ALINA ALVAREZ

created using @ummmmandy’s picrew!! sorry the collage cut the watermark out hsbdbdhdh i am not, however, sorry for the amount of outfits i made its so much fun.

stats: al, ali - she/her pronouns - panromantic asexual - 5’2’’ & 121 lbs - born june 12th, 1987* (cancer) - slytherpuff - warlock - the sun - enfj - 6 - sanguine-choleric - neutral good.

short backstory under the cut.

alina is the daughter of kamala maharaj (who was a researcher at m.i.) a british indian woman whos classified as a thrill-seeking genius. i affectionately think of her as the mad scientist type.

& her father is luis alvarez, an latin american paranormal investigator, like a real one, not one that does web shows and all that. he’s puerto rican and able to talk to ghosts. his entire family has some kind of psychic ability.

alina has the ability called psychometry where she can learn things about and item or person through touch.

luis is modeled after my irl mom, who’s puerto rican & a medium.

luis goes to the UK looking for a juergen leitner book (though he doesn’t know that that’s what it’s called) the book is affiliated with the dark; luis has a page from it and is searching for the rest. he meets kamala when he interviews her. they hit it off instantly and get married after less than a year of knowing each other.

when luis and kamala died, alina was raised by her godfather joel reid who made a statement at the magnus institute when alina went missing.

joel reid was in the relationship with kamala and luis, he was childhood friends with kamala stating that he was probably the only one who could put up with her eccentric personality until luis came along, though luis’ personality wasn’t much better.

he owned a bar and often let alina, jon, and georgie hang out there during their free time.

joel later becomes affiliated with the hunt.

alina and jon meet in college at oxford, alina grew extremely attached to him and kinda forced herself into his life, though he never complained about it.

the two end up moving together, becoming roommates

joel mentions in his statement that alina was always a weird child; knowing and understanding things a child shouldn’t know and understand.

for example when her mother died, alina wasn’t upset but instead strangely disappointed like she knew it would happen.

alina confesses later that she once tried to get her mother to quit working at the magnus institute, that working there would lead to her death. though, kamala couldn’t quit no matter how hard she tried.

alina was once brought into the m.i. with her mother, which causes the Eye to set its sights on her (pun fucking intended). alina refused to go back with her mother since then.

when jon expresses interest in joining the magnus institute it leads to a lot of tense conversations between alina and jon.

alina doesn’t want jon working there since she knows the truth about that place, but she couldn’t exactly explain to jon about the Entities since she knows he wouldn’t believe her without proof

she tried to subtly ward him off the magnus institute but when that doesn’t work she gradually becomes more forceful which leads to A lot of fights between jon and her; it’s one fo the only things they’ve ever fought about it

the last fight they had was extremely bad, which causes alina storm out of the house without any of her belongings & stay with joel for a few days.

while alina stays with joel, she never leaves her room. in joel’s statement he mentions a lot of strange things happening during that time like the lights going out for hours at a time and the shadows of strange figures he’d see at the corner of his eye

the last day joel saw alina is when she said yes to the Dark.

she disappeared for six years after that. when joel made a report they classified it as her missing a year later she was declared dead.

jon blamed himself for her disappearance.

the Dark has always been around alina, watching and waiting for her. she never planned on saying yes, since she knew what it was, but she needed a way to protect jon from the horrors of the magnus institute and becoming an avatar of the dark seemed to be the only solution

alina returns six years after she disappears, right after jane prentiss attacks the archives

she’s asleep, right outside her and jon’s apartment.

her and jon talk a lot that night and she moves back in with him (though all of her stuff was still there, jon didn’t move or touch anything, like he was waiting for her to come back)

she practically forces elias to give her a job at the archives, he accepts because the Eye wants her there and alina becomes jon’s assistant though she doesn’t leave his side.

alina as never been a good person and being trapped in the Dark for 6 years doesn’t help that. 

she comes back the same; happy, outgoing and charismatic. the complete opposite of jon; but she’s willing to do anything to make sure jon is happy and healthy and safe. she’s extremely loyal and overprotective of him.

she later grows fond of tim and martin and tries to protect them too. 

i ship alina with jon (romantically) & martin (platonically) tbh; i think about this ot3 A LOt jdbdbdjdj they’re in a poly relationship but alina and martin are friends since i hc martin being gay and only romantically interested in martin. though alina and martin do end up loving each other as family.
