She's pretty good at charms and hexes, so she concentrated mostly on that area. Basically she did whatever was needed, mostly protecting people and fighting Death Eaters when necessary. POLITICAL VIEWS: Alicia is all for muggle/wizard relationships and wishes they were better. She's supportive of the Ministry and thinks that while werewolves should be looked after, they're people and should have the same right as others and don't have to be counted. She's very strictly against dark wizards of any kind. Appearance OVERVIEW: Alicia is about 5'7" and is pretty slender. Too slender by some people's standards. She's not very curvy, more lanky and stick-like. She has very pronounced cheek bones and full lips. Her hair is a light brown and varies in length. Most of the time she wears a pony tail. Her eyes are a brown color and a small nose. Though she's skinny, a lot of it is muscle. Most of the time she wears things that are loose and allows her to move a lot. Athletic wear and the like. At home she wears jeans and t-shirts for the most part. She's not terribly girly, but if the occasion calls for it, she'll put on a dress and try not to complain too much. She does tend to wear make-up but that's mostly for the camera. Personality WAND: 8 1/4", maple wood, phoenix feather core, rigid BOGGART: Rats. PATRONUS: Lamb. DETAILED PERSONALITY: Alicia would say that she is very good at being thrown curve balls. Her life has had a lot of unexpected twists and turns and for the most part, she doesn't regret any of them. She's a decent girl and a really good friend. Very loyal and friendly to those that deserve it. She can be sweet and kind, but tends to be a little heavy handed towards people. She doesn't mean to, her words often slip out before she has a chance to think about what she's saying. Foot in mouth disease a lot of the time. Whatever she says, people should take with a grain of salt. She doesn't mean to be vicious, even if it might sound like she is doing it on purpose. On the field she is fearless and quite sure of herself. She makes sure that she practices every day to get better at her position. She has a lot of motivation to keep going and try her hardest. Off the field she can be a little wishy washy and indecisive. Not about major things, but about the little stuff. She'd rather someone else who was better informed deal with decisions. It's probably why she has someone else look at her contract and make sure it's in the right order. Though it was unexpected, Alicia is turning out to be a decent mum. She loves her kid more than she thought she possibly could. Her whole world revolves around Sarah and Quidditch. Like with the game, she practices to be better. She tries her best to balance the two, but it's getting harder as Sarah grows up. She tries to be as home with her daughter as much as possible. It means less getting drinks after games or spending time with her friends. She should be glad that she even has a job, and she is for the most part but she is finding it harder to be away. Sooner rather than later, she will be contemplating her goals. History CHILDHOOD: Alicia was born to parents that adored her immensely. When she was much much younger, she and her mother were inseparable. She was definitely a mum's girl. They went everywhere together and she was sure that nothing would ever change that. A couple of years later when her sister was born, that all changed. Rebecca was the baby and everyone (especially her mother) doted on her. Sophie told Alicia that it was Rebecca's turn for attention, and so Alicia went to find it somewhere else. It was then that she developed a special relationship with her father. He taught her quidditch when she turned 9 and she positively adored it. It made them closer than they used to be, but it wasn't like her mother completely ignored her. Far from it. As Rebecca grew up and got to be less of a nuisance, Alicia took her under her wing. She looked after her sister and made sure that nothing bad ever happened to her. When Rebecca skinned her knee, it was Alicia who patched it up. By the time Hogwarts came up, Alicia hated to leave her behind but she realized that in a couple of years, Rebecca would be following behind her. HOGWARTS. Boarding the train to Hogwarts, Alicia made her mind up that she would not focus on home issues and try to just blend in. She didn't want to stand out, but the thing that she did want to do was play Quidditch. She knew from the moment her father taught her. She was sorted into Gryffindor and it didn't take her very long to make other friends. She got on with a couple of other kids her age, and she kept her head down just like she said. Not too popular, but not oblivious either. She did well in her classes for the most part. She was absolutely horrible at potions and charms, but the rest she was decent at. Nothing above average but an all around decent student. She tried out for Quidditch a