She has pretty good field vision. Quick and agile, a reasonable fast runner, with good hands to catch passes. Reasonably good tackler. But she is a natural leader.<br/><strong>Playing Style</strong>: She usually makes the ‘right’ play.  She has good awareness from her soccer.  But being a soccer player, when she runs with the ball she jukes and dekes, trying to make her opponent miss her, rather than running through them. On defense she goes for the interception rather than making the tackle. The same goes for offense, she tries not to get completely clobbered, but she is more than willing to take a hit for the team, she is a deep threat with her good speed but is very reliable with short passes.  As a passer she is very safe, making the most open pass, but she can have a tendency to try and do too much, running a bit too far or throwing a little to close to a defender.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>:<br/>A very outgoing person. Allison hadn’t met someone she couldn’t charm into liking her.  Fun, energetic, a magical smile and musical laugh.  She is quick to help someone when they are down. She is very patient and caring. She has a naturally sunny disposition and her smile is almost always on her face. She has a sort of magnetism to her, where people follow her lead easily. She is supremely confident in everything she does. She always gives everything, everything she has, she loves to win.  She puts a lot of pressure on herself, but she lives on pressure.  However she does not take failure well and that is her one fatal flaw.  If she loses she can be crushed by all that pressure.  When she gives everything and comes up short, it takes her a while to return to her normal disposition. She can be sombre for a while, silent, she usually puts any failure on herself and feels that she has let people down.  She really doesn’t do much for herself, always looking to make someone else smile or achieve something.  She can be very flirtatious, but she doesn’t do it maliciously, she hasn’t had a serious relationship in her life, she’s always just been so busy.  She had one boyfriend in high school, but they never got past 2nd base.<br/><br/><strong>Sexual Orientation:</strong>Straight<br/><strong>Sexual Preferences:</strong>A little more submissive but not afraid to take charge, inexperienced, so she is open to experimentation, not much she won’t try.  But she needs to like the guy.  Check my O/O’s for stuff that I won’t actually<em>do</em>.<br/><br/><strong>Talents</strong>: She knows how to play guitar and piano, and sing a bit. She has a Red belt in Tae Kwon Do. She took ballet classes when she was younger.<br/><strong>Background</strong>: Allison was born in South Carolina, the eldest child in a fairly wealthy family. Her parents, a lawyer and a CEO, gave her every opportunity to do whatever she wanted. She had swimming lessons, tennis lessons, dance classes, music lessons, Tae Kwon Do classes, even riding lessons, since she had been able to walk. Her childhood was insanely active and she had little downtime, but she enjoyed her packed lifestyle. She and her brother, Doyle got along pretty well, he was less extroverted than she was and they had their share of spats, but she managed to coax him out of his shell more than others and they always had a ball together. She felt pressured by the expectations from her parents but always seemed to meet them. But when she didn’t she always felt like she had let her parents down, because they invested so much in her. Through high school she was always popular and with good reason. She played on the tennis team, swim team, the varsity volleyball and soccer teams.  She was also a cheerleader for the football team in Junior year and Student Body president in her senior year. She received a full ride scholarship to play soccer at the University of Michigan. She again found a niche right away, a group of solid friends that she almost coasted through university.  She’s currently studying International Relations, in the 3rd year of a 5 year program.  Two years ago, the Michigan women’s soccer team made it to the Elite Eight, where they would face Pittsburgh, Allison was leading the Tournament with 4 goals.  However, in the 8th minute Allison broke a bone in her foot.  The Wolverines ended up losing 2-0.  After months of agonizing waiting she was finally cleared to practice with the team.  After the team’s training camp they told her that they were cutting her.  She lost her scholarship and was sort of thrown out on her own.  She was disappointed and angry.  That year was tough, she needed to pay tuition.  She took up a part-time job and several ‘dancing’ jobs, which were just much at glorified strip joints .  She couldn’t tell her parents, and so decided to try and get back on the team before her parents found out.  She managed to get by with her few modelling jobs and her tips (which were fairly generous), but she is more than just a pretty face ;).  In the meantime she needed to find a way to give her an edge.  And a way to pay the partial tuition she now owed.  She rededicated herself, working harder than ever, doing physical therapy and rehab and extensive training, she didn’t<em>do</em>failure.  The following fall, she walked onto the team and made their, inactive roster, better but not good enough.  She needed additional training, and what did she find, a flyer advertising the open tryouts for the new LFL team.  She had heard of the league but always thought of it as somewhat demeaning and immature.  But accompanied by two friends they attended the tryouts.  She was amazed at how much fun it actually was.  The added income can only help, maybe she won’t have to work as many late nights now.  The only problem now will be juggling the LFL schedule, with her other ‘jobs’ to pay her tuition, her classes and soccer practices.<br/>
