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!
I want to talk abt the remembrance au but in order to do that I need to talk about ghostverse au so people have context but I don't WANNA talk about ghostverse rn
redoing my Ghostverse AU to get rid of the MaaC allusions/references/make it more "original" & while it feels like not much has changed. there is a more solid plot now and it's gay so. yay?
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.
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!
