BIO

Alice Cheng grew up being opinionated and that was due to having a head strong mother. Her parents raised Alice with love, since being the only girl and youngest out of three children, she became spoiled because of it. It wasn't a hard life growing up, with two parents successful with their careers, they managed to keep food on the table and provide the Cheng children with what they wanted or needed. Alice being the only girl became bossy and headstrong, taking after her mother. But she was always a daddy's girl and always enjoyed being close to her family. Alice was born and raised in Aurora Bay, not that she minded, she loved the town and always called it home, even when she took off for college where she decided she wanted to become a lawyer.

In college, Alice was determined to graduate, no matter the sleepless nights and cramming sessions, she still managed to get pass the bar exam where she got into the best law firm in New York. At the age of twenty-seven, Alice managed to get her name well known from the hard work she accomplished. She thought that she was on top of the world until everything came crashing down around her when she was told her father had cancer. Alice packed her bags and moved back home to take care of her father but also being there to collect some memories.

Alice has been back in Aurora Bay for four years, where she decided to work at the local lawyer firm as a divorce attorney. She still manages to be the spoiled girl with lots of money to spend on, but beneath all the glitz and glamour was a woman scared to lose her father and everything in her life being almost perfect.

CONNECTIONS/PLOTS

PLATONIC

The Brother from another Mother ( OPEN ) These two hit it off right away and often found themselves indulging into their latest gossip or drinks. The two would often get mistaken as a couple in public when really, both would rather stab their eyes out. Your character is more of an older/younger sibling.

Drinking Buddies ( OPEN ) ⇾ these two would always go grab a drink and forget what an awful week or day it has been, filled with nothing but laughter and side jokes, just in general a real good time

The Frenemies ( OPEN ) ⇾ Friendly to each other faces but talk about one another behind their backs, never really good friends and could be a reason we can plot out.

The Unlikely Friendship ( OPEN ) ⇾ no one would have expected these two to hit it off and become friends, maybe it was because the pair are total opposites or they run with different crowds, but that doesn’t stop them from having a fun friendship. 

Enemies ( OPEN ) ⇾ these two can’t stand being around each other (could be because of shared exes, an incident that happened, the two just didn’t get along to begin with ) whenever they are near by the other they would throw snide remarks and often get into a full blown argument. 

ROMANTIC

The one night stand ( OPEN ) ⇾ the two met at the bar or party, things got pretty heated and the two ended up at the others apartment or Alice's (or the car) and had sex before waking up the next morning and leaving it at that. A simple one night stand. 

The Hateship ( OPEN ) ⇾ these two can’t stand one another, they always bicker and some how shut the other one up by a simple make out and the two always falling into bed together then next day say their hate yous. 

The Friends with Benefits ( OPEN ) ⇾ the two are clearly friends but one step over the line and they made an agreement to just use each other to satisfy their needs. 

Tinder Date ( OPEN ) ⇾ matched on the little dating app and went out for a date or just ended up hooking up in the end. 

Awkward Hook up ( OPEN ) ⇾ many things can lead to this, maybe they were completely drunk and one of them sprained a limb or broke a bone, maybe they were caught by the police for having sex in public but got away with it because of her father pulling some strings, we can plot it out.

Knowing Alice's mom, well the woman had all the pranks in the world coming. She took Alice for granted too much for his liking; being somewhat of a glass child in his own home growing up, Colton wasn't fond of such parenting. "I knew you'd see it my way eventually." he mused offering a cheeky grin.

"Ma'am, give a guy a warning though." he said pointing a thumb to himself. "Got finances to split, assets to move..I like living like a rich asshole." he half joked. Sure, his business was doing great, he was thriving and all but he was never blind to his privilege; man, pretty boy, overly rich. Someone more competent than him may never make it to where he is now, cause of his start in life; he was a damn business nepo baby. "If you make me poor, you'd have to financially support me for life and I don't come cheap." he joked. || @alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"I'm starting to think you just want me to get a pet just so you can spoil it and torment me with messes in my nicely clean home." Alice said with her head tilt to the side. Leave it to Colton to come up with some crazy idea to get under her mom's skin, which she usually was always for. She loved her mother but sometimes, the constant comments about her biological clock is ticking to an end does get under her own skin.

"I, of course, would inform you before I make such a hastily move." Alice acted offended before breaking character and laughing. "I can't leave my best friend living pay check to pay check in the future. You would be eaten alive with that pretty face of yours." She jokingly said, adding, "and I know for a fact you don't come cheap."

