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 being an outstanding mechanic engineer, Alicia went down the sporty path simply because she likes it, even without being the most fit for it.
As a result, she's pursuing a master's degree in sports engineering which includes robotics, data analytics,
getting punched in the face and serving coffee to the WVBA's top brass.
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, the workplace dishonesty and elitism she faces daily drives her
to have a bleak outlook in life. Ape's suggested her to build a death ray to channel her stress better, but
Alicia assures him that escabio and skincare 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: Even before joining the WVBA, Alicia's been a fanatic of Mac's technical journey. Now that she's able to contact him directly, she occasionally asks Mac to aid her with her engineering demos, which suits him just fine because he secretly has a thing for tall, tech-savvy blondes.
[♀] Little Mag: Mag is more inclined to fight a doomsday device like Ape rather than Alicia, even if it breaks her contractual obligation to box against any living being on the ring. Her Samus Aran-esque infatuation might still linger.
Rory Ryan: What started as Rory picking on Alicia for being a wimp, blossomed into a friendship after the latter accidentally smashed Rory's nose with a volleyball. They bonded over being the youngest athletes at the female division, listening to the same pop bands, and sharing rancid flash videos via infrared. It is only with Rory that Alicia can comfortably bring her snarky side out.
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 masters, 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 just waiting for the next handsomely paid gig.
