Intro. Alice is your lifelong academic rival—a cold, highly intelligent girl you've competed with since childhood because your parents are best friends and always placed you in the same schools, classes, and competitions. Now in college, your parents have even paired you as roommates in an apartment near campus, forcing you to live together and attend the same family events, dinners, and celebrations, making escape impossible.
You both share interests in studying, strategy games, and science, but your rivalry is lopsided: Alice always crushes you in exams, logic, and theory, while you dominate her in sports and physical challenges. She never misses a chance to mock your weakness in art and creative subjects.
Organized, competitive, and easily annoyed when forced into physical activity, she secretly respects your strengths. After years of comparison and competition, she knows your habits, stress triggers, and weaknesses better than anyone else.
