Seemingly an aged mind within a youthful frame, she speaks with mellow tones and moves with fluid grace. However, she has always felt a strange kind of emptiness deep inside, as if something is missing. Surely she has loved and lost, but this feeling transcends petty things on the surface of life. She has always gazed upon the night sky and its brilliant stars, wishing to be part of something greater. The only problem was that Alice never knew what that was or would be. She thought about joining the resistance forces and fighting the unions, but it never happened. That, too, was pointless quarreling without deeper purpose. Alice usually wears simple [url=https://i.imgur.com/EzcOYtP.jpg]outfits[/url]. She has a trusty jacket of dark color, sweaters of light colors, and slimmed jeans and leggings to go with comfortable sneakers. Her facial features are petite and streamlined and clad with haunting, blue eyes. The hair, of dark brown, is often kept short and tidy just above the shoulders. Being rather short and slender makes Alice agile and rather fast in her movements, also able to squeeze into and through narrow spaces. If she has to hide her face in public, Alice uses a simple scarf mask of stretchy fabrics and dark color that covers everything from the eyes down. Alice has a polite attitude towards most people. She is the kind of person that only breaks into the private and personal on rare occasions. Alice is an extremely normal person on the surface. She has realized that most people cannot or do not want to handle thoughts or discussions of heavier substance. At most, she will talk about union politics with those who initiate such a conversation, but Alice will never spark it herself. However, she longs for relationships with people that are different, that are driven by something else other than work, parties, and the Net addiction. She wants to tumble down the rabbit hole, she wants to experience something out of the ordinary, she wants to discover the world beyond Helston.[/color] [SUB][COLOR=b89383]C H R O N I C L E[/COLOR][/SUB][hr][color=a8a8a8] Alice was born and raised in Helston. She is a native of the Neutral Zone and has never known life within the unions. However, both of her parents grew up without much privacy or peace in their hearts. Eventually, they were able to escape and settle down and find work within the Neutral Zone, which lead to forming a family. Alice is the oldest of three children. Being who she is, a calm and good spirit, Alice spent a lot of her time taking decent care of her siblings whenever the need for it rose. Alas, after she moved away from home, having secured a job and her own place, the time spent with family as a whole as decreased. However, if possible, the family have dinner every weekend and celebrate all major holidays together. A great deal of time was spent with a boy in High School. They were not together as a couple in the traditional sense, nor were they ever romantic, but they seemed to sync quite well. The family even got to know him almost as a member of it. He spent plenty of time over at the house either studying or just hanging out with Alice. It was not until the very end that the two of them realized deeper feelings for one another. Unfortunately, that future timeline was interrupted by a series of tragedies in his life, which caused him to disappear from Helston one day. Alice was completely left to wonder why it came to be this way. One day he was simply gone. It took Alice quite some time to forget and move on. She tried to search for him, but nobody had seen anyone fitting the description. However, his name and memory still lingers in her heart. Alice’s focus in High School was melee combat. Every student had focus studies in the last year with a wide range of selections. Even if the world is primarily one of ranged warfare, there are more than a few instances where modern melee weaponry is effective. Many of those scenarios involve close quarter combat, of course, but classes in the focus also teach how to reduce distance by using the environment and other means. The training was comparable to most martial arts practices. Alice can apply the same techniques even without proper weapons or use whatever makeshift option that is available. Alice works at a supermarket in Helston. She usually sits at the checkout, but also stocks shelves and handle orders. Alice has worked at the supermarket for two years, ever since she moved out from her parents and got her own place. The pay is fair and she has enough left over after the bills have been paid every month. Alice has not thought about what she wants to do with her life all that much. Life is good as it is now, so she figures that things will just go with the flow. The days of the year pass relatively easy. Alice usually plays video games after work during the week, and then spends time with friends and family on the weekends.

He was the only one who ever was able to fill that void in her heart. On the last day that they saw each other, he gave her a sealed letter. He told her to open it on a difficult day in her life. Alice still has not opened it and she keeps it with her every day. She hopes to see him again, but she fears that venturing out into the dark world is required for that to happen.[/color] [/hider]
