Species: Shapeshifter
Soulmate: Jollandar McDuff
Age: about 20
Looks: Long, curly, jet-black hair and pale skin. Green eyes so dark that they appear black. Distinctive features are slightly pointed ears and a strangely shaped birthmark at the nape of her neck.
Known Family: None
Other: Her only contact with her past is an amulet with a symbol that matches her birthmark - the shape of a foxglove - and other unidentifiable writing, which she always wears.

More Information: She had been passed from foster home to foster home. She was considered a "problem child" and the longest she spent in any one place was three months - until, at sixteen, Anna Dupont, a 53-year-old woman from Pennsylvania, adopted her unexpectedly.

Anna was an Appaloosa horse-breeder who had lived by herself on her 240 acre farm. Alanae, who had never had contact with horses before, found herself immediately connecting with them. Although suspicious of Anna's motives at first, she found herself liking, and then loving the woman.

When Alanae was about eighteen years old she woke up one morning to find Anna slaughtered on the kitchen floor. When the police came up with nothing leading to Anna's killer, Alanae vowed that she would find him and exact her own justice. In searching Anna's room she discovered that Anna had been a vampire hunter, dedicated to finding and killing those of the Night World. Alanae stepped into her adopted mother's shoes. Now she also stalks those of the Night World, not knowing that she is a shapeshifter, herself. She is an expert in the use of knives.
