alli has always chased the spotlight, and in return, the spotlight has always followed her. even when she was a young child, she was always doing something to keep the attention on her, entertaining anyone in her vicinity. it’s something she’s never stopped doing and one of the biggest reason everyone keeps up with her despite her parents’ celebrity association.
alli started her own youtube channel at age seventeen and still posts on there from time to time even though she’s gained more than 4.7M followers and reached her goal in views a long time ago. her videos range from morning routines to house tours to relationship advice to the newest trends, and she’s even collabed with other youtubers.
she always dresses like she’s on the front of the magazine, in fear of getting caught with less than glamorous candid shots when she’s out in public. she has her own personal makeup artist, despite being a pretty good one herself. her mother picks out all of her outfits and accessories.
(REVENGE PORN TW) when she was in her junior year of high school, she fell for a modeling scam that was set up by two teenage boys. nude pictures of her were leaked, but her father handled it as quickly as he could. while alli believes that all of the pictures have been deleted, there may be people who still know about the scandal and still have copies.
alli’s initial reason for leaving was because she had a pregnancy scare and needed time to think of her possible options, when she went to tell drew she was leaving ( being that if it were anyone in the world she wanted to tell of her departure outside of her immediate family, it’d be him ) it led to the drunken hookup that complicated things even more, leading her to make her official decision then next morning before anyone could notice.
the first place alli visited when she returned was lavender honey cafe, her choice of beverage being an iced mocha. she tipped fifteen dollars to the barista, and hasn’t been spotted since.
sav bhandari ( brother. ): alli and sav were your typical siblings growing up, bickering on most days and there for each other when they were needed most. as they grew, they found themselves drifting even more due to alli’s preference for high society life and sav’s want for a more relaxed lifestyle. however, with sav the only one knowing the real reason behind alli’s departure, they’ve found their bond tighten.
clare edwards & jenna middleton ( best friends. ): connecting in college, this trio is one the upper east side knows well. loyalties are far and wide in this city, and while these three are commonly put to the test, they seemed to have a truly unbreakable friendship. perhaps, this is why clare & jenna were so upset by alli’s sudden disappearance and radio silence.
drew torres ( affair. ): growing up together on the upper east side, neither drew or alli remember a time they weren’t in each other’s lives. while they have always sworn to be just friends, others see a spark. and others wouldn’t be wrong, considering alli and drew’s drunken hookup the night before alli left town. however, this night has been a tightly kept secret from all, especially dallas and jenna.
mike dallas ( ghosted. ): meeting through drew, dallas and alli started off as solely friends. while alli originally viewed dallas as too much like all the people from alli’s other failed relationships, they would both open up a much deeper side of each other. their relationship seemed real and even maybe made to last– that is until alli left town without a word, leaving dallas without any closure.
