Ava Steele

== Biography ==
Ava "Alice" Steele was adopted by Maya Steele as a favor for her biological mother in 2178. Though this adoption was public (as are many of the Steele family affairs), Maya Steele made a point in keeping Ava's heritage a secret. Since 2178, several members of the media have tried to pry into the woman's parentage, but anything published has been nothing more than unconfirmed theory.
What is confirmed, however, is that Alice spent most of her childhood knowing that she would one day become the head of Lexington-Steele. She was a celebrity since birth, but Maya didn't try to shield her from that fame. Alice spent most of her life in the public eye, and as a result, became less of a spectacle with each passing day. Her friends were only reminded of her affluence during birthdays in highrises, and she only felt the strain of her fame during the brief instances where Lexington-Steele made headlines.
Though Alice never met either of her parents, she knew that her name was her mother's choice, and she occasionally learned tidbits about them both through Maya; Alice was occasionally persuaded into doing things "her parents would have wanted," and they were always things that she would have otherwise ignored, like learning how to fly or how to defend herself.
When Alice turned 18, she became head of Lexington-Steele. In order to rid the company of stigma, she rebranded it to Steele Innovations, and the company has seemingly turned over a new leaf since then. Several of David's more questionable ventures were shut down in the years following, and Alice has since been considerably more philanthropic than the trust which she had inherited the rights from.
