- First Paragraph: To strangers, Alice is an oddity. Due to her mutism, it is common for her to be treated with disdain or avoided. Alice, in turn, only smiles. Despite her mutism restriction, her personality is quiet and personal, the only thing she wants to do is learn and as such, she isn't bothered by others to accomplish this, willing to ignore them or even push past them to get what she wants to know.
- Second Paragraph: Internally, Alice is very patient and happy with herself. She grew up easy and is always learning more and more, exactly as she wants. The only thing she truly wishes is that she could speak so that she could communicate easier with the scholars around her. Acting as a restriction, her mutism stops halts her communication skills at a rather inconvenient point as its difficult for her to describe what she means to do or how she means to do anything.
- Third Paragraph: Friends and family are the most important thing in Alice's life. They are the only thing that keeps her from being lost in her own thoughts or losing herself to her studying. They've kept her in reality and she's ever thankful for it, always putting them before herself. Whether her friends or her family, as long as she's with them she's happy. They put her at ease and comfort her.
- Fourth Paragraph: Morally, Alice follows a balance. Normally, she is a happy, quiet person who loves trying new things and when someone bad mouths her or insults her, she mature enough to take it without any backlash, but when someone hits her, whether in anger or rage, she believes she then has right to defend herself and will with all the force of her knowledge and power.
Talents
- Studious: Throughout her numerous years of school, Alice has learned the best way to study for her. Normally studying alone, Alice reads over her material quickly, taking note of the most notable terms before going back through slowly and more carefully. This way Alice's mind will make note of these key terms she marked earlier, thus helping her remember them.
- Alchemical Knowledge: Due to Alice's work with her mother and at the school, she has acquired a large amount of alchemical knowledge. Knowing how to gather, produce, and store many different concoctions, Alice is highly efficient in the laboratory. She may be mute, but she knows what she's doing.
- Expressive: Being mute, Alice is unable to show her sarcasm through normal means. In order to reprimand that, Alice has learned to make her body and facial features represent her emotions. Sarcasm, annoyance, humor, all of these emotions have their normal tells, though Alice accents these to make her feelings known.
Weaknesses:
- Mute: Alice became mute after having to go through the psychological trauma that was losing her mother. No matter how much she tries, she can never make any sound emerge from her lips. Because of this, she is seriously restricted when it comes to communication and working with other people.
Early Life:
- Born on December 14, 280 AC, Alice was the first-born child of Gerard and Margaret Malum, a guard and a scholar respectfully. While her father made more than enough money to support, it was her mother that Alice had the greatest connection with. Despite being their only child, that didn't stop her parents from showing their love. Giving everything to their new daughter, this caused Alice to grow up with an easy life, though she wasn't free from tragedy. Many times throughout her life with her parents, Alice would be home when a messenger can to detail an incident with his father and some petty criminal.
- As she grew older, she began to show many traits of her mother. More than just her looks, Alice showed her willingness and wanting to learn. Often occupying her mother in her studies, particularly in alchemy. After reading of alchemy's great Noble Goals, Alice fell in love with the idea and begged to be sent to study the great art.
School Life:
- Starting at the L'Académie Alchimique de Villeneuve in Ithania, Alice spent 10 years learning all she could. While she was there, she was bullied and laughed at due to her shyness. She quickly learned to deal with this, pushing away the insults of others and burying herself in her studies to avoid them. It wasn't long till she turned her back on the academy and headed home.
- When she arrived at her home, her life slowly returned to normal. She forgot all the rude and insulting people and happily worked alongside her mother. At around this time, she was at the age that she was supposed to be married. Her father, because of this, had found a line up of suitors for her. Despite this, when they found out she was shy and a scholar, they all turned away or worse, hit her, struck her where she stood. When she lamented this to her father, he was furious at began to teach her the way of her people's fencing, so that his daughter could never again be injured this way.
Adult Life:
- In the brief time that she had returned home, tragedy had struck fully in her life. As she was with her mother, collecting herbs and resources in a nearby thicket, bandits and brigands befelled the pair. Kidnapped and captured, they were stolen away and hidden. In an effort to extort her family, Alice's mother was used and tortured in front of the poor girl. Her screams had mixed with her mother's until it seemed to fade from her throat. Eventually rescued, she was returned to her home along with the body of her mother, who was quickly given a funeral, though Alice's voice had not come back.
- Finally, while home with her family, she became a member of the Alchimia Order, having sent Nadina Haavan a letter asking for admittance in order to embolden her mother's memory.
