Alicia

**Alicia** is Leighton's girlfriend.

## History

### Meeting Leighton

Alicia was at the Women's Center discussing Susan B. Anthony's inclusion in the Essex Portrait Gallery. When Leighton Murray arrived and said she was there to volunteer as community service, Alicia and the others all introduced themselves with their pronouns. Alicia explained that she oversees all the volunteers. Leighton tried to choose specific hours for herself, but Alicia said she would tell Leighton when they needed her and she would show up, starting with the poetry group tomorrow. The two of them then bickered about the importance of the Women's Center for the people who came there. Alicia ended this by telling Leighton she'd see her at poetry night.

At the poetry night, Alicia spotted Leighton with her phone out and told her to stop recording people without their consent. When Leighton started laughing at one of the performers and walked out, Alicia followed her out and said she wouldn't sign off on any of Leighton's hours for the night

After the poetry event was over, Leighton helped Alicia clean up and Alicia said she knew the poems and songs were terrible, but instead of being rude, she acted like a normal person and waited until she was lone with her friends to make fun of them. Leighton agreed to try that.

Alicia came into the Women's Center one day to find Leighton sitting in a new chair. Leighton admitted she'd purchased it so she could have a comfortable chair to sit in while she was working there. Alicia offered Leighton some extra hours working on a panel that was the ABCs of the LGBTs. Leighton said she couldn't because she had a date. She told Leighton to take some condoms on her way out, but Leighton insisted that she doesn't hook up on the first date.

Despite that, the next morning, Alicia saw Leighton walking home in the same outfit from the day before.

### Theta-lympics

Alicia, Tova, Ginger, and Leighton were sorting donated clothes when Tova invited Leighton to drag queen trivia. Leighton said she couldn't because she was going to the Theta-lympics. The others were upset over that because they'd spent over a year trying to abolish Greek life from campus, calling frats sexist, toxic nightmares. Leighton defended that Theta did a lot of good and asked if they'd ever been to a frat party. When they admitted they hadn't, she said they were forming a judgment based on assumptions. Alicia agreed and suggested they all go to the party to see what it was really like. Leighton tried to oppose, but agreed to get them invited.

After talking to her brother, Leighton went back to Alicia and tried again to get them not to come, but she said a deal was a deal.

When they arrived at Theta, Nico offered them a tour and highlighted all the safety features, such as having all drinks poured by a licensed bartender. Alicia eventually told him to calm down and asked him to hold her feet so she could do a keg stand. They then teamed up on a drinking game, which they won.

Leighton and Alicia stepped outside and talked. While they were talking, a frat guy peed a few feet away. When Alicia asked him not to do that, he said if she didn't like it she could leave and called her a dyke. Alicia confronted him, shoving him to the ground and kicking him. Leighton pulled her off him and Alicia asked whose side she was on before leaving the party.

Leighton followed Alicia out and apologized. She said she'd never seen any of the guys do anything like that before, which Alicia said was because she's a pretty straight girl they deemed worthy of respect. Leighton said that wasn't true, that Alicia was wrong about her and kissed Alicia. Alicia realized she was wrong about Leighton.

After they hooked up, Leighton got up and started to get dressed to leave, but Alicia said she didn't have to rush away. She suggested they order food and watch something. Leighton pulled her shirt back off and got back in Alicia's bed.

### Parents' Weekend

After having dinner with her parents during parents' weekend, Leighton went to Alicia's place and they cuddled on Alicia's bed and watched a show together. Leighton said she liked Alicia more than anyone else she knew, which Alicia said was sad given they'd only known each other for four weeks. Despite this, Alicia was delighted by the compliment.

### Taking a Step with Leighton

Leighton was at Alicia when she got a text saying that Whitney was going out with Canaan again, which was something Leighton had suggested she do. Alicia was surprised Leighton was so invested in someone else's happiness. During this conversation, Leighton called Alicia her girlfriend and they agreed that that's what they were to each other.