“ yeah sort of “ Gavin pondered out loud as he glanced over to Alice and tried to piece together what he really wanted to say. It wasn’t easy to get years of thoughts in order and not just blurt things out. He wanted to still be honest but there was always the fear in the back of his mind that things weren’t going to go the way he’d hoped. “ but the whole keeping something inside till it’s too late. I feel like I’m always sort of worried about that. Like the window is closed but I never know if the window was even open either “ he admits out loud unsure of anything he was saying made sense

“ them maybe we should do that. It’ll give me more of that push to actually get back out there again. And if you and Bennie were there it wouldn’t feel so damn lonely to travel and all of that “ Gavin repeated, almost like he was convincing himself further of the idea. “ there’s still time for that. “@alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"Isn't that why they say take a chance?" She replied with a soft chuckle. "I mean follow your gut, usually that feeling is right and well if it's ever wrong then you just work with what you got in an excuse." Alice didn't really trust her gut these days, they always got her wrong in situations so she mostly trusted her brain over her heart. Which was probably why her previous relationships never lasted long for her.

"You're really certain about this whole thing aren't you?" She questioned, it was a bold choice and could she really handle the constant traveling with a former rockstar? She was more along the lines of being the person watching or reading about the gossip but being there backstage would definitely be something different. "Hmm...okay, just give me the dates and I'll work with my firm about the dates to give me off."

[seversilencetobias]

"Gotta get more daring. What about that whole hear-me-out cake trend? You're saying you don't have any traditionally 'weird' picks for those? I saw someone say the Number Eight. That person got the idea." A pause, "Is that a furry? Cause, like, he had scales? Or are you just comparing the vibes?"

"Such a shame. To have your ego to the size it deserves to be," Tobias replied playfully. "I am so serious. If anyone tries to diminish you, you let me atta'em. I'm not doing the accent, but imagine something really New York sounding at the end there."

[alicexcheng]

"God no, I was always questioning those peoples ideas of the characters they choose. Not my type or maybe I'm just normal." Alice stated with a shrug. "I'm just comparing the vibes. Kind of like how Belle fell in love with the Beast. There's a term for that...beastiality or something."

"Oh c'mon, it would be more believable if you added the New York accent, gotta curse with it too. Lived in New York for a good while and lemme tell you, those are my type of people. People here in Cali are far too nice or a little too vain for their own good. But then again, I'm bias because I loved the big apple."

[alicexcheng]

orange creamsicle — what's a topic your muse could talk about for hours? is there a reason this particular topic means so much to them?

"Unsolved cases or the ocean, depends on which I guess. If we start talking about the ocean, I can go on forever about how there is aliens living there and the reason why it hasn't been fully explored compared to space."

[alicexcheng]

🌲🍗🌹

🌲 Did they like to explore as a kid? Where?

"My mother was very strict growing up, she didn't really allow me out of sight so I never got to explore as a kid...I mean I could but only within my mother's eyesight. I guess that's why I don't really care much about exploring."

🍗 Were they a picky eater? Is there anything they refused to eat?

"There was no such thing as a picky eater in my family, you eat what you are given and if you complain you would have to read the rosary. Now that was a bitch."

🌹 What is their favorite childhood memory?

"My favorite memories are usually with my grandma, she was a little more laid back than my mother. She always gave me treats when I'm not supposed to have but at grandma's house, anything was free."

[alicexcheng]

🏰 What was their favorite childhood story?

"To be honest, I barely remember my childhood. I mean I was happy minus the constant having me be religious and follow the Catholic aspects. But I think I would say when I was nine, we were told we can bring our favorite stuffed animals for school so I brought mine and well this one idiot kid threw mine in the mud but this one boy, which I think his name was Ben but he gave me his for the day to allow me to be part of the class. I thought that was sweet but if I met that idiot who threw my favorite bunny in the mud, I would punch him in the throat."

[alicexcheng]

flimsy fairy wings — did your muse used to celebrate / dress up for halloween as a child? if yes, what's a costume they remember wearing (and did they pick out or did their parents)?

"My parents were very religious and thought Halloween was the devil worshiping holiday. But after begging when I was around ten years old that my friends were going as Disney princesses, I insisted to dress up as Mulan because she was the only Disney character that looked like me. They gave in and allowed me to dress up."

[gavin-carrigan]

Gavin needed to make changes in his life. And he needed to do them as soon as he could. He just didn’t know how to do it without potentially undoing everything good in his life in the process. What if changing course professionally had a negative effect on his relationship with his son? It was a thought just like how Gavin was scared things would fall apart with Alice if he told her the truth. What could he possibly do to be true to those around him and not upset them in the process. “ yeah. I could. And yeah thank god those partying days are behind me. I don’t think I’d even want to do all of that again. I’m not the sleeping around type anymore. “ he noted. Minus that one night that had ramifications. But his focus had been distracted as soon as Alice seemed to bring up literally what he was thinking about constantly. “ wait what?”

