Alyssa/History

Alyssa was born the year of 2164 and took residence with her family in what is now known as Crestfall. She was safely protected in a stably structured underground house that was once a basement to one of the stores. Her father David made sure that both his wife and daughter were safe, happy, and healthy at all times. Tragically, at the age of 6, she had lost her father after he was suddenly missing when he one day searched for medical supplies once young Alyssa had been struck with a bad fever. After a few days, her mother had gotten aggressive. She then decided to order her own daughter to "wait here a couple of days" while she searched the Crestfall for her husband. Alyssa's mother never returned that night. She then spent most of her life eating and using the rest of the supply her family had and playing by herself in the very dangerous environment. With all of the time spent running around and avoiding the Faded, she became very versatile and swift. She maintained herself so well in terms of health and clean clothing that many other characters that had supposedly seen her running around thought it was just their imagination.

On a fairly smog-filled day within Crestfall, Alyssa was exploring her usual route in search for food and materials to survive. She was 14 years old at this time. Eventually, she had grown tired of the repetitive path but was taught by her father to always choose the safer option. She didn’t, and chose to turn right this time, towards southern downtown in Crestfall. She was cautious, and walked silently to sneak by the Faded alongside the walls and alleyways. For the first time in her life, however, she heard faint music. It was a marvel to her ears and soul.

It was then that finally she saw her.

Hikaru Sakura was walking in the crossroads towards the west, while Alyssa was about to cross towards the north again. The marvelous music played in her red large headphones, and a neon scarf trailed alongside her in the wind. Alyssa was mesmerized. She was instantly captivated, but never spoke in 6 years now. She was awkward, and adjusted her red scarf with pride. Hikaru finally turned her gaze with caution, most likely because of the bright red emanating from her scarf. She too, froze on the spot. They looked toward one another for half a minute, before Hikaru slowly walked towards Alyssa, cautious and close to readying her Quickscope rifle. When she got close, she removed her headphones and turned off her music player. The shy and awkward girl never had a plan to respond, so she simply looked at the floor. Eventually, Alyssa built the courage to respond and the two lived with one another for the next few years until they prepared for the deadly journey away from Crestfall.
