She does, however, conceal these with makeup when around people other then her immediate family.

Her eyes are a gray-blue that mesmerize most people, her hair is a perfect blonde-white, and it falls in silky waves to just below her shoulders.

"But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'"

In Depth Information

---

Personality: Alice is extremely sweet and, unlike most people, tries to look for the good in others. The people at her new school are a bit unnerving and are slowly beginning to wear down her ability to look for the good in people. Some of them even frighten her, and she hates the fact that she's alone and arrived not too long after school started. naturally, however, she's kind and loves to be around people. So far she's been too shy to approach anyone, but a few students have. She loves to laugh and make others do the same, and has always been driven to do her best, to impress her parents and not let them down. That's her biggest flaw, however; no matter what she does, she never thinks she does it good enough, or is smart enough. She has an extremely low self-esteem, which, at her old school, always made her friends mad at her.

Danger Level: 4; it’s not like she won’t defend herself when people are outright attacking her, whether it’s with words or fists, but she doesn't go out of her way to endanger herself. However, when rubbed the wrong way, she can become a 7.

Aspirations: She wants to eventually graduate high school and go away to college, where she’ll study to become a bio technician. It’s a long shot, but her biggest dream is to win the Noble Prize for discovering the cure to a horrific disease.

Dominant Emotion: Protectiveness and Sincerity

Quirks/Oddities: Some people find it weird how into studying and doing her homework she is, or her loves for sciences and mathematics, or that she loves learning how to play various new instruments and compose music, but she adores these things none-the-less. Alice also demands that others call her ‘Valerie’, due to it being her middle name and her sister’s first name being Amanda, which also began with an ‘A’. Whenever Alice sees the letter ‘a’ or meets someone with a name beginning with ‘a’, she can’t help but think of her sister. She also refuses to wear something that reveals her scarred abdomen.

Likes: Strawberries, Raspberries, Music, Boys, Dancing, Studying, Homework, School, Animals, Children

Dislikes: Gory Movies, Slackers, Liars, Cheaters, Conceited People, Hatred, Bullying

Average Clothing: All-in-all, she tends to aim for comfortable clothes that aren't too tight and aren't to baggy, just sort of in the middle.
Spring/Summer – Tank tops and skirts or jeans shorts, along with sandals, flip flops, or no shoes at all. She also tends to wear sundresses a lot, and with her favorite colors being blue and white, a lot of her clothes fall into those categories.
Fall/Winter – She loves wearing sweatpants and jeans, with long-sleeved shirts and baggy sweatshirts. She normally wears dark, faux boots and gloves without finger tips that she can flip a piece of clothe over the tips of her fingers to cover. Those and scarves and hats, too. She loves her scarves and hats.

| History |
Alice was born in a small, middle-class family, with a twin sister and a younger brother. Her only living relatives were her parents, siblings, grandmother, and aunt. She was raised to always do her best and look for the good in people, just as her parents, Kathleen and William, did. And she was happy. When her eighth Christmas came around, her parents bought her and her sister beautiful, heart locket necklaces with a picture of a family portrait they had taken for their Christmas cards in it. A few months later, just after her ninth birthday, they were involved in a horrific, ten-car pileup on their way to pick up her sister from a friends house. The only reason Alice lived is because her father pulled her out from between the two cars that had trapped her when she had been ejected from an open side window, using the last ounce of his own strength to save her. He, her brother, and her mother Kathleen, all died on the way to hospital. Alice was in critical condition for several days, and when she awoke, she was horrifically scarred across her stomach. The scar has dulled as she aged and has become a pearly white, but it's still extremely noticeable, and although it isn't a hideous scar, she thinks it is, so she has never worn a two piece during the summer to the beach.

After her parents and little brother died, her grandmother was left as her and her sister's guardian. She was then raised by her rich grandmother, who pushed her and her sister to do their best, enrolling them in a private elementary, then middle, and finally high school. Her grandmother is a strict, old woman that all of Alice's friends refer to as 'The Dictator', for she was always crabby and treated Alice and her sister like, well, crap. Alice, however, loves her grandmother dearly, seeing as only she, her sister, and her aunt's family are still alive.

A few days after Alice and her sister's sixteenth birthday, her sister committed suicide by hanging herself in their bedroom. Alice found her and has been mentally scarred ever since. This was only a few months before Alice was accepted to Wonderland Academy.

When Alice's grandmother announced that she had passed an entry exam and the requirements for a 'prestigious high school' a few states away, Alice really didn't want to go and leave the only home and people she had ever really known other then her parents. She went anyway, if only to make her grandmother happy and to escape the memories of her family and her sister. She arrived a few days before she would actually start school, just so she could get settled into her dormitory and get to know people, despite the fact that school had already started, but she hadn't really gone out of her way to meet many other people. To be honest, she's a bit scared to.

| One Greatest Fear |
Losing the only remaining people on this Earth that she loves.

| One Greatest Secret |
She never, ever wears bikinis in the summer; she always wears one-pieces, and hides her past, disastrous life from those around, behind smiles and kind words.
