→ Aesthetic: Alice is mint ice cream on the hottest day of the year. Paint stains on fingers and murals painted on backs. A messy ponytail and dirt under manicured nails. She is pressed flowers in classic literature. Sweets hoarded in a book bag and stealthily eaten during class. An oversized jumper and cuddling by the fire. Late nights studying behind stacks of books and an array of mugs with one sip of tea left cold at the bottom. She is getting lost in the woods. Laughter that sounds like a favorite song and smiles that would melt glaciers. Wishes made on paper cranes. Endless encouragement for friends and harsh critique for enemies. Perpetual hope that the world will get better. She is candid photos. Old records that bring nostalgia. Dancing and singing while making a midnight snack.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY:

→ Alice is the only daughter of Earl and Grace Fortescue. Earl was a Hufflepuff, and Grace was a Gryffindor. They bonded over their shared love of herbology, something passed onto their daughter, and their desire to stay out of politics. They have always been happier keeping to themselves and focusing on their work. While they love their daughter dearly, this meant she was often left to her own devices. She roamed their gardens freely and did as she pleased. Impulse control was never something she needed to develop, but she was instilled with a strong work ethic. She was expected to help around the house and assist with their work when she grew older. Summers were spent helping out at her uncle’s ice cream parlour. This continued during her time at Hogwarts. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, but at her own choice over Gryffindor. She believed it would help nurture her better qualities. In the end she was correct. Her compassion, loyalty, and work ethic were enhanced to balance out her impulsive, stubborn temperament. She has to work extra hard to maintain good marks, and is often found with a stack of books and parchment. While she loves reading and learning, it doesn’t come easy to her. Still, she always finds the time to socialize. Her friendly nature makes it easy to acquire friends and she never likes being alone. She fiercely protects those she considers friends, often putting them before herself. Her decisions are usually based on emotion before she looks at them logically. It was at the encouraging of her parents that she elected to attend Elkridge. She knows it comes from a place of wanting to keep her safely tucked away from the troubles of the world. As much as she is ready to throw herself into the world, she reasoned that a few more years of peace of mind for them is the least she can offer. She considered pursuing an auror career as she wants to help others, but her true passion lies in painting. That doesn’t mean she can’t provide support in a less official capacity to the causes and people she loves. She is a dedicated student and determined to make the most of her university time.

RANDOM HEADCANONS:

Alice is almost always covered paint. She is capable of a very realistic style, but much prefers abstract and surrealism.

She has a terrible sweet tooth. The gingerbread house would be the perfect trap for her.

The love of sweets extends to ice cream, but she is lactose-intolerant. It is a daily struggle.

She feels more comfortable outside than inside. Nature is her comfort zone.

Her want to believe the best in everyone is currently being tested. She still wants to give people the benefit of the doubt and second chances, but is much more cautious. She has learned that her instinct to trust can be deadly.
