Personality: On the field of battle, Alice is a cold and precise marksman, eliminating enemies from afar with ruthless efficiency. Outside of battle, she keeps her quiet attitude, but in a more timid nature. She spends a lot of her spare time reading, although without interfering in her constant training. She secretly pities those that she kills, but as a soldier knows her duty and will not go against it.



Allyson, or Alice as she was often called, was born on the planet of Harvest. The planet had been terra-formed and was slowly being recovered by colonists after its destruction at the hands of the Covenant. Alice was born to John Nova and Felicia Turner, two ex-marines who had retired from military service and begun a private security business on Harvest together. She was a quiet girl in her early childhood, and a bit of a bookworm, but her parents trained her in self defense as soon as she was able, so she could both stay fit and defend herself when she got older. On one fateful day, much of her city, her school and many of her friends were lost in an attack by Insurrectionists, who were targeting UNSC soldiers who's ship had been docked for refueling. Alice didn't go to school that day because of a cold, and because of this she was lucky enough to avoid the atrocity. On that day, Alice's hatred for rebels appeared, a small spark that would one day bloom into a flame.
Eventually, when Alice was no more than twelve, word got around that the UNSC had begun recruiting people for the SPARTAN-V project. Her parents had heard and even seen the things they could do during their time in the military, and were almost as proud as they were confused when Alice suddenly said she wanted to sign up. And so, after some debate, it was decided she was to join the SPARTAN program. Her parents escorted her to the UNSC ship on the day she was to leave, tears of pride and sadness welling in their eyes. They said their final farewells, and Alice boarded the ship. That was to be the last she ever saw of her parents, they would be killed in an attack by pirates in the following year.

Before the SPARTAN program began, she and many others had to undergo large amounts of basic training. What her parents had taught her up until then came in exceptionally useful, and while many of her fellow recruits were two-to-five years her senior, she managed to keep pace and even excel among them in terms of physical prowess. However once the weaker recruits were weeded out, only the best remained. Allyson was not the strongest in the group, nor the fastest. She was ill-suited to leading a team, and wasn't the best at following instructions. The training that she performed best in, the exercises in which she was unmatched, were those that involved shooting. She was an excellent shot, a natural marksman. This did not go unnoticed by her trainers, and her fellow recruits would sometimes notice her missing during team building exercises and suddenly turning up in the vicinity of the shooting range. It was original proposed to drop her, but some of the higher ups must have taken note of her potential, as she made it through to the augmentation stage.
The pain she felt during that stage was some of the worst she would know in her life, but she pulled through. Seven of her fellow would-be SPARTANS were not so lucky. The only noticeable change to her (at least, the only noticeable change that had not been a part of the process) was that it seemed her cells began to produce damaged pigmentation, resulting in her skin growing a fair few shades whiter than would appear healthy, taking on a near alabaster tone, and a similar effect on her hair. Stranger still, the pigment in her eyes was unaffected.

She continued her training with her fellow SPARTAN's, and was often taken off to do private training. She become well versed in the art of stealth, and her skill with a rifle only improved. Eventually she started taking on missions with the others, acting as Sniper-support. She quickly gained the nickname 'Sharp', short for Sharpshooter. When she wasn't on deployments with her team, she occasionally took missions from the higher ups. Assassination missions, leaders of insurrectionist groups and other rebels. After many years, her training was officially concluded. She stuck with her team for time, but eventually split off from them, used more and more for 'covert' operations. Whether alone or within small specialist teams, she would hunt down her assigned targets, taking them and any witnesses out, before disappearing and reporting to HQ. She remembers every insurrectionist she kills, from the leaders to their guards, she burns there faces into her memory. On the barrel of her rifle is a tally of these kills, each white line representing three lives. She currently has fourteen lines, another reaching its conclusion.
Alice has recently been re-assigned to a special Black Ops style unit, and her shuttle will soon reach her new ship, The Violent Serenity.