### Leighton Finishing Her Hours

When Leighton finished her 100 community service hours, she celebrated and said she'd be leaving. Alicia asked if she wanted to stay for the rest of the day's meeting, but Leighton said she didn't. While they were hanging out at Alicia's place later, Leighton talked about the difficulty of planning Nico's birthday party. Alicia asked if she was invited and Leighton said it would be making a statement if she brought Alicia as her plus one. Alicia said she wanted to know they could exist outside her bedroom. Leighton decided that things were too weird and left.

### Helping Carla and Bela

Later, Alicia came to the Women's Center on Leighton's request and met with Carla and Bela. She promised them that whatever they told her, she was their ally.

### Weekend Getaway

While Leighton was at Alicia's place, Leighton suggested they get out of town. Alicia offered to plan the whole thing, but said Leighton had to pay because she's poor. As they left on their trip, Leighton pressured Alicia for clues to where they were doing. When she learned they were going to a B&B, Leighton immediately booked a hotel room for them to stay in instead. Once they arrived at the hotel, they immediately jumped into bed together. After they finished having sex, they lay in bed wearing their robes. Alicia took a photo of herself and posted it on Instagram. Leighton saw it and noticed her purse was in the background. She forced Alicia to delete it because she was worried someone would see it and realize they were together. Alicia told Leighton they needed to end things because she felt like being with Leighton was pulling her back into the closet and she couldn't do that again.

Later, Leighton went to Alicia's place and said she missed her. Alicia said she missed Leighton, too, but she also wanted to move on and said Leighton needed to move on as well.

### Reunion with Leighton and Saving the Women's Center

Alicia texted Leighton and asked if they could meet up because she was thinking about Leighton.

Alicia was at the Women's Center with Tova and Ginger, making care packages for struggling trans youth and debating if a cactus was feminist or not when Leighton came in. Alicia said she just wanted to catch up, but solicited Leighton's help assembling the care packages. As they worked, they talked about Leighton's coming out and hooking up with several of their friends. Alicia also shared that the Women's Center was having trouble with funding, so they were holding a fundraiser. She invited Leighton to come and extended the invitation to Tatum when Leighton said she was seeing someone.

At the fundraiser, Alicia was dressed as Elton John. When Leighton came in, she introduced Alicia to Tatum. Alicia suggested they go big on things in the silent auction. When Alicia witnessed Leighton and Tatum fighting and then Tatum walking out, she checked on Leighton, who said she wanted to focus on having a good time. Alicia told her to prepare for some karaoke.

The fundraiser didn't raise enough money to fix their financial situation and things got worse when Essex cut their funding in half. Leighton told her she was sure Alicia would figure it out. After the Kappa Spring Festival, Alicia asked Leighton how it went. Leighton told her she'd quit Kappa and gave Alicia a $30,000 check from her mother. Her mother had planned to donate it to Kappa, but Leighton told her where it could do more good. Alicia said that the money would save them and she kissed Leighton. She pulled back after a second to apologize, but Leighton told her it was okay, that she'd broken up with Tatum the night of the fundraiser, and they kissed again.

## Relationships

### Romantic

Alicia met Leighton when the latter was sentenced to community service working at the campus Women's Center. At a frat party, they butted heads when a member of the frat called her a "dyke" and she shoved him. Leighton followed Alicia out of the party and after an argument, Leighton kissed her. They went back to Alicia's room, where they slept together. Leighton tried to get dressed and leave afterward, but when Alicia invited her back to the bed to watch something, she went. They continued dating and decided to go on a weekend trip away. However, when Alicia posted a picture with Leighton's purse in the background, Leighton forced her to delete it, worried people would recognize her bag and know she was there. Alicia told Leighton she felt like Leighton was pulling her back into the closet, which she couldn't handle and ended things.

After their breakup, Leighton came out to others and slept with many other Essex students. Alicia texted Leighton one day, saying she was thinking about her and asking if they could meet up. They did and Alicia invited Leighton to a fundraiser, where Leighton bid on things in order to raise the money they needed to save the Women's Center. After quitting Kappa, Leighton came to Alicia and gave her a check for the Women's Center. Her mother was going to donate it to Kappa, but Leighton told her where it could do more good. Leighton and Alicia then got back together.

### Friendships

She is friends with Tova and Ginger, who work with her at the Women's Center.
