Alice Green

Time to Clean up!

## Personality

At face value, Alice is a kind and gentle girl who greets everyone she meets with a smile. Her positivity might blind you if you’re not careful! Alice is very dedicated to anything she does. Her determination and stubbornness to not give up is what allowed her to push through in order to become who she is today. She’s always doing something, whether it be cleaning, cooking or planning something. Every second of her life is work, work, work. Although she says that it’s fun and rewarding to her, there’s another reason why she’s always working. It keeps her distracted, helping her forget about the sadness that tries to choke her anytime she isn’t distracted and has time to think to herself.

## Before PCC

18 years ago, a mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. The mother and father had discussed what name they wanted to give their child long before this day, so they had already come to an agreement on what to name her.

“Alice.”

From that point forward, the family did nothing but give their support to Alice as she grew up. They were there for her whenever she first learned how to walk, when she said her first word and even when she first learned how to ride a bike. It’s sad to say, but not every child has that luxury. Alice was very lucky to have two loving parents who stuck with her through everything, even through the tough times, which there were plenty of. Alice was never able to make friends for long due to the jobs both of her parents had. Because of these jobs, the family kept having to move from region to region, preventing her from making lasting connections with friends. Alice had quickly realized the hopelessness of her situation. It came to the point where she was too sad to do just about anything at her young age, which hurt her parents. They didn’t want to see their baby girl like this. In an effort to help in some way, they tried to get her to do anything that would keep her mind off of the situation. After a bit of figuring out what to do, Alice asks if she can help with chores, which her parents never made her do before. Confused as to why a child would want to do chores but not wanting to see their child upset, they agreed to let her help. She slowly learned how to perform each task, always asking questions to make sure that she’s doing it correctly. Of course, her parents would do the best they can to explain the chores.

Within a week, Alice learned all of the chores and outperformed both of her parents.

Alice’s parents were uncertain how she was able to accomplish this. Was she naturally gifted? Did she do nothing but practice during her free time? Then to add more to it, Alice asks, “Is there anything else I can help with?” She had done all of the chores and was still asking if there was anything else? Her parents actually had to make up things for her to do just to keep her occupied. Cooking, cleaning, even taking care of electrical appliances and the car! Whatever needed to be done, Alice learned and took care of it over time. To Alice, it felt like she found something worth doing with her life. It kept her mind off of everything and it was helping her family out, making her feel satisfied and accomplished. A spark lit up from within, one that would grow into a passionate flame over the years.

As the years went by, Alice learned everything her family taught her and improved upon it, knowing how to do each task as quickly and efficiently as she possibly could. Naturally, her Mom and Dad couldn’t keep making things up for her to do, so when they told her that there was nothing else to clean, Alice proceeded to go to the neighbor of the area they were currently staying in and asked if they could clean, free of charge. The neighbor was hesitant at first, but they let Alice clean the place. When she was done, the place was cleaner than it ever was before. The neighbor was astonished! Word of Alice went around the area and she had plenty of places to clean to keep her mind off of things. Despite her saying that she would do it for free, some nice folks insisted that they pay her. She made money… just from doing something she enjoys? An idea pops into her head. She could make a living off of this!

She could become a maid!

Alice asks her parents about this idea. Happy to see Alice so passionate about something, they give her their full support. After graduating from high school at the age of 18, Alice sends in an application to a hotel in Kanto, the region that the family is currently staying in. This hotel in particular is one in one of the biggest cities in Kanto, Celadon City. And to her surprise, she’s accepted! It all happened in a blink of an eye. Her getting accepted, her putting her skills to the test and impressing not only the other employees, but management. She was making money for simply doing the thing she loved and this in itself made her happier than she could ever be. She worked, worked and worked to the best of her ability! She found her purpose in life!

“Y-You’re laying me off...?” is Alice’s hushed and horrified response upon hearing that the Celadon Hotel is laying off maids due to costs. It made no sense. She worked the hardest out of all of the maids there. She was able to clean the most in the shortest amount of time! She outperformed everyone! So why? Why was she being laid off? It made no sense… if it was due to costs, wouldn’t keeping her while letting a bunch of other maids go be more cost effective? But it didn’t matter- she was let go. Heartbroken, she stood outside of the building while still wearing her maid uniform. She didn’t know what to do. This is everything she wanted and it was taken away from her. Alice laid out her options. She can always apply for a maid position in another place, not to mention she has references now. It should be easy… but what if she gets laid off again for a reason that doesn’t make sense? What then? The cycle repeats. No, she doesn’t want that to happen. She wants to stop the cycle and get a job that is guaranteed to stay. But what could provide that? She sighs and looks over towards a TV store, which currently had a broadcast of the Pokémon League playing. Her eyes rested upon the TV for a few moments, which then turned into a full couple of minutes of silence before something finally clicked.

A job that’s guaranteed to stay… That’s it. She has to think bigger. She can’t work at some hotel, she needs to go higher! If she really wants to keep a job as a maid, then she’ll have to work for the most prestigious place in the region… The Pokémon League. It’ll take more than a reference at a hotel to get in though, won’t it? She assumes that it’ll be a lot of hard work and that if she really wants to be noticed, she’ll need to work her way up to the top and get noticed by higher ups, most importantly the Champion. The only sure-fire way to do that is to become a Pokemon Trainer. She knows nothing about being a Trainer, but she’ll learn along the way. She has to if she wants to accomplish her goal- no, her dream of becoming…

The Champion’s Maid.

## Pokemon Party

Alice treats her team with the love and respect they deserve. To her, they are equals (but cuter) who she makes sure understands that they aren't simply pets or servants to her. Alice's team is her family and she loves them very, very much. She always makes sure their voices are heard, even if it takes a game of charades to figure out what they're trying to tell her.

Alice names her team members after sweets.
