Bio/Personality:
The first three years of Allison's life were with her natural parents, Ellie and Derrick Reid, who were still in college when they met. They married in their prime, both looking forward to an easy, happy life together. Unfortunately, fate was not so kind. Carefree at first, Ellie gave up the wilder side of college life of partying, choosing to instead drop out and focus on working to take care of her new family. Derrick didn't let go so easily. As a result, the lifestyle didn't let go of him either. After graduating and moving into a small one-bedroom apartment with his wife, he and his is "buddies" started meeting at bars instead of on campus. When he found out his wife was expecting a child, Derrick tried to quit. After a few attempts, he gave up trying and let alcoholism embrace him. A young Allison rarely saw her father sober.

When she was four, he thought it would be funny to let her take a shot of whisky with him. She threw up most of it and was in the hospital for several days afterwards. Ellie drew the line there and told Derrick that either he went to AA and stayed there until he was clean or she was gone. Derrick, who was hammered at the time, threw a half-empty bottle at her head. It left a scar on her forehead that she still has to this day. Ellie filed charges and won, denying Derrick of full custody and moving out.

Starved for cash, Ellie moved into a small house with a close relative, who let them stay there on the condition that Ellie go back to college and finish her education. She accepted and re-enrolled, completing her Bachelor of Science degree in business while Allison stayed home. While in college, Ellie found herself spending time with Erick Hawthorne, the TA for one of the classes she was having more trouble with than she expected. They grew surprisingly close and ended up dating and marrying several years later. Allison was hesitant to accept having a new father but Erick was a patient, compassionate man. He never tried to force himself into her life and let Allison adjust to his presence at her own pace. She formed a strong bond with him and gladly volunteered to be the flower girl at their wedding. Allison keeps a picture of the three of them on a hiking trip in her wallet at all times.

Erick was a hard worker who believed that people should earn what they have instead of expecting it to be handed out and he actively encouraged Allison to do well in school and pursue higher education. She complied, maintaining an A average in middle and high school. Three weeks before graduation, Erick and Ellie finally decided to move to an actual home (more of a large apartment, really) in Sol City. Allison was sorry to say goodbye to the friends she had made, but promised to stay in touch.

Currently Allison is living at home. She is working on enrolling in a college, though she really doesn't know what she likes yet and is leaning towards general studies. Her flippancy about it has caused a small amount of friction between her and her father, who wants her to study medicine and guarantee a good career. She had offered to join a rescue squad and, by the time they moved, had completed all the basic training to become an EMT Class 1. Her parents have suggested continuing down that path for the time being, though they encourage her to look around the new city and see what else interests her.

As far as personality goes, Allison is a cheerful, optimistic young lady who strives to look past the bad and hope for the best. Her outgoing nature and restraint from violence make her a good negotiator. Her Irish lineage lends her a fiery temper that she rarely loses, though she becomes embarrassed easily and her face often turns bright red as a direct result of either. Her stepfather's drive to work hard and achieve your goals has impacted her life, though it has been slowed down a bit by social media and technology. Even she would admit that she spends too much time on her phone. When it comes to a crisis, though, she is level-headed and professional, and as a result has been a valuable member to rescue squad calls.
