Alicia Washington (@TheCatKing) [29]

Name: Alicia Washington

Age: 29

Physical Description:  Alicia (Leesha to her friends,) stands at a minuscule 5'2". Slender of  build, her face is somewhat thin; nonetheless, her cheeks round out  cutely whenever she smiles. Leesha's skin is a dark, smooth brown- her  complexion is her only real vanity, and she uses various creams to keep  it blemish-free. Her hair is black and curls up into thick locks that  she keeps long enough to be interesting but short enough to be  manageable.

Personality:  Smart and curious, Leesha sailed through her Ph.D program at the  University of Central Florida. She prides herself on her rationality and  intelligence- despite having an especially short temper. Her greatest  love is her studies; as an astrophysicist, she's dedicated her life to  studying the universe. While not opposed to the idea of romance, she  knows that she's often too busy for even her friends, let alone a  significant other. Demanding of herself even more than the unfortunate  Physics majors who hope to join her and do meaningful research, Leesha  has gotten a (deserved) reputation as a well-meaning hardass. Sometimes  just the second part.

Brief Background:  Born to a single mother in Milwaukee, Alicia had a fairly ordinary  childhood. She went to college as an Anthropology major, but quickly  changed to Physics. She spent the rest of her college career fascinated  with the stars, immediately enrolling in a Ph.D program for  astrophysics. Simultaneously, she began to study geophysics and  atmospheric chemistry as a hobby. She is currently teaching at the  University of Central Florida, hoping to get a fellowship (read: decent  pay and job security.)

Why She Signed Up:  She's broke. The advertisement came up on her computer after a  particularly frustrating night of trying to balance her budget, and it  seemed like a quick way to get governmental recognition and cash.

Anything Else?:  She's allergic to cats (even though they're adorable,) loves candied  ginger (it's an acquired taste,) and is sick and tired of her mother  asking her about her love life (the existence of which is only  hypothetical.)
