Personality: People find themselves drawn to Alessandra, which is something even she doesn't understand all of the time. Above all, though, it's likely because she's genuine. Honest to herself and others. She recognizes her flaws and accepts them, and something about that draws people to her. However, she doesn't open herself up to just anyone, either. She's not shy in the least, but it isn't always easy to get close to her. Especially when she's working on a project, she can act a bit obsessive and particular over her environment.

Bio:
Alessandra had a bit of a fairytale childhood, in a weird way. Her parents had met in school, specifically while her mother was at an academy in Paris and her grandfather was a member of Parliament. There had been troubles, but the relationship had lasted and led to their marriage while her mother had been getting her master's degree in her home country of England. The new couple had settled in the Kensington estate in Canterbury, and that was where Alessandra was born.

Her childhood was spent in Canterbury as well, with summers at her paternal grandmother's home in Italy when she wasn't visiting the filmsets her father was working on. It was all rather idyllic, and only followed by the additions of Ilenia five years after herself and Giovanna three years after that. Contrary to what might have happened, Alessandra is close to her sisters. The three of them would do anything for one another, unless it was related to schooling. Namely, Less refused to do Leni's homework for her and Leni regularly retaliated by hiding her paints and charcoal pencils. Kid stuff.

Things changed the slightest bit when Mum got the job at Columbia, while Less was in sixth form back in England, Leni was just starting secondary school and Giovanna still in junior school. Mum didn't want their schooling to be interrupted, so the girls stayed with their grandparents while Mum moved to the States. However, the one thing Mum hadn't thought of was that Less would still follow, although in a fit of individuality Less chose to apply to NYU instead of Columbia.

New York was rather new to Less, but it didn't scare her. Very little did, actually, and she adapted rather quickly. Something had piqued her interest by UDK when she'd looked into joining a sorority, as well. It wasn't the idea of getting out of the dorms, as she wasn't bothered by the dorms and her roommate there, but it was the fact it was different. It was an adventure, and one she wasn't going to turn down. Just as she hadn't turned down any of the other adventures she'd faced in life.
