## Personality

Alice is bold but caring. She is a natural leader, and attracts friends easily. She was very popular with the other young Octolings in the army for this reason. However, she can struggle with expressing sadness, and tends to lash out easily.

## History

### Early Childhood

Alice was born to Octarian music superstar Nautica Nautico (nee Moreno) and father Ruben Nautico, heir to the Nautico fortune. She is a twin, her twin sister being named Aria Nautico. When she was about a year old, Alice and her sister went with their father, who comes from a lineage of important trading families, on a trip to arrange trade agreements with nearby Salmonid settlements. During the trip, her sister was lost, and was not found. Alice was raised as an only child by her parents, who tried to shield her from the media constantly swarming their family.

### Splatoon 1 (2015 ME)

Alice entered the Octarian army at age 14. She was instantly popular with the other Octoling girls, becoming the ringleader of a large friendgroup. While in the army, she met Maxine, the two becoming best friends.

Alice was present at Agent 3's showdown with DJ Octavio, in which the Squid Sisters hacked Octavio's radio and played the Calamari Inkantation. However, despite longing for something greater, she decided not to escape to the surface with Maxine.

### Splatoon 2 (2017 ME)

As of 2017 of the Mollusk Era, Alice was still in the army. She had spent the timespan in between the events of Splatoon and Splatoon 2 improving her battle knowledge. Alice had qualified for Elite status by that time. Because of both her weaponry skills and family status, she was promoted to the Wasabi Supply Unit, meeting Callie and Octavio in person numerous times, despite the fact that her mind had already been freed.

That year, Alice met Max, still going by his birth name and presenting as female. She also met a young Luno, years before his unfortunate sanitization. The 3 grew close, forming a friendship and mentoring Max, who struggled with weaponry.

Alice was invited to DJ Octavio and Callie's showdown against Agent 4, it being marketed as a concert. She took Max and Luno with her. When the Spicy Calamari Inkantation, a newer rendition of a song she had heard once before, started to play, she knew that she needed to leave Octarian territory. However, she still felt an unwanted loyalty towards her family and responsibilities, and once again, made the final decision to stay. She helped Luno and Max escape to the surface that very night.

### Octopolis

With Octavio's tyrranical rule seemingly gone for good, and the Squid Sister's music being heard by seemingly everyone living in the domes, the Octarians living underground decided to rebuild the center dome- dubbed 'Octopolis' after the Inkling city of a similar name- the way the citizens wanted it. Around this time, she decided to follow in the footsteps of her mother, a retired pop star, she decided to dip her toes into the Octarian music industry. She released singles of many different genres- pop, rap, jazz, and even a heavy metal single, but none of them felt right.

### Splatoon 3 (2022 ME)

After the events of Project Octopolis, Alice formed the band Fishbone with Luno and Vivienne. They continue to make music which is regularly played in ink battles. She also met her long-lost twin sister, Ushisha, during this time.
