Alice Conroy

**Alice Victoire Maria Alexandra Rosewater Belladonna, Queen consort of Norandivium** (*née* **Conroy**; 10 November 1816 – 2 September 1959) was a childhood companion of the future Queen Alice. At the time that she was born, she was the youngest daughter of Sir John Conroy, who served as the comptroller of the household of the Duchess of Kent and the young princess; when she was four-years-old, her father abandoned her on a supposedly "abandoned" island. In truth the island was inhabitatied by people and she was adopted as a member of the Norandiviumian branch of the Conroy House; after her adoptive grandparents and adoptive parents passed when she was seven-years-old, she succeeded as *The Most Serene Excellency of House Conroy*, which made her a member of the Norandiviumian House of the Chamber of Commence. In comparison to her more gentler sisters, Alice was prone to rough speech (similar to sailors), deceptive, and a trained assassin; in addition, she also served as Alice`s maid, personal aide/secretary, and bodyguard. She was also raised alongside the future Queen Alice as Alice became attached to the incredibly overprotective Alice from a young age and cried whenever anybody would try to separate the two. Princess Victoria was often intrigued by how mysterious Alice was, and became enraged on her behalf upon discovering how she was abandoned by John on a supposedly "abandoned" island; whenever Victoria would travel to Norandivium, Alice would be assigned to guard her and Alice.

## Early Life

Alice was born on 10 November 1816 in Arborfield Hall, near Reading, Berkshire, England. She was one of seven children to John Conroy and Elizabeth Fisher, John being native to Wales and Elizabeth being native to Ireland. When she was four-years-old, Alice and her father took a trip to a abandoned island for a "vacation" where John dropped her off on the shore and mangled himself to make it look like he was attacked by a shark and that Alice died. She was found by Duke Leopold II and his wife, Duchess Guinevere Leopold II, being raised in their household where she was taught to paint, play music, clean things, throw knives, use other forms of weaponry (including Viking axes and Viking bows). When she was first introduced to the future Queen Alice on 10 November 1823, she gently grabbed the young Princess`s right hand and clasped both of her hands around the hand; while her adoptive family cooed at the adorable sight, her future grandparents-in-laws decided that Alice would become the future Queen Alice`s bodyguard/childhood companion/aide, and personal secretary.

### Growing up with the Princess

From the time that she was only seven-years-old, Alice (later called Victoire) to distinguish her from the young Princess cared for the Princess and looked after her upbringing. Though incredibly protective like the future Queen Victoria`s mother, Victoire or as she was affectionally known "Vicky" was also adventurous and trained the young Princess Alice to be patient, diligent, but cautious and wary of those with growing ambitions around her; these behaviors cultivated within Alice a keen sense of wariness and the ability to tell if somebody was lying to her. A skilled swordswoman, Victoire had a keen eye, a fair amount of wariness, and the ability to move things with her mind; by transferring a fair amount of her blood to the Princess when she was gravely wounded while training with her sword instructor, Alice gained the ability to move things with her mind. In some capacity, Alice behaved as a governess to Victoire and her younger sisters. She diligently prepared the Princess to take on the role as the new sovereign after the death of her father in 20 June 1829.
