quick facts
Will answer to Allison, Allie, Al, hey shitface, etc.

Has spent her entire life living in Westchester County. She attended public school in Sleepy Hollow and graduated as part of Sleepy Hollow High School's class of 2007.

A self described 'party girl', Allison is no stranger to a good time. She had perfected the art of sneaking out and sneaking back in by the tenth grade and the older she got, the easier it became - even when heavily intoxicated. It's a talent she is proud of and still practices to date - though that is more for her own amusement than due to her parents.

Allison has never had a truly serious relationship. Although she is quick to get into relationships, she tends to duck out as soon as things start to get serious. Although her parents always had a happy relationship and marriage she isn't sure she truly understands the concept of being tied to one person for the rest of her life. The idea scares her just a little bit. She does, however, make sure that her needs are met - frequently and with little shame.

A HUGE Harry Potter nerd, Allison has a slightly overweight but very lovable tabby cat named Neville. Neville was a stray cat that hung around the house one too many times and was eventually taken in by Allison, despite her parents' protests.

A huge fan of Top 40 music, it's never a surprise to hear her blasting the radio and find her dancing around to the pop songs. She attended Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift's shows when they had been in the area and danced among the teenage girls with no shame.

She is a selfie queen - usually tasked with holding the camera in group pictures and finding the right angle. She prides herself on being able to take pictures without a selfie stick.

Allison is possibly the least serious person you might ever meet. She's always laughing, always cracking a joke. It makes it hard to take anything seriously and led to her mother seriously scolding her because she couldn't stop giggling at her nana's funeral when she was 19. It didn't mean that she wasn't sad or hurt but she has taken humor to be a sort of coping mechanism for her to cover up how she really feels about things.

biography

When Christopher and Margaret O'Leary decided they wanted to become parents there was never any doubt in their mind that they would only be having one child. As a teacher and a nurse they knew that any more than one child would stretch their finances beyond what they thought they could handle. So after a lot of planning and timelines Allison Claire O'Leary was born on a crisp day in January and her parents couldn't be happier. She was a quiet child who gave no indication to what a loud ass she would eventually become. With no siblings she got all of her parents time and attention and rarely had to share her toys. She was spoiled in a sense but her parents did say no when necessary and made sure she was exposed to other children for the sake of her social development. One of these children was another girl from her neighborhood and neither set of parents could have predicted just how attached the two would become. It was at her house that Allison found out what a household with more than one kid was like and it was both strange and amazing to her. She spent more time their just staring in awe at the dynamics of a huge family.

Allison had no big issues with school other than the education portion being fairly boring for her. She did her studying, passed her tests and any of her teachers would have told anyone that asked what an excellent student she was. The effort she put into her classes however was actually pretty minimal, doing the bare minimum in order to maintain mostly A's & B's so her parents would stay off her back and so that she was able to keep in all her activities. Dance and cheerleading were her two biggest ones and she loved doing both of them, loved the level of popularity that came along with cheerleading because there really was never a party that she wasn't invited to long with her friends.

On the weekends she did what she loved the most; baking. It started as a hobby when she was much, much younger and would watch cooking shows late at night with her mother. Even as a young kid she would copy down recipes to the best of her ability and try to recreate them for her parents. Her parents to their credit always made sure to taste test for her despite most of her early creations being barely edible. She honed her craft throughout the years and turned her focus to baking and it was in high school that she started getting commissioned for baked goods through her parents friends and acquaintances. She didn't known then that she was going to make a career out of it but she enjoyed the baking and more than anything enjoyed the spare cash she was getting from it.

College was much like high school for Allison. No big issues and she graduated with a degree to make her parents happy. She didn't know it when she started but deciding to major in business would end up being the best thing she could have ever done. Throughout college she continued to bake for various events, becoming more and more sought after with her baked goods. She was an expert in adjusting her recipes for any sort of dietary restriction and because of this she was able to bake for a wide variety of people and get her name out to different places. Once she graduated she knew that her next step would be opening a bakery of her very own. Of course this was something that would take time and money which is what led her to live at home, a place where her mother still let her add items to their grocery list that she would use for baking. It was the perfect place to be until she decided to take the next step towards actually being an adult.
