beginning with you and i.

• other characters. none yet
• Note: the first section is from a year ago, so read all the way down…I didn’t feel like making a new bio so I took an old character and just changed a few things. The second section is shorter, but an update, sort of, on how my character has grown in that year. Also, if there are any name mistakes, it’s because I missed some when going back.
we tried so hard to understand.

• portrayal. Emmy Rossum
• picture.
• style. Alice dresses up for no reason; she can randomly be seen in breezy summer dresses during the winter, or skirt suits, just because she feels like it. There is no reason to her dress and not much thought either. Somehow, no matter what hideous things she clashes together, it works for her. She does know when to dress appropriately, like for her father's business or formal dinners. Wants to be a designer, and often wears her own creations.
for a pessimist, i'm pretty optimistic.
• likes. music; design; fashion; music (yes, that is twice haha)

• strengths. always surprises people; extremely strong for her small size; amazing artist, but focuses in design
• weaknesses. mother; death; family; animals; shy; jack of all trade: good at everything she attempts, but doesn’t really excel in any of them- the best being fashion design, as per influence from her sister Lily
• fears. loss of other close friends/family
• hopes. to be a designer, or at least an entertainer or artist
• overall personality. Alice is a practical go-getter. She takes things as they come to her and never pushes. She has very strong, independent, and gregarious personality with all types of people. She generally doesn’t mistrust a person unless given a reason. She is smart, when she puts her mind to it, but instead often tries to pretend that she isn’t, unless being intelligent befits the situation. She is, however, highly competitive, and will go to any means to win. Alice can’t stand not winning, a trait she has inherited from her all-business father.
The youngest Demming is a lot quieter than her older brother and sister; and although is pretty, she is different to her sister and often gets ignored by her father and overshadowed by her older siblings. She has also probably taken her Mom's death the worst and it is common for her to just not talk for a couple of days and then go out on an evening, get completely drunk, do things with someone or other. Then you hear the rumours for the next couple of days. Lily tries to talk to her about it, and is probably the closest to her of the Demming family. As Lily's friends say: "the girl has issue's dude."
a memory remains; just a tiny spark.

• transportation. cannot drive, but will receive a car for her 16th birthday
• overall history. Alice Alice Demming was born into a wealthy family in Richmond County, North Carolina. She was born the youngest child of three, so naturally by then her parents had figured out the best way to raise a child through trial and error.
As a young girl, she expressed interest in everything from art to music to sports. She did great in everything she tried, but never stood out more than average at any of them, save fashion design. When she was 8, she submitted a sketch to a magazine competition and lied about her age. The judges chose her as the winner but she was ultimately disqualified because the competition was for ages 10 through 16 and the prize went to the runner-up. Since her win, Alice has been interested in fashion design and is determined to become the next Oscar or Vera. She designs for all different types, and models her designs herself. She also has her sister and brother modeling her designs for her when she needs them.
When Alice was 12, her mother, an artist herself, was in a horrid automobile accident. Alice was seemingly the most affected child by this. Instead of pulling together with her siblings, she pulled away in retreat. She became withdrawn and at that point, completely unpredictable.
Some days she spends engrossed in her thoughts or activities, others drinking and partying till past dawn. She never cared what people thought of her, and she probably never will.
scribbled out the truth with their lies.
~~~~~~ One Year Later ~~~~~~
my sorry eyes can see.
• age. 16
• grade. junior
• sexual orientation. heterosexual
• hair color. dirty blonde
• height. 5 foot 7 1/2 inches
• weight. 99
• style. Alice dresses with the same amount of thought as she did last year. Lately, she has gravitated toward bohemian chic and boxy cuts.
all the possiblities.
• personality. Outwardly, Alice seems a bit "different". Though she has made it a point to not act so spacey, she still has her moments. She has also become more social since her mother's death, depriving herself of love from the inside out. Though she seems more normal than usual, she often feels guilty for not being as sad-stricken over the loss of her mother and compensates by punishing herself. A series of thin scars have bar-coded the arm below her inner elbow, covered up with large bangles. She has followed her siblings footsteps into the unhealthy lifestyle habits of partying endlessly, no longer taking time out to disappear and recover from such stints.
• hopes. One day life will be normal again; to be a designer
• fears. loss of other close friends/family/boyfriend
• habits.has no set habits, other than carrying a large tote bag with fabric scraps, a notebook, and pencils and erasers.
• boy/girlfriend. boyfriend (to be decided eventually...subplot maybe? hopefully? lol)
i never learn.

- started seeing a psychiatrist for several reasons (panic and anxiety attacks, PTSD, family problems)
