- —Alanza's character description in the game
Alanza Alves was a witch who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1980's as an exchange student from the Brazilian wizarding school Castelobruxo.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Alanza was born into a prominent Brazilian wizarding family. She attended Castelobruxo. During her first year she got lost in the jungle surrounding Castelobruxo Castle and survived off nothing but rain and ants. She was always musically gifted and could play nine different instruments. When she first started school music was her comfort. She used to play in a band. When Alanza applied to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as an exchange student, the Headmaster of Castelobruxo jokingly remarked that the school was going to be a lot quieter with her gone.

Hogwarts Years (1989-1991)[]
Year Six[]
Alanza arrived at Hogwarts at the start of her sixth year. In the Headmaster's Office, Professor Dumbledore introduced her to the Main Character and requested that they be Alanza's tour guide to show her around Hogwarts and introduce her to classmates and professors in order to help her get settled and adapt to life at Hogwars. The Main Character accepted the request and suggested that they visit the Training Grounds first where Alanza was introduced to Talbott Winger and Badeea Ali, who agreed to keep the Circle of Khanna a secret from her. However, after a slip of the tongue from Badeea, Alanza finds out about the Circle, which left her confused. Believing it to be a club, she eagerly asked to join, before the Main Character changed the subject and brought her to Potions class, where she was introduced to Severus Snape, Irma Pince and Argus Filch. Noticing the lack of enthusiasm from the 3 staff members, Alanza asks if all the professors were this grumpy at Hogwarts, saying that at Castelobruxo, all of her professors smile. Filch noted his dislike to Mrs. Norris pretty quickly, but to the surprise of everybody, the cat took a liking to Alanza and affectionately rubbed herself against her legs. The arrival of other students prompted the start of the class, where Alanza took the seat where Rowan Khanna used to stay, as she unaware of his passing. This caused a few students to stare at her, leaving her confused to if she'd done something wrong. The Main Character then tried to explain that's where their best friend used to sit, before being reached by Merula and Professor Snape starting the class.
After the lesson, Alanza overheard Merula and the Main Character discussing the Circle of Khanna again, which caused her to ask to join it once more. Before explaining to Merula why Alanza knew the name of the organisation, they mentioned that they were invited by Hagrid to his garden. After meeting Hagrid, he explained the creatures in his garden started causing troubles and needed to be calmed down. Alanza managed to calm every single one as they came to her, and Hagrid claimed she was an amazing magizoologist, to which Alanza responded saying she just knows how to talk to them. Hagrid properly introduced himself to Alanza and asked her how she felt about Hogwarts. She said she was enjoying it and said it'd be even better if she was allowed in the Circle of Khanna, which left Hagrid confused. He asked Alanza to let him talk to the Main Character for a second, so she left them alone for a few minutes. After returning to them, the Main Character brought Alanza to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, where Alanza was properly introduced to Merula, and met the Haywood sisters and Ismelda Murk. Alanza was then finally informed about what the Circle of Khanna truly was, and upon learning of Rowan's murder at the hands of Patricia Rakepick, she immediately gave her condolences.
