Alyssa stands at a whopping 5’6”. Rarely is she found outside of her typical jumpsuit.

[b]Strengths:[/b] Alyssa is strong-willed and incredibly confident in her abilities. She’s good at her job and does it without complaint, being quite adaptable. She provides a good listening ear to those around her, but will not freely offer advice. She is loyal once you earn it, never before you do.

[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Alyssa is rather cold and analytical. She isn’t the most personable or the warmest person. Aside from that, she’s cocky, believing herself to be overqualified for life here. She can sometimes come off as a wall, though that is never quite what she intends.

[b]Job:[/b] Alyssa tends the orchard, doing the delicate work that the machines can’t quite get to. More often than not, this involves weeding and looking after livestock. She tends to keep to herself and defer to her boss on any decisions being made.
[b]Other Skills:[/b] Alyssa is quick to pick things up, and slow to realize she has absolutely no idea what she’s doing. As a result, she’s picked up some of the basics of electrical wiring, though whether or not she’ll eventually cause a short circuit due to overconfidence is up in the air. She’s also learned a thing or two about carpentry through some amateur DIY projects, which may or may not be entirely structurally sound. Still, she's got confidence, you’ve gotta give her that.
[b]Background:[/b] Alyssa studied biochemistry back on Earth, earning a bachelor's degree in it. She had a promising career ahead of her, until her then-wife Charity was caught up in a drug operation that ended up bringing Alyssa down with her. Alyssa was accused of selling hard drugs alongside her, which she denies to this day. To add onto that, Charity was found dead in their shared home shortly before the divorce was finalized, and suspicion naturally fell onto her. She spent two years in jail for it and had resigned to being a gas station clerk until she got an offer from Concern to work on Lunar Dome 10. She knew she wouldn’t get much of anything else in terms of job opportunities, so she jumped at the opportunity. She’s been at the Dome for about two years now.

[b]Room:[/b] Alyssa has made a few unsanctioned modifications to her room: namely, adding a small shelving unit where she keeps a few clippings of plants she’s taken from the garden. These are mostly weeds, but it gives her a sense of purpose outside of work. Additionally, she had her room painted. Instead of the bleak white it once was, it’s now a purplish-grey. She has a desk littered with interesting little things she’s picked up. A statue of a cat here, a fidget toy or two there, a nice dice set, and, of course, a coffee machine. She has a few pictures of beautiful landscapes hung around her room to give her the impression of sunlight. She does have a window, but keeps the curtains closed more often than not. Her bookcase is full of whatever she could bring with her from Earth, mostly escapist literature. She has some letters from her ex-wife on there, but rarely does she look at them. 

[b]Holiday:[/b] Alyssa tries her best to ignore Holiday. She sees it more as a surveillance drone than a companion. Still, she doesn’t see a reason not to converse with it when she has a free moment. It’s better for keeping sanity, she’s rationalized.
