Alisa LaRoche

Alisa LaRoche, called Al by most, is the younger sister of Vincent LaRoche, Duke's right-hand-man at the Emporium. Vincent and Al were separated when they were younger by an attack on the family. After spending years thinking each other had died, the pair were reunited when they both wound up at Duke's place.

Al spent a few years helping out at Duke's, eventually making a life and falling in love with one of the travelling men who'd put down temporary roots at Duke's. When the urge to hit the road again struck him, he convinced Al to leave with him. Vincent and Al argued about her leaving; Vincent was loathe to see their small family split up when they didn't have to be. Al was headstrong and in love, however, and went with her beau despite Vincent's objections.

A few years have passed since then, and Al has recently returned to Duke's place, without her darling beau. She's been tight lipped about the circumstances of her return, but Duke doesn't seem to mind. He's put her back to work, this time as Quartermaster to help control the stock of armor and arms. Al and Vincent have worked out a tenuous truce for now, as there are more dire things to focus on right now than the old sibling rivalries. Still, putting the two of them in close quarters for any length of time is bound to incite a few fireworks.
