Exiled from House Lodovka in Brevoy, Alessa wanders Golarion in search of her destiny. Right now, that destiny seems to lie beyond the stars, in the faraway world of Castrovel.

Alessa was raised by the noble House Lodovka on Acuben Isle in Brevoy, but her parentage was always unknown, and her not-fully-human heritage became visible from a young age. In fear that this might cause scandal among the other houses, she was kept sheltered in the castle, spending most nights confined to her tower under only the light of the stars. As she grew up, she increasingly began to catch wind of plans to exile her or worse, and decided that there could be a better life for her in the world beyond. With the help of her newly discovered magical talents and a new friend in the snow leopard Athis, she escaped the isle and wandered Avistan for some time.
 
After landing in Taldor, she found her first quest, making fast friends with the silent lizard barbarian Eezag and the capricious fey Lily as they recovered a magical amulet from cruel bandits. More recently, she has found something of a home for herself in Sandpoint, with many places to adventure as well as relative safety, as long as a certain trio of hags leave her alone.
 
Alessa is a free spirit, mostly happy to wander and shine brightly to those around her. Still, there is a part of her that wants her to know more about herself and her destiny. She has spent many nights gazing up at the stars and wondering if there is any fate written for her in them. One night, outside Sandpoint, the stars answered her wondering. A vessel from another world, carrying a mysterious traveler, crashed into the hills. It was then that the traveler revealed herself to be Zyl'thara, Alessa's sister, and that she is needed to save the world of Castrovel.
 
Ever since, Alessa has been trying to find a way to her ancestral home. Right now, the path seems to lie in a ruin of ancient Thassilon. But for all the hope she has placed, the ruin has been her greatest trial yet, having cast her out twice and claimed the life of her beloved companion, Athis.
