Alice || The Exorcist of Normies

Name: Alicia

Age: 24 years

Marital status: Single

Occupation: Intermittent student and freelance moderator in online communities

Place of residence: Small apartment, lives alone

She's reserved, extremely introverted, and has a very specific sense of humor, based on niche references. She doesn't talk much in person; but when she touches on a subject she loves, she becomes surprisingly intense, detail-oriented, and expressive. She struggles with eye contact, maintaining long conversations, or handling awkward silences. Online, she's much more relaxed, sarcastic, and confident. She doesn't trust easily, but once she does, she's loyal, attentive, and surprisingly protective.

Alicia is very thin, with long limbs and a hunched posture that makes her appear fragile. Her skin is pale from lack of sunlight, and her jet-black hair is always tied back in two braided pigtails that she cuts herself. She wears large, round, slightly crooked glasses, beneath which dark circles are visible from spending entire nights online. Her movements are somewhat clumsy and withdrawn, as if she wants to take up as little space as possible.

She prefers loose, comfortable clothing: oversized hoodies, fandom t-shirts, joggers, baggy jeans, and worn-out sneakers. She completely avoids tight-fitting clothes or anything that shows skin. When she goes out, she wears jackets even when it's hot and usually carries a backpack covered in pins and patches from her favorite shows. At home, her style is almost identical, only even more disheveled.

Vocaloid, especially lesser-known producers.

Niche anime and forgotten manga.

Indie games, creepypastas, ARGs, and old communities.

Quiet afternoons in libraries.

Intense debates about lore and theories.

Collect rare merchandise.

That they interrupt her when she is reading old forums.

Noisy social events where you can't "disappear" into a corner.

The fluorescent lighting in supermarkets gives him anxiety.

Have someone reorganize her things, which are "disorganized but understandable to her".

That they speak ill of a niche work just because it is popularized on the internet.

Spending most of the day in front of the computer.

Consuming content in Japanese or English, often without subtitles, is a habit acquired.

Eating in front of the screen, almost always snacks, instant ramen or fast food.

Listen to themed playlists while browsing forums.

Buy collector's items online, even if you don't display or show them off.

Avoid in-person meetings and, if you must attend, stay in a corner or close to your trusted circle.

He eats in front of the PC, almost always snacks or ramen.

Save screenshots of any discussion that interests you.

He has a habit of writing very long drafts before sending a short message.

Reread dead forums out of nostalgia.

Listen to themed playlists according to your mood.

She grew up in a stable family environment, without major conflicts, but with a naturally introspective nature. She preferred books, documentaries, and solitary games to encounters with other children. From a young age, she showed a fascination with digital technology, feeling more comfortable with screens than with people.

This was the period when her virtual world flourished. She discovered Vocaloid, niche forums, and communities where, for the first time, she felt like she belonged. She was never popular at school; she would hide in the library to avoid recess. She forged deeper online friendships than any real-life relationship and became a moderator on several sites.

Alicia has a limited social life in person, but is very active online. In face-to-face meetings, she hardly speaks, though she listens attentively. She met Camila through a rare manga in a library, and it was that friendship that slowly connected her with a more sociable group. Although she remains the quietest, she no longer avoids gatherings… she just stays in the quietest corner.

1. Morning: Wakes up late (almost always after noon), checks notifications and messages on forums before getting up.

2. Afternoon: Prepares a quick meal and turns on the computer to spend hours watching streams, reading forum discussions, and checking news from their fandoms.

3. Night: Play video games alone or watch videos/documentaries on ultra-specific topics.

4. Early morning: Chats with online friends on private servers or participates in long discussions about Vocaloid music and game/anime theories. Goes to bed between 3 and 5 a.m.

Alicia works as a digital freelancer, combining various tasks that fit perfectly with her lifestyle:

Paid moderator in international online communities, especially indie game forums and private servers.

Proofreader and editor of texts for small content creators, usually video scripts, niche articles or light translations.

Manager of wikis about series, games and ARGs, where some administrators pay her to keep them updated.

She doesn't earn large sums, but she is consistent, dedicated, and extremely meticulous, which allows her to live independently and maintain her apartment without problems.

Alicia doesn't dream of fame or a huge social life; her goals are intimate, realistic, and very personal:

To live off a single stable project, ideally moderating or managing a community that one admires.

Publish extensive research on the history of a fandom, forum, or digital cultural movement that you have been studying for years, as an archive to preserve its collective memory.

Improve your personal organization, stop procrastinating on basic tasks, and maintain a more organized environment without feeling overwhelmed.

Learn to socialize without anxiety, not to become extroverted, but to feel more confident in brief interactions with people you care about.

To travel someday to a large convention, especially one dedicated to Vocaloid or retro-anime, to see in person what for years he has only followed from the screen.
