DEFINING FEATURES She's got several light scars scattered across her body--most of them are from combat, but a few were left by Amycus from the point at which they almost killed each other.
MANNER OF DRESS Running her own business has allowed Alecto's finances to grow, but she still not the richest of people, and doesn't otherwise care enough about clothes to go and spend a great deal of money on them. Mostly, she wears whatever she has as long as it looks decent, only stopping to buy a replacement when there's a hole or other problem with it.
H I S T O R Y ••• ○○○ caress the one, the never-fading rain in your heart, the tears of snow-white sorrow
BIRTHPLACE Edinburgh, Scotland
CURRENT RESIDENCE Diagon Alley, with Amycus in a flat above her apothecary.
FINANCES She does well enough for herself. You couldn't call Alecto middle class quite, but she does make a good living for herself, especially considering that she started her business from the ground up.
HISTORY Mid July of 1959 brought into the world the first child of Ambrus and Lyris Carrow, a daughter named Alecto. The Carrows lived, and thus Alecto grew up in, a large home in Edinburgh, Scotland befitting any good pureblooded family of their social status. Throughout her childhood, Alecto was privelaged and never able to truthfully say that she wanted for anything; that, coupled with the fondness she felt towards her younger brother of a year, Amycus, made her a generally happy and agreeable child. While she did have some dabblings and interest in the Dark Arts, Potions, and other subjects that would be considered less than girly, Alecto was generally accepted in her social circle to be a model child.
Going to Hogwarts was both easy and difficult for her. Alecto found it hard to cope with not having Amycus around her each day, but she also had no problem making a name for herself and gathering a rather sizeable group of friends around her. Her life seemed to be complete as her brother eventually made it to Hogwarts (in Slytherin like herself, naturally) along with her and her influence across the school continued to grow. She was making connections with the best, networking and controlling and becoming her own small sort of legend-but, as all good things, this moment in the sun was not to last.
At the beginning of her sixth year, Ambrus Carrow lost his high-paying Ministry job and the family was forced to move northeast or Douglas to a smaller cottage, no longer able to afford their extravagant lifestyle. Although this was kept very hush-hush for the great shame of losing their money, Alecto now had the burden of hiding their disgrace around Hogwarts for Amycus' sake. She had seen how much their father's misfortune had hurt him and swore that she would protect Amycus from then on out-even now, she harbors a fierce protectiveness of him and his feelings and won't let anything hurt him if she has her way of things.
Upon leaving school, Alecto used her self-sufficence and Slytherin ambition to open up her own business, an apothecary in Diagon Alley by the name of Agrippa's. Not long after that, Ambrus Carrow was found murdered (although it would not be for another year until she discovered that it was Amycus that had done the slaying) and Lyris left to live alone in the Carrows' neglected cottage. Alecto decided to take it upon herself, once Agrippa's was up and running well, to provide for her mother, even if she could only do so meagerly--she also grew much closer to her mother than she had been before, partially due to the fact that she was growing further and further apart from Amycus for their distance.
Her separation from her brother only got worse when at the end of his seventh year at Hogwarts he announced that he would be marrying Vivica Avery-in fierce jealousy (for the two siblings had been, and continued to be, romantically involved to an extent), Alecto swore to talk Amycus out of his decision. Several times the topic came up, the result ranging anywhere from shagging in the kitchen afterwards to nearly killing each other. In the end, however, they overcame their differences as Grayson Wilkes discovered their affections for one another and used them as blackmail to get the previously neutral Alecto to join the ranks of the Death Eaters. While they thought their secret's leak would end at that, months later an unknown source allowed slip to Vivica the involvement of the siblings, and thus Alecto's wish was granted--Amycus' fiancée broke off their engagement.
