Thank you!! uuhmmm geeze i have 2 many paras lol. OH I know! Alice time >:] (she has changed a bit since her Ghostverse AU days lol)
Alice Rose (she/her) was originally born as Alison Tarrant. Her family moved to America when her & her twin brother (Jervis) were 7. Unfortunately, her parents died bc Prism Pulse is a lawless land where crime happens despite is friendly appearance. Alice gets saved by the city's main hero, Agent Owl (Jervis is kidnapped by Ace, the city's main villain). She is adopted under his public identity, Bryce Williams.
Her new family consists of her, Bryce, Benji Graves (Bryce's adopted son, also the hero Sparrow), Selina Von Katt (Bryce's girlfriend/fiance/wife, also the anti-hero SilverStorm), Juliet Williams (Bryce & Selina's eldest bio daughter, also the anti-hero Jeweled Moon), and Madeline Williams (Bryce & Selina's youngest daughter, also the hero Mockingjay). So yeah, fun family! Alice eventually gets into heroism herself at age 13, going under the alias "Lapin Rouge" (french for "red rabbit" or something like that).
Unfortunately, she wasn't very respected due to being seen as "childish" (her main "theme" for her hero outfit was Alice in Wonderland). This got exponentially worse when people found out she was related to Jervis. Her reputation was basically ruined and she went from hero -> anti hero -> full on villain after teaming up with Jervis (they had a VERY lengthy talk in which Jervis tried to kill her but like...they're Fine Now). ALSO! This is when she starts going by "Alice Rose" since her identity is pretty much public at this point anyway, might as well own it.
But that's not all. Oh, no. You may remember the original Ghostverse AU & are probably wondering "where's Ghost? where is the RoseCrow content??" fret not my friend, I got u covered. While Jervis is having a grand old time trying to befriend & date Jonathan Crowley, Alice is...not doing well. She's having terrible nightmares that make her scared to go to sleep. I'm gonna skip/gloss over some stuff bc I haven't really...daydreamed/gotten that far (I still need to do a LOT of reordering to turn MaaC into an Original Paracosm/Universe).
Anyway, the cause of Alice's nightmares is Ghost, who at first was just experimenting on her but then he caught feelings. It takes Alice a lot longer to trust him in this version, but they eventually reach a place where they can be in a (healthy) romantic relationship. Yay! ik that's like the sparknotes version of it but oh well.
Personality: Alice is a spacey girl, she doesn't seem to be paying attention to anything most of the time. At least, that's how it looks. In reality, she is hyperaware of what's happening, what's being said, who's doing what, etc etc. This often throws people for a loop bc she looks oh so innocent, and how could such a pretty face do any harm? Yeah well that "pretty face" knows exactly how to gut you and make hurt for as long as possible. Which is another good point: she is EXTREMELY violent. Like, her crime scenes are genuinely hard to look at sometimes bc of the amount of gore there is (it is slightly better when Jervis is involved, but tbh they both have anger issues/violent tendencies). She's very into fashion and WILL make you feel bad about your fashion choices if she doesn't like them. In fact, she might actually kill you over them!
I can't think of anything else :/ here's her playlist as a reward!

paracosm // mad as a crow [ghostverse au] || para ship // rosecrow [alice rose & jonathan crowley]
Their first few dates were simple dinner dates hosted by Ghost. They'd eat dinner, watch a movie, and then go to bed.
Eventually, Ghost got comfortable enough to ask Alice if she wanted to do something in the city. Uhm, do what? Good question! He did not think he'd get this far. Perhaps they could just walk around the city and see what interests them (preferably nothing crime-related).
Cue Alice dragging Ghost around the city like a child in a toy store (of which they visited 3. why does build-a-bear cost so damn much?!). They had dinner in a nice fancy restaurant, watched the sunset at a park....then it started raining, as it often did in their city. So the two took cover in an indoor mall.
They ended up running into Daisy and Harley, who were also on a date! Ghost was apprehensive to join them, as the night already wasn't going too well & the last thing he needed was them giving him shit for dating Alice (again). After the four of them walked around for a bit, Alice & Harley wandered off to try on some clothes, leaving Ghost & Daisy together.
“She does seem happy with you,” Daisy said after a while.
“Of course.” Ghost replied. “I treat her well.”
Daisy glared at him. “Taking advantage of a child’s nativity isn’t ‘treating her well’, Ghost.” He sighed.
“This is your problem. You treat her like a child.”
“She is a child! Did you not just hear what I said?!”
“Oh, really?” Ghost looked her in the eye. “Do children kidnap people, hypnotize them, break their brains to the point of insanity? Face it, Daisy. She stopped being a child the day she became one of us. A villain. That’s what she is, and that is what you should treat her as.”
Daisy looked down. Ghost continued. “I won’t pretend to know why you’re so overprotective of Alice. That is information I have no interest in. But let me be clear, Daisy: underestimating her is a mistake all her victims make. Don’t let yourself fall for it, too.”
