Alice Treadwell "Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual,
thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else."
-- Richard Adams, Watership Down

Overview

Appearance: Alice is a pretty young woman with very long brown hair (sometimes pinned up under a hat) and bright blue eyes, and a quirky fashion sense that tends very femme and occasionally flirts with classic lolita or other unique fashion trends. She loves color, she loves quirky accessories, and tends to be somewhat covered-up, even in summertime. When she wears particularly sheer blouses or short sleeves, scars can sometimes be seen on her arms.

Personality: Light-hearted is the phrase most would use to describe Alice on first meeting her. She seems carefree and playful, with a love of wordplay and a smirk that comes easily to her lips. Some might even say it seems like everything comes easily to her. But this is all a surface layer over something more.

The Alice under the surface is a survivor, someone who's been through a lot of pain in her few decades on this earth. She's a little calculating, and her loyalty is to herself at this point, before anyone else. Alice is doggedly determined to make it through any obstacle between herself and happiness.

New in Town - Formerly of Norfolk, Virginia, Alice is relocating in the aftermath of her divorce, and needs help finding all the most important and interesting spots in town. She can be spotted wandering the streets, trying to get a feel for Philadelphia (which is a far cry from the military town she came from).

Walk, Walk Fashion Baby - Alice's fashion sense draws attention from onlookers. She's the sort of person who'll dress like a perfect 1950's housewife one day, and the next day try a classic lolita coordinate with lots of frills and lace. She's often seen at thrift stores or malls, looking for interesting pieces to incorporate into her wardrobe, and anyone who makes accessories or jewelry can bet on her interest in their work.

She's Into Superstitions - While it's hard to say if she believes all of them, Alice knows all sorts of superstitions, omens, auspicious symbols and folklore relating to luck. There's moments when she'll call something out as a sign of good or ill fortune; when she does so, it's often a good idea to listen. Her 'gut feelings' are more reliable than some people's common sense.

Book of Dreams - Alice has taken a job at Book's, an occult bookstore in town. She's a decent salesperson, and seems to have a good store of genuine knowledge regarding the arcane, the occult and the occluded to bring to the table.
