Snarky and inquisitive to a fault, Alice has a charisma that makes her be both admired by her peers and despised by those getting caught on her bad side.
Her interests are varied, ranging from the musical to the athletic, but she does mainly focus her efforts in finding out the truth behind things, and making sure that truth gets revealed to the world.
Usually keeping things to herself and those she considers close, it takes a special type of person to manage to get on her good side, and as such, she tends to only enjoy being around Gertrude, Howard, Cameron and Emily.
I’ve noticed dating sims always feature a trope of “highschooler at highschool” with varying gimmicks that range from Academic Pocket Monster Cockfighting to Schools for the Disabled, Pigeons and even Fox Spirits; and I gotta know where all the “young adult dealing with the horrors of their uncertain millenial futures” games are? Like what the hell?? Adults go on dates too mannn, and we need relatable characters holding our hands to walk us thru all the common social awkwardness scenarios. But most importantly, charas who are our age mannn - A-
Come on, give me something I can admit to jackin it during family reunions - A-
A Liberal: “Once Bernie is president everything will be fine!”
Me: “Actually, the actions of this system and the harms it produces boils down to more than just a single individual or institutional group, but is actually systemic and inalienable from the State and Capital.”
A Liberal: “Oh yeah? So what’s your solution?”
Me, suddenly wearing all black, masked up, and wielding a bat: “I’m glad you asked”
A complete sweetheart, Gertrude cares deeply for the other orphans, and tends to them in times of widespread illness, which she suspiciously seems to avoid every single time one way or the other.
She’s conscious about looks and makes sure to look her best on special occasions, but usually sports a casual style around the orphanage, with just a few touches to keep her appearance on point. Aside from that, she plays a few wind instruments proficiently and enjoys playing them for the orphans and staff members during some nightly gatherings.
She spends her time mostly with the older orphans, such as Robert, Alice and Howard, but also lets Jocelyn tag along.
Think twice before opening the door when you’ve been warned.
A coat that came to life? Nonsense, this mysterious creature is but a monster that has managed to completely mimic the appearance of a winter wardrobe.
Its full capabilities aren’t completely understood, and only a few daring souls have ventured to try wearing it, proving that it is posible, but also proving why it would be a bad idea. Now, confined to an isolated area, imprisoned within a fitting cage, the monster resides in complete darkness. Waiting.

A total sports buff, and an assertive older orphan who has earned his place as the “big bro” of the house, Howard finds joy in knowing that he’s admired by the rest of the orphans, as well as the respect his actions and accomplishments have gotten him.
But he has his weak points, namely how he tends to force things upon others, since he has no tact and tends to push them beyond a reasonable limit.
He likes to be around Alice, Cameron and to pester Melville from time to time, and recently has developed somewhat of a crush on Gertrude.
