Though she was only able to become good friends with him, she has a lingering physical and emotional attraction towards him since her childhood. Alice associates herself with all those that follow him, but resents those that go against him or turn their back on him.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]In Depth Appearance[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice consistently keeps a serious, though seductive expression -- her high cheekbones, arched brows, and plump lips adding to her alluring look with bright, hazel eyes that take on a slight almond-shape. Though she stands at 5'6, she generally wears rather tall heels to give her some extra inches as she enjoys towering over others. Her garments are beautifully embroidered and generally consist of tight corsets, cinching her waist to give a more womanly figure. Alice wears a fair amount of jewelry, but she will only wear ones with high sentimental value, or those of the highest quality.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Habits[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice has a bad habit of being easily-seduced, falling for those that are highly charismatic. Though her expectations in people are high, it is easy to pull her in when those expectations are met. Stemming from this, she has a habit of wanting to be seen higher than others, often competing with other women in her head and comparing herself to others. Alice also has a habit of intervening and involving herself in predicaments that will keep her status and reverence high. [/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Hobbies[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice has a strong hobby for swordsmanship, but she never truly engages in battle, nor does she have any designated armor or equipment(though she's trying to change this). She also exercises her hobby of singing frequently, partaking in events of operas whether it be watching or performing.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Likes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice likes traveling, being the center of attention(especially to men), music, being favored by the King, makeovers, and fashion.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Dislikes[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice dislikes being turned down, being seen as irrelevant, untrustworthy people, insects, lack of power, and disrespect.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Fears[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice strongly fears failure, which sometimes motivates her and keeps her determined, or it gets in the way from succeeding and clouds her judgement.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Personality[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice is a strong-willed, opinionated, and demanding individual, usually expressing respect only when she's respected.She is a big dweller of the past and holds grudges over people, especially those that cross her or humiliate her. Alice will relive moments in which she's embarrassed, humiliated, powerless, or weak and turn it into anger, resulting in a strong desire to get revenge on those that cause such feelings. She is an incredibly sore loser when it comes to certain situations such as losing a bet, failing to learn or understand something, or being one-uped. Alice is also very defensive of those that she cares about, sometimes going to extents of making great sacrifices for the safety of an individual. While Alice does have a very prissy nature, she is a very generous person, enjoying the feeling of giving to those in need and being honored for it in return. She holds a different kind of respect for those that are beneath her than those that are of or above her level, or rank, being kinder to those that are lower and being more stern with those that are equal or better.[/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Background[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice grew up as a free-spirited child, loving to run free and find unexplored areas, making her a rather mischevious child. She had no desire to be a powerful influencer to her kingdom until she became of age to understand the concept of ruling. Alice has always been used to being supported by the people for simply being born into a noble family, being rather spoiled at her early stages in life. Alice is one of three children in the Allaire family, having two older brothers that grew up scrutinizing her and lecturing her about what she shouldn't and should do. While her parents were close friends to the royal family, she grew up alongside the twin princes, favoring Edward more than Henry, but still befriending both. As Alice grew older, her first love interest was established, fantasizing about being the Queen to Edward soon after he was crowned. With this growing love interest, Alice made it a point to understand the laws of the land and really study the noble families and what effects they had on the country. While she was hopeful that she would become a strong influencer, her intentions changed. Initially, she wanted to be of enough significance that Edward would begin to notice her more, but her first few tastes of power and delving into the royal dramas shaped her power-craving and ruling personality. Alice, being smarter and more clever, began to make her role as a noble lady more apparent throughout the country, often giving certain necessities, such as food or materials, to small towns or counties that were in need to gain the favor of the people. Becoming seen as a Lady that helps those in need made her appreciated by many townsfolk and improved her reverence, becoming one of Abhainn's popular nobles. Although, throughout the royal court, many know of her dark side that consists of a now small, but growing, hunger for power and her ability to manipulate and lie. Some believe it's a good strategy to become relevant and climb the hierarchy ladder, while others believe it's a twisted way to fulfill her desires. As of late, Alice has been involving herself in many predicaments involving the royal court and seeing how far she can get in influencing the country's decisions to soon rise a woman of great power. Though, with little to no current controversies, Alice struggles to show her ruling prowess. Thus, with her desires getting the best of her, Alice seeks to rekindle the raging fires of battle and quarrels between the two kingdoms, strategizing many in-depth plots that will remind the nobles, civilians, and kings of their hatred towards each other. [/indent] [color=9e0b0f][b]| [u]Extra[/u] |[/b][/color] [indent]Alice commonly dreams of the future, wondering what kind of advances would happen hundreds of years down the line. Hopefully a better form of travel than horses...[/indent][/hider] Here's my CS~! I'm hoping it's okay, I ended up leaving and just got back home and wanted to just finish it up. Let me know if things don't add up or if I should change some things about her. ALSO! I'm not sure what model/actress I'm using o: Does anyone recognize her?
