Name Given at Birth: Alicia Eleanor Westcott
Nicknames: Ali
Hometown or where you were born: I was born in London, England.
Current Residence: I live in Madame Sanguine’s brothel just outside of London proper.
Age: In mortal years I am 101. However, immortally I am 24.
Class: Before this curse I was a member of one of London’s most respected families. Now, whore…harlot…prostitute…vampire. Take your pick.
Are you dead or alive? Very dead.
If dead, how did you die or how were you sired? At the age of 24 I became engaged to a fine man named Jeffery Theodore Smalley. On our way home from the theatre one night, our carriage threw an axel. While Jeffy was tending the axel with our coachman I was taken and sired by the Madame. I shall never forgive her for stealing my happiness.
Short term goal: To assist the Ancient One in drinking from the sacred chalice. Though I detest her and all she stands for she is the sustaining power behind all that I know of an existence.
Long term goal: To find a way to escape this wretched place and end this curse. I most wish to avenge my death and the pain my family has been suffered to.
What do you do, your main function in life/society? Since I have no life to speak of, being dead and all, and society does not think too highly of prostitutes I spend most of my time here in the brothel. My function here is to seduce unwitting customers to provide blood for myself and the coven, sustaining and increasing our power. As I have proven to be one of the most desired of the girls I am forced to do the Madame’s bidding when matters of lust are concerned.
Have you ever taken a life? I have taken many lives. To put it politely, while my customer’s are in the throws of passion I press my lips to their neck. My lips pierce the flesh and a wave of pain, or what they think is ecstasy, courses through their bodies. Within a short they have been drained. I suppose it’s the most pleasurable way one could go. I often look back upon past clients in my appointment book in which I keep a record of all clients marking each victim with a bloodied fingerprint. Looking back upon these names I often grow sad at the creature I have become.
Have you ever committed or been convicted of a crime? Last I heard killing someone was a crime. However, I have yet to be convicted of such.
Closest friends/How did you meet? Though I trust no one in the brothel the one I have developed a bond with is Bridget. All the others that I share this condemned subsistence with are merely coworkers.
Pets: The maniacs.
Favorite food: Warm blood.
Favorite place to relax: Alone in my bedchamber with a book.
Favorite Drink: Please refer to "favorite food."
What's your bedtime? Are you referring to a bedding time or when I am to sleep?
What, if anything, do you usually wear on your feet? I have a lovely pair of leather boots.
Are you married or single? In this miserable world I am single though technically sired to the Madame. In the mortal world I would have been a happily married woman.
Do you have a family / who are they: I had a very fine family: a mother, father and a brother. In the years following my transition I would often sneak into the city. There I could catch glimpses of the people I grew up with. Obviously, all of the family that I knew has passed on. I’m glad to know they are in a much better place than I, being trapped between life and death.
Favorite Entertainment: Tormenting the maniacs.
Most Humiliating Moment: I am never humiliated.
Proudest Moment: Winning the heart of one of the most handsome men I have ever met, Jeffery Theodore Smalley.
What do you look for in the opposite sex? A pulse.
In our Hierarchical Society everybody has somebody "over" them, who is your immediate "overlord"? Madame Sanguine.
How do you feel about that person? I detest her for the existence she has cursed me with but I am forced to submit to her for she provides me with the means of survival. I wish upon her damnation to the fiery black of Hell.
Favorite sport to watch: Please refer to "favorite entertainment."
Do you remember your first kiss? Indeed, I do. Jeffy and I were enjoying a lovely picnic in the park and decided to walk along the pond. It was very sweet.
Do you keep in touch with your childhood friends? No, as it is impossible to.
Do you have dirt/mud floors or stone? The floors of the brothel are wood and stone.
What is your bed made of? I have a very nice, fluffy down mattress.
How many people sleep in your bed? I have many visitors who begin their eternal sleep in my bed but I am the only one who regularly sleeps there.
