Back Story
The Carrow House has never been a happy one. A close-minded, strict, and chiding one, instead. Even insignificant disobedience, minute errors, all were dealt with using harsh, painful consequences. "Tough love," if it was even that, is what Amycus and Alecto know. But although they are used to pain - the girl's constant inability to sit still and hold her tongue due to excitement or anxiety were common errors - they learned over the years that not everyone had that luxury.
Being on the delivering side of pain while at school became a need, an outlet, for a childhood of being unable to fight back. The two learned together and worked together - proudly, closely - but detentions and "well-meaning" talks with their daft Head of House hardly softened them by their exits. Alecto is quick to strike, quick-tempered, and sees herself as quick-witted. She is a literal person, quite easily offended, and adept enough at Dark Magic to convincingly get by within the ranks of Death Eaters. She is immature and loudly overconfident to cover-up any lapses in judgement or knowledge, any mistakes.
For Alecto, she needs people and definite purpose to direct her attentions to in order to get through each day. She has a manic, poorly-contained energy that is difficult for her to focus in on all but a few things. Her idols - the incredible Dark Lord, the beautiful and deadly Bellatrix Lestrange, and her dear brother - are her main conduits. What can she do to get better at her work for the Lord? How can she become more like Bellatrix, the main object of her infatuation - rise through the ranks and become just as respected and powerful, even though she's a woman? How can she and her brother become a better team?
As a child, as a teenager, Alecto could be swayed. She did not always have to have the last word - hex, really. She could be tolerable, dainty even if the punishment would be enough to ensure it. But shortly after joining the ranks and setting her sights on the top, exposure to and experience with what true darkness was - much different than the relatively juvenile pranks she and Amycus would indulge in - caused an irreversible shift within her. Now found impulsive and on-edge, she finds refuge from her scattered mind through her work, sarcasm, and finding new Death Eaters to toy with.
