the ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
Killer eyes and homicidal sighs
Confessional lips, professional fingertips
It's a deception to perfection
Her exceptional hips

OVERALL PERSONALITY:Ah, intellect; it means a great deal to Miss Mancini. From a very young age, she’s been enlightened with a vast vocabulary and philosophical articulations that would even gives Harvard professors a run for their money. Call what you want, but Allegra is prideful when it comes to her ingenuity, at often times even a little arrogant. And with that pride comes self control, the control, in turn prevents her from looking like a fool at any given time. For one miniscule slip up, her reputation as the reigning genius would slip away from her in an instant. And that is something she could never have. Allegra has put a lot of effort in being perfect. But she’s more of a text book kind of girl, which makes you wonder why she isn't rushing to become a lawyer, right? She doesn't believe in 'karma' or 'fate' or even 'serendipity'. She's barely religious, relying on the Socratic Method to explain anything and everything. There is always a reason. She's more of science probed, with the thoughts of logic and mature speaks. She speaks articulately, with thick words and thick meanings, although the occasional `fo shizz` and other teenage colloquialism does happen to slip by. Of course with such eloquence comes pride; and stubbornness. Stubborn, doesn’t even begin to cover it. Allegra, a very opinionated woman, and will not change her views. Obstinacy only resulted because Allie is almost always correct; it is a rarity to catch her wrong. Being of the outspoken type, she isn’t scared to give her two cents worth; even if it is only a penny for his thoughts.
Allie almost never asks for help, it doesn’t help that she’s self reliant to the core. This stubborn independence has gotten her into sticky situations on more than one occasion. Dependence on others is not an option for this girl and often refuses to ask for help with things unless it is absolutely necessary. She will also hide any negative emotions she feels, the rare moment where she does ‘feel’, until she is alone because she doesn’t like people to see her in moments of weakness. She tries to avoid disclosing personal problems to others as she doesn’t like people to pity or feel sorry for her. As independent as she is, Allie is also quite impulsive to a suicidal reckless extent. The Irish Italian girl tries not to dwell in the past for too long, but she relapses once and a while. But Allegra is an unusual person. She doesn't tend to think things through before she does them, and often acts on a whim. Which, I suppose, is fine sometimes, but when it comes to something vastly important, it isn’t the best way to handle certain situations. However, that does not stop her; she does what she wants to, playing by no one’s rules. Allie leaps before she looks, and does not worry about the consequences until afterwards. However, she doesn’t expect to live very long anyways, so she might as well do things her way and to defy some obviously logical steps in order to get things done.
Despite the fact that she is reckless and impulsive when it comes to unimportant things, however, she is very different when it comes to her family business; almost contradicting her nature completely. She is meticulous to the point of perfection, every details matters, Allegra has the inability to ‘half- ass’ things. Because if she does, people die, people that are useful that is. This sort of experience has led her to the ability to think on her feet at any moment, formulating quick solutions to avoid consequences. She tends to close herself from civilization to an extent, all in order to create nearly fool proof plans. This leads to her misanthropic ways, and utter social ineptitude. Allegra doesn’t understand why one must filter what they say or do, all in favour of someone else’s feelings or what not. It was utterly time consuming and pointless to say something but mean something else, despite the fact that she loved metaphors and literature techniques, but not when dealing with people. It was just simpler for her to say the truth and nothing but, it worked better than way. Sure this lead to her utter disgust of the human race and how she never really liked ‘hanging out’ like most of her age did, but Allegra Valencia Aileen Mancini was not like most. She was far more significant. Sure that made her sound like a textbook narcissist, and she doesn’t deny it. Her eidetic memory and overall aptitude about most things was very useful and if she appreciated it, then call her a narcissist. She did things that were far beyond her general age bracket’s maturity, she has yet to meet another nineteen year old as accomplished as she.

SIBLINGS: Dario Mancini,Marco Mancini, Leo Mancini- 3 older brothers, in order of age.
OTHER: ---
LIVING SITUATION: valks
HISTORY:Aileen O'Flynn and Angelo Mancini were married when they were eighteen and twenty, respectively. Of course, being the heir apparent to the Mancini Crime family meant his wife and her entire family would go under strict supervision, just in case the Irish wanted to infiltrate; but low and behold, Aileen was from a small town in Ireland, and her family were humble blue collar workers all their lives. So Aileen and Angelo were married and within a handful of years, they had Dario, Marco, Leo and their youngest, Allegra. They were a nice big European Family, residing in New York, with homely values instilled upon the children and family dinners every night. However, a little known fact, The Mancini's were one of the Five Families that rule New York, and had their fair share of allies and enemies. But that would come into affect later. Allie on the other hand, she was special. I mean, all of the kids were special but Allegra, she seemed to soar in school and after the realization that the girl had eidetic memory; she finished high school at the prominent Nightingale-Bamford School at the tender age of thirteen. She was the school's youngest ever graduate. However, that didn't stop Angelo from preparing her daughter for the real dangers in the world. He would always laugh that he would rather spend money on getting her trained than on body guards, because you can't trust anyone for anything, especially with his children. So from the age of six, the girl was enrolled in self defence classes and martial arts, eventually getting a black belt in ninjuitsu at fifteen. But before that, at fourteen, something terrible happened.
