Alessandra

Alessandra, is a human born to a family of slaves belonging to the Giants of Elbaf. Alessandra however was unfit to work for the giants themselves as she was born with what was thought to be a crippling disability, she was born blind. Alessandra however was revealed to be an incredibly charismatic young woman as despite her disability she was able to befriend several of her giant captors convincing them to allow her family their freedom. As she grew older, she became very respected in the land of the Giants, as she was able to use Haki.

History
The story of Alessandra begins in Elbaf. Where a seemingly frigiel baby was born the human slaves, who had served the giants for the vast majority of their adult lives in exchange for shelter, as was the case with nearly every human “living” in Elbaf. Alessandra was set to be no different after her birth, her future probably contained something of the political verity as no of the women in Elbaf where subject to the physical labor that the men were, alas those plans seemed as though they would not be able to come to fruition, as Alessandra was born with what many thought to be an impairment, as surely a blind women could not thrive let alone survive in the world where there was so much hate and violence. At first it looked as though those thoughts would prove to be correct, as the girl had struggled to adapt to life,being blind, simple tasks proved nearly impossible for her, be it walking, running, or even a task so fundamental as eating.

As Alessandra began to grow older, he desire to see the world also grew, she was sick of being in darkness so much the she grew to detest it, she hated it. She was quite the gifted painter, according to those who had viewed her art and her giant owner’s had sold several of her pieces for quite the large sums of money. As her desire to see continued to grow Alessandra began to see, only she couldn’t see in the traditional sense, she saw outlines of people, and things as if they were painted on a black canvas, as she has stated that she see’s people’s presence rather than seeing them. With her newfound “Sight” Alessandra, was quickly able to prove herself useful to the giants political aspirations, as well as serve as a diplomat for the normally secluded giants, giving them a presence in the world for the first time in seemingly ever. Due to the girls growing influence in Elbaf, she was able to convince the giant lords to free her family, as well as the rest of the humans in the country to which they agreed.

As she began to mature however the young empress to be, realized that Elbaf would never be respected as much as other countries in the because the liked an official and sufficient military and that was an issue that she understood would be needed to be rectified, quickly. She would take on the burden of heading a military by herself. Thus she had recruited a giant by the name of Dasthos, who was known as a particularly fierce giant warrior, unfortunately he was also on the last leg of his journey that is life and whatever he had to teach the young woman he would have to do so in a relatively short period of time. As Alessandra found out however, whilst his advanced age had made him more calm, and friendly, it had not lessened his gifts in the art of taking lives. He was also the one who was most influential in showing Alessandra that her blindness was not a hindrance. The training was brief, but it was also intense, as he taught her to embrace the battlefield as if it was a chessboard, plotting her move in advance to that of her opposition in order to ensure a swift death, as well a swift victory.

Upon the completion of her training, Alessandra had requested that the giants build her a ship worthy of a queen of Elbaf, as she was going to assert Elbaf as a country of might once more, whilst swearing damnation on any who stood in her way. As she prepared to set sail from Elbaf, in order to turn the country she had grown to call home, into a country to be feared by its enemies once more, she made several preparations. She recruited nearly every able bodied giant into her crew whilst ordering some to remain home in case the country should be invaded by anyone foolish enough to engage in a war with the giants.