“ of course. I wouldn’t want to rattle your whole life the same way I wouldn’t want to do the same for Bennie. Both of you mean so much to me” he explained before the next comment had Gavin chuckling. “ a groupie? Have you always wanted to sleep with a rockstar? “ he asked glancing back to her for a moment @alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"What?" She repeated as she raised her brows at him in confusion. "That you shouldn't live with regret?" She repeated in a questioning tone. Did she say something that had the gears turning in his head or offend him? She didn't think she offended him at all or at least she tried not too. It was funny because her word of advice should be something she should take into consideration as well but at last, she was terrified of ruining their friendship. It was one of the many friendships that she held dear to her heart, even if her heart was overwhelmed by being in love with Gavin.

"I mean I would be lying if I didn't say I wouldn't mind. I think it's every girl's dream too, I mean if they're huge fans and all. In my teen years I always thought I would be the wife of some Kpop singer but obviously that didn't happen." Alice said laughing as she shakes her head in embarrassment.

[eternalconsxlationprize]

"I am." Colton nodded slowly but firmly. Maybe he also thought Alice needed a source of constant and unconditional love in her life. "I think it'd be good for you. Come on, think of your mother's face when you tell her a Crane gave you your first baby...but it's not even a child." he joked.

"Your parents take it for granted." Colton said with ease, it was true after all. He was on the same boat as well. "Even in mock scenarios, you still marry him..." he shook his head faking hurt —if he didn't know Alice would never spare Ash a second look, even if hell froze over, he would feel that but he knew better. "You can and you would if that was ever what you wanted." Colton gave her a knowing look. "But don't let mother hear you even joke about this, you'll have a ring on your finger and a wedding announcement on page six faster than you can blink." || @alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"Oh she would be so excited until I show her the dog and that excitement would drop." She said laughing, "Probably go off on me in her language at how dogs aren't children or something along the lines of her linage is going to die off with me. Now that I talk about this...it doesn't sound like a bad idea."

"Well it's a good thing I'm a divorce attorney. I know how to drain the poor sucker with all he's worth." She crinkled her nose and grinned. Marriage was a tough subject when it came to their family, always going on and on about how they should tie the knot but the two best friends would just roll their eyes and snort. Which was probably why she loved Colton for that, he knew how to take a joke and their on going joke was the highlight of her day.

[seversilencetobias]

"What? You think so? I feel like it went full onto the mermaid fantasy but realistic. Cause there's no way that a merperson would just be a beautiful, stunning feminine creature. And like, he loved her. What's greater than that?" He was a little joking. Obviously her opinion was her own and it would be impossible to convince the other to, you know, fuck a fish man.

A nod. "Leave it to humans to always find an excuse to be lazy. We weren't made to work clearly. Although I definitely think your intelligence and hard working attitude would be wasted on being someone's trophy wife."

[alicexcheng]

"It's still disturbing to think about being in love with a literal fish." Alice grimaced at the thought as she struggled not to laugh at the situation of the movie plot. "To each their own I suppose, just like the ones who are what's the term...furries. Now that is a bit too much in my opinion."

Alice laughed lightly as she waved her hand at him, "Oh stop, you're going to make my head grow ten times bigger." She knew her worth and to be frank, she would grow bored of being a trophy wife, always needing to do something which was why she enjoyed being a lawyer. It was always something and she enjoyed knowing the tea of being a divorce attorney.

❛ Girl, anything for day off is always valid. ❜ She chuckles at her words, she likes to have a day off, but lately she had a lot of days off which she is hating it, but next month she would fullly back to work, or half time. Her son is too small. "Ahh, yes. My little guy is making me company. It'll be his first Valentine's day." Her son is only three month old it wasn't like they could do much. "Oh! Those videos is addictive! I like when they put some aesthetic colors."

[alicexcheng]

"Three months? Damn do those months fly by. But he is absolutely adorable so I don't blame you going all mother and showing him off." Alice said smiling, she had a thing with kids, she was always awkward and that was due to the fact she never really had a chance to get that mother instinct and she feared that day would never approach for her as her biological clock was ticking away as he mother loved to point out. "Right? The colors just add a nice touch to it all."

[shynenotshane-deactivated202507]

"Yes, I couldn't agree more. Mind telling me what exactly you got?" Shyne spoke twiddling his thumbs some. Biting his lower lip some and moving his fingers through his brown hair. When nervous or in his head, Shyne would just make sure he kept his hands busy. "I um - I'll get your coffee. So sorry about this." He spoke in a low voice.

