At 11:22PM, during a live show by The Petty Desperate, a fire broke out in the venue. The press released a statement blaming faulty pyrotechnics, but witness reports mention the sound of gunfire and screaming moments before the fire was contained.

Psychology
Hobbies/Interests
✦ Anime & Manga, mostly RomCom & Isekai. She is a TOTAL otaku, and her apartment is covered in figures, posters, and paraphernalia.
✦ Music - should come as no surprise she gravitates to rock & metal. Fucks with electronica, though.
✦ Posting. She's always on imageboards and social media, getting mad at strangers online.
Likes
✦ Cheap beer and chinese food for dinner.
✦ Nightlife. Not the clubbing and fucking nightlife, but the 2AM convenience store run kind.
✦ Dogs. The smaller and stupider looking, the better.
Dislikes
✦ Phone calls. Just fucking text her.
✦ Summer and hot weather. She's got too much hair (and fur) for that shit.
✦ Door knocks and doorbell rings. Something about the sound sets her right the fuck off.
Fears
✦ Strangers. She's paranoid and naturally suspicious of people that approach her. Especially during her nightly beer runs.
✦ Being recognized. She hates her fans. She hates her fans more when they make a huge scene about her.
✦ Stuff in her drink.
Habits
✦ Grinding her teeth. Especially in her sleep.
✦ Tends to hum old tunes absentmindedly when she's busy.
✦ Curses a little bit too much, even in relatively polite company.
Vices
✦ Nightly drinking. She's not quite as severe as a full-on alcoholic, but always averages 2 or 3 beers a night.
✦ Again. Posting. She's up there with the worst of us. Get her off the computer.
✦ Reclusive. She will lock herself in her apartment for days on end if she has nothing to do.
Core Motivation: To be left alone and forgotten, to have what little fame she had fade into less than a memory. At least, that's what she tells herself - but some part of her itches to find out what happened to that bar that burned down the night she made her disappearance.
Personality Overview: Stubborn, snappy, and standoffish are the keywords when one describes Alicia. It’s fairly obvious she’s more than a little depressed. Though once upon a time she was more outgoing and amicable, when she started singing, she closed herself off, much to her bandmates and loved ones' confusion and concern. This has unfortunately only intensified over the years - but she's still at her core a professional, and she's certainly not socially inept and capable of talking to people on her level.
Relationships and Reputation
Openness to Friendship (1-5): 2
Openness to Romance (1-5): 1
Romantic Preferences: Full rejection. She's content with her H-manga and sex toys.
Current Romantic Interests (if any): N/A
View on Forbidden Relationships: Accepting. Coming from the punk scene, queer relationships both mundane and magical are as natural as the moon to her.
Biggest Turn-ons:
✦ You could really just list some hentai website tags here.
Biggest Turn-offs:
✦ Being approached and asked out instead of being allowed to take the initiative herself.
✦ You.
How They Handle Love: She rejects any and all advances vehemently, and seems almost afraid of the prospect.
Reputation Among Their Race/Faction: Amicable. She's on good terms with Blackmoor and his Fangs.
Relationship with the Glamour: Adheres to it. As someone who once had a stage presence, she understands its necessity both for her safety and the safety of the crowd in front of her.
Known Enemies: Her former manager.
Known Friends: Her former band.
Known Family Members: Nobody from Halcyon.
Background
Current Occupation: Shut-in. Pays the rent through odd jobs for the Iron Fangs. Secretly wishes she'd still get residuals on album sales or something.
Level of Schooling(if any): College drop-out.
Past Occupations (if any): Lead vocalist of The Petty Desperate, a mildly recognizable punk band.
Socioeconomic Status: Living paycheck to paycheck in a shitty neighborhood.
History Summary:
Alicia was born in a commune of rogue yet peaceful Lycans west of Halcyon, in a small pack that lived out of trailers near a small shithole town. Alicia, for her part, was a rather curious, outgoing child, and grew up accustomed to the culture of her kind, with an understanding of the Glamour and her own existence. When she left for college, she was already well in control of her abilities and ready enough to face the world. Always having a love of music in part for the CDs her father used to collect, she linked up with a group of other music students - Erica Redwood, Rebecca Connelly, & Charlotte McClellan. They became close-knit friends and decided to quit college as a group and start a band.
Their first gigs as The Petty Desperate were successes, with Alicia as their frontman, and in spite of Alicia's refusal to book some specific dates, their career bloomed into their first EP, "Blackbird", their first studio album, "The Crow, Apathetic", and their first time touring as a supporting artist.
Reviewers found the contrast between their upbeat, energetic instrumentation and their haunting lyrics and songwriting enthralling and attention-grabbing - but noted the two successive releases grew darker and darker. Concurrently, Alicia's bandmates noted a shift in her attitude sometime after the end of a party when she'd disappeared, in a daze, with their manager at the time, Jericho Shea.
Their last show was cut short when, in the middle of their set, a fire broke out in the venue. The bar they'd played in was burned to the ground, and with nearly a dozen casualties in the chaos. To Erica, Rebecca, and Charlotte, it was a shitty accident, but to Alicia, it was a hunt gone wrong.
As she made her way outside, her ears picked up the sound of rifles being primed. Unwilling to endanger her friends or worse, use them as human shields, she made off with a security guard's handgun and fled into the night. Evading capture until the morning, hiding out in the woods, she caught the first bus out of town, not wanting to risk being tracked down with the rest of her band. With their frontman presumed dead in the fire, her remains unable to be found, The Petty Desperate went on an indeterminate hiatus.
Finding herself in Halcyon later that week, Alicia was sniffed out - pun intended - by the Iron Fangs, the presence of a strange and unfamiliar Lycan being treated as an intrusion. However, it just so happened that one or two members of the Fangs had, in fact, heard her performances, and managing to persuade them both to let her stay and to keep their mouths shut about her survival, she was given permission to remain in their territory.
Three years later, Alicia's scratched out a meager-yet-steady living. Taking contract scout work for the Fangs keeps the lights on, but somewhere in the back of her head, she still wonders who, or what, was after her that night...
Race-Specific Questions
▸ Lycans:
✦Born or Turned?: Born. She has very good shapeshifting control, and is able to partially shift. (She's sometimes used this to sprout ears and a tail for self-indulgent bedroom cosplay.)
✦Reaction to Full Moon: Tracks the calendar meticulously to seclude herself properly someplace outside the city.
✦Pack Loyalty Level: Mild.
✦Views on Mortals: Her three best friends in the world were humans. The Wardens, however, are assholes, and she steers clear.
✦Views on Vampires: Stuck-up dickheads. Way cuter in manga.
✦Views on Fae: Freakish. Prejudiced due to warnings from her family growing up. Only uses her White Wolf psuedonym around them.
