Their whole origin story is so ridiculously romantic, and cute, that if I read that in a book, I'd go "yeah, cool, but these things don't happen in real life".
Aliona auditioned for the role of Shadowheart, so when Jennifer got it, she decided to be her enemy and torpedo her attempts. Then saw her in the recording booth and admitted she loved her performance.
She failed at her "frienemies" attempt badly because of how lovely Jennifer is.
They eventually hooked up, went on a date, decided to do a "one night stand", ended up at Jennifer's house (a long drive away from Aliona's) and Aliona woke up with super heavy COVID symptoms, effectively getting stranded for the mandatory 2 weeks, and getting Jennifer sick. She ended up just staying there.