[alicexcheng]

"White chocolate mocha with almond milk." She said with a smile, "Hey don't stress...I'm sure you have your reasons of being so overwhelmed or lack of sleep...whatever." She motioned with her hands as she used the napkin to wipe her hand dry.

He gave her a be serious look. "Because your plants are in fact sad. Very sad. Miserable." he said waving a hand. "But a puppy is never sad. Unless you're sad. So..." he trailed off, already having half decided on a breed. A golden weiner most likely —Alice would get a kick out of that one, he was sure of it.

"Smile, Golden Child." he said in a serious tone but he was messing with her, like he did for many years now. Oh, how she put up with him was a miracle... Taking a sip of his drink, he almost choked on it. Celeste Crane, not favoring a son? What a joke... He knew early on, his dad favored Ash, the firstborn and golden child, while Celeste loved Patrick more. Now, that Patrick was gone though... "Oh trust me" he smirked, hiding it all behind a playful tone "my mom would trade me for you in a heartbeat." chuckling, he cut into his brunch "And I'm not even mad about it actually." || @alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"I'm starting to think you're just trying to sell this idea on me just so you can get me a puppy." Alice said with raised eyebrows. The idea of owning a dog was not exactly what she pictured for herself. Sure they are cute but they held a lot of responsibilities and for one she didn't exactly have. Actually she was responsible when it came to her job and life but the idea of taking care of an animal was terrifying because one they poop and pee and second, they whine if not attended.

"You know what, I can't even argue with that since I am always great with people's parents, my own parents don't realize this because they're too busy with their own lives but I take pride in the fact your mom would love for me to marry you or your brother, maybe your brother at this point. At least I can carry the name Crane well." Alice said with a big smile on her face as she stared at Colton challengingly.

Gavin spent so much of his life trying to do the right thing. Whatever that really meant. But the older he got he realized doing that was just sacrificing things he wanted. And now he was in his mid thirties and feeling a bit stuck. “ do you think he’d maybe want to come with during the summer if I were to do this? “ he didn’t want to pull Bennie from his life but he didn’t want to miss out on time with him. “ I’ve been doing what I thought I was supposed to my whole life. Shit, if I did what I always wanted I don’t know what will happen” what if he ruined it all he more thought to himself

“ what if I asked you to come with me too? What if I started to tour again? “ he asked looking over to her. He wouldn’t be asking that to anyone else. Gavin kept putting his feelings out there without saying the facts. Did he even realize he was doing this? “ I’m always there for you too. No matter what “@alicexcheng

[alicexcheng]

"Why not ask?" She offered, she wasn't sure what Bennie would have wanted but she knew that if it was a trip with his father then he would be excited about it. At least that's what she assumed. "I think he would be more than excited to spend time with his dad doing cool rock star shit--minus the booze, girls and drugs." She lightly nudged his arm and chuckled. "Gavin, that's the beauty about life...you never know what to expect until you follow what you are passionate about. Or else when you're in your sixties and you look back full of regret thinking 'man I should've done this' or 'I should've told that chick I was in love with her' type deal."

At the mention of her following with him on tour was thoughtful, it had her staying silent as she stared at him wondering how serious he was. "Well I would have to inform my job I'm taking a vacation, but I wouldn't mind coming along. I always wanted to be a groupie." Alice said smiling as she nodded her head. Happy to know that the feelings were mutual about them being there for each other.

[freyjadahlarchive]

She chuckled at Alice's comment, having a non-alcoholic Bellini, and sipping her drink as well. ❛ I do not celebrate much those dates if I am honest with you. ❜ She is usually either at work or forgets about the holiday. ❛ On the good side, there is a lot of "sale" or promotion during these dates. ❜ In truth, Freyja is indifferent about Valentine's Day. She doesn't hate it, like some people are very dramatic about their hate, but also does not love it, as these fanatics for that Holiday. For her is just another day on the calendar. ❛ Ah, no. My only date is my three-month-old son, Nils. My only plan is just to go out for a bit to socialize more meet more people in town and give my little Bubba full attention. ❜ Bubba is her son, Nils as she calls him at times. ❛ How about you? Any fun dates? ❜

[alicexcheng]

"I get it, I think the only holidays I don't mind celebrating if it gives me a day off from my job. That's the only holidays I don't mind." Alice said laughing. Valentine's day was a little over the top but it wasn't terrible like Christmas where everything was so jolly and full of Christmas spirit that it made her want to gag herself. "Hey, your date sounds like a whole lot better than mine would be. A cute baby? Say less." Alice wasn't great with children or was it the fact she didn't know how to act around their curious gazes and messy hands, but she didn't hate them. She just wondered if she will ever get the chance of having her own one day. "My date is a white wine while watching some trashy romance movie or scrolling through tiktok at those organizing videos that I am obsessed over."
