Summary

The Portwoods have always lived in Baltham, where Alice grew up in a three bedroom apartment, attended one of the finest schools with the right to private tutors and classes and was educated in multiple skills, from sewing and cooking to camping and swimming. Her father, Kurt Portwood, worked for a tech company in the city and, quite frankly, she had absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what exactly it was that he did. That never really mattered, though, since she was never required to know where the money she’s always had to spare was coming from. Her mother had never worked ever since the two of them got married a quarter of a century ago, and despite having a lot of free time to spend with her daughter, the two of them never developed a strong bond, since the woman preferred to juggle the kid from one class to another, criticizing the girl on the smallest of issues, instead of nurturing a relationship with her daughter.

When young, Alice was too much of a tomboy for either of her parents’ taste, and they spent a lot of time making sure she became a poised and proper woman. The adventurous spirit the girl possessed was forcefully repressed and the new, more adequate demeanor her parents wanted took place.

Her father wanted her to go to Business School or some other highly profitable career, but after a lot of talk, the man agreed to let Alice study Psychology. Perhaps the fact the girl for the first time in her life didn't just quietly follow the man's order made him reconsider the option, and in the end, agreeing to it. He wasn't an unreasonable man after all. Or, well... Not too much. He might've agreed to pay for the degree of her choice, but now the stakes were higher -- she had no choice but to make him prouder than ever. She had to be the best. And she was.

She was the best student, always with the highest grades, never late and respectful to her superiors and peers. She was the best daughter, well-behaved and mannered, never talking back and doing whatever her parents wanted. She was the best friend, prompt and caring, never dodging a call or a text when someone needed a shoulder to cry on.

She was tired of all of that.

Physical Traits

Alice is pretty and she knows it. Standing at 5’8 and with a lean body, she could easily pass as a model; her light eyes, fair skin and full lips only accentuate the perfect bone structure, bringing everything together like a beautiful painting.

Motives

Her strongest motivation comes from the desire of being the best. Coming from a good and financially comfortable home, Alice had access to a good education without the need to work for anything in life; all that time was spent in her studies and extracurricular activities. Ultimately she wishes to prove to her parents she's the perfect daughter. Maybe then, when she successfully proved she is everything they wanted her to be, they'd let her be what she's always wanted.
