Physical Description
Alethea is thin, well muscled and about 5'4". Overall, Alethea is an overall impression of sharpness both in her features and the scowl that seems permanently affixed to her face. Even in cases where people aren't aware of her reputation, they tend to assume they've done something to upset her based on her normal demeanor.
She keeps her hair short out of both preference and practicality, finding anything longer to be a nuisance.
Alethea has a menagerie of scars from punishments, accidents, and self inflicted ones on her knuckles. If she's not getting in fights, she has a tendency to punch walls, trees, and other hard surfaces to vent her frustrations.

Personality
Alethea is generally very quiet and comes across quite cold. She generally is restraining herself from punching something or someone, and has a very short fuse. She's extremely spiteful about how she's treated as a passive and would throw herself fully into any situation that got her out of being gated. Alethea can't quite be described as "tender" in any capacity, but she has a penchant for dressing wounds and she does it well, though she's a little rough. She will tend to people's wounds if she sees them injured and unattended and then move on like nothing happened.
Alethea's incredibly bad at understanding people's feelings or how to navigate relationships in general, given that her habit of getting in fights and her resting bitch face tend to scare people off. She's capable of kindness, but it takes a lot of time and trust for her to start putting any real work into a friendship with someone. She's a bit of a lonely person.
She's very quick to get into fights and she's pretty good at fighting. The fights she lost she held a grudge over until she was able to "resolve" them.
She hates the galdori passionately and if asked, she will tell you that she wishes them all dead.
Backstory
Alethea was born to lower-middle class galdori parents and was fairly spoiled for much of her childhood. Her biggest issue was interacting with the son of her father's employer, who was definitely the sort of child that derived great joy from plucking the wings off of insects and the like. Often, he would antagonize Alethea and push her around. When she would bring this to the attention of her parents, they would generally brush her off, insist he was just being a child, and tell her not to make such a big deal out of it. However, as time went on and they both grew older, he became more and more aggressive with her.
Finding that she couldn't just keep tolerating it, Alethea did start to fight back, which only served to make him more aggressive and cruel to her. She would frequently find that his jabs would bruise her under her clothes.
When she was eight, she was afraid of him, afraid of being around him, and during one altercation, her diablerie went off. With it being a gravity diablerie, they both ended up floating up higher and higher until they both dropped. She was terrified of what had happened, didn't really understand it, but it felt good to see how scared he was. He suffered a broken arm, she suffered a slight concussion and she was heavily punished for the event. When she was told she was a passive, she realized she wouldn't be able to ever control the power she'd briefly had and wouldn't necessarily be able to defend herself in the future. She was gated shortly after.
Alethea fell into the habit of getting into fights after being gated, fighting with other passives over anything. She was punished for most of these altercations, but it didn't do anything to really deter her.
As a young teenager, her relationship with a fellow passive deteriorated to a physical altercation. The other passive caught her off guard and shoved her, causing her to fall. The impact broke her collar bone, and for the next few months she was in a sling and not getting in fights, much to the relief of everyone around her. However, the moment she was able to move freely again, she tracked down the passive and broke their nose before someone pulled her off.
At present, she doesn't particularly care what happens to her. She has an expectation that she's going to end up dead sooner rather than later and doesn't perceive the possibility of a future beyond the next day for herself.