It was a cold November night; New York City was in a blur, as the snow swirled and tumbled to the ground, gathering in small piles. The house was nearly empty, with the exception of Aileen as she was in the process of making a tiramisu and some strong coffee for her and Angelo. Aileen loved to bake; it was a Friday night ritual, for just her and her husband of over twenty years. Their twenty first wedding anniversary was coming close, November 18th just days away. Where did the time go? She was happy with what she had accomplished as a mother, a wife. She had four beautiful children, a loving husband, who despite was in the business that she didn’t approve of, not because he was dabbling in sin but rather, he could have and still could be killed by any number of people. As she heard the familiar buzzer from the cooking timer, she tentatively removed the glass dish, placing it on the counter with a light clasp between granite and glass. She heard the door shuffle open, her heart jump as she almost broke the two mugs that were shaking in her pale hands. Breathing raggedly though her nose to calm herself down, it was only the guard; they would normally come into the home if it got too cold. It couldn’t have been Leo; he was boisterous about his entrance, always with the dramatics. However, Aileen heard more rustling, her heart jumping once more, as she turned to glance over and around the kitchen. Her nerves were getting the best of her tonight. It was all in her head.
If only Aileen listened to her intuitions.
Their home was broken into, stupid, stupid idea on the Russian part. No one was home except for Aileen and Allegra, who came home just in time to see her mother getting shot. Grabbing a gun of her own, she ran to her mother's side, shooting the assailant straight in the throat without a second guess. Some lowly chore hound, how dare he. Somehow, within the time she tried to get her mother to stay with her as she attempted to get help and refrain from crying, her entire family came in and out, whisking away Aileen's limp body as Allie wound up in her father's arms. "You did well, child, it wasn't your fault." was all she heard from her father who looked broken from that point onwards. She was quiet from that moment forward; some said that she became a mute, traumatized over what she had seen. But that was only part of the truth. She felt responsible for this, for her mother’s death. It wasn’t necessarily guilt, she didn’t know what that felt like. Actually, Allegra didn’t really understand most emotion; she could easily define some with chemical releases. She felt…odd. There was no other way to really to describe how she felt, for feelings were not Allegra’s forte, which was fine because really, feelings were unnecessary.
After the funeral, she took two weeks off from school, in respect for her family. Her father was a mess; it was obvious that this hurt him in a much deeper level. Her brothers remained tough lipped, except for Leo, who tried to make things a little lighter. He was always the comic; he had the inability to remain comfortable with silences and imminent sorrow. Allegra was somehow fine with it, after crying for the first time in a very long time, she didn’t bother now. It was coming if she thought about it logically. The wife of one of the most prolific leaders of one of the most powerful families on the eastern coast of North America, it was bound to happen. Aileen, her mother, was Angelo’s weakest point; it only made sense that the Russian would do something regarding her. According to social etiquette or morals, or what have you, Allegra shouldn’t be dismissing her mother’s death into a series of events that were fuelled by a long stemming hatred. Somehow, that didn’t bother her, though some might say that she was a psychopath, unable to comprehend or feel emotion herself. Allie could feel emotion, if she tried really, really hard to do so, but that seemed illogical in her mind. Emotions only hindered, from her experience.
It wasn't until after she got her bachelor's degree in health science from Columbia that she became really involved with the family business. Her father was initially against the idea; he didn't want to lose Allegra too. But she had precedent, her plans and occasional 'work' was successful when she 'worked' during her degree, she did well after all. It was this need to avenge her mother that drove her, the never ending ambition and her undeniable cruelty to those who weren't the Mancini Family Allies. Quickly, within her Masters also at Columbia, she became the go-to girl if you needed something to be 'cleared up.' She was unstoppable, and most of all feared by those who knew the stories. But those who didn't know her just yet would scoff before she would give them a permanent story to remember. It was the fear she relished in, despite the fact that Dario would be the heir apparent; it would be Allegra who ran the show. However, now, she was needed in Valkyrie, to observe and look around a bit, because it was obvious that something were to go down with such a high presence of her allies and enemies all in an insignificant California town. It was intuition or what have you, but it was vital for at least Allegra to be present. So in order to have an alibi along with something entertaining to accomplish, asides from brewing the Cosa Nostra, Allegra also applied at the Valkyrie school of Medicine. She had nearly perfect grades; only ambiguity was that some of the time she would have been called away for ‘business purposes,’ which left some minor spots on her grade point average. It came in handy that she was of a special breed, having an eidetic memory and such a long record of academic excellence, it would have been absurd for the University of Valkyrie NOT to accept her into their program. Granted the likes of Valkyrie medicine paled in comparison to John Hopkins or other prestigious, but it would do. Not like she was getting her MD from some sketch ‘institute’ in the Caribbean with ads displayed on the television.
Perhaps Valkyrie will prove to be some worth after all.
