Story

Blank Slates

Escape Attempts

Alana is first seen after Mildew wakes up in the Developer's Grove. She celebrates being able to escape The Void, but is promptly killed by the Droogle Leader, sending her back to the void with his sword. After Shadow Mari sends beams of Shadow through the void, bringing it to life, Alana makes her way to The Next Chapter Village and meets up with Nolan, Fiora, and Lambert.

Alana begins to complain about not being able to successfully ascend into the Developer's Grove, and eventually complains about not being relevant to the Drawn to Life Series. She calls out Fiora and Lambert for being leftover in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter instead of being cut entirely. Lambert gets mad at her and beings to shout, prompting Mayo to fly over to the group and ease tensions. She tries to ascend one more time, but when she fails, she gets fed up with her friends and drives off. On her way out, she notices the group leave to go get her a gift.

Wandering The Next Chapter Village

Eventually, she gets stopped by Rocko, Fox, and Jinxy. They ask her if she knows where Fiora and Lambert are, so she points them towards the group. Mayo joins the four and asks what they're doing, but before they can answer, a page of the village begins to turn, causing all the beings to panic. Alana fears for Nolan's safety, so she, along with Rocko, Fox, Jinxy, and Mayo, go to the other side of the village and meets up with him at Hans's seam shop. She tells him, along with Fiora, Lambert, and Hans, to jump off the page. Immediately after this however, the group notices Crawler and his army approach the group. In a panic, Fiora tosses Alana a dress that Hans had made her, along with a new phrase she could use to ascend to the Dev Grove. Before a fight can break out between the two parties, Willham sweeps over the group, erasing the village along with Fox, Lambert, Hans, and Crawler's army.

Fighting the Bosses

During Willham's attack, Alana successfully ascended into the Dev Grove and watched as the Droogles arranged the Grove for their coup. She is caught by a Droogle and is sent back to the void. However, she alerts the Droogle Leader to her presence, which lets him prepare for war. She reappears and finds the Four Guardians locked in a battle with Dinofrog. Hose notices her and gives her a brief rundown on the events that had transpired earlier. She stands back from the fight and watches as Jinxy, Nolan, and Fiora run after Drakon, but eventually hears Paint mention the Droogle Killer, drawing her attention. She is told to go to the Drawn to Life Village to find it.

When she arrives at the village, she finds the Droogle Killer laying on the ground. As she approaches, the ground begins to shake, and the Droogle Killer wakes up. She asks if it is the Droogle Killer, and after hearing the word "Droogle" it begins to get agitated. Alana continues to rile it up and tells it to direct its anger towards Dinofrog. The Droogle Killer picks up Alana and puts her on its shoulder and then begins to walk towards the boss. Eventually, it throws the tree it was holding at the monster, but Willham deletes the monster before the tree can hit it. Unaware that Willham intervened, the Droogle Killer thinks that it destroyed the monster and celebrates. Alana then directs it towards the Shadow Hole so it can defeat Drakon.

At The Shadow Hole

When they get to the Shadow Hole, Alana has a brief reunion with Nolan and then guides the Droogle Killer towards Drakon. Shortly after this, Shadow Mari summons her army of cut Shadow and Ink monsters, so the Droogle Killer defeats some of them on the way to Drakon. After Drakon dives into the Shadow Hole, the Droogle Killer sets Alana down and dives in after him. Shadow Mari calls off her army, and Alana is able to regroup with her friends. Suddenly, she hears Mayo call out to Shadow Mari, urging her to kill Willham. This causes Alana, along with everyone else still in the void, to question where Mayo's allegiances lied. Mayo suddenly breaks down, yelling at the beings for not appreciating her, eventually ending with her collapsing on the ground.

Mayo's Death

After this Alana is approached by Joe, Franco, and Mildew. the three ask her how to ascend, and she tells them that all they need is a mantra. The three begin to ascend back to the Dev Grove, but suddenly, Droogles begin to appear in the void. Joe and Mildew ascend successfully, but a Droogle knocks Franco out of his ascension and back into the void. Alana watches as the Droogle Killer pops back into the void and is killed by Willham and Shadow Mari, who then grab the Droogle Leader and fly into the Shadow Hole, permanently closing it. Alana then goes to check up on Franco with Flash and Hose. Hose asks Franco to let them all stay alive in the void, so Franco says he'd talk to Joe about it. He ascends and Alana joins Nolan, Fiora, Jinxy, and Rocko.

