PERSONALITY |[/font]
Alice is victim of an over active imagination. Alice although very social, she would much rather lay about and daydream or create stories in her head. Often if you awaken her from one of these dreaming episodes she still thinks she is in her fantasy. It can get very hard for her to differentiate between the real world and Alice's world. When she has been alone for two long she often makes up imaginary friends that she talks to, but once she comes in contact with another individual they usually disappear.
If you happen to catch Alice on a normal day, she is a normal seeming dog. She is nice, very intelligent, spunky and always in search of a good time. She is sort of an adrenaline junky meets dare devil. She loves the feeling of adrenaline pumping through her veins. There isn't a dare in the world Alice wouldn't do. She would go to great lengths to prove someone wrong and prove herself. Alice is a great individual to be with if you just want to forget the world and pretend you have no problems in your life. Alice's life is just one big game of pretend.
Love is something that intrigues Alice more than anything. She is a firm believer of fairy tails and happy endings. Despite her mother's luck, she thinks all males have a good side to them. A side capable of true love. True love hopefully meant for her. She wants more than anything to have a family. To raise puppies of her own and have a loving mate. Any male Alice meets is a candidate. When she is around males, she can either be very shy and reserved trying to create a good first impression, or she can be adventurous and flirty. It all depends on who Alice wants to be that day. Her personality tends to change a lot.
Peace is another thing Alice values. She hates bloodshed, it usually makes her ill to her stomach. Therefore she has hidden herself from it deep within the Lexis Tribe. To her, that is the last remaining peace-filled land. Alice loves cats. Since she was raised by cats she loves them all deeply. Especially tigers. Alice finds tigers to be the most beautiful creatures in the entire world. She admires their beauty and strength. Alice would fight to the death for any cats, she feels she has an obligation to do so.• likes | daydreaming, cloud watching, stories, kittens, puppies, tigers, brindled dogs, summer, swimming, running, conversing, dares, cliff jumping, males.

APPEARANCE |[/font]
For her border collie breed, Alice is considered a runt. She is pretty small with a very dainty build. Very small paws and legs with a elegant yet bony frame. She would look quite under weight and unhealthy if it weren't for her flowing coat. Her face is very girly and soft in features. A medium sized snout leads up to a softly rounded skull. Alice is slightly underweight so her belly curves up more drastically than most. It looks normal because of her fur, but when it is wet she almost looks like she has a greyhound's torso. Her legs are long and make up a majority of her height. Since she is a herding dog, they are built to carry her swiftly. Alice has a beautiful tail, barely touching the ground and flowing from it are feather like strands of fur. It looks like a banner when she runs.
The way her fur is colored is really what makes Alice eye-catching. She is a blue merle. Therefore, her pelt has varying mixtures of blues, greys, blacks, and browns splotched together. Her face is made up of mainly blue-grey and black. Her brows and part of her cheeks are a caramel brown color. Her back and the back of her ruff are blue grey with black patches mixed in with them. On her sides and part of her chest brown also mixes itself in. She has brilliant white stockings and underbelly that never seem to get dirty. Her fur texture is very, very soft. Almost like a newborn pup's. She cleans it constantly, something she picked up from her feline mother.• height | 16 in.

HISTORY | [/font]
Alice was born to an unknown mother, and an unknown father. She was taken care of until she w as old enough to survive on her own without her mother's milk and then left. While she was asleep one night her mother slipped away. Her father was never seen by her. All she remembers of her mother is she was pure white with piercing blue eyes and she never spoke. Ever. There were also no other siblings, just Alice.
Alice spent an entire night by herself. She was cold, hungry, and scared. Her mother had taught her nothing. No hunting techniques, no simple survival tips nothing. She was completely up to her own devices. Lucky or her, the next morning she was found by a stranger. The stranger soon became her adoptive mother. The only creature she would ever view as her mother figure. The passerby happened to be a middle aged tiger by the name of Eleanor. Eleanor had a litter of cubs herself once, but they had been killed by enemy dogs when they were only days old. Her mate had died defending them. Since the death of her family, Eleanor had left her pride and became a loner. Her life had been boring and she had been dangerously depressed. After she found Alice her life had changed.
In ways Alice had saved Eleanor and vice versa. Eleanor took care of Alice as if she were her own cub. Taught her how to hunt, hide, fight, and find alternate food sources. Alice could even fish like one of the big cats. The tigeress made sure to inform Alice she was not a cat, and told her only the positive things about the canines. Making the young collie proud of herself, at this point she knew nothing of the wars between the two species. After a while, Eleanor bestowed Alice with the name she wears today. Saying it had been her own Mother's name. Alice was proud of her name, proud to be named after her grandmother.
Time went on and Alice had only interacted with her tiger mother. The two were best friends and care-givers to the both of them. Eleanor had started to decrease in health. Her hips were getting bad and when Alice turned one year old, Eleanor couldn't walk at all. Alice had to hunt for her and bring her water. It was a very hard time for Eleanor. Watching her proud, beautiful mother lay there helpless and dying.
Two months later, Eleanor died. Alice was beyond heart broken. She stayed by her mother's dead body for weeks until the smell of decay chased her away, and also scarred her. It was then her sever day dreaming and pretending started. She would spend days without eating and just lay there and dream. She'd dream that Eleanor was back and they were running together and hunting. Most of her dreams involved Eleanor.
Alice is now two and a half years old. She's been wandering about the city for the last year and a half. However, now she has come across the Lexis Tribe. A tribe that contains both canines and felines. The closest to feeling at home Alice will ever be, since her beloved care giver is gone. The future for Alice is unclear, but she is hoping to move forward with her life and someday have a daughter she can name Eleanor.
