Councillor Alina (formerly Dame Alina) was the former principal of Foxfire, and a current member of the Elvin Council. Sophie mentioned how Alina was not that bad when she was Foxfire Principal previously but was however overshadowed by the powers of a Councillor; sometimes becoming arrogant of her power. Alina also loved Alden but was rejected by him.
Appearance[]
She has porcelain skin, fragile features, and dark brown hair with caramel-colored highlights. Unlike the rest of the councillors, she does not have a portrait in Book 8.5: Unlocked. According to her, this is because "none have captured her beauty properly".
Personality[]
Councillor Alina is quick to share her opinion but not so quick to accept others. She is depicted as vain and slightly cold. She can sometimes overreact, as she does in Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities, when Keefe Sencen pranks her office. This hints she does not have a sense of humor. When she was still Foxfire Principal, she is power hungry and desperate for a better, wealthier position. When she becomes a Councillor, she seems to get even more arrogant and enjoys her power immensely.
History[]
Pre-Keeper[]
During Alden and Della Vacker's wedding, she interrupted and tried to convince Alden to marry her but ended up getting rejected. It is said she had never fully gotten over him after they had dated a while back.
Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities[]
She introduced Sophie Foster on her first day at Foxfire. She also discussed Sophie's punishment for probing Lady Galvin's mind with Tiergan Alenefar and Alden in her office.
Book 3: Everblaze[]
She was elected Councillor after Councillor Kenric died.
Book 4: Neverseen[]
In Neverseen, Sophie thinks she might have used her talent as a Beguiler to hurt Prentice Endal because he was unconscious and wouldn't wake up. This was later disproven, as Prentice had been drugged with soporidine. She was also supportive of Sophie going to Exillium.

Stance[]
Despite seeming supportive when she was Sophie’s principal, Councillor Alina has openly sided against Sophie numerous times. Currently, her feelings towards Sophie are similar to that of the majority of the Councillors, strongly disliking, but not entirely hating Sophie Foster and her friends.
Quote[]
“Foxfire is about more than just a top-notch education. It's about helping our youth find their place in this world. Discovering where they belong. And it is our goal that by the time they complete their studies, they're not only ready to handle whatever life throws at them—but to truly know who they are.”
Relationships[]
Alden Vacker[]
Alina has a crush on Alden, but Alden doesn't return her feelings. In fact, he is "slightly" terrified of her. She attempted to stop the wedding between him and Della but did not succeed, as Alden rejected her multiple times, and even multiple times before the wedding.
Keefe Sencen[]
- Former Student
Keefe Sencen was the worst prankster in Foxfire. When Keefe started pranking at Foxfire, Alina would constantly give out detentions. However, she began to sympathize him after meeting Lord Cassius and Lady Gisela Sencen, Keefe’s parents. Alina saw how up tight and mean they were to Keefe and began to understand why he pranked, which was to have a release from his parents. She wrote this in Keefe’s detention file, "The Sencens are the worst. In fact, I think that's why Keefe is giving me so many headaches. I suspect he's trying to frustrate them." Knowing that still didn't stop her from giving him detentions, though.
Sophie Foster[]
- Former Student
Even though she was known to be kind to Sophie as her principal, as a Councillor she has been shown to dislike her and consistently vote against her.
Della Vacker[]
- Enemy
Della married Alden, and Alina clearly did not like that. As a result, she holds grudges against her.
Councillors[]
Works with the Councillors as an active member of the Council.
Trivia[]
- Alina is the only Beguiler in the Council and mentioned in the entire Keeper of the Lost Cities Series.
- Alina's circlet gem is a Peridot, a green gem. In Everblaze she said she picked it becuase it was the color of life.
- In Legacy, when two councillors were helping each child in Team Valiant, Alina and Councillor Zarina helped Stina Heks adjust to the role in Team Valiant. When paired with Alina, Stina, as Sophie thought, "looked none too pleased being partnered with her former principal."
- Alina is very vain as she used to have many mirrors and reflective surfaces in her Foxfire office. In having an official council painting, Alina has none as she said, "None have captured my beauty properly."
- The name Alina means "light" and/or "Independent; strong-willed" in Slavic.
