Name: Alice Köhler
Alias: Snow
AKAs: Project 22
Physical Description
Hair: Very long golden blonde, often up in a tight bun or braid/s
Eyes: Sky blue
Ethnicity: White American, German father
Age: 16
Build: 5'7'', slim that betrays the lasting, 'inhereted' effects of an ill, feeble youth, but moderately athletic now healthy, with a runner's build.
Uniform: Snow wears a uniform of typical x-trainee motif; collared jacket over a long t-shirt, with an uneven hem giving the illusion of an uneven, short skirt, pants and running shoes.
Personal Style: Alice wears a typical variety of chic and trendy clothing for a girl her age, taking pride in her looks. She's not obnoxiously vain, but definitely cares how she looks.
Psychological Description
Personality: Alice was a very kind and considerate child, very mature for her age. Even when she was fatally ill, she saw the world with a positive glow in spite of it. When she was taken in by the Sainthood, she slowly began to withdraw into herself, missing her father. She'd never actively missed her mother, having never known her, though of course she did in her own way. She started to become jaded as the personnel in the Sainthood facility became less and less friendly as time passed. When her father became a fugitive, she became significantly introverted for a short while, feeling abandoned and alone. By the time her condition had been 'cured' and she developed her powers at 11, she was a quite, considered child. Compliant, but not particularly courteous. When she was saved from the Sainthood and put into foster care, she began to see that positive glow again, slowly, but it took a hit now and then every time she was shifted to a new foster home due to her fledgling powers. But she'd also reconnected with her father, at least somewhat, and she began to come out of herself with his support. By the time she was accepted into Xavier's institute, she was a typical 13 year old girl, though slightly hardened and with at least some of that premature maturity in her behaviour. Alice isn't an unkind person, but she's not in the habit of sugar-coating or molly-coddling. She tells it how it is, and has strong opinions she'll defend, though not force on others.
Relationships: Alice is very close with her father, and very grateful to Xavier and the other staff. She has many friends among the other students, including a particular friendly rivalry with Andi Jensen; not close friends, but a respectful, adversarial back and forth.
Powers & Abilities: Alice is a cryokinetic, not quite as powerful as her father, but with the same suite of manifesting and manipulating abilities, as well as physical conditioning to suit her powers.
Weaknesses: Alice's only significant weakness is that she is slightly weaker and more frail than other people her age, due to her illness in youth. Her stamina is more than up to snuff thanks to her interest in running in particular, she just didn't develop physical strength to the same level due to the detrimental effects of her condition, and her general constitution and immune system aren't as strong as others. She can be prone to chest infections, colds, the usual everyday ailments most people can shrug off or resist for the most part that bit more easily, or at least not feel the full brunt of. But, as long as she looks after herself, she recovers well enough.
Skills: Alice is learning all the usual topics and skills included in a holistic Xavier Institute education, including rigorous physical training regimes with her powers and natural physicality, limited as it is. Alice took a particular interest in running once she'd been 'cured' of her condition, both long and short distance, and has considerably above average talent.
Equipment: Alice has the usual x-trainee gadgets and widgets. However, she is glued to her cell phone, a very nice smart phone that has two interchangeable sim cards; her normal one, and
the burner one that is regularly swapped out to keep in touch with her father during the stints he has to keep away.
Background: Alice Köhler
was born to father Faust and mother Felicity. Unfortunately, her mother died in child birth, only knowing her daughter for a few seconds before slipping into a coma she never woke from. Alice never actively missed her mother, never knowing her, though she of course recognised the void of that particular kind of figure in her life. But her father more than made up for the deficit. They were each others whole worlds. She was a very well behaved, conscientious child, mature beyond her years.
When Alice was 8, she was diagnosed with a previously unknown condition similar to Sickle Cell Anemia. It was similar in many ways, but at the core, entirely different. There was no cure for the fact her blood cells simply weren't structured they way they were supposed to be due to her bone marrow producing them in too 'cold' a fashion, as it were. They called it Köhler's Snowflake Anemia in the medical journals, and for a short while she was a minor celebrity in the medical community.
That was how the Sainthood found her, and her father, and convinced them they could help. Even if they couldn't save her, they could make her comfortable, perhaps give her more than the year she'd been prognosed, and perhaps ultimately, save many others with the same or other similar conditions.
This, however, involved Alice undergoing intensive treatment and observation, and so she was admitted to one of the Sainthood's private facilities. Due to what they called stringent control measures, Alice's contacts with her father became shorter and shorter, and fewer and fewer, ultimately only being when he had to attend the facility for his own treatments for the research into the genetic condition he was a carrier for.
Alice began to withdraw into herself, the more disconnected she began to feel, especially as the Sainthood personnel began treating her as what they really considered her to be. Another project. When her father was made a fugitive, something the Sainthood condoned to railroad him, she didn't realise the truth of what was happening. She was much too young to fathom it all. All she felt was that she was alone, abandoned, and that her father wasn't who she thought he was. Or at least, wasn't anymore. A small part of her entertained the fact the Sainthood had done something to him, and it wasn't his fault, but only because when they did ultimately 'cure' her of her condition, they'd changed her as well.
When the Sainthood was finally outed, Alice (11) was told she would be taken elsewhere to another facility, and she was under no allusions that her experience there would be no better, if not worse, than it was here. But it didn't happen. The transport meant to pick her up never arrived, and the facility was raided by federal agencies. Alice was placed into foster care, her father still considered a fugitive, but she at least knew the truth now. She didn't fully understand why her father didn't hand himself in, but she was beginning to have hope in the world again.
This only grew and grew, as she became more like her old self, though some changes could never be undone (she was essentially a growing adolescent, after all), thanks to being able to be in contact with her father again, though secretly. He explained to her that if he was to hand himself in, there was no guarantee he wouldn't be found guilty of all his crimes regardless, and that would mean they would likely never see each other again. Alice didn't want that. He taught her about her powers, and as she got older they grew and grew. She moved foster homes often, the people she stayed with not being able to keep up with her powers or some of the rebellious behaviours, as they seemed, around her sneaking away to see her father.
Until finally, she was accepted into Xavier's institute. Xavier had approached her father, candidly, and agreed to look after her. He was also allowed to see her whenever it was safe to do so, no one int he institute would betray them as long as he had anything to say about it. Alice was 13 when she arrived at the institute, and in the 3 years she's been there she has come leaps and bounds in confidence and ability. She sees her father as regularly as they can manage, whenever it's safe, usually on a weekly basis if possible, and has many friends including a healthy, adversarial rivalry with Andi Jensen.
