This is Allison Catherine Steele, better known to her firends as Alley Cat, or just Alley. She's close to six feet tall, and just a hair over two hundred pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She's a tomboy, preferring jeans and boots to dresses and heels. She's fairly strong (she splits wood for some of the older residents in the winter) and she runs every morning.

She spent most of her life in Lovelnad Colorado. She graduated from Colorado State University's Wildlife/Forestry program and sent an application to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) hoping for a job as a park ranger in one of Colorado's many state or national parks/forests. What she got as her choices were an offer to be a desk jockey in Denver or a game warden job at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona. Since she thoroughly detests big cities, she saddled up the Jeep and headed for Arizona. She's been there for nearly six months, and although she positivly hated it for the first month, the stark beauty of the empty desert has started to grow on her.

Personality wise, Alley is friendly and amiable, if a bit cynical. She's got a slightly warped sense of humor. She won't hate a person unless given a good reason to. She always tries hard, and hates to loose. She's loyal, courageous, and kind. Her only problems are her explosive temper and her lack of patience, which often frightens people away.

She lives in a small, one bedroom cabin outside of town with her Great Dane and her cat. She is an animal lover, and has been known to take in the occasional injured or orphaned critter.
