Age: 17

Year and Degree Program: Transfered to this school for her 3rd year, after two years of normal high school. Doesn’t have a set future path yet.

Alice typically wears comfortable things like an old jacket or pants that don’t hug her legs very tight.

Location and Notes on Star Mark: It can be found on the inner part of her right wrist, just before the heel of her hand. It has four jagged, but radially symmetrical points. It is a dirty shade of white, a little darker than most, but not black in the slightest.

Star power: Electrokinesis. Alice is a living conduit of electrical energy, and can generate a seemingly endless amount of it. In short, she controls lightning. The problems lie in the type of clothing she is wearing. If she is wearing something covered in lots of metal, she has to be more careful, and while she can’t hurt herself with her own energy, Alice can be harmed by something like a stun gun, or any other outside source.

Ever since her star began to darken, her lightning took on a shade of blue and seemed to hold more energy, this has never been something she took advantage of to hurt others, if anything it gave her more incentive to hide it.

Personality: Alice is a tough and stone-faces hardass who doesn’t put up with people who tell her to be more “ladylike” or “less unsavory” or any other sort of nonsensical role society wants her to fulfill. Alice tends to base her respect for others more on their actual personality and major actions rather than their age or their social status, which is something else she doesn’t care for in the least. While she may seem like little more than a really bitter girl, she actually has a very kind heart. She’s just had to be fierce a lot in life. 

Biography: Alice grew up in a rough situation, with a rather...traditional mother who tried to dictate everything about her life ranging from her clothes to her behavior, even to the way she spoke and who she interacted with. The only time she wasn’t trying to live some kind of vicarious life through her daughter was when Alice was out on the streets of the neighborhood with friends that her mother thankfully didn’t know well enough to “approve” of.

These friends were some of the only people Alice ever talked to, in fact most of them very rarely strayed outside the circle since the whole town was full of people like Alice’s mother. All of them were aware of Alice’s star and the astounding power it gave her, and often the kids could be seen in an abandoned building helping Alice figure out ways to control it. 

Alice and her friends were biking their way home after school one evening when she arrived at home to find her mother exasperated. Talking about how someone had started a rumor about Alice having a star. Her mother took this to be true and Alice didn’t know it was a rumor. The other kids witnessed the entire spectacle and did their best to feign ignorance, but her mother still pried. When her mother tried to save face in front of these kids by asking more politely than usual what Alice’s “gift” was, Alice refused. So naturally her mother demanded an answer, threatening to harm Alice if she didn’t elaborate

Alice simply told her that it was none of her business, and her friends backed her up, but that caused her mother to run up to the closest one she could get a hold of and try to pour as much verbal abuse into him as she could in such short time. This scene sparked something in Alice, both literally and metaphorically as she rather forcefully shoved her mother a good foot away from her friend into the ground, in an instant a brilliant ball of sparks and arcing energy spiral into her hand. Alice was on the defensive as she stood between her mother and her friend, more than willing to blast the narcissistic asshole if she didn’t watch herself.

This entire incident prompted Alice and her friends to report her mother to the school’s guidance counselor the next day. They got CPS involved, and by extension the Nova Infinitum. They told Alice that she had a choice between a foster home and the school for starred children. They also told her that her oh so wonderful mother didn’t get a choice. Alice talked with her friends, and learned that she was the only one in the group who though a foster home was better. They all wanted her to go, knowing that the cycle would no doubt repeat. Alice trusted them, and chose the school. From that day she never saw her mother again, and could only hope her friends could see better days too.

Notable Rumors: Some people think her star is totally black, but it isn’t.

Trivia: She listens to some pretty uncommon music.
