Appearance
Alicia Crane is easily recognizable as a metahuman, standing nearly half a foot above most girls her age, and sporting a build that most teens could not even dream of achieving. She always carries a firm and confident stance, and an unshakable expression of blank, calm neutrality on her face. Her hair is yellow and short, with a bit of orange and red near the tips of certain sections. Despite looking relatively unkempt, it manages to fall in such a way that keeps it looking mostly-presentable.
Her pupils are black, and her irises are a glowing white. If one looks closely when she is using her powers, they may notice that her eyes glow brightly when she is drawing more energy from her abilities.
When on-duty, she wears a sleeveless set of tights, blue with a large white stripe going down on the front and back, tapering off onto her left leg in a smooth bolt-like pattern. Should one look closely at the material of the suit, they may realize that it has some layered patterning here and there, which may betray the fact that it is a bit more than just a simple set of tights.
During her rare off-duty time, she can usually be found wearing a simple set of jeans and a hoodie, or a heavier, function-over-fashion jacket in the colder months of the year. Regardless of what she is wearing, however, she will always have, without exception, her limiter equipment on her, which takes the form of two golden bracers and a belt, the three of which glow a bright red in certain places. Depending on how much power she is putting out that has to be limited, the lights may brighten or dim in a manner similar to her eyes.
Personality
Out of all the different terms that could be used to describe Alicia, "Stonefaced", "Unfeeling", and "Robotic" all seem to be the most popular.
Alicia does not seem to react to most things with any sort of emotional response, instead maintaining the same unchanging and stern expression. She seems to be, for all intents and purposes, devoid of any sort of personality in any way whatsoever. She responds to emotional topics with stern practicality, delivers cold and rational philosophy without hesitation, and even manages to hold her neutral demeanor in the middle of a fight.
To those that dig a little deeper, however, a much more different person surfaces. Underneath the cold exterior is someone who is afraid. Afraid of the world, afraid of others, and perhaps surprisingly, afraid of herself. Alicia's powers and her control over them are deeply tied to her emotions, so she bottles them up as best she can in order to maintain complete control at all times. If something unexpected does manage to push past her hard exterior, a brief loss of control may manifest itself as the nearby breaking of delicate material, such as ceramics or glass. She is constantly afraid that she may hurt someone or herself, as she is unaware of the full extent of her abilities, and has already observed that she is exceptionally powerful.
History
Alicia was born to a loving mother and father, in Millennium City's Mercy Hospital. It was unknown what made the two decide to bring a child into the world, considering that they barely had enough money to scrape by on their own. Perhaps it was to make up for their mistakes by raising someone who would be greater than they were. Perhaps it was in a desperate move for happiness and normality. Perhaps it was even a mistake
Whatever the reason, the two soon found themselves the heads of a small family, and named their child Alicia.
