APPEARANCE. She has a small mole beneath her right eye, and a small scar on her pinky finger. She has a tattoo on her wrist that she got when she was 17. She also has two normal ear piercings on her earlobe and a cartilage piercing on her right ear.
STYLE. Alice is big on fashion, since it's a big part of her life. She loves monochrome colors, pastel colors, neon colors, everything is in her closet. She has no specific type of style since she can successfully pull off a skirt then turn around and pull on a part of sweat pants, but most of the time, she will dress depending on her mood. If it's a lazy day, she'll put on yoga pants or leggings with a baggy sweeater. If she's in a good mood, she'll put a lot of thought into her outfit. Button up tucked into a skirt with a cardigan on, and jewlery and accessories to top it off. Fashion is a way to express herself and how she may be feeling that day. Due to her sporty nature, she will always prefer sneakers over boots or heels. To her, a pair of Chuck Taylors or Jordans will never go wrong. No matter what though, her favorite style will always include some kind of button up, and she secretly prefers black, white, and grey rather than bright reds and blues.
PERSONALITY TRAITS.
+ confident, playful, loyal, sociable
- shameless, straight forward, emotional/sensitive, impulsive
PERSONALITY. Alice will rarely ever walk with her shoulders slumped and head down unless she's looking at her phone. Anyone that takes a glance at her, can tell that she loves herself, but not to the extent where she's narcissistic. She walks with her back straight while her head is held high, taking in her surroundings. She knows what she's doing, and she thinks well of herself. She knows how to take care of herself, and she knows when she's wrong and when to stop defending herself. She has pride, but it's not overwhelming enough for her to go around boasting enough to everybody. Yet, at the same time, she's not humble either. She knows what she's good at, and she knows how to show it off and display it so that everybody else knows that she's good at it as well. This confident attitude allows her to easily befriend others and get along well with them. She's never been scared of getting rejected, believing that it's better to take the chance than to not bother and cower back. She can easily approach someone in a library, pulling a chair out in front of them and smiling that bright smile of hers before introducing herself. "Hi, I'm Alice! What're you doing, there?" She's the social butterfly in her group of friends, always introducing them to other people so they can join in as well.
Once Alice makes a friend, they will most likely be friends for a long time. The moment she gets attached, she latches onto that person that she's attached to and never lets go. She's a bit clingy, but not to the point where the person would get annoyed and want to shake her off. She's always there for her friends, and would stick by their side no matter what. Even if her friends are clearly in the wrong, she'll defend them. "Yeah, they're wrong, so what?" She'd ask the people who would argue with her. And then she'll state the reasons as to why not only her friends, but the people/person who were arguing with them was wrong as well. She's the jokester of the group, always making everybody laugh and smile. She's not very good with comforting, feeling 100% awkward in those situations, so she's the type of friend that will try to make you laugh away the tears. She wraps her arms tightly around you, and tells you an embarrassing story that she hadn't wanted to tell anyone due to how shameful it had been. Most of the time, if the tears weren't for something too serious, her friends will laugh. If they don't stop by the time she's finished with her story telling, she sits them down and hugs them tightly, rubbing their back. She's silent for the rest of the time, just letting them cry on her shoulder. Because everybody, in her opinion, is allowed to cry once in a while.
The problem is, when it comes to her own emotions, she doesn't know what to do. She refuses to cry most of the time, so she coops herself up in her room and hugs her pillow while playing random games on her phone. Due to her talkative nature, it's very obvious the moment she gets upset since suddenly she's quiet and barely hides her frowns. She tries to mask her emotions, but she tends to be very bad at it. The issue with this is the fact that she gets hurt really easily. She's not hurt by the words that strangers would say on the streets, but if her friend or family says something that may be criticizing in some way, her brows will furrow and she'll sulk for the rest of the day. Sure, she'll get over it, but it'll be in the back of her mind for the remainder of the week. At times, she will act on these emotions, and that's never a good thing. If someone irks her more when she's irritated, she'll throw things and scream. If someone asks her why she's upset when she's sad, she'll suddenly start crying. She's the type of person to not think things through when emotions are running through her.