Eventually, Willham and Shadow Mari reappear in the void and bring back everything that Willham or the Bosses had destroyed, including Fox, Lambert, Hans, and Crawler's army. The group that went through this fight all join together and wish Alana, now Aly, luck in Drawn to Life: Two Realms. She ascends one last time and is used in Two Realms as Aly.

Self-Awareness

After some time in Drawn to Life: Two Realms, Aly, with no memories of her time in the void, decides to jump down the Belleview well. She falls into the Dev Grove and ask Joe and the Droogle Leader where she is, and if they are Raposa. Joe laughs and stabs her with the Droogle Leader's Sword, sending her back into the void. She is met with her old friends, including Nolan, Fiora, and Sandal. As Sandal licks her, she remembers more and more of her time in the void, something Shadow Mari catches onto. She blasts Aly with a beam of Shadow, restoring all of her memories, exciting her friends.

Aly is then pulled aside by the screeners, being recruited for a mission to find GenericChallenge. She accepts the mission and returns to Belleview, but sees Salem Rose attacking the Droogle Leader on her way out.

Called By The Screeners

While living in Belleview, both she and Franco Key were called back into the Developer's Grove by Shadow Mari and Joe. After a brief reunion, Joe tells them that the Droogle Leader had run away with his sword, and that they couldn't return to the void. Joe then asks them to find Jeremiah Slaczka, who had left into Belleview after the development of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. Franco asks who he disguised himself as, and Joe reveals that he was Mr. Row, Mike's father who had died in the car accident. After adopting the persona of Lyrica, Aly is sent to 2007 to find him.

Lyrica

Back in Belleview with Daniel James - David Franco's disguise in 2007 - the two of them go to Mike's house. They are met by Uncle Owen, who explains that the Rows had already left for the carnival. The two of them thank Owen for the tip, telling him that they were cops who wanted to carpool with the Rows as they leave. They then find Shadow Mari waiting inside a car, and the two of them get inside and drive to the carnival.

When they arrive, Lyrica spots the Rows entering the carnival, and watch as Mr. Row splits away from his family and delivers a box of Raposa dolls to a Carnival Attendant. The two of them walk up to Mr. Row after he delivers the dolls, but he doesn't remember either of them. Lyrica decides to run back and get some Shadow to restore his memories, but when Lyrica splashes the Shadow on him and his memories are not restored, the two of them realize that they had found GenericChallenge, simply masquerading as Mr. Row.

While Daniel James pulls GenericChallenge aside and interrogates him about the whereabouts of Mr. Row, Lyrica distracts Mrs. Row, Heather, and Mike by offering to pay for a round of carnival games. She pays the same Carnival Attendant and watches as Heather wins her Mari doll, while Mike loses the game. Upset, Lyrica asks to buy a Jowee doll, but when the Attendee refuses, she instead steals someone else's game, winning the Jowee doll and giving it to Mike.

Finding Miah

Daniel James is unable to get anything out of GenericChallenge, so they take him back to the Developer's Grove. While in the Grove, Joe, Willham, and Franco interrogate him properly and find that the real Mr. Row was trapped in his basement by GenericChallenge. Daniel James, Lyrica, Shadow Mari, and GenericChallenge then return to 2007 to rescue Miah and bring him back to the Developer's Grove after telling him their situation. After bringing Miah back, Alana watches as he creates the Stylus, and she returns to his current Belleview as Aly once again.

What’s up?” –Alana “All I remember is talking to Mike about scene art, and then all of a sudden everything went dark. I don’t know how the void experience was for you guys, but I remember it all. I sat for a while until eventually I heard Mildew repeating a line, so I did the same thing. I thought as hard as I could and then bam, I’m in the grove.” –Alana “Are you okay? That was a pretty high fall.” –Alana “Well, I guess it’s time to get comfortable and wait for a bit. Do yall need to go talk to Mayo or anything?” –Alana “The void is nice and all, but I still want to be known. I want fans and haters, stuff that the void can’t offer.” –Alana “I don’t think I’m going to go by Alana up there. Aly has a better ring to it. Plus, if the fans really have seen me talking to Mike, then I’ll be two different characters in their eyes! Twice the love!” –Aly “I promise. Fio, you take care of that pet now, and if you see Hans, tell him I said thanks for the threads!” –Aly

