Last one! Hurray! Now I can do other things with my evenings after this long and tiring week! Thanks for stopping by and reading through all of these if you have! Also, more super lulzy screenshots for this one – girl was made to make angry faces in The Sims 3.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Astrological Sign (Eastern): <\/b>Boar<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ethnicity:<\/b> Caucasian (Irish, Scottish, English, German, Swiss)<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Voice: <\/b>Medium<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Physique: <\/b>Slim<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes: <\/b>Alicia is conventionally pretty and dresses appropriately for her station.  <\/span>She\u2019s had short hair for most of her life but goes through stages of coloring it or layering it in new ways to keep it \u201cinteresting\u201d. Currently it\u2019s her natural color and a simple part\/layer, as she\u2019s too tired to do anything else with it. Her skin is a little more on the pale side since even in summer she takes pains to cover up \u2013 she doesn\u2019t tan, she burns.<\/div>\n

Family<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mother: <\/b>Cassandra Greene<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Father: <\/b>(Capt.) Henry Greene (ret.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Siblings: <\/b>Simone Greene (little sister)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pets: <\/b>None<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes: <\/b>Alicia comes from a very privileged background: her family is upper middle class and from a good neighborhood in urban Boston where her father\u2019s family has lived for hundreds of years. Her mother is a homemaker and her father is a retired military officer now working in local politics. Both of her parents are conservative in morality and world views, and this causes a constant source of conflict in Alicia\u2019s conversations with her parents, particularly her father. Regardless, she loves them and supports her little sister\u2019s rebellions against them by becoming involved with more \u201cradical\u201d culture.<\/div>\n

Career\/Education<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Degree: <\/b>Bachelor\u2019s in Political Science and Community Service, Working towards Law degree<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
School: <\/b>Large public university (grad student)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Job: <\/b>None, but holds various volunteer positions<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Boss\/Supervisor\/Commander: <\/b>None<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Former Jobs: <\/b>Various internships at non-profits and law offices<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ambitions\/Goals: <\/b>To become a lawyer dealing with non-profits and social welfare<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes: <\/b>Alicia is capable of recognizing the privileges of her background but doesn\u2019t necessarily understand what they entail, hence her foray into social justice. She gained first interested doing community service work with the homeless in high school, and decided to focus her future law studies on non profits and social welfare. She was accepted into various universities and law schools back east near her home in Boston but decided to get as far away from her family as possible and instead attended a large, public university on the west coast, much to her parents\u2019 chagrin. She currently doesn\u2019t have a job and instead focuses on her studies as a first year law student full time.  <\/span>Her parents supplement her expenses, such as her rent and general bills (and tuition, of course) while her boyfriend pays for the food.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Sexuality<\/b>: Bisexual<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Status: <\/b>In a relationship with Devon Anderson<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Turn Ons: <\/b>Goals, self-worth, androgyny<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Turn Offs: <\/b>Time wasters, no drive, hyper-masculinity<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First Lover (Female): <\/b>Myra Langley (college)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First Lover (Male): <\/b>Jack Jacobson (high school)<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Best Friend: <\/b>Jenna Hayworth<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Other Friends: <\/b>Philip Roberts, Heidi Montgomery<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How Others See Her: <\/b>Determined, short-tempered, spoiled<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sub\/Dom: <\/b> <\/span>Switches, depending on partner<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes: <\/b>Alicia is currently closeted in her bisexuality and instead lets everyone \u2013 including her boyfriend Devon \u2013 assume that she is straight. Even her best friend Jenna doesn\u2019t know that she\u2019s also interested in women, or even that she used to be in a relationship with one. The biggest reason for all of this is because of intense pressure from her parents to conform to the heteronormative life, and since she\u2019s in a heterosexual relationship it\u2019s easier to just ignore the other side of her sexuality.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Her current relationship with Devon is strained and \u201cgoing nowhere\u201d from her end. Even though they\u2019ve been together for almost a year, Alicia doesn\u2019t see the relationship lasting more than a few months, especially if Devon is unable to find a job. Most of the time she\u2019s unsure if she even loves him. <\/div>\n

Notes: <\/b>Alicia spends most of her free time talking current events with her classmates\/colleagues or doing volunteer work in her surrounding communities \u2013 if it\u2019s daylight and she\u2019s not moving, she feels like she about to die. Her evenings are more relaxed and she\u2019ll usually sit on the couch and watch TV or a movie with whoever is around. Like her wardrobe, Alicia likes her favorites to exude a sense of high class that\u2019s leftover from her upbringing. <\/div>\n

Notes: <\/b>Alicia lives a double-life between her professional and private worlds: to her coworkers and classmates she is stable, compassionate, and patient, while at home she\u2019s quick to frustration and lashing out at her loved ones. Most of this has festered after her last relationship crumbled and she never really recovered before rebounding with Devon, whom she takes most of her anger out on. <\/div>\n

Relationship to Author<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ways she\u2019s like me: <\/b> <\/span>We\u2019re both spoiled children who want too much from the world<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ways she\u2019s not like me: <\/b>She\u2019s a bigger activist than I am, although even on my end I question how sincere she is about what she\u2019s doing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes: <\/b>Alicia has had a very subtle change over the passing years of drafting and editing the overall story. While her role hasn\u2019t changed much, her standing and relationships to all the other characters has shifted rather dramatically (although so slowly I barely even noticed) from minor-character to semi-main-character in the end. The hardest part of developing her for me was discovering the motivation for her bitterness, which made me really happy to eventually figure out because then it let me help her develop into a character that \u201creclaims\u201d herself later on in the series for the better. (Also, Alicia was only meant to be in the first book, but will now officially be in every one with varying degrees of involvement.) I decided to add her here as the fifth character this week after some deliberation because she\u2019s one of the few human minor characters to have a more pivotal role in the overall series.<\/div>\n
