## History

### Background

Losing her parents at the May 28th terrorist attack from the PRU at 1995, she lived by herself through adoption homes on her entire childhood. She never got the chance to graduate, but was noted for her near-genius level intellect in the field of mathematics and physics. Diagnosed with Dwarfism at a very young age, according to a medical record.

### Centurion Pandemic

The Zombie pandemic on the planet Centurion Prime has taken a toll on their own military and government. Due to this, the Galactic Republic authorized the Black Velvet to conduct an infiltration on the planet, find out the truth behind the global apocalypse, and possibly find a cure. Several Black Velvet members are sent through the planet through a dropship; Notable members sent are Amalas, Seyrhona, Rachelle, Catherine Nexima, Megan Springs and Amanda Rose. Sasha Galloway voluntarily joined the agents, aka assassins in the operation due to boredom.

Alice Backlund actually infiltrated long before the 12 women team dropped in the zone. That is how they all managed to theorize that the virus was humanoid-made and not caused by any natural phenomenon.

## Abilities

* **Peak Physical Condition**: Alice is in peak physical condition even before joining the Black Velvet. She had also a decent experience in military courses and weightlifting.

* **Master Spy**: She was a dangerous secret agent highly skilled in espionage, stealth, disguise, infiltration, and demolitions.

* **Expert Manipulator**: She can manipulate men and women in getting what she needs, then later seducing them to get an advantage.

* **Master Combatant**: Alice is an exceptionally skilled martial artist, relying on her feline agility to deliver the most efficient and organized strikes to her opponents; Hence, at the Black Velvet training, she was able to beat similarly sized opponents. She is also skilled in using batons, knives, daggers and firearms. It is clear that she can beat Sasha Galloway with little effort in hand-to-hand combat.

* **Superhuman Speed**: She can run up to 50 miles per hour, which is unusual for an ordinary Nevian; But it is gained through her undersized stature and low body mass.

* **Expert Marksman**: She is an expert marksman through a variety of firearms such as pistols and submachine guns. She also had a decent amount of skill on carbines, although she admits to being mediocre on long range rifles, but sometimes, utilizing a MK16 SPR as a primary long range firearm of her's.

### Weaknesses

* **Stomach blows**: Alice has 𝐍𝐎 resilience to stomach blows, due to her diminutive size; Sometimes even a petite woman like Alexa Violet can wind her with well-placed elbows, as well as her relatively small size also doesn't not help her resistance, meaning she can take a lot of stomach blows, but *not* fully resist them despite her toned abs. In fact, she received a minor injury after missing a *Twisted Violet* to her opponent in Black Velvet's training, and was easily incapacitated by a terrorist hitting her with a rifle to the gut at full force. This means, she will forcefully grunt or scream whenever her stomach gets hit by an opponent or a melee weapon.
