Citizen

Alyssa is a violinist, but she's currently on a hiatus due to her recent decision not to perform without a career partner.

Personality

Alyssa is a peculiar gal. She often acts without any sort of plan in mind, just to "free her schedule for whatever may happen," and normally reacts to impulses she gets from just about anything. Impromptu shopping trips or an unexpected hour of bird watching are only two of the things she may end up doing for a day when she's simply out for a walk. Also, whenever she can, Alyssa likes to turn things into "games." Introducing oneself requires a declaration of the "name game" being played, and the agreement of both players to play is required for her to begin. In other words, the acceptance and agreement to her game is all it takes to get a name out of her. Usually. 

Additionally, Alyssa is a rather fickle person. This is partially due to the fact her emotions tend to completely dictate her actions, and the feelings themselves have a tendency to fluxate regularly. They have an incredibly strong influence on her, and thus she simply can't help letting them guide many, if not all, her decisions. Sob stories, pleads for mercy, and the dreaded "puppy dog eyes" work on her every single time, no matter who they're from usually. And the same thing goes for anger. If she gets upset or annoyed, any professional opinion from her vanishes, and she acts purely based off of her emotions, such as slapping a composer who criticized her playing or talking back to a teacher who disagreed with her. Not the smartest decisions, but it was what she felt like doing regardless. 

In accordance to that, Alyssa also tends to say what she means right when she means it. Subtlety isn't a word in her language, and she couldn't "drop hints" without outright  blurting out what she wanted. Sparing people's feelings isn't done by delaying the inevitable either; it's done by getting it over with and not lingering on it any more than necessary. And...well she doesn't exactly see any problem stating her views and opinions as plainly as possible and as open as well. If she doesn't like you, you deserve to know. 

With the above considered, it's safe to say Alyssa works best on her own. However while normally being able to function by yourself is a good thing, with Alyssa, it just happens to go a step further than simply being able to handle herself. It's more like the blonde can't act under someone else's orders. Mentally, she has no problems not being in charge or having to follow someone; in other words, the idea of being led isn't the issue for her. It's the fact that Alyssa can't follow orders that holds the problem. She's impulsive and acts on her own if it's what she wants; acting strictly according to someone else is almost impossible to her. Thus the problem may lie more with the fact she would just make a shitty underling, unable to be fully trusted as she'll do her own thing without a moment's notice. 

Despite her rather quirky nature though, Alyssa is still considerate of other people. She doesn't set out to upset people or cause them trouble, it just tends to happen. And when it does, and wasn't completely intentional, Alyssa is bound to feel incredibly guilty. And of course when she feels guilty, she has to do something about it right away, in the form of an elaborate apology. Her most common form of an apology though is putting on a private violin concert, which...technically only serves to boost her own ego. But she tries. And she never gives up either, so once she focuses on a task she becomes entirely devoted to it, no matter what it is. 

History

Alyssa grew up with seven siblings, six of those siblings being older sisters and one of them being an adorable little brother. Her sisters and her got along pretty well, as well as six people could honestly, and she was incredibly close to her brother as well. However that didn't exempt her from prettying him up and making him attend every single one of her "tea parties" as the esteemed "Dutchess Kittim". She put him in dresses and made every single one of her stuffed animal guests bow to him, as they later on sipped their empty plastic cups almost all day at times. Her sisters, all being older, normally thought of her games as childish, so oddly Kittim was the only one who wanted to and did do these parties with her the majority of the time. 

As their parents were both accepting and as every bit eccentric as their children, none of Alyssa's peculiar antics, whether they involved anyone else or not, never got her in too much trouble or lecture-worthy. In fact, she eventually inherited some of her parents' energy and personalities over time. Remaining energetic and cheerful herself, it was this combined with her family's overall happy aura that made the blonde's childhood a pleasant memory. 

There was also the fact that from a young age, Alyssa had proven to be a talented violinist. She could almost have been called a prodigy, her skills decently above par for her age. What made it better was that she was additionally passionate about playing and music, which put together made an absolutely splendid turn of events. Whenever she wasn't occupied with school, or playing games with her siblings, Alyssa was always on her violin. Putting on concerts for her family and giving birthday wishes through her beloved instrument had become a tradition of sorts, and soon enough her music became a sizable part of her. 

It was due to this that by the age of seventeen, just at the start of her junior year of high school, Alyssa began attending an elite music academy. There she learned how to play advanced pieces, and sharpened her skills even more, expanding on her knowledge and upping her experience. It wasn't long before she was able to compete in official contests, and finally begin her road to becoming a professional violinist. By the time she turned eighteen, as a legal adult, Alyssa was qualified to travel and put on concerts to start off her career. It took awhile of thought, and some serious decision making, but eventually the blonde was scheduled to fly out to begin to get herself known, with the help of a manager of course. 

And that was how her life continued for the majority of the year. Yet soon, Alyssa was beginning to see the downsides to being a solo performer. There was no one but her manager to share the glory with, it was only her on the stage, and quite honestly it was somewhat lonely. A partner act would be much more suited for her, and so much more comfortable too, so without a second though, the violinist refused to play at anymore shows until she found this partner. Except she wanted them found by her and approved by her, so she was going to run her entire search for whoever she liked. Instead of looking around where she currently was, however, she felt it would be better to go back to her hometown of LA. Her family was there, and someone coming from the same origins as her working with her couldn't be more perfect. Even though such a thing would be timely and possibly ruin her career, Alyssa refused to budge and her manager had no choice but to agree. Now it was all dependent on who in LA was a promising duet partner.
