## Appearance

Alisa has short, black hair that goes down to just about her shoulders, with brown eyes. She is 5'8 and rather slim, but not underweight. (FC: Christina Ricci in her younger years with darker hair.)

## Personality

Alisa is very curious, but awkward at the same time. She's always trying to research and explore new things and places, and could probably tell you a myriad of random facts on something she's interested in, but would struggle to fit in with others, finding it hard to take jokes and and socialise with others, preferring a close nit group of friends. She's a rule-bender, finding ways to do what she wants whilst still technically following the rules to get out of situations.

She prefers quiet situations, and gets easily embarrassed when in areas with lots of people, finding herself getting easily flustered when she messes up. She has, however, been making more of an effort to come out of her shell, as it were.

## Background

The daughter of Victoria Faye, a witch from Ireland, and Albert Stirling, a muggle from Scotland, Alisa grew up without a father, who was very superstitious and violent, leaving after a fight with her mother when she was only one. While her mother combined their surnames, she harbours a huge resentment towards her father, and refuses to be referred to as 'Stirling'.

Growing up in rural Scotland, Alisa had few friends, but a passion for exploring. She always begged her mother to take her round to the old castles that dot Scotland, and her mother, while reluctant, relented. It was at one of these castles she showed her first signs of magic, where, upon complaining the room was rather dark, happened to set fire to a old torch on the wall.

When she got her Hogwarts letter, she was thrilled, and eagerly took to learning all she could. She was sorted into Slytherin after a debate with the hat over which house was best. Since joining the school, Alisa has kept to herself, and when outside of classes, can often be found exploring or being somewhere quiet, sketching in her notebook.

In her third year's summer, she discovered her Grandmother hadn't cut it off, and she seemed to be trying to contact her mother, who kept burning her letters. In her fourth year, she began a relationship with Lucy Durand and Merwyn Déonté, being the happiest she'd been in years, but the thought of her grandmother not being the horrible woman her mother claimed she was continued to perplex her, and she planned to bring it up once she got home. This however, didn't go to plan - they argued over Alisa's sexuality instead, and Alisa left home.

Alisa became Prefect in her fifth year, and acted as an often ineffective counter-balance to Merwyn, prefect in the year above. Moving in with her gran at the end of this year, her sixth year was filled with adentures, Marion dragging her off on adventures around the world whenever she could. In the summer before her seventh and final year, Merwyn proposed to a surprised Alisa and Lucy, who both promptly said yes. After graduating, seeking a greater purpose in life, she left her home, without telling anyone where, her location being currently unknown.
