So, I made Alice as a dark with I'm certain different rules than everyone else based her. She's based off a persona 4 shadow, rather than being an evil version of Sky. In other words, she's a conduit for all the feelings Sky doesn't want to feel or hides away. So anyways, here's an origin story, I suppose.
--------
The "dark" awoke with a start. At first, she was empty. Just an empty body, that couldn't really be seen, but as time when by, emotions and feelings flooded in. The emotions that her "light" was pushing back. The emotions made her into the shape of a childhood fantasy. Of a child's imaginary friend. She was given an adventurous spirit, and a thousand dreams. She was also given weakness. The "dark" was incredibly frail, and as weak as a child. She had the instincts and feelings of a child. But she felt what was missing. She was only a part of a person. She was incomplete. Somebody out there held the other part....Sky...
The name floated through her mind. Whoever was stuck with these other emotions, the reverse of mine. Must be so, so lonely. She might not even realize that. How much she's missing. But the "dark" knew. Yet she had no way to do anything. She wasn't strong enough. She couldn't lead or make decisions easily. That was what Sky could do. Not her. So she waited for a while. To find something worthwhile as she waited, she tried to come up with a name. She had to be called something, right? After an amount of time she couldn't tell how long it was, she decided on Alice. It was cute. She wanted a cute name. A name people could smile as they said. And then she waited. For someone to find her. As she waited, more feelings just kept flooding in. Sky must be rejecting all of these. It must hurt so much. I have to help her, somehow. But she needed someone to lead her way. She needed an adult to take her hand and lead her to that path.
Eventually she ended up with a group of other darks. They were planning to kidnap their light sides, and try to kill them or something stupid. However, Alice played along. If she thought of it as a game, it didn't hurt as much. If Sky could survive this, maybe she could talk to her. And then, she could try to help her. In order to make it through this, Sky wouldn't just be able to hold back her emotions anymore. She wouldn't be able to make it through alone. She wouldn't be able to carry the whole burden by herself anymore. But still, Alice couldn't do anything to help. Alice was weak. And all she could do is wait. And feel Sky's fear that Sky desperately tried to push back. She couldn't help but wonder if the other "darks" were like her. Her childish thoughts brought to the conclusion of they had to be. But she couldn't say that. When it slipped out, they would all look at her with strange looks. She didn't like that. She wanted them to guide her. To help lead her to Sky. Then, and only then, could she truly say what she feels. So she tried her hardest to just act like a child. Tried her hardest. But she saw the "lights". She couldn't help but hope. Hope that her and the other "darks" were the same inside. But she was weak. She was weak. She couldn't do anything yet. She couldn't say anything yet. Aside from all the fear and pain pushed onto her. When she couldn't help it, and let out her thoughts, she'd only feel more fear and pain. What Alice needed a guiding hand. She was a child. But, nobody was there for her yet.
