Alejandro can’t remember a time before Yzma. She found him when he was a child. Plucked him out of one of the numerous orphanages on the Isle and took him home. Said it was because of his size. He was always a stocky kid. Hefty is what the people in Auradon used, when they wanted to be kind. Instead of just saying fat. She said he’d make a good henchmen some day. Since she seemed to go through them at an alarming rate, she had decided it would be best to find them young, get as much use out of them as she could. Alejandro didn’t really like the idea of being a future puppet for Yzma, but she fed him. Kept a roof over his head, so he figured he’d keep his mouth shut if he wanted to keep his life the way it was. Which was better than most saw on that godforsaken island.
It was when she got sick that things began to change. Maybe she was realizing just how old she had become. Or maybe she realized she didn’t have much to show from her life. Whatever it was, Alejandro was thankful for it. She began to teach him the art of potion making. Shared her secrets for the perfect love potion, or the different ways to create a traceless poison. Of course he didn’t have access to magic on the Isle, so the potions only did so much, but it was enough to build his skill. And pick up some extra cash with a black market potion business. Again, the potions only did so much, but people would believe pretty much anything when they were desperate enough. And Alejandro was a good fucking salesman. He was able to play the con, make people believe his potions would turn their clothes into gold with his words… and on the off chance they decided to come back and pick a fight when they didn’t get what they wanted, he was able to hold his own. He might not have taken the job as Yzma’s henchman, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t fit the bill.
A few weeks before being invited to Auradon was when Yzma passed, and of course it affected Alejandro. She had given him a good life, better than most people got on the Isle. If she was still around, maybe he would’ve turned down the offer to leave that hell hole behind. But she wasn’t, and he knew he could do better. He had put her before him for his entire childhood, and now he was going to put himself first. Hopes and dreams weren’t really something you had growing up as a VK, so the idea of a potential future is kind of new for him. That being said, Alejandro wants to take Auradon for all it has to offer, even if some of those things are a little out of reach. He’ll find a way to get them.
positive: charismatic, confident, resourceful
negative: boisterous, temperamental, abrasive
Alejandro has always liked being the center of attention. He didn’t get much of it when he lived in the orphanage, and while Yzma thought of him as more of a son in her later years, in the beginning it was almost like he was gum beneath her shoe. Like she was putting up with him for the long run and he was just a nuisance for the time being. It was through sales pitch after sales pitch, making people believe what he wanted them to, that the boy realized he might have some kind of talent. And maybe that’s what drew him to sign up for drama club. He never really thought of himself as an actor, but it made sense. And he was good at it. Maybe in one day he could show up in a show on the tv, not because he was wanted and missing in action.
Alejandro isn’t close with a lot of people, but if you were able to worm your way into his heart then he’d remain loyal no matter what. And the few of the people he may have lost contact with, or just plain lost, have been commemorated somewhat in tattoos. He’s got at least four on his arm, the biggest one on his bicep and moving into his shoulder to commemorate Yzma herself. It might’ve been a give/take relationship, with him generally giving, but she’s still the closet thing to a mom he’s ever had.
He’s been back to the Isle a total of two times since getting off, and it was only to visit the orphanage he once grew up in. Bring some of the money he was able to save up and help give the kids some decent clothes or food. He’s been thinking of talking to the king about bringing the orphans into Auradon. Obviously they’ll have more opportunities here, and it’s not like it’ll be hard to get some of the royals to adopt the kids from the Isle. We all know how much rich people love someone they see as a charity case.
The Tenacious: Most on the Isle speculated the true nature of the relationship between The Braggart and The Tenacious. The two were never seen without each other, always attached at the hip if they were out in public. Some unknown parties mistook the two for siblings, while other were convinced they were romantic partners. The truth? They’re a regular Bonnie and Clyde. Thieves and partners in crime that often found themselves hooking up after a case that had them high on adrenaline, sometimes other things. They’ve come to Auradon to get away from The Isle, and start a better life the only way they really know how. Together.
The Socialite: The Braggart has nothing to gain or lose from being in Auradon, except maybe causing a bit of chaos and ending up back on The Isle. But the Isle didn’t treat The Braggart as bad as it did others, so even that idea isn’t that big of a threat. Which is probably why The Braggart has every intention of getting close to The Socialite and stealing their mother’s wand. Talk about causing a little chaos. But first they have to get on The Socialite’s good side, and The Braggart will do anything they need to do to achieve that.
The Pyromaniac: The Pyromaniac is one of actions, not words, which is often why they found The Braggart to be so irksome. The Braggart liked to tell all of their accomplishments, but The Pyromaniac never saw any proof, and had no problem calling The Braggart out on it. Obviously this meant the two often butted headed, or fists. The fighting scene on the Isle was legendary, and these two were seen opposing each other in the ring more than anyone else.
