―Alice Caldwell

**Alice Caldwell** is Hero's girlfriend, and attends the same college.

## Background

Alice was born to a teenaged couple 19 years before the start of the game. Her father and her grandparents abandoned her mother upon finding out about her pregnancy, leaving her to raise Alice on her own.

Her mother dropped out of school and took on various jobs to give Alice a comfortable life. They were usually tight on money, especially when her mother's poor health kept her from working, but even so they were happy. Alice recalls doing everything with her mother, even as she got older.

When Alice turned 14, her mother became deathly ill. She fought to stay at Alice's side until finally succumbing to her sickness and passing away a year later. This left Alice without any family to support her, leading to her being put into foster care.

She eventually fell into the care of an elderly woman who fostered many other children. She treated Alice as her own and spoiled her with care and gifts. She made sure Alice had a comfortable life, although Alice still helped around the house and in raising the other children.

Upon graduating high school, she immediately applied to college. During her first year, she was acquainted with Hero and they became fast friends. She took him to meet her foster family, and he in turn introduced her to his family. In their second year, they began officially dating.

## Appearance

Alice has dark green eyes and short platinum blonde hair extending down her neck. Her fringe is double-parted and two short strands frame her face.

She wears a loose dark red shirt tucked into a high-waisted, dark gray pencil skirt, black tights, and black backless heels. She wears gold hoop earrings, a dark brown wristwatch on her left wrist, and a red ribbon choker tied into a bow on the left.

## Personality

Alice is kind, thoughtful, and generally optimistic. She is rather outgoing and upbeat as she loves to interact with and talk to people. She can read the room to know how to act in any given situation, but she will always be the first person to look on the bright side of things. She cares greatly for others, even complete strangers, and hates to see anyone in pain. She will do her utmost to console and cheer up someone who is struggling.

She has a strong work ethic which she learned from her mother at a young age. She puts 100% into everything she does, believing that to be the only way to approach anything in life. She can be hard-headed and stubborn at times, unwilling to budge until the other person is forced to relent or a consensus is made. On the other hand, she dislikes arguments and generally tries her best to avoid them however she can.
