### Personality

Babs was the friendliest, most reserved member of the trio of witches. Despite studying witchcraft and supervillainy like the other two, she had a smiling, approachable demeanour and threw herself into her study of magic with a childlike enthusiasm. (COMIC: *Blast From The Past*)

### Powers & abilities

Though only a student, Alicia seemed to be a talented witch. She demonstrated enough skill at pendulum-assisted divination to predict the stock market. (COMIC: *Blast From The Past*)

## Biography

### Roommates with Alicia and Jesse

   While Babs was studying “witchcraft with a minor in supervillainy” at NYU with Jesse and Alicia, the three went through an internship at Mr Grangler's stock-broking company for unclear reasons. They were assigned to then-Junior Deputy Assistant Secretary Kelly to handle. Their magical abilities turned out to be extremely useful for predicting the stock market and digging up dirt on colleagues and competitors, ultimately allowing Kelly to get her boss arrested and replace him as head of the company. In thanks, she gave the three girls A+s on their internship. (COMIC: *Blast From The Past*)

### Living with Alicia

After Jesse had to drop out of college altogether for the semester due to her involvement in one of her father's evil schemes, she phoned Alicia and Babs to update them on her situation, and was in turn updated on the current gossips in their social circles. (COMIC: *Meanwhile, On Earth*)

   Some time later, Alicia and Babs received a visit in their dorm room from Kelly, who had, in the meantime, lost her company, gained superpowers, and then lost said superpowers as a side-effect of having murdered her superhero partner Jenkins. She asked them if they knew a ritual which could send her to Hell so that she could bring Jenkins's soul back and resurrect him. They agreed, greatly enjoying the task of functionally murdering Kelly, albeit in the knowledge that she would (probably) return. After Kelly returned with Jenkins and recovered her powers, she flew out of their apartment, crashing out through the wall. The two witch-girls took this in stride, going off to play some video games together rather than do anything about it or stay to watch Kelly's ensuing superheroic fight against the Cosmic Solution.

### Sleepover at Jesse's

    Some time later, Alicia and Babs arranged to have a sleepover at Jesse's. Her father Doctor Brain forgot that this had been scheduled, however, andwas caught off-guard when Jesse arrived at the apartment with the other two — but Alicia suggested that the Doctor could stay and hang out with them, and he reluctantly agreed, ending up having a pretty good time, notably cooking up a “devilish” salsa in his laboratory for use at dinner. After all four watched a zombie movie together, the girls separated from the Doctor and played a board game in Jesse's bedroom until fairly late in the night, when they went to bed, all sharing Jesse's. This made Jesse and Babs notice when Alicia slipped out partway through the night; they assumed she'd simply gone to the bathroom, but in actual fact, having developed an inappropriate crush on Doctor Brain, she was in his bedroom, attempting (unsuccessfully) to seduce him. (COMIC: *The Sleepover*) The following morning as they all had breakfast, the Doctor and Alicia tried to “play it cool”, only for Jesse to bluntly ask Alicia why she'd been gone from the bedroom for a while the previous night.