This causes more problems for Alice and the people that are oh so unfortunate to be there at the time to make sure she doesn't cause a scene. She doesn't worry at all about what others may think of her if she's emotional and venting. Even if she's in public and she's crying her heart out, or yelling at someone else, the thought of people thinking badly of her doesn't even concern her. This could be a good thing occasionally as well. Thanks to her ability to not feel embarrassment, she can approach others easily and ask questions that those close to her may be too shy to ask. She's bold and could care less about what strangers think of her. She tells people directly what's on her mind, sometimes not even thinking of how they may respond. Sometimes she'll stop herself before she can so she doesn't hurt another person's feelings, but most of the time, she goes all out on her opinion. This is a bit hypocritical of her, since she herself is hurt very easily by others. If she finds that something is wrong, she voices it quickly. If someone asks her for her opinion, she won't lie to them and won't sugarcoat her words for them. Overall, Alice is makes more trouble for people than anything. But once that factor of her is gotten used to, she's a good friend. She doesn't put a mask for anyone to see, and she's herself everywhere no matter what.

older brother | Austin Liang | part-time librarian/student | alive | 9
father | Liang Zhiqiang | gym teacher | alive | 8
mother | Liang Suyun | cafe owner | alive | 8
FRIENDS.
best friend | Kim Chanmi | student | When Alice first moved to Korea, Chanmi was the first person she met. So naturally, they became close friends due to their similar personalities. They never really got tired of each other, so they stayed close. | 9
close friend | Amber Liu | idol | Alice met Amber through Peniel, and they just clicked. Amber liked Alice's outgoing personality, and Alice liked Amber's sense of humor and the comfort she provided by just being there. | 7
close friend | Peniel Shin | idol | They met through After School Club After Show. Alice made Peniel laugh more than he had in a long time, according to him, and she was just happy that someone would finally laugh to her stupid remarks. Her friendly nature had drawn him to her, and the moment they started talking, they just became close. | 8
friend | Eric Nam | idol | Eric and her met the same way Peniel and her did, through the show that Eric hosts. Occasionally, Eric will feel embarrassed by Alice's straight-forwardness and how outgoing she can be at moments, but he enjoys having her playful and confident attitude around. She, on the other hand, just enjoys stealing his blazers (and his cute laugh when she says something funny but sh don't tell). | 8
OTHERS.
ex-boyfriend | Ivan Kang | student | They dated back in high school, and met through mutual friends. Since Ivan was more of the reserved type and she was the exact opposite, they didn't get along very well when they went out for dates. She moved to Korea, and coincidentally he moved there as well once he graduated. | 4
dance teacher | Kim Jiae | dance instructor | Alice was hesitant to stay once her brother had left Virgo, but it was mostly because of her dance instructor that she did. She looks up to her and admires her, even if it may not show with her attitude. | 6
"man crush monday" | Ahn Jaehyun | model | her first experience with meeting her celebrity crush, was on a variety show, and she couldn't help but express her adoration for him and embarrass herself in the process. (But she still managed to get his number after the shoot was over.) | 4
BACKGROUND. A little baby was born on the 28th of December. Her mother told her that it was snowing the day it happened, and in contrast to the snow, the little baby named Alice Liang had warmed up her heart. Alice grew up in a cheerful family of five with her mom, dad, and two brothers. Mama Liang was so happy to finally have a girl in the family of boys that she dressed her little girl in dresses daily. She dressed her daughter until she turned three, but the precious baby loved dresses so much by then, she refused to wear anything else even when she was playing catch with her oldest brother and when she was playing with action figures with the second brother. So thanks to her mother, Alice never forgot her sense of fashion even when she was doing her best to beat Aiden at soccer.
Alice and her family lived in America for most of the years, so she went through most of her high school years there. She was popular, known for her outgoing and cheerful personality. She made friends, but still, she insisted that her brothers were her best friends. There was something about the popular girls in her school that she just didn't like, and it might've been their backstabbing personalities. She told her brothers everything that upset her and they became her everything. Her brothers played such a big part in her life, always going to Austin when she needed help with homework and always going to Aiden if she wanted to relieve stress through sports or games. The three siblings were always together in school, inseperable despite how different their personalities were. So when Aiden told the family that he wanted to go to Korea to pursue his dream of being a dancer, everybody decided to go with him.
So Alice, a bit early in her sophomore year of high school and at the young age of 14, moved to Korea along with her family. It's normal for a transfer student to feel out of place when they first step into the school, and Alice did. Luckily, that feeling didn't stay for long, because the moment she sat down at her desk she started talking to the girl next to her. Kim Chanmi was her name, and they instantly became friends. Chanmi was another Aiden, someone who enjoyed sports just as much as her. So together with her new friend, Alice joined as many sports teams as she could to feel more involved in school. Thanks to this, she quickly made more friends (but stayed close to her first and original of course) and again, became popular. The only upsetting thing about to her when she moved to Korea, was the less time she got to spend with her oldest (and secretly favorite) brother.
