Name: Allison Elizabeth Shaw Nicknames: Alli Age: 25 Height: 5′8″ Sexuality: Undefined/exploring
She’s a classic case of over-competence in a young woman and I won’t explain.
Studies as much lore as she can on not only Walt Grove and magic in general, but also witchcraft after the incident at the Sanderson cottage. Is she trying to understand the past or prepare for the future? both, probably
She’s the kind of girl who will correct an inaccuracy that crops up and then when everyone looks at her like “why do you know that” she’s like “...I read”
Basically puts 100% effort into everything she does, because if she’s gonna show up, she’s Gonna Show Up, and that applies to work, private life, and everything.
Grew up in a fairly wealthy household, but she tries to be pretty down to earth; she isn’t super high maintenance
If Allison hasn’t read every single book relating to the town’s history, it’s just because she hasn’t found it yet. She looks not only at the library, but in the residences of some of the long-standing families of Walt Grove, which has actually earned her a few friendships incidentally.
She doesn’t really try to pry into the lives of particular “suspicious” residents of town, although she definitely keeps tabs on the rumors that go around. After her experience trying to find the Sanderson cottage, she tries to be more careful about her private investigation.
It can be difficult to parse fact from fantasy in her research, especially after the ban on magic–at this point half the population doesn’t even believe such things exist. She tends to trust more of the oldest public available records, accounts from people who are long-gone by now.
Allison actually really likes Max, they get along pretty well and have good chemistry and banter, but she wishes he would take more interest in figuring out what happened to them that night. Until he gets it together, she considers their beliefs and priorities to be too different.
She’s really close with Dani despite the other girl being several years younger. Ever since they met, they’ve been on the same level.
