[indent][indent]Alice is broad, containing masculine features, but still having a curvy, feminine figure. She is tall, standing at 5'10 with long, thick hair showing different shades of blonde through each straggly strand. With fair skin and a clear complexion, she sports a very different look than the majority of the descendants of her culture. While she retained the many recessive genes that made her appearance light, her stature is that of her people. Alice's expression is generally the same regardless of what she's feeling, showing little to no emotion through her face. Her mannerisms, on the other hand, are different depending on the situation. A ball calls for noble and feminine mannerisms, delicate and elegant, while the battlefield calls for more barbaric mannerisms. Being a participant in fair amount of battles, Alice is marked with scars on various parts of her body. None of them show any great damage, the majority of them being mere cuts from a blade. She has a small scar along her cheek that is incredibly subtle and often covered with makeup.

Alice's attire ranges from plate armor to beautiful gowns, resulting in a very diverse wardrobe. Neither of which she favors more than her regular townswoman clothes that she'll wear whenever the situation calls for it. Although, being a more famed lady of Vertiron requires a very presentable look, calling for noble gowns regardless of the discomfort, and thus leaving her favored outfit unworn. Alice's makeup fluctuates from heavy to light, depending on her mood. Her version of heavy only consists of heavier eye makeup opposed to the overly-powdered face makeup that many noble woman fashion.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]Alice is a strong-willed, fearless, 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, choosing to not forget the faces of her enemies, 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 motivation, resulting in a strong, restless desire to improve to avoid such feelings. Along the lines of remembering actions of rage, she also remembers acts of generosity and makes it certain that she expresses her gratitude properly. Alice becomes uneasy when she's faced with situations that confuse her, resulting in loss of sleep until she unravels the truth.

Alice is also very defensive of those that she cares about, valuing the protection of others in and out of the battlefield, but also finding difficulty in making decisions requiring sacrifices. While Alice does have a very hard-headed nature, she is a very generous person, enjoying the feeling of giving to those in need and being honored for it in return. Being a protector to the people of Virtiron, she shows no fear to a threatening enemy, regardless of their intimidating stature or title. 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][/indent]

[indent][indent]Alice grew up as the daughter of Virtiron's greatest military strategist, Sebastian Allaire. Her mother, being a respected lady of the kingdom attempted to raise her as a typical lady within her footsteps. With much failure, Alice walked in the path of her father for as long as she could. Being a kid, the freedom to dream and become who you want was encouraged, but also taken away once the child reached the primitive age to become who they're born to be. For Alice, it was planned for her to be a stunning young woman with typical talents of a lady, but that lifestyle was never meant for her. It was strange for a girl child to be so fascinated with war and military politics, but Alice proved to many that she was different in this aspect.

It would be safe to assume that Alice's only interest was the work of her father, but her child-like nature would find it's way out and the enjoyment of other children was much appreciated. Although, one in particular was always enjoyed more than others. The Prince Theodoro, charming and handsome to Alice ever since she laid eyes on him, the one boy that would make Alice feel as if she were a normal girl. It wasn't just his appearance and his mannerisms that would draw Alice in, but the respect that he had was something to admire, especially with how awkward and different Alice was. She did everything in her power to be near to him, but there came a time in which, not just them, but all children were required to grow up to become the succeeding generation of noble men and woman. Alice would sneak out to see him when they reached their teenage years, not to fancy him or seduce him, but to enjoy his company and laugh as if they were still children. Those days eventually dwindled until they merely passed each other in the halls of the court, or dealt with political matters.

Aside from love interests, growing up for Alice involved the hilt of a blade in one hand and the handle of a buckler in the other, her loving father unable to take this strange hobby from her. This hobby became stronger which eventually turned into a dream to become the next military strategist for Vertiron, regardless of the gender boundaries that morality brought. At this point, Alice had no interest in learning the mannerisms of becoming a lady, but as soon as she began her teenage years, her lack of knowledge for proper woman etiquette became apparent and disrespectful. Thus, she was limited to the war room and was forced to wear the uncomfortable dresses that she loathed, but her father never stopped training her.

During Alice's late teenage years, she was back in the war room and only eying the King Theodoro from a distance. It wasn't long before her father became ill and the war officers were in distress to find a replacement. As many heroic tales would go, Alice would be the assumed successor for the role, but the sexism that existed strongly in this era casted that dream aside, though she was still welcomed to the table for strategic input. Instead of one person making the calls, it worked more like a democracy where the war officers voted on what actions were best, but Alice's talent with strategy became incredibly useful and her persuading words often lead to the better decisions, resulting in many victories. During these years, Alice finally partook in battle and even lead a legion of men once she became comfortable with the harshness of war and killing. It was kept quiet among the nobles since her victorious actions and her incredible battle prowess were seen as unladylike, but the rumors of the people spread and now she claims her title as "Virtiron's Battle-maiden".

As of late, Alice is cooped up in the kingdom since a new military general was welcomed into the war room and Alice was ruled out of the military. It was a rough time being casted away from something she was so successful at, but she now tries to enjoy a somewhat noble life. The only positive part of becoming a full-time noblewoman is being closer to King Theodoro, a childhood love interest whom still holds Alice's heart. Her beautifully crafted battle equipment lays unused in the corner of her chambers, and the noble gowns that were carefully sewn are now making an appearance. With a change in lifestyle, Alice hopes to find balance and enjoyment in whatever it is that she should become.[/indent][/indent][/hider]
