Appearance and Personality: Alyssa is a beautiful young woman with long black hair who stands about five feet tall. She is friendly and very perceptive, with a real nose for news. She is driven and curious, willing to go to great lengths to get a story. She is still idealistic, intrigued by scandal but not yet old or experienced enough to become jaded by it.
Background: Alyssa was born in Boston, where she spent most of her childhood. Her father, a newspaperman with a reputation as a muckraking yellow journalist, served in the Great War, where he wrote outstanding articles and took impressive photographs from the front, for which he won some awards. When he returned from the war, he had an air of respectability about him that he never had before, and his daughter was inspired to follow in his footsteps.
Alyssa graduated at the top of her class from Miskatonic University with a degree in journalism. She worked on the student newspaper and then got a job at the Arkham Advertiser while still attending college. Now that she has her degree, she works there full time. She loves the thrill of chasing down a story and digging up the truth, and the recent Teapot Dome scandal has inspired her to try to root out political corruption. She is still not taken as seriously as she would like to be, but she is determined to prove herself in a man's world. She is sure that if she can get one big scoop, she will make a name for herself and get a job with a more presitigious, big city newspaper.
Family members: Alyssa's parents Edward (42) and Rose (40) live in Boston. Edward is a reporter for the Boston Globe, where Alyssa also hopes to work one day. His job takes him all around the world on various assignments. Rose is a housewife. Alyssa also has a younger brother Robert (20), who is currently a student at Miskatonic University in Arkham.
