Feline features: Meowing, night vision, wiggling whiskers, curiosity, and random blepping.

Usual Clothes: Alice's usual attire consists of a yellow T-shirt, white elastic bra, blue denim jacket, red kerchief on her neck and a small sack on her waist. When the weather is warm, she leaves her jacket at home. When it's very cold, she wears ear warmers. When it's raining, she dons a long, bright mantle. Her wardrobe also includes a formal, floor-length, creamy white dress for special occasions.

Personality: Alice is a curious, but introverted and shy individual. She typically sits on the sidelines, listening and not talking too much, as she is afraid that she may say something odd and disrupt the nice atmosphere. She is very open and trusting towards people she loves and would go to great lengths for them. However, if someone steps on her toes, she is able to give them a few sharp, grounding ripostes, but she never swears. She may sometimes exaggerate when complaining, but giving her a cookie usually resolves the issue immediately.

Interests: In her free time, Alice enjoys playing computer and console video games, creating websites, writing odd programs or assembling strange devices (some of which have not exploded yet). She also likes listening to good music (such as symphonic), hiking in the mountains, reading fantasy books, and watching retro movies. Her favourite themes and genres are history, documentary, animal (fauna), adventure, and sci-fi. Drinking tea with lemon helps her to relax and relieve stress.

Skills: Alice is formally a sociologist with a Master's degree in sociology, which she obtained on Terra. She has been a computer hobbyist since she was a whelp and is able to repair virtually any computer from its software's side. She prefers to use her own claws when forced to fight (generally only for defence) and she's quite good at it because of her harsh childhood. However, the most effective way for her to deal with problems is to use diplomacy and pure words, without offending anyone.

Languages Known: Alice is fluent in Rationalized Terran English and 21st century Polish.

History:

Alice can't remember the exact name of the town where she began her life, she only knows that it was big enough to be called a town, not a village, and it was located on her home planet, Terra. It had a very strong connection with Christianity - a Roman Catholic church was present on every few streets and she lived right next to one of them, seeing the belfry from the window of her room which was located in the dark attic of an old apartment building. The loud bell would wake her up early every morning, despite her desperate efforts to seal all visible cracks with pillows, blankets or clothes. Because of that, she is also Catholic, but even though she tries to apply what she learned in her own life, she is far from religious fanaticism. In fact, she even tries not to mention it at all, due to her belief that all people should be treated equally, even in this field, and always takes a neutral stance when it comes to discussing religion.

Her grandmother, an old and always widely smiling tigress, was in fact the only family for her. Her parents were constantly busy with work - her father, an anthropomorphic snow leopard, worked in a construction company as an excavator operator, and her mother, a dragoness, worked at the local market. They would both leave early in the morning and return late at night. Alice is grateful for their hard work, but she was never able to get proper education from them about morph customs or society. She also faced some difficulties in school, as it was mostly human-populated and they usually didn't understand her. She wasn't even able to see another leopard, except for her dad. This made her a bit tomboy-like in behaviour - it was a choice, becoming like this or giving up. Her grandmother always tried to protect her granddaughter from the dangerous world, talking much about the times they were living in - past history of morphs, declared wars, possible obstacles in the future life, and the sky. It was always fascinating for young Alice - all these planets, inhabited or not, beautiful nebulae, moons, and stars. Unfortunately, when she was 15 (according to the Terran calendar) her grandmother became one of those stars. It was the only moment her grandmother's smile was washed away from her muzzle, but even then she held Alice close.

Being alone in the ringing silence all day after school wasn't easy for her, but fortunately, she was, and still is, a bookworm. And books were one of the things in her house that were as common as grass outside. She started reading something beyond what was recommended at school, mainly 21st century literature, and after some time, she discovered that the most interesting things for her were social interactions, history in general, and - to her surprise - engineering devices. And, of course, she fell in love with adventure books. At the age of 17, she began to think about helping with the household budget. She found a mechanic, a human, who allowed her to work in his car station, and because of her theoretical engineering knowledge and boyish personality, she quickly adapted and was a great help. However, she was not working there alone. A couple of other workers were watching her efforts with jealousy in their eyes (hands and tail working at once!) and after a year of employment, she was suddenly fired because the car she was repairing the day before burned in the parking lot, along with its passenger. The evidence was clear: it was Alice who messed up the job. The only thing is... she didn't remember that car at all.

