APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------

HAIR COLOR: blonde

EYE COLOR: brown

HEIGHT: five foot

BODY TYPE: slender

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Alice is very pale and looks frail and sickly. If she dressed more like a girl, she would look more dainty than anything. She now wears a lot of black and leather and boots. She does not wear makeup often, because it takes too much time and effort. She has a freckle on her right cheek close to her nose that stands out, a dark beauty mark against a pale, almost sunken in face.

Alice has pale blonde hair that she prefers to keep cut at a short pixie cut. Occasionally, her mother gets irritated and sits her down to grow it out to a length a little past her shoulder. At this length, her hair gets curly and messy. She had delicate fingers- pointed chin, almost elfish ears, almond shaped eyes, and ‘piano’ fingers. Her brown eyes are deep and draw you in, another jarring dark feature against her pale countenance.

DEMENTOR: Finding the letter that revealed her darkest secret.

VERITASERUM: That she had a twin, but her twin died in the womb.

MIRROR OF ERISED: Herself, toruing with a group of like-minded musicians, and her sister with her.

PERSONALITY: Alice is very thoughtful, even if she does present herself as rough around the edges at times. She is known to slip into a thoughtful stupor, staring at the sunset or off into space, thinking about things way beyond the thoughts of a typical teenaged girl- what is death, what is limbo, how does one exist, that sort. The girl could look thoughtful and peaceful, lost in the stars, and then suddenly, if interuppoted, turn intoa spitfire.

Infalmed, Alice is tough enough to pull back her fist and pummel your face in. She has a quiet passion that, when lit, could burn down entire villages. She likes to speak in prose and quiet rhymes and whatnot, but upset, she can sound like a drunken sailor. Alice’s friends like to joke and call her schitzophrenic just because her personality can vary so much.

Alice claims art is her life. She will paint, write poetry, but her real passion is writing and performing music. She plays acoustic guitar, some piano, fiddle/violin, and she sings. She has a particular taste for composing and writing lyrics. Though she is really talented at creating music, her true abilities lie in performing to it- ballet. On the flipside, she loves art and thinks liberally, and yet has the analytical mind for potions. She is already successfully brewing Wolfsbane.

Alice is sort of the black sheep of the family. She and her brother don’t share their parent’s taste for herbology, but she seems to be forgotten more often than remembered. Frank is the perfect child, whereas Alice has been given detention countless times for countless reasons. Her parents have sent her to a few counselors, but she nearly always skips and forges notes claiming any and all problems are normal teen problems.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------

Early Years: Neville and Hannah created a warm house life. Their son Frank added to that by being a very happy little boy, playing instruments at a young age and being a bright young boy. When Hannah became pregnant, the parents were thrilled- even more thrilled to find that they would be having identical twins. They furnished the nursery with matching cribs, matching toy chests, everything. They could not wait.

When they returned from the hospital on February third, they placed Alice in her crib and locked themselves away. Frank watched his baby sister and went to talk to his mom and dad. At only four, he had no idea how much his question hurt his parents. “Where’s my other sister?” It was easier for them to tell him they decided one would be enough, and convinced him that there had never been another sister. To this day, Frank does not remember the loss of his sister.

Alice was sort of a peculiar child. She was the type to be perfectly quiet and still, then if you made eye contact with her, she would stare at you for a full minute… and then suddenly start screaming. Her parents were patient and loving but they were obviously a little more patient with Frank- he was the easy child.

Alice began dancing young, and her parents convinced her to join ballet- it was the one activity they could get her to do on her own that involved meeting other kids. She shined. People were brought to tears by her dancing. She continued on for a long time, earning recognition everywhere. When she was eleven, however, her life changed forever.

She received her Hogwarts letter, no surprise. The real surprise came when she began snooping about, as she was prone to do and she found a letter from her grandmother. What she learned from the letter was all about her twin, the twin that had died in the womb, that had lied against her for weeks, and had never seen the light of day.

She quit ballet, and focused on music. She drowned out her pain with the chords and began to slip more into depressive thoughts. She could not be as joyful and from there on out she took a darker stance on life.

Hogwarts Years: Alice did not pay much attention to others and never sought to impress her teachers- however it did happen. They could not help but be impressed by the girl, though their musings typically stayed to themselves and unvoiced. She went about her business quietly, only ever really investing in her Potions work. When she did not agree with a professor, she would voice her opinions. This earned her a fair few detentions.

Alice searched for musically inclined students to work with and possibly start a band with. She loved music and wanted to continue with it. Occasionally, she was tempted by dancing, but always remembered her sister and how she never got that chance to dance- and she could not consider dancing ever again. She joined PA out of familial obligations, but always considered DFs.

Adulthood: n/a

Oh but I liked kendall...

Oh, I didn't know that Hannah and Neville got married, that's cute.

Anyway, a little dark for my liking, but otherwise a fine character, I just need one more class from you before I can accept.

Oh poop. Forgot that.

Fixed.

by **Jess Potter** Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:54 am

Righto. Accepted.

Oh, and will you go through and ungroup the accounts you're culling? Or do you want me to do that?

by **Jaquellene Jack Dyllan** Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:27 pm

I still have to make arrangements with people who have plots with them. That's going to be something I'm gradually doing over the next week or two- so you may see a thread or two that wraps things up, but I'm considering them inactive. Once I tie up loose ends, I'll ungroup.
