Personality
Alya talks in a dignified and refined matter to anyone she meets. If someone makes her angry she typically speaks to them in a civil tone, even when directing insults towards someone else. Her speech pattern can come off as regal sometimes, which is fitting considering her family.
When furious or highly emotional, Alya’s speech reverts back to what it was when she was younger. Being part Bijou makes her speech tend to be more garbled unless she concentrates enough to talk normally. If she gets to know someone a little more, she seemingly drops her guard down and is a little less formal with them. Overall she seems like a kind, polite girl who gets along with others well.
Under the surface lurks her true nature. Alya is unable to feel any empathy towards another individual. Part of it likely stems from the fact that her bijou biology makes her unable to feel most types of pain, although most other Bijou aren’t emotionally disconnected to the degree that she is. She has a sadistic streak within her, enjoying inflicting pain onto others. Alya grew up not knowing what love is, and is unable to comprehend such things as comradery.
Despite that, she doesn’t enjoy fighting that much. She views it as undignifying, and doesn’t like exposing her true nature unless she has to. While she isn’t patient by nature, she is able to show restraint and take her time if she has to Her lack of a moral compass and her ambition makes her one of the more dangerous individuals to cross.

Backstory
Alya Garnet Mana was born as an only child to a single parent, who would eventually become known as Lady Mana. She grew up with only a single parent, as her father had vanished before she was born. For the first few years of her life her mother was very involved in her upbringing.
Then Alya showed signs of the speech impediment that her father suffered from. Lady Mana, pursuing a career in politics, didn't spend a lot of time with her daughter, choosing instead to focus on her career. She knew it would be a lot of extra work given Alya's impediment. So she hired various people to look after her and help her with her speech problem.
Unfortunately she had not fully learned to speak normally by the time she entered elementary school. Alya got singled out for it by the bullies of the class. She seemed to take the torment in stride. They occasionally beat her up when no one was around. This remained undetected due to her biology. No matter how many times they hit her, she didn't show any physical harm to her body. It did seem to hurt her a little bit, but not nearly as much as other kids.
This continued for about a month Alya didn't report it and just tolerated it. One day her class got taken on a field trip to one of the space ports to learn about space travel. Alya snuck off from the group and went off on her own. Her tormentors went and tailed her, thinking they could easily torment her.
About 20 minutes after that, a small explosion rocked the facility. The rest of the class was taken along the evacuation path. Eventually rescuers brought back a sobbing Arya. Apparently a fuel tank had ruptured and started a blaze. All of the bullies had died in the blaze. Arya seemed unhurt though, despite her clothes being in absolute tatters.
Arya was absent from school the next few days, presumably to get therapy for what she went through. To her teacher's surprise, she acted like nothing had happened. Her teacher at the time pulled her aside during recess to talk with her alone. When asked if she was alright Alya insisted that she was fine.
“Alya, you've been through a traumatic experience. You were hurt and watched some of your classmates… you're not fine. If there's anything you need, let me know.”
Alya just stared at her with her red eyes. What she said next made the teachers blood run cold.
“Don't worry. They were mean. I’m not sad.”
With that, Alya went off to recess, leaving the teacher to ponder her strange behavior. She eventually shrugged it off as Alya coping with it in her own way. The idea that a kid would kill people she didn't like, much less come up with a thought out plan to carry it out was outlandish to say the least.
Her early years had been marred with struggling with her speech impediment and status as a social outcast. She eventually turned that around in her later years, becoming the ideal student with her own circle of friends. She got a degree in chemistry and became a researcher at a company known as Spedic. It's motto: “Dedication to speedy recoveries.” Ayla climbed through the ranks quickly. Not only was she talented, but misfortune befell every person above her as she climbed the ladder. One person died, another had compromising information of an affair released that forced them to resign. These things kept happening, and in just four years, Ayla was the head of the research and development division.
Alya wanted more than that though. She had come to the conclusion that one should be able to rise as high as their abilities dictated them, no matter the cost to everyone around them. Her ambition stemmed far beyond what she already had. Spedic was a company that formed contracts with the military, and researched into bio-enhancements. She has access to the archives of past experiments. She discovered the Zenom Virus, a substance that had become forbidden due to the adverse effects it had on the subject. Alya saw this as an opportunity to spread her influence further. If she could develop it further and spread it out, then perhaps one day she could control everything, as well as eliminate useless things such as pain. Planet Brench could one day be hers, forever.
She couldn’t just run the experiments on the planet. She didn’t want the galactic patrol or anyone else tracing this back to her. Fortunately her mother had put a strict immigration policy into place. All she had to do was secretly ship the virus offworld and onto the black market. It was a fairly simple task, given her connections. And she kept track of each sale of the virus. The latest batch had been sent to Sadal. Wanting to see the fruits of her labors, she set out to go to the planet to see the results on one of the more significant planets.