She returned to sitting at home. After this accident, she became an even more closed person than she was before. However, she had earned enough money not only to help her parents but also to buy a decent computer for web surfing. She started experimenting, self-learning things, and reading online resources, extending her knowledge from a bit outdated books. She gained skills related to website development and computer repair, and her own machine became her primary test subject for the latter. Without needing to confront anyone face-to-face, she started working this way after her classes in school. After a few months, regular school was over. She wanted to continue her learning and chose sociology studies on weekends, determined to attend every single class and lecture. But, unfortunately, learning this way, with daily bus journeys, was quite expensive. She started looking around for a full-time job, but every one she found required contact with other people, which she was afraid of. Finally, she found an ad that suited her needs - a security person in a warehouse. At the beginning, it was nice, but after a few weeks, her shifts were starting at 8 am and finishing at 11 pm, so after some time, she just started feeling drained of energy. Oh, and her parents also made a decision - a second kid would be nice!

There were other surprises, like puberty. Her body started to become visibly different from what she was used to working with, and in addition to the overall embarrassment caused by that fact (and that there was no one to help her to go through this), she started to remind her mother in one other aspect: dragon's breath. It was definitely not fire-based, but frost and icy. This breath would come out from her mouth at the least convenient moments, like in the middle of a sentence, when she was yawning or sneezing, which usually caused a lot of unwanted freezing, objects and people included. She felt ashamed, so a cloth was often covering her muzzle as tightly as possible when she was getting out of the workshop, whether it was to school (mean colleagues were not helping), the store, or just for a stroll around the town. In college, however, it got worse. The frost element was constantly escaping her maw or nose with every single exhale of air, and that was obviously not too helpful when it came to focusing on the lessons or making notes. It was also pretty hard to keep a tomboyish image. In time, she was forced to give up on learning and look for some related type of occupation. Her parents were silent.

At the Terran age of 20, Alice began working at an ice cream parlour. It was not pleasant for her to be treated like an object or device to keep things cool in addition to selling treats, but at least she started to gain control over her breath. Between work sessions, which were also profitable in terms of money, she tried to gain more information about herself and her family. She searched libraries, online documents, and many other places to learn more about her unique appearance. Avians, taurs, morphs, ferals, and humans were all common forms she encountered, but she was the only creature with the looks of a (mostly) dragon. Through her research, she developed a nosy, stubborn, and adamant nature, which helped her a lot in her quest for knowledge. She eventually found that the roots of her family came from another world or realm, one that was more fuelled by fantasy and magic, than by technology and the daily grind.

Unfortunately, after a few months of working at the ice cream parlour (interspersed by her hobbies of assembling not-so-common devices and looking at the sky through a telescope), customers started to complain about her. They were not happy about an employee with a forked tongue, wings, and "magical abilities that could kill them." After a few profound internal conversations, the owner politely dismissed Alice, as the business couldn't continue with this issue. Without a job but with a decent reserve of money, she decided to leave Terra in search of a better place for her. Summer break had started anyway, and she had enough resources for a few months to try to find another job in a fresh environment. She had had enough of the constant presence of humans and only two or three morphs in her small town, and with a new child in the family house, she started to feel like a burden still occupying the only possible room. She started to look for a job, probably a bit too far away from her home location, but succeeded in finding a job as a web developer in "some office." She sent the papers via mail and was thrilled when the reply came back, the place was located on another planet, in another star system. Luckily for her, the employer's offer included the travelling costs. She was sure that this employer would be quite surprised about how big they would be.

After the trip, she settled herself in a cheap apartment and was purely delighted about the morphs walking around. Oh, they were everywhere! Real ones, not mangled dragon-with-feline-whiskers hybrids like her. But who cares! So much fluff! After a few months of hard, but well-paid work (she was able to help her parents' budget much better now), she found a few loving and charming friends on the planet's surface who accepted her despite her strange appearance. Nobody had told her before how to dress properly, so she was essentially almost like a scarecrow initially. Her new friends helped her fix her mainly missing social behaviours. She also found that she would be able to continue her learning here, and at the age of Terran 25 she gained a Master's degree in sociology. Now, with a brighter future, she is planning it a bit more optimistically.