“You really think she knows what she’s doing?”
He shrugged. “None of us did when we started. Perhaps if things were different, Alice and I wouldn’t even be dating. I’m sure you’d like to live in that reality more.”
“Maybe so.” She mumbled.
Alice & Harley return with some new clothes that they....stole?! Oh...they gotta get out of here! And so concluded Alice & Ghost's first "official" date. Did it go well? Sort of. Are they gonna do it again? With more planning, probably. Will Daisy stop being so overprotective of Alice for seemingly no reason? Tune in next time on: Mad as a Crow: Ghostverse AU!
Agent Owl is the City's Main Hero, he's been in the hero biz for a while & is pretty familiar with all the villains, how they work, etc. He knows what he's doing, basically. His Secret Identity is Bryce Williams, a billionaire who lost his parents at a young age. He's a very popular public figure/celebrity.
Mockingjay is Agent Owl's sidekick. She's sort of new to the whole Hero Show, I actually kinda wanna consider her a foil to Alice. They're not direct parallels, but both are the "New Kid On The Block" in their respective circles, and also seen as babies trying to play with big kids. Anyway. She's a little too quick to get the job done, not yet having the patience for long villain monologues like Owl/Bryce. Her Secret Identity is Madeline Williams, Bryce's daughter.
But WAIT! There's more!! That's right, this Superhero Family comes with DRAMA!!!
Bryce used to be married to Selina Von Katt/Kitty, a former villain (in her later years she was more of an anti-hero/borderline hero, though). They had another daughter, Juliet Williams, who became a villain...I guess out of spite?? Juliet became Jeweled Moon (or Moonstone, either work) & started to rob jewelry stores & also stole anything moon-related, similar to Selina who stole primarily cat-themed items.
Anyway. There was a huge falling out over it, with Bryce saying Juliet couldn't be a villain & Selina disagreeing, saying Juliet needs to figure it out herself/choose her own path (note: she wasn't okay with what her daughter was doing, but having been there herself Selina couldn't help but sympathize). Madeline & Juliet ended up having their own argument over it, which caused Juliet to run away/cut off her family & Madeline join her father in the hero business. As for Selina? Well, I'm not really sure. She separated from Bryce - not divorced, but, uh.....nobody knows where she is. She just...disappeared. It's unknown where she is, or if she's even alive. I think maybe Oswald Caldwell knows, maybe even helped her go into hiding.
wow that's a lot of context for 4 people who barely show up & only kick my paras' asses sometimes. damn.
[EDIT: holy shit oops I forgot Bryce has a brother (Ray) that Alice was forced to date/be engaged to lmao. He got hypnotized & basically caused Alice's villain career. sorta. I'll get to that later ig]
I've mentioned it before, but Alice LOVES fashion. Most of her "minor" crimes are robbing clothing stores, so she has an outfit for seemingly every occasion.
paracosm // mad as a crow [ghostverse au] || paras [alice rose + her outfits]
ROW ONE || VILLAIN ATTIRE
Mad Hatter: Her usual, go-to villain outfit, inspired by the Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. She does her usual kidnappings & mind control.
Queen of Hearts: Oh she's not mad, no, no. She's PISSED. So, what'd you do? Ruin her dress? Try to steal her tech? Insult Ghost?! Let's just say those white roses are going to be turning red very soon.
Alice Liddle: Ugh, God...Caldwell called another villain meeting. Okay, fine! Time to sit for hours on end in a cold nightclub after hours. She's not even of legal drinking age yet, either 😞
ROW TWO || CASUAL & DATE ATTIRE
Alice in Wonderland: My girl is going to get ice cream......or commit a felony. She'll decide in the car.
Pastels: Date outfit for some local fair or an amusement park (how the hell she convinced Ghost to go is a mystery).
Pink + Black: Date / Casual outfit......pink + black is kind of her Thing, I guess.
ROW THREE || INSPIRED BY OTHER VILLAINS
Queen of Fear [Ghost]: Pulls this out when Halloween rolls around, as that's Ghost's Major Villain Day, aka when he pulls out all the big stunts. So she helps him, of course! Also, later down the line, Ghost retires & he lets her use his "gimmick"/copy his M.O.
Gameshow Contestant [Eddie]: Puzzle invited her to be a contestant on his fucked up gameshow.
Rose [Daisy]: Thorn invited her to a party she's hosting.
I'm finally home it's time to talk about RoseCrow/GhostRose aka the relationship between Jonathan Crowley/GhostCrow & Alice Rose/Mad Hatter. @sugarcoatedsadism ik u were interested in this so here <3
(this got SO LONG I'm sorry)
SO. where to begin.....I guess with how they met? It wasn't anything grand tbh. Every once in a while, Ozzy/Birdie hosts a "Villain Party/Meeting", where all (or, most) of the villains in the city gather so they can network & make plans on how to further terrorize the city. There was a lot of buzz this time around, as Alice (who I've mentioned as being the newest/youngest villain) is finally invited after proving she wasn't a one-hit-wonder (basically, it's been roughly a few months to a year since her debut).
