Where is Alcyone in development?

I feel that Alcyone is developing pretty well. She has a very distinct presence in my head, with a sardonic sense of humor and a haunted sensibility about her. I hadn't known that St. Valentine was the patron saint of epileptics, which may call for a post from Alcyone regarding her condition, her lack of a "normal relationship", how her perception of time and reality affects her relationships with other people, and maybe some insight into her dynamic with poltergeist buddy Fachtna, or even her desire to have as much pink colored cake as she could possibly eat. I will need to do more research on epilepsy as well. I have some outside knowledge since two of my siblings are epileptic, but medical accuracy is a point to check.
She'll have some trouble coming her way later on. I intend that some aspects of her past and the people she left behind in Pikeville will catch up to her. Her parents are actively searching for her, and want to bring her back to the church, even if she really detests this idea and everything the church stands for. Will they be able to accept that she is an adult? Do they think that her neurological condition is reason to always treat her as unable to know what is really best for her? Will they still love her knowing she is not a Christian or will they disown her? Considering how controlling and manipulative they've been, did they love her in the first place?
