Alice is a clever, wild little girl born into a reasonably well-off pureblood wizarding family in Inverness, Scotland. The Lemonts have lived on the highlands for centuries, but magic has only been in the mix for the last couple of them, which renders them a new wizarding family in the eyes of some. In general, the Lemonts can be described as more liberal amongst the pureblood families, but they are a pureblood family after some centuries, which means that some care has been taken in the matches made.

Alice is her parents' eldest. She has blue eyes and wildly curly ginger hair, accompanied by a smack of freckles on her cheeks and a cute button nose. Despite the fact that she tends to get herself dirty more often than not, she is always dressed in skirts. Alice has always been an energetic child, getting into trouble with the other local magical children and sneaking off to play with muggles more than once. Her magic first manifested when she was trying to catch a frog with some kids in the neighbourhood, and after frustratingly having missed the frog so many times, the frog was caught mid-leap in air until Alice got her grabby hands on it. Thankfully no muggles were present at the time, but her parents were more strict about her choice of playing partners afterwards.
