Name: Alec William Doherty
Age: 25
Hails from: Wokingham, England
Reason For Coming to Miss Pemberley's: Alec left his home after his mother's passing, and he was in need of work and a place to stay. Luckily, Miss Pemberley's provided both. He has been working as Miss Pemberley's personal attendant since.
Room Number: 102
Personality: Alec is a prankster and a flirt, but that's probably because he's never really serious about anything. Everything is still like a game to him- he sees the world to a child's eyes sometimes. He's a bit of a slob, but frankly, it doesn't bother him. Alec can be a major jerk, but at the very core, there is a half-grain of an okay person. He's rather vain, just as most people his age are. Alec is always up for a good prank or party. He gets bored very easily, and is always on the hunt for something else to entertain himself with. He has been in a serious relationship once, but all of the others were always just brief flings.

Appearance: Alec has short brown hair and bright blue eyes. Given his stick-out ears and mischievous smile, he looks a bit like an imp. He has stubble on his face, a result of being too lazy to shave in the mornings. Alec doesn't pay too much attention to what he wears, but he tries to look somewhat presentable- you never know who you might meet anywhere. He dislikes shoes, and tries to avoid shoes as much as possible. He doesn't know when he started hating shoes, but it's certainly stayed with him.
History: Alec grew up in Wokingham, England with an average family. His father was a biologist, and his mother was a physicist. Alec always had a closer relationship with his mother rather than his father, because his mother was always there for him, while his father didn't really associate with Alec much. When Alec entered high school, he started butting heads with his father a lot more. In Alec's second year of high school, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His father, unaccustomed to showing emotion, was stoic, igniting Alec's anger. He thought that his father didn't even care that she had cancer. Of course, he did, but Alec largely misunderstood.
After several chemotherapy sessions, hat shopping days, and hospital visits with his mother, she died just days after Alec graduated. At the funeral, his father, once again, had a mask of impeccable calm. Alec was planning to move out after high school anyways, but after the funeral, he packed as soon as he could and fled for London. He came across Miss Pemberley's, and booked a room. He got a job, helping Miss Pemberley with whatever she needs help with. In some ways, Miss Pemberley is a little like Alec's second mother. He is grateful for all of her help, but he is afraid of what he will do when Miss Pemberley passes away as well.
Oddities/Quirky Habits: Alec will shut down if he is put under excessive amounts of pressure. He also has a habit of rubbing the back of his neck.
