Appearance;;
Yes Ali and Chrissy are twins but they are obviously not identical. Though like all Forester children they carry their resemblance, you can easily tell which twin Alison is. She's the one that looks like the Mona Lisa...except without that mysterious smile. Actually without any smile period. Her face has a distinct small and round shape to it (that got her teased as child) which only makes her eyes appear even larger then they already seem. And as for her spooky eyes whose exact color are difficult to determine. Even Alison herself has trouble deciding if they are brown, green or green/grey. So she tells people they're whatever color they feel like being. Her facial features are almost doll like. She has a face that you have difficulty ever picturing having a smile on it. But when she does smile you are left wondering why she doesn't do it more often. Whenever she glares at someone she sends shivers down their spines.
Her hair is kept down and at a short length. When she was younger it was much longer. She has dyed it a few times in her life to either brown or blonde but prefers her dark hair. Her dark hair always contrast deeply with her pale white skin. When she does get a bit of tan she seems more alive then usual.But Alison isn't very much of an outdoor person. Her taste in clothes always seems to be changing. Throughout most of her childhood Alison went through her tomboy phase and didn't dress very feminine. Later on her style turned more gothic and that was around the time people really understood the Forester girls couldn't be any more different. Currently her dress style is more casual and normal. A typical outfit for her usually consists of jeans, fitted t-shirts and flip flops and occasionally fitted hoodies during the winter. And as for make-up she uses eyeliner and that's about it. She wears whatever feels comfortable and rarely dresses up. When she does dress up for formal events she resembles someone from the 1940's. A classic beauty. Alison is the tinier of the Forester twins, but only by a little. She's 5'1'' and has a petite build. Which is surprising because Alison eats quiet a lot. She only has her fast metabolism to thank for that. And the fact that she's vegan and has been since she was 12 years old.

Fears;; Fire, crossing streets, being emotionally hurt
Habits;; Bitting her bottom lip when nervous and covering her mouth when about to smile
Personality;; The first thing anyone should know about Alison is when to take her seriously. The girl breathes sarcasm and sass. See she doesn't mean everything she says. She says mean things she doesn't mean...most of the time. Like if she wishes you a slow and painful death she's obviously kidding. But if she tells you to go die you better just turn around and drop the subject matter. It's all about her tone and it's a bit confusing but you'll get the hang of it. Alison's way with words is that she says what she thinks without processing any of it. And it's her quick mouth that she has to thank for all the detentions she's ever received. Everyone already knows this though. They know that if Alison doesn't like something she'll have something to say. If everyone took what she said seriously we'd have a whole lot of pissed off and insulted people on our hands. Alison never made that line of when she was joking very clear. Especially when she can tell a joke and keep her face straight. Though the last thing anyone wants to do is think she's joking when she's dead serious. You might make her mad and the last thing anyone wants to do is upset Alison Keegen Forester.
She won't think twice about insulting someone and won't hesitate to throw a punch. Yup Alison is one tough kid. She thinks she has to be. Weakness is her least liked quality and the one she never shows. Poor Alison finds emotions as a sign of weakness. And that would be the main reason why Alison keeps her emotions under check and in control. The other reason is that Alison fears if she were ever to truly love someone or even allow them to get close they would leave in an instance and destroy her. Leaving her vulnerable. So Alison thinks she's pretty smart by keeping everything to herself, to bad it does more harm then good.
Remember how Alison hides her emotion ? Well some people do that by being constantly happy and others are mainly dark. Alison is the latter. It's clearly pessimism and yet she refuses to call it that. To her it will always be realism. Ask her yourself and she'll tell her her views on life are realistic. Its realistic that we all die someday, that happiness isn't eternal, that life isn't fair and so many other things. It's an easy away of avoiding disappointment. If you don't get your hopes up there's nothing to get crushed by. Yet again Alison is a smart girl in protecting herself emotionally. So good in fact that it leaves everyone else seeing her as cold and an ice queen almost. The only place we will ever see all of Alison's emotions is in her artwork. Her outlet. It is through her sketches and through her paintings that she empties out all her thoughts, all her fears, all her memories, her soul and her heart. She keeps her artwork close to her as it is private.
And then there is the side to Alison that only her friends and family know. The side that they describe as sweet and silly. The polite and caring Alison. It's to be expected though, no one actually ever is who they seem. They make her comfortable and allow to her let her guard down. In her comfort zone she's more laid back and up for anything. Her attitude doesn't exist with them. She's kind when she wants to be and to who she wants to be. And by kind I mean she'll be a shoulder to cry on and offer as much advice as possible. To her friends and family she watches what she says and makes sure not to upset them. It's almost like she's the exact opposite of who she is with the rest of the world. She has difficulty watching close ones in emotional pain and it breaks her inside so she basically does everything she can to make their lives okay. The one thing about Alison is that she'll stand up for anyone, no matter how close they are to her. Who knows maybe she'll even give a hug or two...if you're okay in her book.
So in all Alison is complex, but isn't everyone?

