Other Tidbits about Aalina
Fencing - Like many Gentlemen would Aalina has learned how to Fence and is quite good at it this coupled with her Tomboyish nature makes her far from defenseless

The Summoning: When Aalina was 5 she met Tory she had one day when playing in the small forest behind and around her house met a old commoner woman who had just moved in and was having trouble carrying her market buys to her tiny home so she helped her take them home and put them away surprised by the kindness this little upper class girl showed her when most of her encounters with the upper class had been nasty ones she gifted the girl with a delicious looking bun however the woman told her it was not for her to eat if she left it out overnight she would get a even better gift in the morning

This occurred the day before the Autumn equinox and she was eager not only for the festivities that would be happening that day but for her gift so she left the bun out on a stump she liked to play on and went inside the next morning she got up bright and early earlier then she normally did and went to the stump when she arrived what she found was not her bun but a large Robin colored Fox sleeping curled up in a ball on the stump she froze staring in awe at the fox she had seen Foxes with coats a color that they weren't normally before some members of her family had them and even some of the commoners in the forest had them

She took a step forward still in awe but froze again as she stepped right on some fallen leaves which crunched noisily under her foot the Foxes ears perked up and it slowly lifted its head up when it opened its soft black eyes it looked directly into hers a chill ran down her back and she understood this was the gift the old woman was talking about she walks forward then softly and carefully pets the fox it gladly accepted the petting and before long she found herself happily hugging the now happily wiggling fox she realized something she felt like she had found a long lost friend she never knew she had

Once the introduction was over she looks her new friend in the eyes wondering what she would call her before long a name drifted into her head and she spoke it "Tory then?" she asks to which the fox happily yipped and wiggled around in her grasp she smiled knowing she had found the right name

You could imagine her parents surprise when she arrived at the festivities later with Tory where she introduced her new friend this however was after she visited the old woman to thank her however the woman and her tiny home were mysteriously gone confused and sad she returned home with Tory only to see a shadow in the distance near the stumble she had found Tory on she runs over swearing the shadow was familiar when she got there it was gone however out of the corner of her eye she saw it again only more clearly it was the old woman she was smiling in a flash however the shadow was gone she smiles and hops on the stump Tory following she then shouts Thank you as loud as she could to the forest around her a sudden breeze played with her braid and she knew the old woman had heard her she looked down at Tory and that's when she went to introduce her new friend to her family and get ready for the festivities

From then on rarely did you see Aalina without Tory
