{ overview }
Name: Alba Gale Delores
Nicknames: None thus far
Origin: Costa Rican
Age: 18
Birthday: January 25th
Sign: Aquarius
Gemstone: Rhodolite Garnet
Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Simple and balanced dishes, such as fish paired with rice with a few vegetables on the side, smothered in a light sauce. Has recently become obsessed with apples.
Hated Food: Americanized Mexican foods.
School: Sovereign Heights
Hobbies:
Painting-- What first started out as an interest for finger painting at a very young age quickly blossomed into a lavished love affair for experimental paints and the use of mixed media and collage-ing in her various pieces of work. While she wouldn't ever tell you that they're any good by any means, or at least, good enough to pursue art as any kind of career form, she still enjoys it as a meditative hobby when she has the time for it every now and then.
Sewing-- Alba is fascinated with the world of tailoring and is excited to get her hands on a sewing machine some day to see what she can really make from it. She has a stack of Do-It-Yourself magazines featuring hand-made skirts, blouses, purses and scarves and is thirsty for more patterns to add to her collection. More recently had she been able to acquire a good threading-hand as a result from volunteering in costume design and production at the Crystal Academy Theatre Club, and with her own diligent practice, had been able to create simple cloth accessories from fabric remnants.
Paper Crafting-- There are two desks in Alba's room: one is fairly unremarkable built from manufactured wood and used primarily for homework or as a space to keep her laptop and day planners organized. The other is a more bulky, massive piece of furniture that had been bought at a second hand store specifically for its amount of drawers and various other storing nooks. The desk is bursting with all kinds of construction paper, ribbons, glitter and glue -- if you have a birthday, you best be sure that you'll be receiving a card. Valentine's Day? A hand-made token of appreciation, with love.
Kick-boxing-- This is a relatively new activity that has been added to her weekly schedule. Every Tuesday and Thursday evenings does Alba sneak away from the Sovereign Heights dorms to join a few other people in an open class taught at the local gym. Whether this was triggered by the increasing dangers of Destiny City or a particularly harmful bout of her self-image, it isn't sure. She has, however, been very strict with herself and hasn't skipped class once since she's started.
Virtues:
Patient-- Most of Alba's young and developing life had been spent waiting for time to pick up. With traveling parents, this meant either waiting for them to get home safe and sound and reuniting with her and her abuelos, or on the occasion that they took her along their journeys, the wait of the destination or the desire to head back home to some amount of normalcy. Tolerance was an acquired taste, and something that she later became quite grateful for. Good things come to those who wait, and nobody knows this more than her.
Passionate-- Her life is dictated emotionally, by the pulls and tugs of her heart. It's not quite as wearing her heart on her sleeve, as Alba's pretty good at masking her feelings if she were to feel it necessary to. She lives freely and expressively, and while this means that her anger is prone to tidal-wave, it means her happiness is just as sweet.
Dependable-- Part of the reason why Alba keeps her bulky cell-phone on her side at all hours of the day is just incase. Unless it's a matter of a person's own safety or well-being, there is nearly nothing that will pull Alba away from friends and family should they need help, support, or even just a little bit of company to make it through the day. It brings her a great deal of satisfaction to know that her simple presence or lending hand was of help to someone, no matter how small the gesture was.
Glass is Kind of Full-- Times are rough in Destiny City. There are rampant monsters on the loose and dark people bent on performing dark deeds, and to top it all off, Alba has to balance a life of super-hero secrecy with school-work and still try to be a normal 18-year-old girl amidst it all. While she's had her fair share of depression and beyond-stressful situations, she manages to wake up every morning brimming with optimism and ideas to cope with the negative and make a positive experience from it all.
Flaws:
Stubborn-- Once her mind forms a concrete decision or opinion on something, it's almost impossible for her to think otherwise unless supported with some very convincing or physical proof of some kind. First impressions could make or completely shatter her perspective of a person because of this, regardless of circumstances, and if there's something that she really doesn't want to do, then by golly, she's going to be dragged kicking and screaming the entire way.
Tactless-- It isn't as though she's inconsiderate or insensitive about other people's delicate and emotional wireframes. Alba just adopts an all-honesty-policy and doesn't believe sugar-coating ever helps a situation, so if it means saying something that may hurt someone's feelings, so be it. She genuinely feels that being frank and sincere about matters are important in the long run, and may even help a person once they've gotten over the initial rebuke. You just can't live life on a lie.
Profusely Demonstrative-- Growing up in a predominant Latin American family has taught her many a great thing, above all being the importance of keeping family and friends close to you and your heart. It was a hands-on household in a culture where embracing acquaintances and kissing cheeks of the people close in your life as you greet them were not only normal practices, but encouraged. After moving to the United States, it had become quite apparent that what she saw as friendly courtesy was considered a mild form of sexual harassment to others. While she keeps it toned down, Alba still has a difficult time gaging the personal bubble of a person and more often than not does she cross it, with arms wide open.
Little Miss Know-It-All-- As mentioned before, it is immeasurably difficult to change Alba's mind once it's set in stone, and that is partly derived from the fact that she considers herself a fairly intelligent person who, while not completely true, has experienced a lot in her young life through travel and from living in two distinctly different countries. She's fluent in both English and Spanish, is currently attempting to learn French, and has already collected a a small library of books in which she reads from every day. She tries not to be arrogant about it, though it's easy to see through her front when she refuses to admit when she's wrong.

 { sailor alcyone}Senshi: Sailor Alcyone, Super Sailor Senshi of Storms
Challenge: When it rains, it pours!
Attack #1: Force of Whirling Tempest!
A defensive move, Sailor Alcyone summons a violent and windy storm to downpour on the opponent. The attack can last for up to two minutes, and is meant to obscure the foe's vision and ability to attack back while they shield themselves from wind and rain. During the winter, the move becomes more of an attack as rain turns into sleet or hail, depending on how cold it is. Its diameter is encompassed within 6 square meters, and can only be used once a day.
Attack #1a: Strike of Tempest's Thunder!
As Alcyone's power becomes stronger, so does the storm she conjures. More noticeably are her lightning bolts, which can either strike at random (3 at most) or could be aimed by her at the cost of her own stamina, which dramatically limits the number to 1 bolt.
The storm can now cover up to 8 square meters and can be used twice a day, though still only lasts for up to two minutes.
Attack #2: Massive Typhoon Discharge!
Sailor Alcyone cannot use this attack!
A dedicated member of TEAM PLEIADES.

{ pleiades | the myth }
In Greek mythology, the Pleiades were seven sisters: Maia, Electra, Alcyone, Taygete, Asterope, Celaeno and Merope. Their parents were Atlas, a Titan who held up the sky, and the oceanid Pleione, the protectress of sailing.
After a chance meeting with the hunter Orion, the Pleiades and their mother became the object of his pursuit. Enamoured with the young women he pursued them over the face of the Earth. In pity for their plight, Zeus changed them into a flock of doves, which he set in the heavens. Thus the olympian added the penalty of the absence of his wife and family to the Titan's original punishment of eternally supporting the heavens from the Earth.
----
There are several versions of the tale of the seven sisters, each with Atlas and/or Orion. This particular brief was picked for the reason they turned into stars: most myths depict the sisters committing suicide after hearing about their father Atlas's punishment, and thereby living their sorrow in the sky for eternity. I preferred the idea of Zeus showing pity by turning them into doves and releasing them into the heavens simply for the happier-noted ending.
