First Name: Alice
Gender: Female
Pet/family animal: Family owns a wildlife care + zoo. Otherwise, no.
Favourite animal: Cats
Personality: Alice always gives the impression that there is something on her mind, because she is often daydreaming, thinking about important matters, or just musing to herself. She's smart and has great observation skills, however she rarely puts them to use with her schoolwork. Alice enjoys school, but the actual education aspect of it she has little interest in, as she believes that most of what they teach is of no future use to her. She doesn't know yet what she wants to do post-graduation, besides travel the world, but since it's not a lawyer or doctor, Alice doesn't worry too deeply about her grades, as long as she passes. Even so, she usually gets quite good marks anyway, for most subjects.
Even with her love of nearly all animals as well as an admiration of nature, Alice isn't the sort of person who loves to be outdoors unless it's for exploring or hanging out with her friends at places like the mall, park or otherwise. Normally she's happy enough sitting around with a good book or being creative.
She can be very social and popular in school if she chooses to, but people in general have a tendency to annoy her. A very loyal and determined person, Alice doesn't give up easily, especially when someone or something she cares about is involved. She has a very dry/sarcastic humour and likes to accept/give dares. Independant, stubborn and curious, Alice is always looking for new things to do or ways to make something a little better than it is. She is able to handle new situations - good or bad - rather quickly and with a reasonably level-headed mind, even if deep down she's so terrified she just wants to curl up and cry. Afraid to let anyone think she's weak, Alice tries to be strong even when she isn't coping too well. She relies heavily on her friends and the animals she's surrounded by to handle tough situations and remind her why she can never give up on herself or anything that's important to her. Though she tries to avoid conflict, Alice is a fighter and won't back down from a challenge if the outcome is worth it.
Detailed background information: Despite similarities in appearance and interests with her parents, Alice was actually adopted shortly before her first birthday. She knows nothing about her history, her birth parents, or the situation that landed her in the home she now resides in. Her adoptive parents are very supportive and understanding, though Alice wishes they had more time for her and that they can spent time as a complete family. Whenever her parents are home, Alice still sees them only at brief moments as they're stressed and tired from their work or travel.
An only child, but not spoiled, Alice was raised to become her own person, to formulate her own beliefs and values. Her mother runs and works at the local zoo while her father used to help, but now travels around assisting with other zoos and wilflife protection groups. He sends letters and pictures about his adventures, and while Alice finds them to be amazing, she just wishes he was home. Because of her proven maturity, even for her age, and skills in hiding her wilder side, Alice is a very trusted daughter.
Her parents made sure she knew anything she may need to protect herself or handle an emergency, because they often leave her in charge of the house and farm for entire days at a time. Though her mother comes home at night, the times vary and as long as Alice keeps her mother well-informed, she is generally permitted to go on sleepovers and dates (as long as they know the boy's full name, at least) or other events in which her parents trust her judgement on. It is unusual for a teenager of Alice's age to be so trusted, because she makes mistakes just as easily as others do, but she never messes with the wrong crowd and is a naturally cautious person, therefore they know she would never allow herself to do anything too stupid or damaging.
Of course, that's only what they know. Alice has hosted small gatherings at the house before that could almost be called a party, except only a few friends were invited for a horror movie event. She's also snuck out too many times to count and sat on a hill nearby or walked around the farm. Alice has little fear of the dark and cannot stand just sitting out at night. She once earned the title of "vampire" from her friends because of her love of the night, dislike of hot/sunny days, and the fact that Alice also enjoys a good sleep-in during the day.
As long as she looks after the farm and behaves herself in her parent's eyes, Alice lives the sort of life many teenagers would love. Even as she secretly hides her longing to actually see her parents more often and to have a more "normal" family setting. In the past she had run out of things to do, so she'd taken to learning intruments and new skills, all in which she still practices from time to time, but since becoming a teenager she ventured further in her bordom and began to spent a lot more time at the mall with her friends.