“Tony can be such a jerk sometimes.” –Aly “Woah, there’s an entire village at the bottom of this well! Oh hey, check you out!” –Aly “That’s a good one Joe. But seriously, where are we?” –Aly “Woah! Woah! Personal space! Who and what are you people?” –Aly “This must be where Mike went then! You guys are Raposa, aren’t you? Mike has some dolls of two of you in his room!” –Aly “I’m sorry, I don’t think I understand anymore. What’s happening here?” –Aly “Back in the void? Is this not my first time here?” –Aly “I’m gonna be honest and say I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I will say that you look kind of familiar.” –Aly “Maybe I have some food on my leg or something? Nolan, can you check it for me?” –Aly “Well, I couldn’t remember, then…Sandal licked me. Wait, more is coming back to me I think!” –Aly “Oh my god, that was so cold!” –Alana “Well, if me having memories of a book almost killing me, riding a giant monster, and fighting a war around a bottomless pit means it worked, then yeah, it worked.” –Alana “Alright, I’ll see what I can do, but what happens if I lose my memories again?” –Alana “Then a deal’s a deal. I’ll keep up the Aly act until Two Realms is over, and then if I see GenericChallenge, I’ll let you know.” –Alana “Right about now actually. Willham and Shadow Mari have me on an espionage mission, so that’s cool. But hey, don’t worry about me! I’m keeping my memories this time for sure.” –Alana “Just keep repeating those lines and everything will be fine. Look for the rouge code and report back. Don’t worry about that Raposa with the shadow. Everything’s gonna be ok in the long run…right?” –Alana

“Y’know, no matter how much time goes by, he still won’t finish that damn scene art.” –Aly “Who did he disguise himself as?” –Aly “I like this plan, but I have one question. We’re both established in 2012 Belleview, so how are we gonna blend in in 2007 Belleview?” –Aly “Ooooh these are nice! Thanks girl!” –Lyrica “Mr. Owen. We’ll head down to the carnival now and find him. Thank you though!” –Lyrica “Oh, we are cops! Deputy Snyder gave us the night off to go see the carnival! We were hoping to meet up with the Rows here so we could carpool, but I guess Mr. Row forgot.” –Lyrica “Alright, let’s sweep the area for the Rows, and when we find them, let’s wait until Mrs. Row takes the kids for a bit.” –Lyrica “I’m Alana, but you probably know me as Aly. You didn’t create me, but that’s not important right now. We’re locked out of the void.” –Lyrica “Please just wait here for a moment, and we can explain everything.” –Lyrica “Mr. Row! Sir! Now do you remember?” –Lyrica “I understand your confusion, but I’m afraid I can’t reveal anything at the moment.” –Lyrica “If it’s alright with your mother, I’d be happy to pay for a few games to make up for this whole thing.” –Lyrica “I’ll be paying for these two. One game for each of ‘em.” –Lyrica “How much to just buy one of the dolls that guy gave you?” –Lyrica “Please sir! You don’t understand how much I need that doll!” –Lyrica “Fine then! If you’re gonna play that game–” –Lyrica “I guess I must be psychic. Or maybe I just have really good intuition.” –Lyrica “Don’t worry ma’am! We’ll have him back to you before you head home tonight!” –Lyrica “He does?! Deputy Snyder is innocent?! Then how come I was supposed to blame him?” –Alana “We did! Turns out he forgot to bring some stuff he was going to give us, so we’re here to help him carry it out!” –Lyrica “He just had a bit too much to drink at the carnival. There’s a whole back tent that just has homemade lagers!” –Lyrica “Not so fast. We’re not done with you yet.” –Lyrica “Sir, I can’t let you just leave! We need your help! Hey Shadow Mari? Can you come here for a second? We need your help.” –Lyrica “Actually sir, these two are free to roam around as they please. It’s a matter of getting the screeners back into the void to solve a bunch of problems in the villages.” –Alana “It’s nothing too bad. Just close your eyes and wait for it to feel like you’re upside-down. That’s how you know you’re almost there.” –Lyrica “A little extra? What does that mean?” –Alana
