Biography

Alice used to be a nurse in one of the World War II, where she met Cassius, a vampire that converted her into one.   Stuff happened?   Alice became a Vampire working for the Grand Council, she did this for a while with no problems.   However, she encountered other assassins killing people for fun with no reason and showing no regard for life at all. Angered by this, Alice ended up fighting and killing the other assassins.   When she reported their deaths to her bosses at the Grand Council (not being entirely truthful about how they died), she was shocked by the indifference they had to the other assassins dying. She realised that she was just a pawn and life of anyone did not seem to matter to them at all. Upon this realisation, she quit her job working for the Grand Council.  

Leaving the Grand Council

After quitting, Alice recieved a summons from the Grand Countil to see the Regent of London. The first summons was by a letter, which she decided to ignore. She later had Renee visit her at her house to give her another summons. He threatened that if she refused again then he would return with Cassius to force her. She decided to go to that summons.   On the day of the summons Cedric Blackthorne approached her, offering to help her kill Lucius but she refused. At the summons, they talked about the moralities of life before Lucius deemed Alice useless and Alice attempted to slit his throat. It did not work and Alice was kicked out. She subsequently recieved a letter informing her she was banned from the Grand Council for 100 years and she should stay out of their way or there would be consequences.  

Freddie

When Alice visited Toil and Trouble with Willow, Freddie spoke to her in her mind, offering her power if she took him away from the shop. She initially ignored him (aside from naming him when he said he had no name) and left the shop. However, after the Witch stole Willow's power, she returned to the shop to and ended up making a deal with Freddie that he could reside in her mind in return for allowing her to do some magic.
  For the next month or so Freddie resided in Alice's head, taking control of her body whenever she slept. Justin forced Freddie to agree to some promises to prevent him from doing harm to others and not sacrificing anyone. His actions made the rest of the party desperately search for ways to safely remove him from Alice's mind without giving him the body that he desired.
  After the party openly made moves to combat Freddie like destroying all of his stuff, he ended up completely possessing Alice and forcing a Cinderman to say yes to Freddie possessing him. After he left Alice's body, Alice killed the Cinderman that he now inhabited the body of. This made him become a firey spirit who went after Justin when Justin refused to recind his promise. Luckily Willow had set up a ritual and was able to trap him in a barrier. Unable to survive long without a body, Freddie quickly dissipated.
 

Abilities

Alice has the following abilities due to being a Vampire:

Super Strength

She can gain super strength for short periods of time, though doing so increases her hunger for blood. If her hunger becomes too much, she will lose all reason and go on a rampage to feed.
 

Super Speed

She can gain super speed for short periods of time, allowing her to move incredibly fast. She uses this both to get places really quickly and also in combat to dodge attacks. Using her super speed also increases her hunger for blood.
 

Immortal/Eternal Youth

Alice does not age and despite being over 100, still looks like she is in her twenties.
