Abilities|

Illusions| The power to make others see, hear, smell, taste or feel things that are not real. Works on the mind. Limitations: ineffective on psychic shields unless they are weaker than herself. Limited effectiveness on those with heightened senses, as they might be able to perceive flaws in the illusion and realize it is not real. Requires knowledge of what illusion she is making, and concentration to make and maintain it. Small illusions require less concentration than bigger ones.

Flight

Healing | The power to heal others of their wounds. Limitations: cannot 'heal' death. Draining to user, depending on the severity of the wound. Requires concentration and time. The older the wound, the more difficult it is to heal. Does not work on the self.

Shadows| Can manipulate existing shadows to form or dispel shields, areas of complete darkness, create constructs and weapons. Limitations: Especially ineffective against light manipulation abilities, though can overpower them under the right circumstances. Power is corrupting. Requires strong will and appropriate use to avoid becoming evil.

Dark Flames| Power of dark flames, similar to fire manipulation. Limitations: extremely difficult to control. Nearly impossible to put out. User must have absolute control in order to put out the flames. Vulnerable to certain types of water manipulation abilities. Someone with better control over dark flames may be able to take those of user and turn them back on them.

Shapeshifting| The ability to change one's shape, down to a cellular level. Limitations: requires knowledge of form she wishes to take. Can change to other people (humans, fae, elves or demons) or animals. Does not 'inherit' the memories of those she takes the form of. Cannot become objects.

Lunar Manipulation| User can create, shape and manipulate all aspects of a moon/moons, including its gravity and the effects it has on the planet, reflective surface, time-keeping, etc. and use its lunar energy. Given that it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moons prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day. The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of Earth, causes it to appear almost the same size in the sky as the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipses.

Class|

Queen of the Fae

History|

Alletta was born to the noble dark Fae family of Faolán, their only child and last descendent. Her mother nearly died giving birth, and the healers said there would be no more children, the process having damaged Lady Faolán's womb too much – she was always a fragile faery. The lord and lady loved their daughter very much, doting on her – anything she wished for would be hers, if it was in their power to give. Somehow, the faery did not grow up spoiled – a nearly uneventful, but happy childhood. She spent those early years at court with her mother and father, playing with the other Fae children – even the princes – and developed a special bond with the second and mostly likely to take the throne, Kheelan. They were often together and, in the way of the fantasies of children, planned to marry one day. Before those fantasies could shift from childish play to adult reality, however, Lady Faolán's health took a turn for the worse, and the small family left court for the more peaceful countryside (truly, moving closer to the heart of the Ironwood) in hopes of preserving what remained of Alletta's mother's life.

Away from the stress of the palace and courtier's town (and close to the undiluted power of the Ironwood's heart), Lady Faolán's condition improved, and she lasted several more years before succumbing to the wasting disease that had plagued her since Alletta's birth. The two remaining Faoláns grieved deeply for her loss, remaining in the secluded countryside for several years to properly mourn. When they were finally ready to return to court, Alletta's father deemed it too dangerous – the old king was dead, and the Fae's enemies saw it as a perfect time to attack. There was war and death and trouble, and Lord Faolán kept himself and his daughter well away from it – he had served his time in the wars before, and now his only duty was to protect his heir and only child, Alletta.

It wasn't until years after the wars had finally died down and peace (of a sort) had returned to the Ironwood that Alletta was able to convince her father to return to court – she loved their secluded home, but it was time to be around other Fae again. Once back at court though, Alletta felt deeply out of her element – the children she had once played with were grown and very different from how they had once been. It was difficult to find her place amongst those people, but finally, Alletta found one she could be herself with – the new king, Kheelan, her once childhood friend. Falling in love with him all over again, though this time with a fully adult mind and heart, Alletta hoped he knew she wasn't like the other faeries who fawned over him. She didn't want to be the next queen of the Fae – she simply wanted to be Kheelan's wife, to love and be loved by him. Her heart was light when it seemed the king felt the same about her, and the time they spent together sparked rumours of proposal and marriage. It seemed her future would be filled with happiness.

Personality|

Alletta is a genuinely goodhearted person. She is helpful, kind, and selfless to a degree that's outright motherly. Even to those who are rude to her, Alletta only returns their tactlessness with the utmost respect she gives everyone else, and refuses to treat anyone unfairly. She's very understanding and is never seen resorting to anger or blame and instead displays an industrious and magnetic personality that can solve problems with ease. However, in the midst of solving everyone else's problems, Alletta usually forgets to solve her own. It's easy for her to stress herself out trying to help everyone else so badly that she neglects herself and her own problems.

Weapons|

She personally doesn't like to use any weapons but if she must she would wield a sword
