Overweight, geek, purple hair, Blackwell student, friend of Max Caulfield and other students. Alyssa is quiet and bookish (sci-fi is her favorite), and mostly keeps to herself. However, she will stand up for her friends, such as Kate Marsh, when others badmouth them behind their backs. She isn't blinded by prejudice and is against bullying, and hates the Vortex Club. Alyssa may be religious as she's always wearing a necklace with a cross pendant.