Some of the villains - like Daisy Green/Thorn - Alice had already met due to a couple run-ins with them (both pre & post villainy). Still, it was nerve-wracking for her & she didn't really know who to talk to.
Enter Ghost. He didn't go to these meetings often unless specifically requested; being around crowds made him uneasy. The only reason he went was to see what all the fuss was about Alice. He had, of course, seen her work on the news. Mind Control/Brainwashing was....an interesting choice, and while he could see the use for it, Ghost wasn't sure if it would be worth it to try and gain an ally in Alice.
I'm going to speed this up along because it's already 3 paragraphs But the two of them do end up talking! It's nothing major, a short convo of Ghost welcoming Alice & telling her this isn't like those silly little cartoons she seems so fond of. That was that.
Their next meeting proved more.....productive. They were paired up during a meeting to cause a distraction while some other villains did a heist. Well, it went a little awry when the City Hero showed up & Alice ended up having to drag Ghost's bleeding body back to her apartment & nurse him back to health. Not ideal for either of them, but oh well. Because there was really nothing else to do other than read or watch tv, Ghost ended up sparking many conversations with Alice. He ended up enjoying her company by the time he was fully healed. After all, any other villain would've just left him there, a mess of blood and broken bones, waiting for the City Hero to take him to ArkBat. He chalked it up to her being naive. She'll learn soon enough that if she wanted to live as a villain, she needed to put herself first.
It was like that for a bit. The two would hang out occasionally, then often, then all the time. Ghost became Alice's "mentor", if you will. He basically showed her the ropes of the whole villainy thing. It became apparent that he was protective of her, but then again, so were most of the villains (especially Daisy/Thorn). Why wouldn't they be? Alice had, for many, integrated into their little Villain Family as a baby sister.
But that was sort of the problem. Everyone saw her as a "baby". A toddler trying to play with the Big Kids. It bugged the hell out of Alice, and she'd often confided in Ghost with this. Ghost was the only one who treated Alice as, well, Alice I suppose. I won't get into her whole backstory, but people treating her as a baby/doll/pet-figure is pretty common & a major reason she became a villain. So for Ghost to treat her like an actual adult....well, her feelings for him grew.
At first, she thought it was a stupid crush. Like, obviously. It started when she was first taking care of Ghost. Some weird Savior Complex had taken hold of her, surely. But no. It got worse, to the point where she had to recognize that, yes, she did have a crush on Ghost. Okay, fine, no big deal. It's normal to have crushes on people older than you, isn't it? Besides, all her new friends were older than her, it was bound to happen eventually. At least it was with Ghost, and not someone who'd take advantage of that little tidbit if they ever found out they were the object of her affections.
Meanwhile, Ghost was having a little trouble. He liked Alice - though, that was the problem, wasn't it? He liked her too much. He thought about her a little too often, looked at her a little too long for him to rationalize it in his mind. Fun Fact: Ghost is very bad at....feelings. Human things in general, tbh. He honestly thought that perhaps Alice had hypnotized him somehow, though quickly realized this wasn't the case after seeing her process for brainwashing victims. She wasn't capable of doing it without him noticing. Not yet, at least. (Besides, Alice had already made it clear when they started sharing a hideout that she didn't want to hurt any of her new "friends".) Still, he needs someone to talk to. Not any of the villains. A small part of him was, foolishly, afraid of what they might think. He didn't even know what to think. So, he turned to the only person he could: Lannie.
I can't explain Lannie here....there's too much to go through, but the tl;dr is that Lannie is Ghost from another dimension, talking to your alternate selves is a common thing all villains can do (minus Alice until recently). Anyway, he talks to Lannie, a Harley Alternate, & Jervis (Alice's Alternate). They help him work through his Feelings & give him the courage to confess to Alice.
I haven't really thought about how Ghost would go about confessing to Alice. Or....maybe it would make more sense for Alice to confess since she thinks he's not interested, she might just want to hear it so she can get over the crush. Either way, the two have a deep talk about their feelings & decide to be a couple. It gets mixed reviews, with a lot of people glaring at Ghost, but it was Alice's choice to date him so they're all just gonna have to die mad about it.
idk what else to say so I'm gonna end it here. hope that satisfies your curiosity, if not then I'm sure this post is proof that I can & will go write an essay on my paras unprompted.

MARY CROWLEY, aka Alice Rose & GhostCrow's daughter. She lives on a farm Ghost owns & goes to school like any other kid. Right now she's only 3, a little toddler that's oddly quiet & prefers her stuffed animals over the company of other children. Both her parents were apparently the same way, however, so neither of them push her too much to interact with other kids. When she does get older, however, many kids tease / bully her for being a "witch" due to her appearance & general disposition.
