PERSONALITY: Where her little sister has nothing but “fight me” energy, Aileana is the complete opposite. She’s generally a warm, kind hearted woman, who is friendly to just about everyone. She doesn’t like conflict, and actually avoids it if she can. Unless you’re abusing animals in front of her, you won’t get Aileana’s “Fight me” energy. In which case she is as fierce of a terror as her sister is. Unafraid to give you a verbal tongue lashing, heck, she might even punch you. If it’s one thing she will not stand for is animal abuse.

Aileana is a bit unobservant to say the least. She’s the type to just go through the motions, and is like a busy bee. It takes her a bit to realize things, and for them to really sink in, and when they do, it hits her like a stampede of horses. She’s very organized and is a stress cleaner. She likes things orderly and any messes make her anxious. She needs to have an outlet for her busy brain, to keep it distracted from the darker thoughts that swim around in her mind. Namely, how she’s going to raise a baby by herself. She takes great pride in her work as a horse trainer, and finds the work very rewarding. Aileana is constantly in a “go, go, go” mood and because of it, it makes her incredibly impulsive. She doesn’t tend to think about other options, just the one that pops into her head in that moment and takes action with it.

Aileana’s husband was mentally abusive, and because of it, she feels like she’s the only one that can handle her own problems. She doesn’t want to be a burden, or worry anyone else. Because of this, she struggles with asking for help with things from anyone. She’s a bit leery of strangers, but especially men. She’s mastered the act of pretending everything is okay, and puts a well placed mask on so no one thinks anything is wrong with her.

HISTORY:
Aileana is the Oldest daughter of Loxana and Keenan DiRossi. Growing up Oisen meant being surrounded by horses, which Aileana quickly fell in love with. She loves riding, and does it as often as she can. Riding comes as natural as breathing for her. She began to learn trick riding as she grew older, and can ride while standing or hanging from the saddle in various ways. She and her sister, Phixora, did trick riding together a lot when they were younger, and they became quite good at it.

While her sister went down the combat route, Aileana went the horse trainer route. Having a natural affinity with the large animals, Aileana felt right at home working with them. She loves the gentle giants and their quirky personalities. Aileana took great pride in her horses, and enjoys the hard work that goes into them. When she met Tom, her life began to change. What she thought was for the better. He was a charming man. A farmer that helped grow a lot of Clan Oisen's grains and crops. And the day he presented her beloved Dash to her for a proposal,  it was a done deal. And probably the biggest mistake of her life. 

Tom Saddler had been a wolf in sheeps clothing, building Aileana up, making her feel like she was on a pedestal before he began to chip away at her. His abuse started out as mental. So subtly that Aileana didn't realize how much damage he'd done to her until after she left. He made her think she was incapable of doing things, so she would constantly as him if she was doing something right, he'd get "disappointed" in her that gave her anxiety to the point she was constantly worried about upsetting him. When his drinking got worse and she tried to talk to him about it, he'd guilt trip her. "I only say it because I love you Aileana" he'd say. She hid what was going on in her home life well. Her friends and family had no clue to how miserable Aileana actually was. When Tom grew to become physical is when Aileana slowly started to realize that something was wrong. That it wasn't right, and that she needed to do something. She continued to hide the abuse, until she realized she was pregnant. 

Not having told him yet, one night Tom drank himself into an uproar. It was the worst Aileana had ever seen him, and it was the worst form of his abuse she'd experienced yet. He'd beaten her unconscious. Realizing what he'd done, he was afraid he'd killed her, but found she was still breathing. The next morning when she woke up and realized she hadn't miscarried, she decided to run. She had to wait several days, Tom not letting her leave for fear of someone seeing her bruised face. When he finally drunkenly passed out, she made her move. 

Aileana went to her sister's home first, sliding a letter under her door that explained all the abuse that Tom had done, and that she was no longer safe. Rather then sticking around and facing the possible judgment and shame of her husband, Aileana fled the Oisen clan. Fled her home for the sake of her child's safety, and managed to find passage on a ship off of Aldsage. In the weeks that followed, Aileana managed to find herself in Aralore, and was met with quite the culture shock. As a clanswoman from Aldsage, she found herself thrown into a more modernized way of the world that was unfamiliar to her in many ways.

Luckily, she was taken in with open arms by Roxanne Abernathy and Roman Gothard once they realized she needed help. It was a hard pill to swallow, but for her baby she did it. Aileana is currently taking refuge with Rox and Roman, her unborn child is expected to be delivered in roughly a month, and she's still trying to wrap her head around the idea of being a mother, as well realizing that she is safe from her estranged husband. Little does she know that she's being hunted by the very man she left behind.

*After Aileana left Oisen, Tom found himself in a world of hurt. After being drilled with questions about Aileana's whereabouts and the abuse he did to her, he was flogged and banished from the clan. He now is blinded by rage and a thirst for revenge on his little wife who ruined his life. He's currently going from island to island in search of her.*