year later and got on the team as a reserve chaser. Sure it wasn't really on the team exactly but it was better than not being on the team at all. That was for sure. Even Lee Jordan commented that she was pretty good on the pitch, even if she was only on reserve. In fact it didn't take long for her to move from reserve to actual player. Alicia made Chaser on her third year. She generally went for the penalty shots when the other team made fouls and was pretty damn good at it. They very nearly won the Quidditch Cup that year, though they lost to Ravenclaw in the end. The more blood purity became an issue and now that her sister was in Hogwarts, she took extreme offense to the notion that people were being accused of being filthy because they weren't pureblood. In fact during one intense argument in which Draco Malfoy said something horrible to Hermione Granger, Alicia stood up in front of everyone and screamed "How dare you!" to his face. She would have hit him if someone hadn't pulled her back. After Quidditch was canceled, she had more time to focus on her school work, but the Basilisk attacks weren't making her feel any safer. When they played against Slytherin the last time, a rogue bludger had nearly killed Harry and Alicia told Oliver to forfeit the match. With her best friends Katie and Angelina, she also signed up for the dueling club. Alicia kept an eye on her little sister as best as she could. That year she met Gilderoy Lockhart and nearly instantly fell in love. Until he was outed as an impostor of course. During her fifth year, the Gryffindors won the House Cup. The next year Quidditch was canceled again, this time thanks to the Triwizard Tournament. If she had been old enough, she would have tossed her own name into the running. That year her sister got into some trouble and nearly got kicked out, though Alicia talked to the Headmaster and begged him to let her stay. Dumbledore agreed, though Rebecca was put on warning. Her seventh and final year, Angelina captained the team and during a practice Katie fell ill with blood loss. It scared the crap out of her and held her hand the entire time. She sat with her while she was getting better, doing whatever she could to make her feel better. Later on Alicia was asked by Umbridge how Flitwick was as a professor and she praised him heavily. Apparently it hadn't mattered to much because Umbridge because an unholy terror. It made Alicia and her friends join up with Dumbledore's Army, no questions asked. They had to face down Voldemort and Umbridge and anyone else who needed to be stopped. She tried to balance her time between Quidditch and DA meetings but it proved difficult. Though it was a hard year, she eventually graduated, passing on her place as Chaser to some of the younger students. Alicia told Rebecca to keep her head down during the war and helped do anything she could to keep people safe. She went with Katie to hide people and ended up fighting a bunch of Death Eaters. She immediately came back to her school at the Battle of Hogwarts once they were all called to action. POST-HOGWARTS. After the war and Hogwarts was over, Alicia was approached by Puddlemere United to play as a reserve chaser for them. She was completely ecstatic. Though she had thought about joining a couple other teams, she wanted to join her friends and play with them again. Everything was going great for the next couple of years. Eventually they took her off Reserve and made her a full fledged Chaser for the team. Her personal life was a bit more complicated. Her sister eventually graduated school and didn't know what she wanted to do with her life. Whatever it was, it wasn't good. Every couple of months she asks her sister for money and Alicia gives it up. Alicia met a really nice bloke about two years ago and they started dating for a while. They were only together a short while before she found out that she was pregnant. Though she played as long as she wanted, they let her take off some time to have her daughter and come back later. She didn't know if she ever wanted kids, but it was too late not to want her. A year ago, she gave birth to a little girl. The father of the baby isn't known by a lot of people. She doesn't talk about it much. Misc. COMMON KNOWLEDGE: She plays for Puddlemere United as a Chaser. She has a daughter. SECRETS: She's been having a relationship with a muggle. It's not the father of her daughter, but they're not together really anyway. PARTICIPATION: Not yet SOUL MATE ATTRIBUTES: She'd love for it to be the father of her kid, but that might be pushing it. She just wants someone who doesn't mind kids and is a decent guy. PLOT IDEAS: I'm leaving the father of her kid blank in case anyone wants to fill in. She's going to be torn between Quidditch and the kid and figuring out what to do about that. She might quit, she might try a bunch of other things to figure it out. Contact Information NAME: Jewels.
