She is the sister of Jazlyn Parrott and Hailey Shepherd, and is the only sister not to be playable at the start of the game. She has 9 points in the cooking skill. It's worth noting that Alani is so far one of the only two Sims to have the strange combination of the Good and Mean-Spirited traits, the other being Neo Liang. With story progression on, Alani usually moves into a vacant lot, with two roommates, Li Lo, and Kalliopi Ellada.
