She is loyal to her country and keeps a close connection to family and friends.

Black Jack fought in the Army for his country and the King and did so without fear. When he meets Alessandra, and goes one on one with her over a episode with her daughter, he recognizes fear. Trying to save her daughter from a sure death, he ties her to a tree. Never has he heard such words come out of the mouth of an 8 year old, and her mother appears just as bad. He finds himself paired up with Alessandra on an archeology dig in Bath. Not only are they digging up items from an ancient empire, parts of their own past lives are being revealed. When a stranger from her past shows up, Alessandra has a couple of choices, go along with the plan, run and go into hiding again in order to save her daughter, or turn to Jack for help.
