When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: light brown
Height and Weight: short & petite; five feet one inch & one- oh- nine pounds
Other Distinguishing Features: alicia doesn't stick out very much; she kind of just blends in with the crowd.
Overall Appearance:
Alicia isn't the most amazing person in the world. She's a short thing, but beyond that she's very ordinary. Light brown hair is cut in a style that crops her face, making her eyes look bigger than they already do. She tends to wear muted colors, mostly beige and grays. Her clothes are generally long sleeved and hide her figure, not that she has much of one in the first place. Other than this, her clothing are usually of the more 'formal' variety; dress pants and nice shirts. She wears no make- up or any jewelry, seeing no reason for such things. She would be kind of cute if not for how she presents herself; a smile is a rare thing to see from the girl. The expressions she usually wears don't vary much, the prime ones being 'annoyance', 'irritation', 'scowl', or 'bored'.

Man up or I'll beat you with my peace prize!
Dislikes: filth;; cold;; being ignored (NOTICE ME, DAMNIT);; being proved wrong;; ignorance;;
Strengths: well educated;; very opinionated;; open minded;;
Weaknesses: moody;; stubborn;; ill- tempered
Fears: fire, she and fire have a mad history together;; mobs, it was the entire reason she was made a capital in the first place;; cats, those things will steal your soul. seriously;;
Secrets:
as 'proper' as she likes to act, alicia does love herself a good drink every once in a while. she doesn't like to just stop at one or two, though: if she wants to drink, she wants to get so wasted that she wakes up naked in someone's backyard with no recollection of the past three days.
she owns a little brown teddy bear that she calls 'Coco'. It's a gift that Canada gave her when she was younger and getting used to being a capital. It stays on her bed and she sleeps cuddling it at night, but she would loathe to admit it and deny the origins of the bear if asked.
Any Quirks/Habits:
alicia is a bit of a germ freak, almost to the point of obsession. she washes her hands constantly and always carries disinfectant with her. if she spots something that's dirty, she WILL clean it, even if it's not her mess to clean.
she also has an amazing skill at carpentry and other wood-crafts. this isn't exactly a secret of hers, but she doesn't go around promoting it either. she used to be well known for it in fact, but it seems a lot of people have forgotten about her skill.
Overall Personality:
Two words summarize the entirety of Alicia's personality perfectly: stoic bitch. Alicia isn't the most accommodating of people, finding most irritating and/or annoying. She's very snippy and impatient, wanting what she asks for yesterday. She also demands perfection, being a major perfectionist herself, and is extremely critical of whatever is under her jurisdiction. She never cuts corners and would never put something out that was under- par. She is very high strung, seeming to almost never relax or take it easy. She's a major workaholic, preferring doing her job over talking with other people. When she does deal with other people, she usually comes off as a total cunt; This isn't entirely intentional, she just has a hard time relating to others for some reason.
Alicia is a very self- reliant person, hating to ask for help: even from her Nation. She is very fierce when crossed and determined to get her job done right, a surprising thing since she is a quiet soul. 'Quiet' should not be mistaken for timid or shy, though, as Alicia is neither. She is very ambitious, her biggest goal in life for people to notice her instead of falling to the wayside as her Nation seems to do. She is a very logical, rational person, taking superstitions and legends lightly at best. She is a neat person and compulsively clean, almost to the point of OCD tendencies.
Of course, everyone has their off times. Alicia's is when she's drunk

I'm the hero!
1809 - Officially Settled; a city is born!
1826 - Land expanded; Named 'Bytown': she grew so much that day!
1832 - Sappers Bridge completed, spurring the timber trade, which caused an influx of irish and french immigrants.; it became known that Alicia was a TOTAL LUMBER PIMP.
1833 - America buys lots of cut lumber, causing financial growth; bitches love her wood.
1835 - beginning of Shiner's War; french and irish immigrants don't see eyes to eyes, basically. It pisses Alicia off but she can't seem to stop it for some reason.
1845 - end of Shiner's War; Canada had to step in to make them stop raging. It pissed Otty off that she couldn't deal with it herself.
1849 - Stony Monday Riot; Her parliament buildings were burned down. Shit.
1855 - Renamed Ottawa; her old name was too mainstream.
1857 - became capital; the queen loved her for some odd reason. Probably because of how centered she was.
1860 through 1876 - construction of parliament buildings; finally. 17 years without them was a bit much.
1893 - electric railway installed; no more horses and carriages for her.
1900 - America stops buying lumber; Hull- Ottawa Fire; bitches stop liking her wood. she burns again, losing her parliament buildings AGAIN and about four tenth of her city is destroyed. It was a sad time.
1916 - more f!cking fires; most parliament buildings destroyed: new levels of rage were reached.
1940s - Gerber plan; a.k.a. she got a freaking make over (it didn't help her attitude any)
1958 - New city hall; about damned time
1980s - Nicknamed 'Silicon Valley North' for all the companies with electronics; she becomes a techno hipster (never heard of this Crappy Technology Brand? I didn't expect you too; they're waaaaay underground....)
2001- lots of shit went down. electronic companies began to falter, which meant a lot of them had to change company policies and the like. HUGE land expansion also took place. A light city transit was introduced, and smoking was banned in public places: the last was because she didn't want another freaking fire to happen.
2010 - Decided that some parks would be developed; a girl needs to look her best, after all.

Hurry up and throw it! If you don't hurry up and throw it, you'll go "boom"!

She[/font] wasn't sure exactly what she was doing. Though she had been in town for about a week or so, cleaning up the local Inn had taken more than she had expected. She had to dust and sweep and mop and wash and wipe and all of that cleaning stuff. It was a lot harder to do that originally expected, and that was without mentioning a little decoration, getting unpacked, and the kitchen. She didn't like to think about the kitchen. All of that was behind her now, though, as she had scrubbed away the last bit of grime needed before she could open. Now the only obstacle standing in her way was letting people know it was open and no haunted by very cleanly ghosts.
So after that last bit of grime was cleaned up, Cassey Jenkins set about making some flyers. Of course she would hang one on the local bulletin board, but she really wanted people to know about the Inn, and she knew not everyone might stop by and read the board. That was why she was, a few handwritten papers in hand, going around to the other local businesses and asking for them to be hung up. It was also a good way to introduce herself and get to know people, but she hadn't really thought about that.
Sadly, progress wasn't going well. In truth, Cassey wasn't sure which places were open or not! She was to embarrassed and shy to find out which ones were as well. If she knocked on a door and no one lived there, she would be mortified if someone found out, but at the same time, she wasn't so sure she could properly articulate herself if they did open the door! It was a bad and messy situation. It had, however, led to her wandering around town and getting to know the area a little better. It was small, she she wasn't so concerned with getting lost or anything like that, but it was strange not knowing where she was going.
Not exactly sure how to remedy this situation, Cassey just sat. Not on the ground or anything, but on a small bench that sat outside a cluster of shops. It was quiet and peaceful here. Come to think of it.... she hadn't seen anyone the entire time she had been out. Maybe people were night owls here? Or maybe they were just avoiding her? She couldn't imagine either being true. She had known that the town wasn't very populous when she moved in, but if so were here....
"What mess have I gotten myself into?" She sighed and leaned her head back, taking in the clouds and the sky. If the town was this small, she might never get any customers! That would be bad, because she really didn't want to have to go bankrupt or leave or anything; she liked it pretty well here. Brushing a few stray blond hairs from her eyes, Cassey though it best to push the thought from her mind, or at least think more positive. The town was slowly growing, after all, and she needed to have some faith.
