When Will is arrested after being framed as the Copycat Killer, Alana refuses to believe he's evil and tries to help him, even adopting his dogs and caring for them during his incarceration.
She also wrote an article about him in a journal of criminal psychology and had two sessions with him two years ago. She doesn't date but hopes that someday she will and owns a dog named Applesauce.Īlana is one of Abel Gideon's only surviving psychiatrists, though she saw him mainly in court. She is romantically attracted to Will, even kissing him, but avoids having a relationship with him due to his mental instability. However, she has no qualms about assisting Margot in killing Mason.Īlana initially wants to avoid digging too deep into the subject of Will and his issues, trying to maintain their friendship and instead recommends her former mentor and now colleague Hannibal Lecter as a psychiatrist for Will. However, she still maintains her compassionate nature, forming a strong bond with Margot and later having a change of heart and helping Hannibal to escape Mason, though not until he promises he will save Will. Alana displays skills of manipulation and deception. She is driven largely by vengeance, seeking to kill Hannibal for what he did to her and those she cares about and is even willing to work with the likes of Mason Verger to achieve her aims. Alana proves herself to be courageous, choosing to stand and fight Hannibal rather than flee, though this backfires due to Hannibal anticipating this.Īfter her near-death experience in Season 2, Alana displays a darker, colder, and more cynical side. She is horrified by how badly she misjudged Hannibal's true nature, though as Hannibal points out, he is a master of deception and was doing everything in his power to keep her from seeing the truth. Although she is usually smart and perceptive, Alana can be stubborn and unwavering in her opinions when she believes she's right, which becomes problematic when she begins a relationship with Hannibal, utterly dismissing the idea that he could be the killer the FBI is searching for.
She disagrees with anything she views as unethical or potentially damaging to others, and so clashes with Hannibal over his unorthodox treatment methods and Crawford's use of Will to solve crimes despite his mental instability. Alana is confident in herself and her abilities, and more than capable of standing up both for herself and for others.
At the beginning of the series, Alana is shown to be an intelligent and compassionate woman, dedicated to her work and deeply concerned for others' well-being, in particular Will.
