few coins and such. It was not much, but enough for the people to create a name for this mysterious figure: The MysticGuardian.
