<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 2em;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Alicia Medicci</strong></span></span><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">General:</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Username:</strong> KeyOfTwilight<br/><strong>Guardian:</strong> Cloud Guardian<br/><strong>Age:</strong> As if age matters... (She looks an immature 16, but then again she looked that way 15 years ago...)<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong> Italian<br/><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong> Bi<br/><strong>Preference:</strong> No Preference<br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Aloof and critical at times, Alicia seems far too serious for her young appearance.  The way she dresses, some view as an open invitation for people to molest her, just so that she can pound them into submission.  Rarely outside of combat will you see her smile, but the times she does lead to believe that she is more than just a loner and fighter.  In combat she seems to revel in the dance, as she calls it, and always seems to have an ecstatic and joyous look on her face. <br/><strong>Background:</strong> Alicia was born and raised an assassin for the Medicci family.  The Medicci, a powerful family from renaissance Italy, at one point thought all but dead, became renowned for their Assassins they produced, being second to none in the entire world.  Alicia was no exception, and she excelled at doing what she was told to do.  Shortly before Tsuna's encounter with Mukuro, Alicia was sent to protect the young Vongola Boss, as per agreement between the families that went back generations.  On arriving, however, she found him to be rather weak at the time, and would have taught him a lesson in life the hard way had Reborn not intervened.  <br/>After fighting the Varia, Alicia reluctantly accepted the position as the Cloud guardian, and has since protected Tsuna and the rest of his family, more out of obligation than loyalty, though she does find him to be growing into a proper boss, and admits that if he keeps on his path, he will be worthy of following some day to her fullest.<br/>Alicia seems to be trapped in the same sort of effect as Reborn was, not aging from an immature 16 year old.  Though Reborn was able to eventually age, Alicia seems unable to unless through other means.<br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Appearance</span></strong><br/>Young Alicia:<br/>http://img199.imageshack.us/i/alice0101.jpg/ (http://img199.imageshack.us/i/alice0101.jpg/)<br/>http://img340.imageshack.us/i/alice0119.jpg/ (http://img340.imageshack.us/i/alice0119.jpg/)<br/><br/>Older Alicia:<br/>http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4788/alice0105.jpg (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4788/alice0105.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Eye Color:</strong> Red<br/><strong>Hair Color:</strong> Platinum<br/><strong>Height:</strong> 5'2 (5'9 when grown)<br/><strong>Build:</strong> Petite (Busty when grown)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u"><br/>Professional information:<br/></span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Specialty:</strong> Alicia's specialty is assassination.  This doesn't always mean silently.  Her motto is "Get the job done, whatever mess I make."  She is also exceptionally well versed in the art of being a bodyguard, as well as being able to cook a multitude of gourmet dishes from around the world.<br/><strong>Weapons:</strong> Pistolas da Coltello (Blade Pistols) Two uniquely crafted pistols that sport serrated blades on their handles.  These have been crafted and modified extensively since Alicia first had them made, now able to synch with her Flame as well as fire it as a weapon or envelope the blades.  Coda Frusta (Tail Whip)  An oddly crafted whip that seems more like a part of Alicia than anything.  It is stored behind her back, and functions as a tail, seemingly controlled by Alicia, until she removes it for use in combat.  The whip is separate from the flames and rings, and seems to be made of something entirely different, almost a sentient being in many ways.  Often Alicia will use it in its tail form in tandem with her Pistols.<br/><strong>Box Animal:</strong> Doccione (Gargoyle)  An odd Box animal to say the least, especially since it is not considered an animal at all.  The name off the Gargoyle is Buio Della Notte, or Dark of Night.  It's power is to propagate the shadows surrounding the area, creating an area of utter darkness.  Flames emitted within the darkness seem to be swallowed whole, expanding his power exponentially in respect to how much flame is swallowed.  Secondary ability seems to unlock the stand still of Alicia's age, allowing her to grow to her true form, a more buxom and skilled version of herself.  When used in tandem, the two abilities can mean death for anyone trapped in the shadows.<br/><strong>Relationship with the rest of the family:</strong> Alicia knows her part that she plays in the family, though she tends to keep her distance, vigilant to trouble, always the first to respond, or the first to pick a fight.  She always seems to look down on the fellow members, not so much as people, but more in skill, due to her specialized training.  Regardless of her likes or dislikes, she is often begrudgingly forced to cook for the family, having made the mistake of letting them try one of her dishes in the past.<br/><br/></div>
