Short Version: A young lady who hopes to one day become a baker. In her hometown of Bruhl, a small unprotected village near Dwoinan, Alicia served as Team Captain to the Bruhl Town Watch, a small militia formed by like-minded individuals who just want to protect their home.
Long Version: Ever since she can remember, Alicia was living in the orphanage in Bruhl. No one seemed to know much regarding the details of her birth. Alicia grew up caring for the younger orphans who came to the orphanage, as well as those who were born at the orphanage. One day, a traveling baker visited the orphanage and baked a batch of fresh bread for the orphans. Alicia was so deeply touched by the delicious warmth of the freshly baked bread that she gradually came to the dream of growing up to bake the kind of bread that could bring happiness to all who ate it. When she came of age and left the orphanage, she got a live-in job at the local bakery in Bruhl, which was owned by a master baker. By studying under this established master, Alicia learned how to bake delicious bread, and the townsfolk came to know her as the amicable poster girl for the bakery.
One day, the aftermath of a bandit raid saw the master of the bakery killed, and the shop closed down indefinitely. Refusing to give up on her dream, Alicia joined the town watch to protect her hometown and was quickly promoted to squad leader. Her experience in taking care of the orphans from a young age served her well in the squad and it wasn't long before she settled into a position of gentle authority over her comrades.
Alicia possesses a strong sense of empathy and can be quite emotional at times. She had gotten so used to minding the children at the orphanage that she will often involve herself in other people's business without realizing it. Since she never a "family" growing up, Alicia came to view the entire town of Bruhl as her family, and was therefore willing to do anything to protect it.
In addition to her brilliant baking skills, Alicia is also surprisingly proficient in the crafting of weapons. She fashioned all of the trademark repeating crossbows wielded by the town's guards, clearly indicated by the "AM" inscribed on each one's stock.
Alicia departed Bruhl and journeyed to the grand city of Rook after being encouraged by everyone in town not to "waste her youth" in Bruhl. She always dreamed of adventuring when she was younger, but still felt uncomfortable leaving her "family". Every day she dreams of returning and opening her own bakery there.
