alina, born in new york before her family moved to palmview, was always reserved as a child, preferring her own company as opposed to children her age. it wasn't anything noteworthy, but she was shy, and found it hard to reach out if others didn't reach out first. the move was hard on her as well, and she struggled to fit in.
(parental death tw) alina first shouldered responsibility at the age of seven, when her father passed away and left behind his wife and three daughters. it was a heavy, confusing time for the heo's, made worse by the fact alina's mother coped by spending nights away from home. at seven, alina learned to be mother, father, and sister.
their family business of tailoring was on the rocks. they weren't at all established in the community yet, and alina's mother was making no effort to do well in the work she had received. alina, in desperate need, taught herself everything she could learn about sewing and tailoring, letting her mother take orders before she fulfilled them herself. it was hours and hours of work, late nights and candlelight, but it was work that paid off.
as soon as she graduated high school, alina took over the tailoring shop full time, putting the money earned towards her sisters' college education. she wants them to live worry-free, unlike her, and is more than willing to shoulder the burden so they can enjoy themselves.
"i think that's crooked," leon says as he sips his coffee. he's helping someone hang a picture on the wall, his virgo perfectionism and honesty make him pretty good at this.
" you're crooked, " comes rapid-fire reply, said all too quickly despite the fact that diana spots the slight angle the picture was leaning into. she adjusts it with a touch, peering over her shoulder with expectant hands. " is this better ? or does it need to go more to the left ? "

diana grew up in palmview her entire life, having been adopted out to the stellato family for reasons unknown to her - and reasons she doesn't care to discover. best described as a firecracker, or a candle next to an oil tank, diana may have been given everything on a silver platter her whole life but not without the right upbringing to make sure it was worth it. well - spoken but quick to temper, her parents wanted the best for their little girl, indulging in her whims within reason.
in school, she was best known as the girl who was quick to stand up to injustice, butting in where she could, and coming from the stellato family -- well known in the palmview upper echelon -- well, it never hurt her chances at getting a bully to back down. this confrontational nature carried her in debate teams, even bringing them to nationals. it boosted her placement for college as well, and she secured a place in-state to study international law before graduating and coming back to palmview to take a deserved break.
currently working as a live performer at groove cafe, diana spend her shifts singing and picking up requests, and never missing an opportunity to defend baristas from overbearing customers. she's torn between pursuing her studies abroad, which is what her parents want, or to continue them near home.