Aiden was never home. She was in 10th grade and he was already in his senior year of high school. He was either always stressing about school work, or practicing dance somewhere in an empty studio. It was the day that she turned 15, that Aiden had forgotten her birthday. No matter how much the family called him, no matter how many texts Austin had angrily sent him, he didn't come home. Normally, the youngest sister wouldn't be upset over such small things, but since it was her oldest (and again, secretly favorite), brother, she was beyond upset, she was miserable on the day of her birth. Aiden came home at 11:00 that night after reading his messages and running home. He saw his sister crying and immediately apologized, telling her he'd never do it again.
Alice never knew how Aiden could be so passionate about something, that he'd forget his own sibling's birthday. This urged her to try something new, something she would love just as much as Aiden did with dance. She made a YouTube channel, trying new things here and there. She tried to sing, which she found was not so good, and then she tried playing instruments, which she discovered that she did sort of enjoy as a hobby. But then she covered Haru Haru by BIGBANG, and when people commented on how good her rapping voice was, she beamed. It was something she enjoyed, and it was something she was good at. She found something she could do just as happily as her brother did with dance...but something was missing.
She did enjoy rapping, but how was that going to allow her to be closer with Aiden? Yes, he came home more now, but he was still out a lot, which didn't really allow her much time with him. So one day she waited for him to come home and dropped the question. "Can you teach me how to dance?" He was shocked at first, but complied. Thus, started their late night dancing lessons. He usually only taught her the simple things, but everytime she got something right, he would look at her with such pride that she felt happiness build up inside of her. Slowly, she started dancing on her own even when her brother wasn't home. She covered songs and posted them on her channel along with her vocal covers. Alice slowly began to enjoy dancing more and more, and it was becoming just as much as a passion for her as it was for her brother.
Two years later, her brother joined a dance group named "Virgo". She had always been curious as to what made her brother so happy when he came home, and she realized that maybe it was the fact that now he got to do everything he loved. He managed to persuade her to join, talking to the dance instructor to let her into the little family of dancers. She enjoyed it just as much as her sibling did, and her parents and second brother were simply happy that she was happy. Even after Aiden left the group, she stayed so she could keep that connection with dancing. Virgo practice videos were occasionally uploaded on her channel every now and then, and she still did covers of songs. She was in bliss, because everything was going right for her. She was happy. But the decision to be an idol was the hardest one for her. The decision to let Virgo be under the care of an entertainment company was hard for all the girls, but she questioned if she would really like it. With lots of thought and encouragement from her parentals and brothers (Austin especially, since he had always about becoming famous), she decided that it would be the best decision.

HOW YOU MET. "Hey, Jackson! This is Alice, Alice, this is Jackson." The boy had immediately pulled her into a hug, catching Alice by surprise. Peniel and Amber had brought her to a party against her will and introduced all their friends to her. The only one that really left a lasting impression on her was Jackson, due to the fact that when he had hugged her, his hand had brushed against her . Of course, her automatic reaction was to punch him, but after seeing his completely embarrassed expression, she decided against it and instead, to make the situation less awkward, smile and brush it off. "He's lucky he's cute." Alice had told Amber later who had snickered at the story.
INTERACTIONS. If opposites attract, what happens when two very similar people come together? Well, if we're talking about the same poles of a magnet, of course they'll repel. Alice doesn't like the way Jackson tells some of his jokes. She finds some of his humor crude, and doesn't enjoy it at all. On the other hand, Jackson absolutely adores being around Alice. He always has her arm around her shoulder, hand quickly slipping into hers when she's not paying attention, and he can't help but look only at her when she's around. It's obvious that Jacksoon likes her, but Alice is too stupid to figure that out no matter how many hints he drops. Yeah, they're friends right now even though Alice winces when he tells a joke she doesn't really like the sound of, but she's never considered being more with him. Yet, two similar poles can still be pushed together somehow. When Alice finally realizes Jackson's feelings for her, she feels awkward at first, but after giving it some time and seeing that he was completely serious about trying to be with her, she accepts him. Their relationship is pretty much the same, except now, she returns his hugs that were once one-sided, squeezing his hand when he puts his in hers, and she puts her arm around his waist the moment his is placed around her shoulders.
