Special Pokemon eggs magically ending up among trainers' possessions (or even at the foot of their sleeping bags!) has been a longstanding tradition on holidays. The very first time this happened, it was on a cold, dark Christmas Eve and the egg bequeathed to Heather wound up hatching into the frighteningly-relevant species known as Absol. Was Heather a little freaked-out at how well it fit? Yes. Yes, she was.
Alessa, named for obvious reasons, was raised with loving care and is fiercely devoted to her trainer. Unfortunately, to anyone other than Heather, her personality can only be interpreted as somber and pessimistic. Then again, given the unfortunate superstitions surrounding her species, perhaps it's not surprising that she's so mistrustful of strangers. Her namesake was also, after all, a gifted-but-misunderstood girl met with scorn and cruelty wherever she went.
Although most Pokemon are fairly protective of their trainers (and Heather's are no exception), Alessa takes it to another level. Very much a "one person" Pokemon, she maintains a stone-cold iciness towards anyone she deems the slightest bit fishy and lives by the philosophy of 'Expect the worst, that way you'll never be disappointed'. Fully aware of this, Heather frequently travels with Alessa at her side rather than Cujo when she's feeling less-than-confident about her personal safety. Because... yeah. Although Cujo's size might be more intimidating, chances are the more-serious (and more-intelligent) Absol is a more accurate indicator of threats than the perpetually-goofy Growlithe who literally loves everbody.
On the other hand, she regretfully abstains from taking Alessa with her anywhere she knows there will be a lot of people, because nothing chills the atmosphere of a party like a Pokemon associated with impending doom glaring balefully at anyone who approaches you.
Of course, it's possible with effort to gain a little of her trust, and people/Pokemon close to Heather are usually grudgingly accepted, but if one of said close people should happen to break that trust? Oh, honey. You got a big storm comin'. It's been five years and Alessa still hasn't forgiven Godzilla for the Chomp Incident.
