Profile
Alicia Sullivan is a Special Agent for the FBI, located within the New York field office. Alicia’s career started well and truly alongside James Campbell when they went to the same university together and became pals when their ambitions to join the Bureau linked. At the outset of her career, Alicia worked briefly in the Crimes Against Children department alongside James. However she was soon offered a training position with the FBI Forensic Science Research and Training Center, which she snapped up in a heartbeat. Having studied Forensic Science at college, this was always her first love. She trained to become a Forensic Analyst with the Bureau, and now works in Forensic Analysis Unit, specialising in Trace Evidence, Latent Print, and DNA. She works in the same building as James and Isabel Owens, and it goes without saying that she is close friends with them both, and Isabel is her closest gal pal.
It was James who introduced Alicia to his older brother, Mark, when they were in college. Alicia and Mark started dating and had a very fiery sex life at the time. Some have suggested their relationship was fuelled by nothing but lust and that was the eventual cause of the break down. No one really knows for certain the true reason behind the break up. It was when Mark got down on one knee and proposed to Alicia two years after they started dating, Alicia turned him down citing that she felt too young to get married and settle. They went their separate ways, and although it was awkward at first, with Alicia still working closely with James a lot of the time, Mark and Alicia forged a grudging truce. At times it’s clear they’re still attracted to each other, though now that Mark has moved on and gotten married, Alicia rarely talks about her engagement-that-wasn’t and the only people she does confide in is Isabel and James.
Alicia comes from a small nuclear family consisting of her Mum, Dad, and her little brother, Max (who is not all that “little” only being two years her junior). Alicia’s mother is English, being born and raised in London. Alicia’s family lived in London from when Alicia was two years old to just after her fourteenth birthday, having moved there originally when Alicia’s maternal grandmother fell ill. The family made the decision to return to America when Alicia’s father, a journalist, was offered a job as a CEO of an American lifestyle magazine based in New York. Because most of her childhood was spent in England, Alicia speaks with a broad English accent and often travels back to England to visit family and liaise with the American Consulate in London.
Alica prefers to be addressed as “Ali”. In fact, she believes only her boss or her parents should call her Alicia when she’s in trouble (or if she ever decides to commit a crime and finds herself in court, the judge). Everyone knows her as Ali and she will introduce herself as such. However, it’s not uncommon for the odd brave person to refer to her with her full name and it’s not uncommon for them to earn a slap because of it.
Although Alicia’s outward appearance is attractive and she has an appreciation for nice clothes and looking smart, she is truly a tom-boy at heart. She’s not afraid to get her hands dirty or try new things. She’s confident and ambitious, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. She's not afraid to say what's in her heart, she's as honest as all hell and will always tell it like it is. She enjoys socializing with friends, having a good laugh, and getting into mischief. She dates casually, but doesn’t seem interested in settling down yet. She’s a bit of a party girl at heart when she has the time to do so and someone once told her she should’ve been cast in “Sex and the City”, though she well and truly scoffed at the analysis (even if her choice of drink is a Cosmopolitan).
Like everyone, she has a few skeletons in her closet. At age twenty-two, she fell pregnant and had an abortion, which was a spur of the moment decision she didn’t think through enough. Some days she regrets it, but mostly she just chalks it up as one of life’s mistakes. In the early days of her career, she was taken hostage by one of the suspects they were tracking and held in a dirty warehouse for two days. She was knifed in the shoulder in an effort to restrain her and stripped naked on the second day and left tied up alone. Luckily, the team located her and she was rescued. At the time she spent two days in hospital following the ordeal and now still holds the memories of it which see her suffering the occasional nightmare filled with flashbacks. On a whole, however, she has used the experience to make her stronger and determined to succeed in her career to the best of her ability. |
