Description

Taken directly from her normal description:

She's a tall girl. Not too tall though. She stands at a proud 5'10, Her skin is bordering on medium tan, with a texture as smooth as silk. For a moment, you find yourself entranced by her eyes as they shift from a deep muddy brown, to a calm, serene blue, and finally, to a sharp, piercing, unnatural green. Her long sea-blue and green hair hangs down from underneath her in two long pigtails. Two blue, curved chin-length bangs fall to the side of her heartshaped face, parallel to eachother. Bizzarely, cool, clean water drips from her bangs, and the ends of her hair. Her ears slightly poke out from behind her hair, giving her a cute elf-like appearance.

A brown leather jacket adorns her upper body, zipped up about half way. As thats where the zipper gets jammed. Under the coat is a longsleeved purple t-shirt, the word "~Symphony~" written in big green letters across the chest. The elbows of the jacket bear brown leather patches, looking to be sewn in for padding. Out of the coatsleeves, you can see she is wearing very thing blue gloves. They gloves are designed, by the looks of them, to simply keep her hands from being seen, instead of actually keeping them warm.

Below her waist is an ankle length blue woolen skirt. If you just happen to catch a glimpse under the skirt, you'll notice she's wearing thin green sweatpants that are tucked into white socks. On her feet are two dirty looking tennis shoes.

History

Allya's early life was somewhat turbulent, but not turbulent enough to be incredibly damaging. At a young age her father and mother divorced, splitting her and her sister Allys (the parents obviously weren't very imaginative with their names for their children, a fact that both girls had to endure). Allya stayed with her mother, Allys moved in with her father. Several years later after Allya's father married a wealthy woman, Allys found a way back to Japan to live with her mother and daughter. After a year or so of acclimating herself to Japan, Allys returned to her previously unknown ways. Those ways being ways of generic badgirl rude crude punk attitude. After some unpleasantries involving jerks, death, framing, and mothers, Allya left Japan for Yuriba. The entirety of the story is generally one that Allya doesn't like to talk about in detail, though should you ever hear the whole thing Allya will more than likely laugh the entire time. Mostly because she believes angst is funny after 3 or 4 years of it being over. It should be known that after several months, Allya's sister moved to Yuriba, found love, and moved away with said love after several years of living on Allya's property.

Transformation

An old legend had been passed down from about four or five generations in Allya's Japanese family told the story of how a young man had been wondering about in the mountains one day and stumbled across a secluded hotspring where the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen had been bathing, and like all such legends he somehow made her his wife. The woman turned out to be a local water spirit of some standing. It is said that once every generation since then one direct descendant in each generation inherits the abilities and powers of the water being. However, many believed this story to be simply folly as no documented abilites had ever been passed down to descendents of the couple. Allya on the other hand, discovered that the story had been very much true. Upon arriving in Yuriba, an interesting transformation began to take place.

She found that holding her breath underwater became much easier than she originally remembered... and one day after accidentally inhaling a lungful she could actually breathe under fresh water. With this came a great deal of experimentation involving long communication with everything from the pacific ocean to bathwater. Finally after a short month of sleepless nights and various discomforts she had become a fresh water sprite.

Immediately she tempted fate and took a swim in the ocean that resulted in a brief stint of blindness. Her body had not yet finished it's change, and the different type of water that the ocean as had caused a taint in the process. Her blindness did pass after several months, and after long communication with spirits that resided in the pacific ocean she was granted the same abilities and rights that she had with fresh water to salt water, and attained the rank of Water Elemental.

She thinks the term Water Elemental is a hokey term, and prefers the term Water Sprite.

Allya soon found this is not the lovely fantasy job it should be, but in fact involves a great deal of paperwork. She is assisted by her water spirit familiar Sophia who she refers to as a "Living PDA." Additionally, Sophia refers to Allya as a "Living Jerk Who Should Do Her Own Dang 432-G Forms." She has since then hired an actual person to help with the paperwork that Sophia doesn't especially need to handle.

It should be noted that Allya is a fiercely territorial person when it comes to her element, and she generally does not get along well with people who claim to do a similar job as she does. She is working hard to adjust this problem, however, due to her hermit lifestyle it is a terribly slow process.

Multiple Dimensionality Disorder

Allya has recently come to terms that she has infact, a problem with breaking the 4th wall. That is to say, she is aware of several other versions of herself that populate the cosmos. She is in fact Number 7 in her line and at all times is aware of what the others are doing unless she focuses on blocking them out of her head with some exceptions. There are two forms in her "line" she finds much more difficult to block out of her head. These two alternate forms she keeps silent about mostly (as they are an embarrassment), but from time to time allows to be seen by other people that she holds the most trust in.

