Appearance: Beautiful, poised and collected. Alison is an example of a woman who has her way in life. Her parents are wealthy so she can typically afford the best clothes, she routinely does her hair fashionably and she always looks prepared. There's a certain air of coolness to her as she walks down the hallways. Something that tells the boys and girls at the highschool she goes to that she's on a completely different level to them.
What your character knows: Alison is the head of the drama club at her school. The president of the student council and also the most well-composed student there. She has an air of mystique, power and leadership about her that sends people into automatically siding with her. Once more, she's also a caring, kind and good natured woman who routinely gives her lunch to kids with poor parents so they don't go hungry.
To seal the deal she's supposedly a magical girl as well. Several students have reportedly seen Alison fighting monsters and demons on campus in a strange, frilly outfit. This has simply made the air of mystery to her even more intriguing.
The Truth: Alison does have powers. But they're not what you think. Alison is a shapeshifter, a person who can take many different forms. The problem is that the forms she takes can ONLY be acquired once she is wearing a costume of said form and is proceeding to act as said form. Alison being a natural born actress doesn't find much problem in that, but it's a bit difficult to get into a suitably natural role for her at times.
Background: Born to wealthy parents, a high social status and a natural charisma. Alison was always a natural born leader and she loved to flaunt it. Always one to chastise men or other women who thought too highly of themselves, or pick up those who lacked what she had. Alison was always an upstanding student and a particularly good friend. Her ultimate dream was to someday be an actress and perform in front of millions of prying eyes.
When her highschool decided to do Sleeping Beauty, Alison naturally set out for the role as the Prince. However due to the fact this isn't Japan, the prince was given to a male role and she got the role of the princess. On her way home from a dress rehearsal. Alison was stopped by a traveling gypsy. The old woman told Alison that she could increase her acting ability ten fold with the proper incantation. Alison refused and proceeded on her way, but the gypsy being in natural gypsy behavior. Put a curse on Alison. That whatever she would put on her costume and proceed to wear her false faces, that it would transform into her real face.
When Alison returned to school for the night of the play. She found herself getting into the character of Sleeping Beauty quite naturally... almost UN-naturally so! She wound up losing herself in the role, in the costume and the character of her. Alison was completely replaced by a shy, passive and ultimately helpless individual once she put on the flowing pink gown and tiara. Now this wouldn't have been so bad... had she not been instantly kidnapped by an evil wizard directly afterward.
Nobody was sure what happened but three days later Alison returned home wearing a suit of armor, covered in dirt and blood and saying she didn't want to talk about it. Since then Alison seems to be more concerned on what costume she should be wearing and which ones she shouldn't. Whenever Alison transforms, her personality alters to confine to her new "role".
Thus far Alison has only dressed up as a magical girl to fight the occasional demon that appears on campus. Thankfully she seems to keep most of herself in there, but there is the occasional time when doing so makes her more bubbly or cheerful than she typically is.
Reason for Joining TIME: She actually joined because somebody she knows is joining and she's interested in following him. Who he is and why? I'll get into that later.
Alison Angel Wings (AKA: Current Alison)
After being kidnapped by the Sol Senshin academy. Alison was forced into a ridiculous pink costume with a wing motif. Convinced that her former friends were actually demons. Alison proceeded to fight them all with her newly acquired magical powers. Things seemed alright when her clothes changed back to normal, but soon the costume re-asserted itself and it was uncovered that the costume was bound to Alison permanently, the contract she made with it only breaking if she killed an innocent in cold blood. After some rough diplomacy and poorly thought out stunts, Tyroth wound up sacrificing himself to be rid of the costume. His death was in vein, as the only way Alison could revive him was to once again bind herself with the costume and use an incantation that would trade one life for another. Alison's goal was to sacrifice herself to bring Tyroth back. But at the last moment Doug wound up taking the charm and was killed so that Tyroth would be revived.
Now Alison, wearing a costume that won't come off till she dies (which won't be soon as the costume grants eternal youth) is stuck as a magical girl forever and is training to become the best she possibly can.
