She's good at her job, takes her responsibilities seriously and is actually quite fond of teenagers. She has a real drive to help, but possesses enough common sense to figure out when to step aside or to take a break. She loves swimming, reading and occasinally practices bellydance.
She is either half- or quarter-Indian; her grandmother moved from India to the US. Alyssa loves and respects her ancestors' culture.
The human version has tanned skin, blue hair and eyes. Her hair is almost always left free. No, or very faint make-up. Wears tops with wide sleeves, short skirts; belly-button is showing if appropriate. She is fond of blues and teals with silver, but she would wear anything until it suits her. South-Asian (India) influence on her clothing style will be appreciated, even just patterns. LOTS of bracelets/bangles, simple pearl earrings, a golden medal on gold chain. Alternately, she can be portrayed in some lovely sari; preferably blue with silver patterns.
The mecha design is old, but I'm keeping it for the sentimental value. This version both excels in psychology and more hands-on medical fields and is equipped by a cryo-gun that temporarily freezes the target. Her weak spot is the small of her back, where the plating is thinner. She was known for sporting wave-like custom patterns on her forearms that she changed frequently.
