Perhaps it’s her Ambipom ancestry, but Alicia is very playful at times. She makes jokes, likes to do tricks, and even likes to make game for others to play. She seems to jump from “serious” to “playful” rather drastically at times, but it happens so infrequently that no one who has noticed seems to mention it.

As Alicia grew, her skill increased greatly over time. She loved practicing with her father. Sometimes, they would even compete to see who could hit a set of targets faster. When she evolved into an Ambipom, her mother showed her how to live with her two tails. She even went as far as to show her that she could use them to shoot her bow, which she began to do more then she would with her normal hands. After some time and practice, Alicia realized that she could, in theory, wield two bows at once. She would always ask he father to let her borrow his, in order to try this, but he didn’t want her to strain herself trying to gain the amount of coordination needed to do so.

More time passed, and her father grew terribly ill. Alicia and her mother tried all they could to help him feel better. She didn’t know how to help. All she knew how do was use a bow. Then she realized, while she heal his body, she knew one way to lift his spirit. Even while he was sick, he still liked to see Alicia improve her skill, as it became their way of bonding. She decided to show him how she had improved. She set up a number of targets near their home and wagered that she could hit them all, dead center. Seeing it as a challenge, he accepted. Alicia began shooting at the multiple targets, getting bulls-eye's on each one. She was looked at her father who seemed genuinely happy to see his daughter’s improvement. When it came to time to shoot at the final target though, some part of her hesitated, and she barely landed the arrow on the target. She was disappointed in this. Her father told her not to worry and keep practicing and they returned home.

A few days later, her father gave to his illness, and he died. Alicia was devastated. She had lost one of the most important people in her life, and she had a sinking inner feeling that part of it was her fault. This feeling remained in the back of her mind, long after he father's burial. From then on, all she did was practice with her bow, as she did before, but it wasn't enough. She needed to gain more practical experience. She heard word that a certain Scizor was looking for partners for a task. Remembering how she decided she would become a great archer, she picked herself up, and set out to find him. All the while, she tried to put on a positive attitude. After all, that's what he father would want.
