SURFACE LEVEL
APPEARANCE: Alice is well proportioned as a female, standing at 1.65m tall, not too tall, not too short, with a slim figure weighing 50kg which is well endowed in the right places. With long blonde locks, gleaming hazel eyes coupled with soft yet sharp features, many have told her that she looked just like a doll, which always turns her cheeks into a bright shade of red.
  
STYLE: Alice usually dresses up in her favourite colors, blue and yellow, preferring dresses and off shoulder/crops paired with sneakers as her to go, but when she feels like being punk-ish, especially from her influence in rock music, Alice rocks black outfits as well.
DEEP WITHIN
PERSONALITY: ✔️ bright, cheerful, caring, harmonious, self-driven ❌ private, clumsy, stubborn, individualist
PERSONALITY ELABORATION: As a bright and cheerful person, Alice has no trouble getting along with people if they like her. She cares deeply to the ones close to her as long as they do not interfere with her life. She is also very tenacious and self-driven, and when she sets a goal for herself, she will seek to acheive that goal no matter how long it takes her. That mentality can backfire on her though as she becomes very stubborn to do whatever she wants. Even though Alice may seem bright on the outside, she usually keeps her feelings to herself, and often does things on her own as she believes that asking people for help will only burden them.
BACKGROUND: Born into a middle-class family, with both her parents part of the arts industry (father: a luthier, mother: a ballet teacher), it wasn't a surprise when  their daughter picked up a guitar at the age of 3, and ballet at the age of 4. Both parents, believing of their child as a prodigy, furiously pushed her to classes, singing, ballet, piano, guitar, violin, whatever you can think of, even during her elementary school days. Her younger brother was not spared the same fate, too, but he took lesser classes and had free time to himself, being able to go out to play, all because the parents attention were both focused on Alice. Alice's grades eventually dropped, and she entered a relatively unknown junior high, much to her parents dismay as they found out that Alice wouldn't be able to enrol into a prestigious arts school. 
Even in middle school, Alice still continued her classes, joining various competitions, winning most of them, which only made her parents push her even more. But Alice started to dislike it. As a teenage girl, she had stuff she wanted to do, things she wanted to buy, friends she wanted to go out with, and it was impossible in her current situation. Alice began to indulge herself in the next best thing, anime. Anime became Alice's way of escaping from reality, her room gradually filling up with more plush toys and figurines, her parents gladly buying them for their talented daughter.
It wasn't until the first year of high school, at the age of 15, that Alice knew that this life wasn't for her. Finally rebelling against her parents, Alice mustered up her courage and joined the school band, becoming the lead singer and picking up the electric guitar, which she greatly preferred playing compared to the rest of the "classical" instruments she had learnt. It was then Alice developed her dream of becoming a singer. Her regular classes outside became an excuse to sneak out to practice with the band, and Alice also used the class fees given to by her parents to sign up for classes in other dance genres. 
Everything that she did was to be found out by her parents, when a senior executive of a large entertainment company knocked on their door. It turned out that a cover by Alice's school band had been spotted by their company, and Alice, with exceptional vocal skills and guitar playing, was the person the company intended to groom into a celebrity. As a minor, however, Alice needed her parents consent to sign the contract, and them, disappointed that their daughter had not turned out the way they intended her to be, tore up the contract right in her face. A big fight occured that day, with Alice packing up her bag and leaving home, not wanting to see her parents again
She crashed her friend's home for months, and one day, the company that had scouted her told her that her parents had thought things through and approved of the contract, only wanting her to go back to them and to be safe. Reunited in tears, both sides poured out their feelings to each other, and Alice promised them that she'll make both of them proud in another way.
The company had intended for her to be a well rounded entertainer, sending her for a single drama and polishing up her song writing. When Alice had a chance to open up for an anime, she took the opportunity, marking her debut as a singer. The company, however, decided to use Alice as a concept of an Anime singer, not giving her a chance to produce her own albums, but instead, singles for anime openings and closings. This wasn't what Alice had in mind, and even though her songs had millions of views, she felt that it was not of her own success, but the anime's success itself, and Alice eventually made up her mind to leave the company after talking to the management, who had no intention of changing their plans.
Alice had followed kpop and the idols who debuted here, occasionally meeting some of them when she had the rare chance of performing on music shows. She viewed kpop as a whole other level of performance, with TWICE and EXO becoming her role models, and by a of luck, it turned out that Big Hit Entertainment had been keeping an eye on her for a while. Within a month of leaving her previous company, she signed with Big Hit Entertainment, bidding goodbye to her family who were now living comfortably with her royalties. It was a whole new challenge for Alice this time, in a different country, but it was a step to becoming a better performer and to finally shine on stage.

TRAINEE LIFE: It came as a shock to Alice how demanding the training system was like in Korea. With very little hours of sleep; vocal, dance, and language lessons filling up most of the time, it wasn't long, 1month exactly, before Alice faltered due to exhaustion, having to admit into the hospital to get drips, the diet set by the company not helping her. 
But still, she didn't give up. Her first goal was to adapt to the system, and instead of working mindlessly harder, she worked smarter, spending her free time in the company's gym building up her constituition, sneaking in little naps between practices, much to the disgust of other trainees, wondering how on earth did the company signed a person like her.
Her skills proved otherwise, though. Alice often aced her monthly evaluation, her vocal and dance background helping her, although she still had much to learn, especially when it comes singing and dancing TOGETHER. That was the next goal she gave herself. "One step at a time."  
THE STAFF thought of Alice as a well-mannered and likeable person, her usual "good morning!" and "what did you have for breakfast today?" coupled with her infectious smile always brightening up their day, making the atmosphere between them harmonious, even with the crazy amount of work they had to do. With such a character, and with good performance skills, it was no wonder that Alice was one of the company's favourite trainees; she just needed a little bit of polishing.
THE TRAINEES, most of them, however, did not like that fact that a girl who just entered the company was given more opportunities and pushed more, and hence, Alice became a bit of an outcast, often hearing rumors behind her back, "go back to your own country" being the phrase most often heard from korean trainees, but she shrugged it off lightly. The Japanese trainees were instead different to her and they were the people she seeked solace in. Her popularity in Japan made her well-liked among them, and she gave great advice, as well as receiving a few pointers herself.

WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WERE CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN FAVORITE? I think it's because the company sees me as a potential candidate for the new girl group..?Ah, what am I saying, that applies to everyone who was chosen to be here *chuckles softy* I'm not very sure then...
 
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE SHOW?: Eeeh? My voice, my skills, my talents, I just want to show the world that I'm worthy of being here.
 
WHERE WOULD YOU RANK YOURSELF AMONG THE OTHER TRAINEES?: In the middle... I guess? Even though I've plenty of experience, but I still need more improvement, especially on the language... it's difficult. The korean trainees are one step ahead of me in that sense, but I'll climb up, slowly but surely.
 
WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS? WEAKNESSES?: Umm... My voice in general? I've done a lot of anime osts *laughs* As for weaknesses... I think I need to learn how to be in a team after being alone for so long. Hopefully the other girls will like me! And and.. I'm a little clumsy.
COMMENTS: made this character wayyyy into the night (it's 3 a.m. right now) and hopefully you'll be able to love this wonderfully talented, anime loving girl of mine~
SUGGESTIONS/REQUESTS: I just need her to rock her electric guitar singing to one of her famous anime osts :D
PASSWORD: Alice
