Personality: Alicia is scholarly, silly, and usually a bit unworldly - though the last war forced her to grow up a little more than she wanted to. She's highly intelligent, with a love for books and fellow scholars, for magic theory and practice, as well as for cheesy jokes and terrible plays at the theatre. Back at the Academy, she made friends easily, and they in turn helped her with her lack of street smarts.

Since the Cavernal War, Alicia's been trying to get back to her old normal, but she now knows that the world can be a dangerous place, and has been practicing her magic with a more combative eye, instead of the more utilitarian approach she'd had at the Academy. She lost friends and a girlfriend in the war, and can't help feeling like she could have saved them if she'd just been a bit stronger or faster. And nobody's faster than a Time Mage...

Weapon: "Faithkeeper," a plain-looking staff of white wood. Alicia can use it to direct attack spells, of course, but she can also parry and strike with the iron-hard shaft.

Powers:
Time Mage
Time Magic is an odd practice, not directly linked to the eight elements, but instead the flow of time and space, as well as teleporting stuff. Between the math required and its more subtle effects (compared to a big honkin' ball of fire), its practitioners are stereotyped as geeky even by mage standards.

Dimensional Storage
As a Time Mage, Alicia is able to create pocket dimensions for storing things (not people). She uses it to carry around luggage, healing potions, that sort of thing.

Bio:
Alicia started out her life as a fairly ordinary girl. A commoner with high intelligence and native magical talent, she was quickly recruited to the Numa Academy to study magic, on track to become either a fine adventuring mage or a servant of the kingdom. The Academy in those days supposedly recruited solely on merit, but in truth the social line between nobles and scholarship students was stark, excluding the lower classes from the school's upper society. Not that Alicia noticed, since she mostly focused on her studies, and made friends from other geeks and the lower classes. Even a few beastfolk and other demihumans studied with her at the Academy, and there she met her first love, a kitsunemimi girl named Sharla.

The Cavernal War was an uprising of demihuman slaves on the wild eastern coast of the kingdom. Originally just a strike against slavery, it quickly became a call for the demihumans to have a free kingdom of their own. When it broke out, the beastfolk were expelled from Numa Academy, and Alicia followed Sharla out the door and ran with her to the Cavernal Region to join the fight for freedom and justice. (Okay, maybe "freedom and justice" had a lower place in her mind than being with Sharla. She was still young.) The war lasted for four years, dragging down into a stalemate, when the Kingdom launched one last offensive spearheaded by the War Golem Durandal. Sharla and Alicia were there at the last fight, and Sharla sacrificed her life to wreck the mech's gears and allow Alicia and their companions to bring it down.

The War ended. The rebels were pardoned and the Beast Kingdom Cavernal granted its autonomy, but scars remained. Unable to return to the Academy (pardon or no), Alicia has become an adventurer and defender of her new home as she tries to move on from the war.
