Background
Aliella was once a paladin of the Sacred Order, a compleatly female order of paladins dedicated to the eradication of heretics and abominations. Both skilled in the art of combat and use of the blessed gifts, she was respected and cared for by her peers. But, even the greatest can fall. This was something that Aliella learned first hand as she was sent out on a mission to a distant town that had been under the influence of the ruinous powers.
She arrived late in autumn and immediately set to her task to question the villagers. Preciously few, but still some of them, were found guilty of heresy and was burned at the first light of dawn after six nights of torture. Her task fulfilled, she would have returned, if it had not been for winter crawling over the land. The passage through the mountains becoming untraversable.
For a time, all was well. But, as they near the solstice, people began to disappear. One or two at a time the peasants just disappeared without a trace, no one knowing, or seeing of them. Aliella wanted this to end, she asked and she questioned, but no one knew. Not even torture would reveal her any answers. So she stayed up, secretly setting herself to guard the only entrance and exit to the village. What she saw shocked her. The royally appointed guards would open the door to let a villager sneak out into the night, one which she had already questioned on the disappearance of the others.
She slaughtered the guards, smashing them to bloody pulps with her mallet and set out into the night to follow the villager. Following him into the mountains, she was lead to a cave. The paladin killed the peasant outside and tossed his carcass down the mountain before slowly moving into the cave, sacred mallet held at the ready.
At first, she thought that her stamping of the ruinous powers hadn't been through enough. But such was not the case as she discovered a cult worshiping death and undeath in the most despicable manner. As she was about to attack them, she was ambushed from behind by their undead minions. Her mallet lost to her and she was captured.
What happened after that, no one knows, but the paladins sent to the village when spring came didn't return either. And so the Sacred Order rallied a small army to travel through the mountains and find whatever evil that were claiming their agents.
When they arrived, they were shocked by what greeted them. Around the small village the wooden palisade had been razed and in it's place erected a great wall of onyx stone. The land around the wall was withered and dead, not a single plant or animal could bee seen for miles around. They besieged the town and demanded to speak with whomever was in charge of this heresy. Their answer was the wailing mockery of the dead as the carved gates swung open. Hordes of the living dead piling out, lead by their fallen sister.
Description
Aliella is about 170 centimeters tall, with silvery hair laying in soft locks around her neck and shoulders. Icy blue, glowing eyes glances softly around her. Most of her delicate marble skin is covered by black armor, crafted with symbols of death upon it's surface. The hood is mostly resting on her neck, but is draped over her head when she moves among people, eyes cast down as to not reveal what she is.
She is not dead, nor undead.
Abilities
Aliella is a skilled warrior, no doubt about that. And as a paladin, she had the sacred blessings to support her in battle. Capable of healing herself and smiting her foes with divine justice.
Since her fall she has lost her touch with the Art. But has now become a wielder of much more sinister powers. Calling for the creatures of the grave and night to obey her command, she raised the dead to fight for her. With forbidden knowledge, she carves runs upon her weapon and armor to enhance them in battle. Her fall has granted her other powers as well, even is she rarely uses them.

OOC Notes
----------
If you want to RP with Aliella, feel free to whisper. But it would be for the better if you have a scene in mind you want to play, even just a plain meeting and chatting is nice to play.
Aliella can be both prey and pred, but she won't go willingly into being someone's meal. You want to eat her, you have to fight for it, or trick her into it.
