Ally Malet

Alison 'Ally' Malet is an agent of the Department of Floaters. She is written by Astral Void.

Appearance
Ally is about 5'11" and very thin, though she is still quite muscular. Her hair is long, red, and usually in a braid. Her eyes are dark brown and usually described as 'slightly mad'. She has a large number of old scars, mostly on her arms, face, and legs. She is quite pretty, but her eyes tend to detract from it somewhat.

Personality
On the outside, Ally appears to be kind, friendly, curious, and helpful. On the inside, however, she's a seething ball of insane, cynical rage. While she spent a lot of time in FicPsych, the results have been mixed&mdash;now she's analytical and strangely calm even in horrible badfics, choosing to reserve her rage for fics that deserve them. As a result of growing up in Panem and being a tribute, she is both a cynic and a pessimist who refuses to believe in idealism, true love or 'happily ever after', dismissing them as the fantasies of children. She also finds it slightly hard to form emotional attachments, whether it's to canons she likes or people she knows (though she has a very strong hatred of her home continuum). Despite this, she is trying to work through her problems and overcome them with the help of FicPsych.

After growing up in a place deprived of culture, she has a strong interest in art, music, games, and literature that her partner is encouraging. She finds it fascinating, and should not be left around a computer with access to the Internet without supervision and a time limit.

Ally is rather unique among agents as she is one of the only people to genuinely like the PPC. Most of her like comes from the fact that the PPC is much better than Panem (well, so is almost everything else), but in addition, it was the PPC who rescued her from her home fic, gave her a new life and lets her kill Sues.

Agent History
Ally began life as 'Mira Forrest', the girl tribute from District Seven in a Hunger Games fic of the 'pick a number and write the Games for it' variety. She joined forces with the protagonist, a Marty Stu, who let her do the work while coasting by on his luck. He encouraged her to fall in love with him and seduced her, and once it was down to the two of them, broke her heart so she wouldn't fight back... at which point the PPC stepped in, killing the Stu and rescuing Mira, who they recruited. Unfortunately, the combination of the extreme stress and trauma of the Hunger Games, the Stu's betrayal and the Stu being executed in front of her sent Mira insane. Once she'd changed her name and got out of FicPsych, she was made an Intern, and spent several weeks studying various canons while waiting for the SO to finally get around to assigning her to an agent pair. Eventually, by the time he did, the Floating Hyacinth had asked him if he had a spare agent for a new transfer. The SO agreed to transfer Ally, who was only too happy to agree.

With Grace, she is the joint owner of a mini-Woundwort called 'the Thereah'.
