The character.[/b] having to admit that she’s wrong, and will regularly just try to back pedal to try and get herself on the right side of things or go at it from a different angle. However, she is more than happy to point out holes in other people’s theories and almost rip them to pieces if she finds the situation to be ‘dire’ enough.

Appearance:
Beauty is simply an opinion. To one person, Alyss may not be beautiful at all; completely unattractive even. But to another, she may be the most gorgeous being on Earth. At the very least, Alyss is pretty, if not that then perhaps cute. If you do decide to comment on her looks, you'll simply get a quirked brow and a small thank you. If she's quite taken with you, you'll receive a blush and nod of thanks.
xx__Hair:
Ringlets and waves, plain and simple. Her hair is a dark chocolate brown and looks almost black in the correct lighting. Her locks are soft and easy to work with but Alyss prefers to just let her hair do as it wishes. Occasionally, she'll straighten it or curl them into even tighter ringlets. Other then that, she does nothing.
xx__Eyes:
To describe Alyss' eyes is a bit...difficult. In her humble opinion, her eyes are very gorgeous and one of the only things that Alyss likes about herself. They're a blue-grey color, though they tilt more on the blue side then the grey. Her eyes are framed with dark, long lashes and are normally outlined lightly by a black eyeliner. There are times, however, where Alyss will dress up and get very fancy with her make-up.
xx__The Face:
Alyss looks more like her mother then she thought possible, which is a disappointment now that she's here. She thanks her parents for her looks, even if in the end, they weren't exactly the best parents in the world. But then again, that's a different story.
Simply put, the shape of her face is oval. Alyss has a high forehead, complimented by dark and neatly trimmed brows. High cheekbones are a gift from her mother, as well as the smooth skin and pouty lips. All in all, she's been said to have a doll like appearance.
xx__The Doll Herself:
Her height is not something she got from her mother nor is it something from her father either. Alyss is a good 5'7 and the shortest member of her family. Her mother stands at 6'1; her father at 6'5. Her older brother (by four years) is right in the middle: 6'3.
Alyss isn't slim enough to be accused of an eating disorder, but she is rather slender with curves in the right places. She's got the agility and strength she needs to play the sports she loves, and yet has the feminine grace to her that shows she's not a complete lost cause.
Summer after summer in her native Australia has caused her skin to be stuck with a permanent sun-kissed glow and freckles brush along her cheeks, shoulders, torso, and nose.
xx__The Style:
Alyss likes to wear things that are comfortable but stylish at the same time. She likes to mix bright things with solid colors and prefers to wear tanks and t-shirts, over any long-sleeve. However, she'd rather not freeze so she'll wear them anyway.
Alyss has a habit of flaunting around her long legs, but that's only because she prefers to wear skirts and dresses over jeans. Again, she's not going to wear a skirt in a blizzard so clearly, she has a few pairs of jeans in her closet, somewhere.
Family:
FATHER: Taylor Bryan Garver ;; The man was everything needed in a father. Alyss was Daddy's little girl and when she turned five and found out about her invisiblity powers, he was there to help her understand what was happening.
Sadly, he up and died six years ago, leaving Alyss with her mother and brother.
MOTHER: Maria Sandra King ;; Maria is one of the reasons that Alyss is currently in Blackbriar. As much as she loved her daughter, the powers that Alyss held frightened her and she made her leave Australia.
STEP-FATHER: Steven Alec King ;; A rather snobby man who has a dislike for mutants and anything to do with them, he was quite glad to see Alyss leave. The two never really got along anyway.
BROTHER: Aiden Taylor Garver ;; Older then his younger sister by five years, Aiden currently resides in Blackbriar with Alyss and the two take care of each other. He too is a mutant and left six months after his mother remarried, already loathing Steven.
Personal History
Well, we're not doing a Cinderella story here folks. Which means that, clearly there was drama and trauma in the Garver family, even before Alyss was born.
Taylor and Maria met in a bar on a warm summer night. No, they did not get drunk and have unprotected sex, causing Maria to get pregnant. Actually, they simply drank in moderation and had fun, exchanging numbers before parting ways. At first, Maria was worried that Taylor would never call. However, her worries vanished soon enough and the two went on another date.
Personality:
NEGATIVE:
Alyss is not a kind, sweet, polite girl. She might have been at one time but all those around her, including her mother, have a hard time remembering when she acted in such a manner. On a good day she is blunt, rude, snippity, and rather bitchy. She dislikes other people of her same gender -for personal reasons- but has been known to have one or two female friends. However her attitude towards the opposite gender is almost a complete 180 from her previously stated demeanor. She tends to joke, usually with more sarcasm then not however, flirt, and allows herself to be rather open with men.
The female doesn't care what others think, long since abandoning the childish notion of 'fitting in' since before she turned eight. Alyss is independent, yet a strong teamleaderplayer. The girl is too smart to willingly follow someone without questions and this has been shown in her love of sports and...well, leading those sports teams. Alyss is very confident in just about everything she does and will sometimes come across as cocky or concited, but that's really not the case.
Alyss has always been an extremely stubborn girl. She loathes
Forgive and forget is not the case with Alyss. It takes a lot of wrongs to make her furious with you, but if she is, don't expect a simple 'I'm sorry' to work. Let her cool off before you go and apologize, as she's likely to storm out after a fight. However, if you decided to apologize right away, be wary of her actions. If you're lucky, Alyss may forgive you. More often then not, however, the female will use her acting skills and get close to you, perhaps cupping your cheek in a kind way or a light hug, before slapping your cheek and snapping at you in a rather venomous tone.
POSITIVE:
Egads! Yes, Alyss has some positives! Shocking, isn't it?
Now, if people actually got past the snippity comments, attitude, and all that nice jazz, they would see that Alyss can be a very sweet girl. Sure, its rare and only reserved to close friends, but its possible.
Fears:
- Acrophobia- Fear of heights
- Autophobia- Fear of being alone
- Brontophobia- Fear of thunder and lightning
- Necrophobia- Fear of death
- Philophobia- Fear of falling in love
Strengths: Well, obviously her Elemental control is a strength. Alyss has trained hard and gained control over this power
Weaknesses:
You.