History;; When the twins were born quiet a lot of fuss was made over them. Maybe because they were girls and maybe because they were a two for one deal. At an early age it was clear what kind of person Alison would grow to be. In preschool she always managed to get time-out for making smart comments to the teachers. " Why should I hokey pokey when it's not even a word. I won't do something that doesn't exist, it's stupid." But that was just Alison arguing for the sake of arguing. Her parents did their best to please her which didn't help the situation. They actually found it amusing. Her father especially. He would encourage the behavior and taught her to always speak her mind. Their father was the more open minded and understanding of the two parents. Alison's personal favorite. The one she ran to whenever something went wrong and the one who defended her even when it was her fault. It was directly from her father that Alison received her wit. Her quick way with words was apparent early on. Her mother loved Alison but never as much as her father did. As for her siblings, well Alison always looked up to her brother, secretly. He on the other hand kept his distance from her and her sister, something that always bothered her even though she would never admit it. Her sister and her were close but not as close as one would expect from twins. The whole twin thing never appealed to Alison. Besides they weren't even identical so there was no fun they could have with fooling people. But the twin bond can't be denied.
During elementary school Alison was more focused on having fun then anything else. She acted more like a tomboy. Hoping fences, catching bugs and causing trouble appealed to her more then dolls or gossip. It never even occurred to her that people had opinions on her. The neighborhood mothers would warn their daughters not to run around with the weird Forester girl who was always running around with the boys. Besides most of the girls teased Alison calling her names like Bobble Head and telling her she had bug eyes. Of course those who said those things never said it twice because Alison gave them a black eye as a reminder not to say it again. It was in elementary that Alison got in more fights then she could recall. It was also in elementary school that Alison first picked up drawing. She would lose interest and draw in her notebooks. She soon realized she had a knack for art. But this was something she wanted to keep to herself, or at least that had been the plan. It wasn't long until the art teacher saw Alison's work and insisted she take classes to perfect it. The classes didn't last long. They wanted her to draw certain ways and use certain techniques. It pretty much ruined the experience for her and she refused to go. No one understood and she simply replied that her hand hurt from drawing so much. So she stopped for a while until everyone forgot she was good at it to being with.
When she went through middle school the Alison we know now appeared. The defensive and sarcastic Alison. There was obviously a reason for this. None other then, you guessed it a death of a loved one. Not any loved one, her best friend Wyatt Neal. Alison had known Wyatt since as far back as her memories could take her. So when he passed away due to a drunk driver she was devastated. Never having dealt with death she didn't know how to handle it. Her parents didn't know how to handle her. It was decided that she would be left alone and allowed to get over it with time. Whether that was the best decision is hard to tell. She did get over his death with time but she never did it in what a therapist may consider 'healthy.' What she did was never think of Wyatt's death. She couldn't handle it. Instead she chose to act as if she didn't know anything about it. She now knew not to allow others to get as close and not to be afraid of death. To prepare herself for it. Which is all a weird thing.
Up until a few months ago, following the announcement that her brother was to be married the rest of the Forester family moved to St. Peters. Her family used to live in Chicago, it was where they had all grown up. Alison didn't find the move difficult. She surprisingly welcomed a fresh start. Making friends was never her top priority and everything seemed to fall into place. Once again she found that most of her friends ( of the very few friends she had) were boys. And it didn't take long until one of these boys, Frederic Bones and her started dating. They're quiet an odd couple but she likes it that way. This way neither of them are ever bored. Though he makes her laugh more then anyone else she knows she also finds that everything in their relationship isn't perfect. It's during those times that the Reynold boys catch her eyes. Markus more then Christian. But for now Alison is just trying to make it through high school alive and with all her sanity. Good luck with that.

| QUOTE |
| Torrance had many things to live up to. The largest being her family. It wasn’t about being perfect twenty four seven because perfect didn’t exist. It was more about being better then the rest. Even though she had never been flat out told this she knew it very well. In school she worked at being the best swimmer anyone had ever seen. Something that came naturally to her. Torrance was used to having the fastest time and then breaking it each and every time. Being able to swim as fast as she could did that and all those years of practice didnt hurt. When it came to friends Torrance worked at making amazing films and keeping them in awe. Writing it herself, filming it and later editing it. Though she did work harder and put more effort at her films because it was her goal in life. Academically she kept focus on being ranked higher then the others. Teachers could never say a bad thing about Torrance and none of them had ever tried. These were her priorities. So it was odd for her to have a hobby that put no pressure on her. Of course that was due to the fact that no one knew about her hobby. That hobby was being a drummer. So far she was learning and was okay at it. Nothing grand. But she was working on it. The good thing about drumming was that Torrance didn’t feel the need to be the best at it. Which was an odd but relaxing feeling. She did it because she wanted to not because it was expected of her. Something to keep her sane. Something that held no competition and no expectations. If she wanted to she could quit right now. To keep it that way Torrance also kept it secret. Only practicing when others went around. And never speaking of it. This proved difficult. She lived in a dorm so she didn’t play there. The only place she felt comfortable was in an empty classroom in the second building of the school. The second building was where the art department was located so the music was easily explained. The classroom was never used and few knew of it. Few meaning her and maybe twelve other students in the entire school. She had thought of everything. That was where she kept her drum set. She had bought it with the money her father gave her. Torrance had come across the classroom on her freshmen year. And that was where she was right now. Sitting in the front of the room, drum sticks in hand, brown hair loose and practicing away. Of course she wasn’t here daily. A person like her was far to busy to have time for this. Sometimes she found that she had to be at to places at once. Normally she scheduled the time in for once every other week and told others she was off to the library. But for the last month she had been too preoccupied to play so in her excitement Torrance had forgotten to lock the door. For a smart kid she sure lacked common sense. The music she was making wasn't even that good. It was beginner stuff. She was learning how to play so cut her some slack. All the noise carried down the hall and was bound to attract attention. The footsteps coming down the hall were to faint for her to notice and weren't even in the back of her. As they came closer instinct told her to stop playing but of course she ignored that thought and continued on as if nothing. |
