Alice de Vries

Alice de Vries is an Enchanted human living in Manhattan, New York. She's the girlfriend of selkie Jennifer Lyons and was enchanted by Jennifer's motley-mate, Adelaide Peters.
Her life before moving to New York was a standard middle-class upbringing. Like many women, the most she has is a high school education, and when she moved from her hometown of Hoboken, NJ, she wanted to "make it" in the big city.
Oh, not to be an actress or a singer, but to make something of herself. To enjoy the glitz and glam and freedom of New York on no one's terms but her own. It's been hard, but Alice is a woman of great optimism and positivity, and even things that could be seen as degrading (such as her side gig as a dancer) she has no qualms doing and even enjoys!

History

After meeting Jennifer Lyons and becoming Enchanted temporarily, Alice became fascinated with the world of the changelings. She begged Jennifer's motley-mate, Addy Peters, to help her find a way to become Enchanted permanently. Addy was glad to do so, and bestowed Alice with the Ritual of Parted Mists.

History

Alice and Jennifer met at Thackery's at a random party one night, and immediately hit it off. It took several months - almost a year - before Jennifer first Enchanted Alice, but Alice took to it like a duck to water. She never wants to be without the wonderment of the Dreaming, and loves Jennifer for showing her what was hiding just beneath the surface.

History

Alice de Vries was the girlfriend of Jennifer Lyons when Will and her first met. She was soon Enchanted by Jennifer and fell in love with the Changeling world and approached Will's wife, Adelaide Peters, to be permanently Enchanted, which Addy agreed to.
She worked for several years with Will and Addy as an on-call babysitter for them, even quitting her job to be more present for the children, but became increasingly disenchanted (in the emotional sense) that she would always be set apart from the fae that she had become friends with.
When she admitted that she was frustrated with the fact that she was unable to fully enter the Changeling world and that she felt that she had given up her life for something that she could never be a part of, Will was offended. He felt that she was accusing the motley of using her as nothing but a babysitter and looking down on her for being human. He is cordial, but very surface level with her now, and will no longer allow her to babysit Ocean Rose or Daniel Thackery. He would have nothing to do with her if she wasn't dating Jennifer. He has been honest with his feelings regarding Alice. Jennifer is family, and Will knows that to be mean to Alice will only drive Jennifer away so he tries to stay more out of the way when she's around so she isn't uncomfortable.

Bestowment

Animal Speech: This Bestowment allows an enchanted mortal to converse with animals. Regardless of an animal’s intelligence, it relays information within its ability (dogs aren’t going to describe people by subtle facial differences, but are superlative at noticing smells). By spending a point of Glamour, the enchanted mortal can command animals with a Manipulation + Animal Ken roll (difficulty 6). The animal attempts to fulfill the order to the best of its ability, but will not undertake actions that will cause it harm. The effect only lasts a scene, whereupon the animals normal nature reasserts itself.
