[OOC][Info]Nothing Better Than This Wiki

[Black Aeronaut]

That's a better image than what we had on the wiki... so it is now on the wiki.

Now this girl needs a writeup.

Write-up inbound!

"Hi!  I'm Alicia!  Let's be friends!"

Alicia is proof of just how far Benjamin is willing to go in order to tell Fate (not Testarossa) to go fuck itself.

In the original Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha continuity, Alicia died in a tragic accident that her mother was deemed responsible for.  She was never brought back to life and ultimately her body fell into Imaginary Space with Precia Testarossa, never to be seen again.

However, when Precia arrived with Alicia's capsule in the Metacontinuity, Ben and Nanoha made the snap decision to bring her back to Washu's lab in hopes that the genius can revive the girl.  In the end, it took Benjamin making a bargain with Hild herself to bring Alicia back.

For the time being, Alicia is technically a lich, similar in nature to the Puella Magi only without the chance of turning into a witch.  (In fact, Alicia's phylactery becomes the prototype upon which Soul Gem Replacements are based.)  Another defining aspect of this new twist is that she is reliant on Benjamin as a source of spiritual energy to help sustain her until her soul can do so on it's own.  Benjamin is largely unaffected by this because, as Washu puts it, his soul is "built like a tractor".  (This is evidenced by Ben's unusually hardy constitution.)

That said, though, this spiritual link between them has created an empathic bond between the two.  Benjamin and Alicia are highly perceptive of each others emotional states, even when they are separated by several miles.

It is hoped that her soul will eventually reintegrate itself into her body, but the possibility remains that she might need her phylactery for the rest of her mortal life.  Fortunately, this is a possibility that has been taken into account, and Alicia's phylactery has been made by Washu-chan herself to be virtually indestructible by conventional, and even most unconventional means.

Alicia has been dead for the past 25 years, and she knows it, too.  It's not something often discussed, but Benjamin and the others know it plays a major factor in her joie de vivre; her lust for life is matched only by the likes of everyone's favorite Tamaranian, Star Fire.

Alicia loves and adores her sister, Fate, but because of what Benjamin has done for her, she has taken him on as her own father figure (despite always referring to him as her "Big Brother").  She is also very much in favor of her "Big Sister" being married to both him and Nanoha.  However, this is not going to be without its pitfalls.

Alicia always craves being in physical contact with Benjamin.  While part of this is the conditions of her resurrection, the other part is her own personal desire to be as close to him as possible.  As she grows older and adolescence sets in, it becomes problematic as her antics stop being quite so innocent; e.g.: playbiting and declaring "Mine!" as she does so*.  Fate and Nanoha eventually have to have an intervention with Alicia and essentially tell her that she needs to sort out her feelings for Benjamin, and that she will only cause problems if she cannot figure out what she wants to be to Benjamin.

Alicia loves to tease Nanoha - in part because it makes Fate laugh (too rare of an occurrence as far as Alicia is concerned), and in part because she loves hearing Nanoha go "ALICIA!  Mou... so meeeean!"  But this teasing is mainly out of affection for Nanoha, as she was the one that saved her sister from their mother.  In fact, she won't tolerate anyone else bullying Nanoha... except for Nanoha's friends, Alisa and Suzuka - she loves Nanoha's friends as well, and gets along especially well with Alisa - to the point of these two becoming 'partners in crime' in mischievous acts at Westwoods Apartments.

* This is something known in the field of psychology as Dimorphous Expression.  Essentially, it's a regulating mechanism for highly intense emotional responses.  When you experience overwhelming emotions, there is a counter-intuitive desire to express them in a "violent" way; e.g.: pinching cheeks painfully and saying "OOO! I JUST WANNA EAT YOU UP!!!"  Doing so helps you cope with the emotion and restore balance so the come down is easier to handle.  In Alicia's case, her emotions towards Benjamin become so intense that biting him is the only way for her to cope.  Once she's gotten her fill of "Vitamin B", she calms down and acts much more normally.

EDIT: Oh, and BTW, she's biologically 5 years old, not 8.
