Alice Stills

Name: Alice Stills
Age: 19
Race: Human
Side: Devil Hunter
Gender: Female
Personality: Alice is calm as she is kind as she is calm. She rarely shows emotion other than happiness, and intrigue. Fitting in with the animal spirit she inhabits, she is cool even in battle. During a fight, she will get vibrant and vicious if the situation calls for it, but she likes controlling her surroundings, and letting her opponent just die out themselves. However, outside of battle, when she finds something that makes her happy, she brightens up as if her icy shell is evaporated.

Alice seems slightly shy towards physical proximity outside of a combat situation, as she is one to shy away from hugs or even physical embraces that people have bestowed on her, only shown touching someone when she hugs her close friends or family. She does however have a Vulnerable side, as she can store grief and pain in her for only so long, until she has to find a release, lest she lash out on those that are actually on her team. When first meeting someone her entire reaction is based on prior events of the day. On Good Notes, she is open... jovial even melodic. On bad days however... it'd be best to avoid her reach as heads can and will roll.

It was her youth that effectively ended her association between the balance of Light and Dark. A routine game of tag ended tragically as she was buried 12 feet deep inside a massive landslide. It was 14 hours she was in that hole, and for the life of her, she's still not why she hasn't gone insane. Now the dark returns her to a feeling of hopelessness, despair, famine and suicide. Only a select few have ever got her to face her fear, and by thunder... she's left those select few with tears in her eyes and bloodied ice on the ground.

History: Alice Stills was born in 1992. Her father was an illiterate Scottish immigrant, her mother was a prostitute who died during childbirth. Alice's father was blinded in both eyes during a bar fight in Chicago.

In 2000, Alice's father died of unknown causes, thought to be through drink. Alice was only 8 years old at the time and was sent to an orphanage where she lived most of her life up to the age of 15, and where she met her future Husband, Jack, with whom she promptly ran away. Both later joined Dutch van der Linde's gang, where Dutch took care of Alice, teaching her how to read, shoot, and the ways of killing demons.

In 2008, after being seriously wounded in a raid and being left to die by her former brothers in arms, Stills sought to retire from the Demon hunter lifestyle. Putting her past deeds behind her, she disappeared along with her wife and young daughter Jen and purchased a home

Despite Still's apparent reformation, she remains a masterful gunman, rider, and hunter. Stills is a rugged survivalist and knows life as a fight for survival; she adheres to a code of honor, in a world rapidly experiencing the advancements of technology.

Edgar Ross, a man obsessed with demons, decides to use an ex-associate of Williamson's to hunt him down: former outlaw Alice Stills. By kidnapping her Husband and Daughter; Ross forces her to comply.
After leaving the region for unknown reasons, Alice arrives by ferry and is escorted by Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham through the City of Fortuna, then sent off by train to Limbo. Once there, Baili is led by a man named Jake to the gates of Temen-ni-guru the main hideout of the Williamson gang. In confronting her old friend, Stills tries to reason with Williamson in giving up peacefully, but this only results in a rifle bullet in the chest from one of Bill's men.

Bonnie MacFarlane and her roomate Amos find Alice left for dead at the side of the road and pick her up. After treating her wounds, Bonnie provides Alice with lodging, on condition she helps her around the city.
Alice works off her debt of $1,500 and her life to Bonnie and her father Drew MacFarlane, but when Williamson finds out that Alice has survived and is staying at the MacFarlane home, he has his gang burn the building down.

After helping US Marshal Leigh Johnson clean up some demon nests, Alice and the Marshal begin to plan an assault on the fort. To gather a team, Alice works with snake oil salesman Nigel West Dickens, dysfunctional alcoholic Irish and psychotic treasure hunter Seth Briars. However, their plans of assault are temporarily delayed when they have to save Bonnie from some of Williamson's men. After saving Bonnie, Alice and her team carry out a full-blown assault on Temen-ni-guru, using a "Trojan horse" strategy by sneaking Alice and a gattling gun inside the fort with Dickens' sales van and then jumping out and attacking when all the outlaws inside are distracted. However, after clearing the fort of outlaws, the crew discover that Williamson had fled the previous day and went into hiding in Mitis with Javier Escuella another ex-member of Dutch's gang.

Irish escorts Alice south of the border to Mitis Forest, where she meets the region's corrupt provisional governor Colonel Allende and his ruthless subordinate right-hand man Captain De Santa. She is forced to work for them to gain information on Williamson and Escuella. At the same time, Alice runs into the aging gunslinger Landon Ricketts who teaches her new gunfighting skills and the base of her dormant spiritual powers. Stills also aids Abraham Reyes and Luisa Fortuna, two revolutionaries working to overthrow Allende. She attempts to extract any information possible from both Allende and Reyes regarding the whereabouts of Williamson and Escuella.

Allende however, aware of Alice's loyalties, betrays her and has his men attempt to kill her. Reyes and his rebels arrive in time and rescue Alice before she is executed. Alice then sides with Reyes and joins the rebellion. After killing Captain de Santa, Stills and the rebels lead an attack on Allende's villa. Luisa is gunned down by Allende's men. Alice and Reyes manage to kill Allende and Williamson, who was seeking shelter and protection from the Knights of Sparda. Alice also successfully captured Escuella. Reyes and his rebels take over the villa and plan on marching to Fortuna's capitol, fighting for revolution while Alice headed back to Limbo to meet with Edgar Ross again.

Though her business with Williamson and Escuella is over, Ross tells her that she needs to kill Dutch Van Der Linde, former leader of Alice's old gang, or she will never see her family again. Alice, along with Ross, Archer Fordham and other Bureau Agents meet in several fights across the map against Van Der Linde and his gang of Demons, but he escapes capture or death every time. Stills also works with incompetent Yale Professor Harold MacDougal and Demon informant Nastas in tracking Dutch down. Eventually, Alice and the Bureau join the Knights of Sparda in ambushing Dutch's hideout. She confronts Dutch herself, who warns Alice that the government will always find a new "monster" to justify their pay. Rather than dying by Alice's hand, Dutch chooses to commit suicide by falling from a cliff.

After the raid, Alice is released by the government and finally reunites with her family at their home in Limbo as she settles down with her husband and teen daughter, along with old family-friend Uncle, and attempts to return to a crime-free life as a student with her family.

However, as per Dutch's warning, Edgar double-crosses Alice. He, along with the Bureau and Knights, launches an attack on the Stills home. Uncle is killed during the gunfight, while Alice and daughter continue holding off the attack. Alice tells Jack and Jen to run while she stays behind in the house to defend them. But in reality, she realizes that the only way to save her family from the government's crosshairs is to lay down her life so they can be free.

Alice sacrifices herself in a desperate last-stand against Ross and his men. After exiting the home calmly and standing before a large firing-squad, she draws her pistol and takes out as many men as she could before they opened fire on her. Still standing, with multiple bullet wounds on her bloody body, she breathes vigorously and drops her revolver, falls to her knees and then eventually collapses to the ground. As Ross watches Stills dying, he is clearly satisfied with knowing that the final member of Dutch's gang is dead. Ross and his men leave the ranch. Jack and Jen, upon hearing the cease-fire, return to find Alice's body in a pool of blood. They bury her up on top of the hill overlooking the home, alongside Uncle. Her grave was inscribed "Blessed are the Peacemakers." It wasn't long before her body was reanimated by the demons she had saved, and she was put back in the line of duty, taking down rogue demons.
