Alter Ego: Alison Jump
Occupation: Superhero
Known Relatives: none
Group Affiliation: Union of Peace
Base of Operations: New York, NY
Background/History:
The Jump family had a family heirloom porcelain doll named Dolly that they
believed brought them good fortune and it was handed down generation to
generation. Alison got to keep the doll when she was 12 and she placed it on a
shelf above her bed. Not long after, there were reports of children being
attacked in their homes in her neighborhood. One night, the attacker broke in
Alison’s room and grabbed her from her bed. In the dim light, she thought she
saw something move overhead. Suddenly, her attacker stopped struggling with her
and collapsed with a knife in his back with Dolly laying on the floor behind
him. Her parents heard her crying and came in. They assumed she had defended
herself and, in their relief, never wondered how she got the knife. After the
incident, she began to hear a voice in her head explaining the ways of magic.
Her curiosity got the better of her and she attempted one of the spells. When
she cast a simple spell, her features grew pale and she bore an uncanny
resemblance to the doll. Over the next couple of years, she gained a fair amount
of expertise and became inspired by the exploits of Crypeace and the Union to
use her talents to protect the innocent as she had been protected originally.
Personality/Motivations:
Although she is a very sweet and caring girl, she tends to be rather brooding
and a bit standoffish due to the mixed reactions she has had from others to her
abilities. Her main motivation is to protect innocents, a mission that seems to
have been placed on her by the mysterious doll.