Personality

Allya is somewhat of an oddball due to the intense flux of magic that surrounds the island. Not only is she close to two of her greatest elements (water and salt water), but she is almost literally over powered by their close presence. In the case of salt water, in being absolutely surrounded by it, she uses a great deal of unconscious effort to block out the great amount of voices that she hears from the sea as well as the massive amount of energy she sometimes just wants to carry her away. Combining that with the issues described in the Multiple Dimensionality Disorder section above, a great deal of energy is spent just keeping her head to herself. When all of these issues are combined, it's not much of a surprise that when everything is said and done Allya is packed filled with eccentricities.

Titles and Occupations

Allya has held a great deal of occupations and titles in her short time in Yuriba. They are listed as follows in no particular order.

Pie-Wit Captain

For a brief time in Yuriba, Allya was the captain of the Pie-Wit organization. With a crew comprising of Katerina, Zess, Esmeralda, and Terri. Allya frequently led the Pie-Wits in their land-boat The Ragnarok to victory in many campaigns in the public Hot Spring. All attacks were done with the non-lethal pie cannons mounted on board the vessel. This caused a great deal of annoyance and soon stopped occuring after numerous complaints (and even an opposing land-ship) were launched. Nevertheless, Allya holds a great fondness for those early days, and leaves the Ragnarok near her beach, keeping constant vigil for people she believes need to shut up via a pie to the face.

Wonderminx Alpha

Allya considers herself to be quite the attractive young lady, and as such, created an organization that celebrated this feature. The organization was comprised of two people: Allya and Rheyna, a long time friend and roomate. The role and group did absolutely nothing, but sounded really awesome and later compelled Allya to create a martial art style based off of simply being good-looking. This vain art she called "MinxFu, the art of Supreme Distraction."

Actor

Allya had roles in several plays that the Red Moon Troupe had put on during it's all too brief existence lampooning the more prominant residents of Yuriba. Her most prominant roles were done as Princess Amelia and Princess Bedelia in the plays PAWTSing Around In One Act, PAWTSing Around Take Three, and Crime and Punishment. While still finding all these plays amusing in her own right, she harbors a tiny bit of guilt over it's blatant and unflinching cruelty to several of the residents of the village. That guilt however, is very small and not often explored.

Evil Sidekick

Shortly before Thalamasa's disappearance, Allya became understudy to Tantin, who at the time was Evil Overlord Thalamasa's evil understudy. After Thal stepped down, Tantin had been promoted in her place, and Allya had replaced Tantin as understudy. Tantin was much less of a public figure than Thal, and was soon uprooted by many other local evil overlords. Sadly in these interesting times, just about any one can be an overlord of evil by word alone. If there was any other evil overlord that Allya would throw her weight behind however, it would be Coral as she is the only one with the gumption to make a great deal of people angry and giggle at them afterwards.

Angst Buster

During the start of her second year in Yuriba, Allya built herself a vacuum cleaner. Not just any vacuum cleaner, but a vacuum cleaner of Epic Proportions. Powered on angst (which the island has a lot of), Allya would ride about the village on her CleanSweeper 12000-X and suck the angst and bad feelings out of people to use as a pollutant free source of energy. She quickly found out though, that many residents of the island had just too much angst and she quickly became disillusioned with this role. She still uses her vacuum cleaner as a mode of transportation to get her from point A to point Y, but it's days of sucking up angst are over.

Tailor

In order to make a small bit of side cash for festivals, in Allya's first year she designed elaborate costumes for people for the small fee of 300 lilies. These costumes ranged from anywhere to actual costumes for various holidays and themes to actual down to earth clothing. She has long since retired from this role, but often still makes outfits for herself and current significant others.

Two of her costumes have netted her first place in the Halloween Costume Contest two years running. Those outfits were respectively: A chibified tentacle monster that threw candy at people (2003), and a anthropomorphic scantily clad Dragon Quest Slime (2004).

Musician

Allya is the current lead singer and guitarist and keyboard player in her house band at her bar. The band is entitled Mexically and the Murderhoes. The name comes from her goofy sense of humor and her ethnicity (her grandmother was a full blooded Mexican who married into a Norwegian family). So far she's written absolutely nothing that anyone has heard, but she swears she's writing about three rock operas at once.

Businesses

Allya currently runs several on-island businesses that range from plush doll sales to restaurants.

The Baby Seal

The Baby Seal is a dive that Allya has gone out of her way to make look seedy and untrustworthy. Designed mostly for customers who don't take things too drastically seriously, The Baby Seal sees much less patronage than Leona's Bar and Girl or the Crimson Rose and Sword due to it's offbeat and somewhat disturbing nature. The bar itself is staffed by a bitter aging ex beatnik hippie named Maybell who's cooking is as angry as her feelings on both Nixon and whichever Pope is in control of the Vatican.

Aside from unhealty dining, the BS offers music that theoretically could be danced to in it's old-style jukebox. The Jukebox itself contains music that ranges from mainstreme to radically obscure. When Allya is on the premises the Karaoke machine is also available for public use provided that the rules be followed to a T.

