alise (or lee, as she's sometimes called) is an introvert, on the most basic level. socially awkward but loves attention/assurance because she's not always sure of herself. she suffers from depression and tends to isolate herself when things go downhill. alise is sarcastic, serious, sometimes moody, absolutely hates technology. she's obsessed with the ocean, romanticizes drowning, and has a disturbing fascination with death/the after-life & whatever that may be. alise often jokes about becoming a member of the 27 club though it's not something she plans to make happen, nor does it seem likely as she nears the end of her 27th year.
she actually hails from nj herself (though irvington, not jersey city). i feel like we could do something with that? maybe their dads worked together or something so they knew one another while they were growing up? maybe even have a sibling type relationship?
