Family
Mother: Alexis Quinton Halifax
Father: Alejandro Rodriguez-Halifax
Siblings: Older brother, Gabriel Owen Halifax
Relationship: Her biological father was her mother’s third husband, a Mexican-born illegal immigrant who married to ensure his citizenship. Alejandro loved his daughter with all his heart despite the lack of affection Alexis showed her daughter. For seven years, Alise received equal portions of a caring father and an ice-cold mother.
Alexis divorced Alejandro when she discovered he was an illegal immigrant. Alejandro cared little for his (ex-) wife, but made sure she married someone who would treat Alise like a real daughter and not just some extra baggage. Amazingly enough, Alexis married Jonathon Halifax, an up-and-coming film director who loves Alise as if she was the daughter he never had.
In short, Alise hates her mother while admiring the cold and calculating way the older woman handles her business. At the same time, Alise loves both her biological father and her stepfather with all of her heart.

Personality: Alise is generally a caring person even with the millions, if not billions, of dollars behind her name. She makes time for a friend in need, and offers help whenever she can. However, she is extremely ambitious, even going so far as to put others at risk in order to get what she wants. She has an amazing memory, withholding facts about her enemies for months or years at a time. You don’t want to get on Alise’s bad side; her revenge is fast and deadly, crippling whatever you consider most important.
History/Biography
With her mother being an untrained mutant who can produce small jolts of electricity, it was no surprise when Alise began exhibiting signs of powers at age 7. Alexis Halifax, heiress of her father’s multi-million dollar fortune, quickly enrolled in her in the best schools money could pay. She entrusted the girl’s mutant training to her now-ex-husband, Alejandro.
Alejandro taught his daughter to focus and to channel her power, allowing her to practice on him for short amounts of time. Alise could completely control her power by age 13, something that she owed to both her biological father and her new step dad, Jonathon.
After months of talking, Jonathon convinced Alexis to send her only daughter to New York to the Institute. In Jonathon’s eyes, it would do Alise a world of good to be around others who also possess unusual “skills”.
