History:
Let's cut right to the chase, when Alyss was born her parents were in no fit state to care for her. Instead of shipping their daughter off to an orphanage they decided to send her to live with her only remaining relative, her grandmother. Alyss's grandmother lived in Austin, Texas, and that's where Alyss lived until she was fourteen. Helena Mathers was an amazing parental figure for Alyss, and made a much better guardian than Alyss's mother and father ever could have. Throughout her childhood Alyss barely heard anything from her parents, aside from the odd birthday card, on the years they remembered. Sometimes Alyss would get very upset about the fact that her parents obviously hadn't wanted her, but her sadness never lasted long, as Helena was always there to reassure her that she was loved.
At school Alyss was always picked on, because she developed her strange dress sense at a very young age. It was tough, trying to be herself when everyone was telling her not to be, well, everyone except Helena.
When Alyss was fourteen Helena surprised her with the most amazing birthday present she could ever imagine. They were moving to New York so that Alyss could go to school there! It was perfect because Alyss got to have a fresh new start, which is all she'd ever wanted.
Unfortunately with the stress of moving Helena became very ill. Most of Alyss's Sophomore and Junior years she spent at home looking after her grandmother. Which is why, after her grandmothers tragic passing, she had to re-take those two years again. It was lucky that her grandmother left so much to Alyss, or chances were she'd be living on the streets, without any chance of a proper education or future, and for that Alyss thanks her grandmother everyday.
Personality:
Alyss is odd to say the least. It's not all she is, of course, but it is the biggest part of her personality. Sometime's her general weirdness is seen as too much, and sometimes people love her for it. I guess you either love Alyss, or you hate her, and there's not really and in between. Though quiet and shy to begin with it doesn't take Alyss much time to come out of her shell with new people.
Alyss is what you would describe as 'socially awkward', but not in the Ooops, I just fell over in front of my crush, how embarrassing!, way, more in the, I want some pizza but I am literally too scared to pick up the phone and call a guy and tell him what I want on my pizza. This leads to her relying on people to do things for her. The socially awkwardness melts away once she's gotten to know someone, but with strangers things can get quite difficult.
Just looking at her you'd expect Alyss to be a very confident person, but that's just how she dresses. The fashion sense of Alyss screams; I give no fucks! Whereas her mind screams; Don't stare at me, I'm sorry I'm so weird! You'll rarely see Alyss without a full face of makeup on, because she feels uncomfortable without it. Makeup is her mask, and she likes it that way.
Other personality traits which explain themselves really: Helpful. Goofy. Sassy. Caring. Empathetic. Tough.
Appearance:
Alyss stands at 5"4, without her high heels on, but trust me, you're more likely to see her with them on than off. Some of her high heels can add an extra seven inches to her height. Alyss's hair is naturally blonde, but long ago she decided to bleach it a much lighter shade and add black to it also. It's a look that she believes is truly unique, regardless of it being slightly inspired by Sweeney Todd. Generally speaking Alyss's hair is hard to work with, it takes a lot of time to get it looking good, so on busy days Alyss just throws it up in to a side ponytail and leaves it at that. On fancier days she'll really go to town on her hair, and makeup, and she's really talented when she puts her mind to it.
On to her face ... Well, Alyss has rather large bright blue eyes. They're almost too blue, and people ask her whether she wears contacts. Alyss has always been conscious about her mouth and teeth, believing that they're too big for her face, which could be true. It doesn't help that she uses bright red lipstick a lot of the time, so peoples eyes are automatically drawn to her mouth.
Alyss's fashion sense can't really be described in words, here are some photos;
Other:
- Always carries a picture of herself and her grandmother.
- Favorite holiday is Halloween.
- Allergic to bee stings.
