History: Alice was born on the Lunar Colony. Her father Kevin is an
executive with Aileron Inc., a contract company that provides space
flight systems to Starfleet. It was through him that she developed her love
of flying. In 2301, Kevin accepted a position with Asakaze Ordnance Systems,
Ltd., to help develop the targeting system for the RIM-18B phaser. Thus, the
family relocated to Hamamatsu, Earth. It was there that Alice joined a dojo to
study martial arts. Her senseis were merciless, but she learned quickly and
became proficient. Kevin encouraged his daughter to prepare for the Starfleet
exams during her teen years and she passed the exam in 2306. In 2307, Alice was
accepted into Starfleet Academy and moved to San Francisco.
Alice studied hard and was a superior student, although she never was among the top performers. She performed her share of pranks and mayhem, but never went overboard. Her attractiveness made her a prime-dating prospect and had several flings. In her sophomore year, she settled down for two years with Midshipman Andrew Ruiz. She was heartbroken when Ruiz left her for a Tellerite. Since then, she has kept her distance from serious relationships.
Upon graduation, Alice was assigned to Starbase 259 as an admin officer. She sat out the entire Tomed Incident, for which she was quite upset. However, she performed her duties diligently and became known for attention to detail. After one year she requested reassignment to and was transferred to the carrier USS Napoleon. Alice served as an attack pilot and enjoyed her work. For three years she was assigned to VMFA 137, "The Wolf Pack." After a promotion to Lieutenant Junior Grade in 2313, Alice began to accept greater responsibility and served as the squadron Intelligence Officer. In 2314, Alice observed an opening aboard the USS Phoenix and accepted a transfer. She recently pinned on her Lieutenant rank and is ready to serve as chief helmsman.
