"Close but no cigar". Valamir will often join his master in a fight History: Moved around with her parents until she was 12, finally settled in Rome. Was a freshman in high school at this time, due to the fact of being schooled year round at home. Came home one evening and opened her door, instead of entering her house, she was thrown back by an explosion that put her in a coma-like state for six and-a-half months. She was in the hospital until a week before her thirteenth birthday, at which time custody was surrendered to her Aunt- a pretentious ostrich of a woman. A kind police officer wrote her a letter and sent it to her aunt's house in Venice. He informed her that a very small, but powerful, bomb had been planted in her house and absolutely nothing survived, not even her fish. She took the news well, all things considered. Aunt Babette enrolled her in a boarding school called Twelve Oaks until she graduated at the age of 16. Her Aunt gave her a dog, an Alsatian, in celebration of their terminated relationship. Aunt Babette's custody was terminated once Arlena graduated from high school. Arlena disappeared after that, though she still stayed in Rome. She sold her paintings and lived a comfortable life, until she was 18 and Aunt Babette died. Her Aunt had a very large insurance policy, being the only heir possible Arlena inherited everything. She sold the estate put everything in three or four Swiss accounts. (Bless the unprying Swiss) She moved to Japan, where no one she new would ever look for her. It was there she literally ran into a stranger. Her wallet was discovered missing later that day and she knew who had taken it... obviously the person she had slammed into. Later it turned out that this person was Schuldig. She didn't know it at the time, but when she starting killing others for freelance work (not for the money, just because she was really bored and had nothing better to do), Schuldig and others knew. She spent a year learning tactics and as many languages as she could. This was the year she met Yulian, and the year of his death. She met him on the job one night. They saw each other for a long period, before he proposed. She accepted, but the next day she went to his house to find it utterly destroyed. Because she was his fiancé the police let her know there had been an explosion of unknown origin. Her pain led her to make many obviously stupid choices. Obviously. Personality: Calm, quiet, levelheaded, friendly with those she knows, tolerant of those she doesn't, very determined (or downright stubborn) once set to task. Follows orders without question, most of the time. Sometimes-for no apparent reason- she will disobey orders and generally cause mayhem. Usually is in control of herself and can avoid going off on one of her rebellious kicks. Somewhat of a loner, not 'full-time' though. Good listener, tries to help those she knows hurt (even though she is an assassin). Secretly she feels pity for most people and wishes to comfort them, but would not dare. She does have a lack of self-confidence, but covers it with work or silence (very convenient). Skills: Was trained from childhood to utilize her musical talent. Her parents tried to capitalize on her ability to pick up any instrument and be able to play it (prefers the cello and the piano). She also has a talent for photography and painting. Practices breaking and-entering in her spare time... (he he) Outlook on Life: "Never waste a moment of life, you don't know how long it'll last or how long it will take before I am ordered to come and take it." Likes: Alcohol (even though she's under age), Valamir, working, literature, most forms of art, listening to others (purely for the sake of helping or simply listening), strong coffee and good tea, a peaceful moment, twilight and the moment before dawn, cold weather. Dislikes: pretentious or sanctimonious people, liars, animal cruelty (as any pet owner would), losing, sudden, loud or high pitched noises, children (evil little monsters) Quirks: Has a habit of ignoring people when they become a little too enthused or rude. Doesn't stop Valamir from attacking someone when he thinks she's in danger, even if she's really not. Sees self as: (depends on what day you find her) a struggling repentant human being, worthy of some low regard. Or a normal person with assassin-ish tendencies (i know that is not a word, at least it gets the point across). Important to Remember: Yulian and Antonio are two subjects that are only brought up by those who wish to hurt her or insight rage (which doesn't usually happen. Has to be a really bad day for her to even get angry). These subjects visually shaker her, their murders are fresh in her mind. She and Antonio had been very close, event though they were only two years apart. Obviously she had been close to Yulian.
