Alice "Alec" Walker

Basic Information

Full Name: Alice Aeron Walker

Nickname / Code Name: Alec (nickname), Ceadis (alias)

Age: 25 years old

Gender: Female

Sexual Preference: Demisexual

Race: Human (witch ancestry)

Profession: Information Broker/Thief

Birthday: June 10th

Spoken Languages: English. Knows a little French, but nowhere near enough to be labeled as proficient.

Economical Status: Somewhere in the upper lower or lower middle class.

Face Claim: Susan Coffey


Appearance:

Hair: Slightly unruly and very wavy red hair. Red might be dyed or a product of magic, but she isn’t too telling about it.

Eyes: Average shaped, sized, and positioned hazel eyes

Skin tone: Pale

Height: She’s roughly 5’4”

Build: She’s thin, with longer, thinner muscles that are easily hidden within her frame and don’t necessarily bulk her up. She would refer to her body type as close to or just under average.

Birthmarks/Freckles/Scars: She has some freckles and a notable birthmark on her right leg. Scars are much more common, mostly of them the results of childhood accidents. The ones on her hands are the results of carelessness with knives.

Other: Witching abilities cause her eyes to temporarily shift in color to something close to but not quite yellow.

Fashion Sense / Dress Style: Alec prefers jeans and simpler shirts, just because of the practicality and her decision not to waste the funds she has on clothes and accessories. However she does own clothes of every formality, mostly so infiltrating is easier whenever she has to do it.


Personality:

Attitude: Alec is, or at least she believes herself to be, clever. Not a mastermind or anything of the like, but clever in her own way that helps her. Which wouldn’t be bad argument, really, considering she’s got an eye for reading body language and understands hidden meanings enough to at least attempt to string someone along if she so wished, though she doesn’t enjoy this as much as she enjoys sarcasm and vaguely witty comments. She’s also clever enough to pick up skills somewhat easily, though she has a problem with languages and, well, most of the skills she wants to learn aren’t for her to set up a legal operation. Her type of clever isn’t smart, though; while she did go through public education and is rather bright, she isn’t too interested in learning unless it’s for a purpose, and thus knows a little about a lot of different topics.
She’s far more concerned with her own survival than friends, and it’s obvious in her demeanor. She tends to be cool, calculating, and dismissive, even to those she’s been previously acquainted with because she realizes that, while thieves tend to stick together, money and fame are far more important than comradeship. In a strange twist of irony, however, Alec has a sort of code, which is far more honorable than might be expected of an information thief: she doesn’t believe in turning others in the business into the authorities, nor does she believe in intentionally sabotaging anything or harming innocents, which to her mostly consists of civilians. And by harming, she mostly follows a Robin Hood sort of deal: if they can afford to lose it, then she’s willing to take it. Her own almost self-imposed poverty gives her enough of a reason to follow that logic; she keeps what little she wants and needs to live and tends to use the rest to employ the poor and homeless to spy for her.
Her strange form of honor aside, she views forming lasting bonds as something not to take seriously. From her upbringing she puts a lot of value on family and, because of that, wants to keep herself from a situation where she would want to help anyone out from the goodness of her heart; while she won’t turn thieves in, she won’t save them if they get themselves into trouble and doesn’t want to. She’s kind of uncomfortable with familiarity (she prefers to be the silent watcher in the room, but that might just be because she likes spying) and is definitely not comfortable with friendship. She dislikes being dependent on someone or something and is thus convinced she needs to be almost entirely self-reliant, even if she believes this is a bad plan. She dislikes being in debt to someone even more, to the point of refusing offers of help because she doesn’t want to get unintentionally tied to another person.

Pets: She owns a female black cat that she found living in the dumpsters. It’s smaller than normal and Alec named her Sock just because the cat likes trying to fit herself into socks of various sizes.

Background / History: She was born and raised in Brooklyn as part of a rather small, very close-knit group of witches, which they openly called themselves in the presence of their own. They all had witch background and magic, however weak, and they occupied homes near enough to one another that they all knew each other and were all a large, extended family. Alec was young and raised by a village, composed of many people who possessed many talents. Her own gift of magic was discovered fairly early, when she was about ten, and she was trained in controlling it before anything else, and by that time she had an idea of what she wanted to do with her talents and spent her teenaged years learning and continuing her public education.
It was a nice childhood, even if she didn’t exactly have a yard to fun around in or a large, slobbery dog. She had a group of openminded individuals, though, who didn’t bat an eyelash when she said she was interested in learning how to pick locks or read minds or throw knives. It was about that time, when she began asking those questions, that one of the coven members, Aiden Smith, took her under his wing and introduced her to the thieving world, even if he never really allowed her to actually steal. But he knew his way around and thought to entertain her curiosity and teach her what he knew, because a coven needed a large number of skills and her interest was, well, interesting to him. The magical community was nothing new to her, but the new one was, and she was enamored.
She was about seventeen when she became seriously interested and seriously considered it, and when she told him he didn’t dissuade her. She honed the skills she would need as much as he could, gave her a few valuable connections, and not too long after turning eighteen he declared she knew all she would need to know and wished her luck and advice or the like whenever she needed it. She still visits him sometimes. But she took his last words and set off, not knowing what or where she would go but wanting to do something.
It took a while for her to get on her feet and decide on her favored career path. She spent two years as a thief for hire before she finally decided she wanted to deal primarily in information, and she went back to Aiden, hoping he could teach her a thing or two. He taught her a little more than a thing or two, most of them different hacking skills, and she was glad for that break before going back out and beginning to establish herself again.
She’s still in that stage, though she’s come far. What buyers she does have are satisfied with her work and she’s been successful enough to make a profit that’s allowed her to buy an apartment. As much as she would like to, she hasn’t kept in contact with her coven, mostly because of the risks associated with such a thing.


Other Info (Optional):

Other / Other Facts: Alec’s skills in magic are mostly of the mental sort. While she knows a bit of everything, since her coven’s custom is to teach children a little bit of everything and have them decide what they would continue, she’s most learned in mind reading… which isn’t nearly as useful as one would imagine. It takes control and patience to even follow someone’s current thoughts without them knowing, and it’s extremely hard for her to search through someone’s mind. It’s mostly something she uses to make sure no one’s thinking about attacking her in some way, and even then she rarely uses it because it takes a lot of effort and can be extremely distracting.
