"Listen, Mac. She may not telegraph, but that chimp sure does. Keep an eye on the screen."

"No doy ni una, flaco, pero soy una gran fan."

"eek eek! Katso, idiootti!"

"Is that piece of junk recording you? Let's make it snappy!"

"no lo mirés mucho a ape porque se enoja, ¿eh?"

"eek eek! Sinä suututit minut!"

She's based off one of Punch-Out's Arm wrestling rival, Alice & Ape III. In my shabby timeline, she grew up and revamped her robot pal into the perfect coach, accidentally neglecting the physical training itself.

Despite having a knack for machines, Alicia went down the sporty path simply because she likes it, even without being the most fit for it. As a result, she's after a Bachelor's degree in physical education and sports in Helsinki (courtesy of her fussy finn father), currently undergoing her social services that include sports engineering, getting punched in the face and fetching coffee for the WVBA highter ups.

After visiting the USA for the first time, Alicia developed a type for american boys with rhythm, and got her latest patent almost stolen thanks to her blind loyalty to her superiors. While her contralto voice and mellow demeanor may make seem composed, she has misanthropic swings after being doormatted for too long. Ape's suggested her to build a death ray to let her feelings out, but Alicia assures him that escabio helps her enough.

Likes: FEMTO-ITX motherboards, walks in the forest, wearing skimpy clothes.

Dislikes: River Plate, turros, Juha Mieto haters.

Fun fact: Her tango is much, much better than her boxing.

Ape IV: As a child, Alicia considered Ape the only friend she had, but she's learned to step out her social bubble as she grew older. Even now though, Ape is only kind and cooperative to his creator, despite being programmed as a "friend to all". He exclusively speaks finnish so that Alicia's new friends can't step into their convos.

Little Mac: Mac is more inclined to fight a doomsday device like Ape rather than Alicia, even if it breaks his contractual obligation to box against any living being on the ring. After-hours, Alicia occasionally asks him to show her around the best parts of NY, which suits him just fine because he secretly has a thing for tall, tech-savvy blondes.

Rory Ryan: What started as Rory picking on Alicia blossomed into a friendship after she accidentally smashed Rory's nose with a volleyball during a game. They bonded over being the youngest athletes, listening to the same pop bands, and sharing rancid flash videos via infrared. Alicia lets all of Rory's jokes slide because she's a lonesome teenager in her eyes; Rory thinks that's just because Alicia is a wuss.

WVBA: Since she entered to the association, Alicia has had an unrequired crush on Disco Kid (alas, he's only in love with himself). She also went back and forth getting boxig advice from the two Minor Circuit licensed teachers: Von Kaiser and Glass Joe, though it was mainly due to Ape being in alpha. Alicia doesn't have the heart to tell the "old men" that their methods might be a little outdated.

As for her degree, Super Macho Man and Arm Candy (heads of male and female divisions) sometimes snatch her up for free engineering and secretary work. While she knows that experience and recs doesn't pay bills, Alicia's too much of a square to say "no" to her mentors.
