- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
LIKES: Meat, the woods, quidditch, meat, running, raiding the kitchens, joking around, meat, potions class, being outdoors, ... meat?
DISLIKES: The full moon, uptight people, not having meat, anything that requires sitting still for too long, pumpkin pasties, rude people.
BIGGEST FEAR: Harming someone during the full moon.
PERSONALITY:
Boyish: Although Alana doesn't go out of her way to present herself in a tomboyish kind of way (she likes to look pretty as much as the next teenager girl!), she has always been 'one of the lads'. Perhaps it is something to do with idolising her older brother from a young age, but Alana has always felt more comfortable in the company of the opposite sex than in the company of her own. She's laid back, carefree and always up for a belching competition.
Talkative: Alana is a bit of a talker. It's difficult to get her to shut up, actually. She also hasn't quite mastered the art of controlling her volume either and can often be heard chattering away from the other side of the Great Hall. She gets uncomfortable during silences and will usually try to fill it with some garbled excuse for an unrelated sentence. That said, she's usually willing to talk to anyone who looks like they need a friend and it is one of her more positive traits... if you can get past her brashness.
Joker: Like the rest of the Gryffindor boys, Alana loves a joke - practical or otherwise. She's forever getting into trouble for being up to something she shouldn't be and she has quite the penchant for rule breaking. Her laughter is rather infectious and it's rare to see her go five minutes without collapsing into a fit of hearty giggles. Sometimes, however, she has a tendency to take things too far and doesn't necessarily realise it until it's too late. Her heart is in the right place, though. Generally.
Love shy: As confident as she is hanging around with the boys, Alana is terrible when it comes to matters of the heart. She's convinced that most boys see her as 'just a friend' and she is almost certain that she has no sex appeal whatsoever. She doesn't know how to do flirty. Or sultry. Or sexy. Or even lady-like. It's just not her thing. And what kind of boy wants a girlfriend who turns into a big hairy wolf every month anyway? No. She's very insecure when it comes to boy boys.
Werewolf: So, it's not necessarily a personality trait. Except it is. Alana's affliction means that there are certain quirky things about her. She eats like a horse. Or... more like a carnivore really. She can be seen stuffing her face with food every night at dinner - especially meat. Raw. She also gets extremely tense when the full moon is nearing. For a few days every month she is certainly nothing like her usual self. She gets tired, worn out and exceedingly grumpy, but it really isn't something that she can help. Her affliction hits her hard and she is yet to learn how to deal with the side effects.

MOTHER: Demelza Sloper (nee Robins)
FATHER: Jack Sloper
SIBLINGS: --- Sloper (B, 7th), --- Sloper (G, 5th), --- Sloper (G, 5th)
HISTORY: Alana Evelyn was born on January 13th, the second child born to Jack and Demelza Sloper. She was younger sister to --- Sloper, who soon became her sibling idol. Alana latched onto --- from the moment that she was old enough to follow him around and they were soon a troublesome twosome to be reckoned with. It was only a year or so after Alana's birth that her two sisters - the twins - joined the family. Although there was no outright rivalry between them, Alana was never able to bond with the two girls in the same way that she did with her older brother. It is safe to say that some friction has remained between them, especially considering... later developments in Alana's biological make up.
From a young age, Alana and her siblings were often regailed with the story of The Battle of Hogwarts. Their father, Jack, was proud to say that he had been there and had fought bravely alongside the great Harry Potter. The battle was won, victory had been claimed. Big cheers all around! And yet... Jack Sloper did not come away unscathed. No. A bite from a werewolf - the infamous Fenrir Greyback himself - had left him 'afflicted'. Of course, the children had all been fascinated by their father's condition. They knew that he disappeared from the home once a month and ran free in the depths of the darkest British forests. Ran free where he could harm no-one. Ran free where he couldn't be harmed by others. It had all seemed so exciting to his four young children. Especially Alana, who was every bit the daddy's girl. She adored her father - was mesmerised by his condition.
Until... until it became clear that she herself had begun to develop the condition. Jack and Demelza had been so pleased that none of the children seemed to have inherited their father's condition - it had always been their greatest fear. All four had shown signs, of course. They all preferred their meat on the rarer side and got a little ratty at the full moon... but none of them had ever gone through the transformation. They had escaped that fate. Or, at least, they had thought that they had. It was the year that Alana's older brother first began attending Hogwarts. He had been away for a month or so when it happened. The full moon came and Alana turned into a...
It was horrible. Horrific. The worst experience she could ever recall having. Somehow, the transformations eased as the months went on, but never did she enjoy it. Never again was she mesmerised by the condition. It was her curse now, not just her father's. It seemed that the werewolf affliction had stayed dormant for many years, only becoming fully active as Alana became old enough to bear the physical effects of the transformation. They worried, of course, that the twins would develop the condition as Alana did, however they did not. And thank Merlin for that, Alana often thought, because wolfie twins would be even worse than the twins she already had to put up with in her life!
The year after her first transformation, Alana began to attend Hogwarts like her brother had before her. She was sorted into Gryffindor alongside him and the house fit her like a glove. Fun-loving, daring, brave. There Sorting Hat had made the correct decision for her. Fascinated by the potions she was given to ease her suffering at the full moon, Alana took a keen interest in the subject from the off and it is consistently the subject that she achieves highest in. Ever the athlete, she joined the quidditch team as soon as she was old enough and has maintained her position on the team ever since - beater, of course.