The Baby Seal differs in that is currently (as far as Allya knows anyway) the only bar in Yuriba to pose age restrictions on who is allowed to buy alchohol. No customer under 18 years old may purchase alchohol, and those that do recieve a strict warning on a three strike system.

Casa de Allya

Casa de Allya is Allya's private vineyard that is staffed by herself and various water spirits to produce several potent wines. The most famous of those two wines being the WaterSprite Special and Nectar Surprise (the surprise is that it's not really nectar but wine, for those curious). Both wines are exclusively served at the Wild Hare Inn as a gift to her old friend Sabrina, who has long since left the island.

An interesting fact about the drinks that come from her vineyard: The alcoholic potency is nearly doubled when mixed with small amounts of water with absolutely no drop in quality of taste.

omoCo

During the Matsuri festival and other holidays, Allya runs a booth that delivers both plushies and insults to it's patrons. Insults are 50 lilies a pop and not very nice at all! Plushies cost quite a bit extra. Her claim to fame in the plushie world is omo.

omo (spelled in all lowercase letters, so that it looks like what he is) is a tiny boxing glove wielding tentacle monster with a heart of uranium plated gold wrapped in lemon. Born in a sewer on Alpha Pavonis V, he is the universe's self proclaimed GREATEST FIGHTER who has sworn an oath of chastity until he can win the heart of his one true love: The Penultimate Fairy Princess. omo speaks with an incredibly deep and loud Russian accent which he uses to inspire fear in his greatest of enemies: John Quincy Adams (lovingly referred to as simply Quincy). omo has chased Quincy throughout the universe after discovering that it was not actually a cerebral hemorrhage that killed John Quincy Adams, but malevolent evil spirit of the same name posessing his body and using it to wrack discomfort among the cosmos. Currently, omo is employed as Allya's bodyguard. Despite this terribly offensive (and often retconned) backstory, omo plushies have sold quite well at every village event that they are sold at.

Some of omo's most famous quotes are:

"I am omo!"

"omo says be cool! Stay in school!"

"Do not hate! Abbreviate!"

"My spidey sense is tingling!"

omo plushies are available in the following flavors: Plain omo, Pirate omo, Ninja omo, Sleepytime omo, and Sexy omo. If your omo starts acting up and having a mind of it's own that isn't centered on John Quincy Adams, chastity, the Penultimate Fairy Princess, awesome space battles where he totally punches out jerks, and or behaves erratically and walks on it's own, you own a defective and possibly cursed plushie. Any plushie as such is thusly the responsibility of it's owner and is not considered to be a part of the ever changing Official omo Canon.

Allya is currently owner of all rights pertaining to omo, omo backstory, omo future story, omo personality, and omo quotes.

The MinxFu Dojo

MinxFu is the art of Supreme Distraction. In a nutshell it could be also described as Skimpy Outfits + Good looks + Awesome Martial Arts Violence. All practicing MinxFu artists are required to wear outfits that reflect their best assests while at the same time managing to keep some dignity. Practicing MinxFu artists generally combine the art with at least one other martial art, as Minxfu is not so much combat oriented as it is timing and charisma.

Currently, Allya is the only Master of MinxFu and as such is head of the MinxFu Dojo. She has not taken any student under her wing since her previous MinxFu progidy left the island and has since grown greatly disillusioned with the artform. Allya will discuss it if asked, and will explain it in detail.

AllyaDyneUltraSysTechMega Systems

The singular manufacturer of the Clean Sweeper 12000-X vacuum cleaner transportation system. It's only claim to fame is the Clean Sweeper 12000-X which is simply an old 50's vacuum that's been heavily modified to make use of the angst around people. The vacuum itself has three settings above Off. Those are Suction, Blow, and Rock!. The suction setting sucked the angst out of the targets, while the blow setting focused the angst into a beam of pure energy and would reduce them to feeling, as the manual says: "Terrible. Craptastic. Unprofessional. Over emotional. Also: Very dumb." The final setting of Rock! doesn't do anything, as the setting is incompatible with the energy source.

Realizing that this technology would be absolutely dangerous to anyone that wasn't her (ignoring her instabilities), Allya only produced one Clean Sweeper 12000-X and quickly stopped all attempts to research them further.

Currently AllyaDyneUltraSysTechMega Systems is in a state of flux and exists only for Allya to cheat on her taxes. Which is unneeded, as Yuriba is currently without any sort of tax system.

Current Status

Currently Allya lives near a small but very deep lake in the middle of the forest beside the ocean with several roomates that share her spacious property. She is in a relationship with both Tantin and Enikis, two catgirls that she holds very fondly to her heart. She keeps mostly to herself in her office at home and doesn't make new friends very easily. Her two favorite hangouts are the The Baby Seal and the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean.
