Alyssa

Alyssa’s understanding of the mind and how it works makes it difficult for people to get along with. She doesn’t understand the emotional aspect of things the way other people do and she comes off as if she thinks she’s the smartest person in the room. The difference here is that she us the smartest person in the room.

when she corrects you, it’s not because she needs to be right, but because she needs to inform you of anything that may be incorrect in your understanding of the subject. Her intent is good, but her lack of tact expresses otherwise.

This makes her ability to alter human perception and change a person’s overall way of thinking an extremely tempting resource to reach her goal - A temptation that she knows she would never be able to come back from if she decided to give-in and start using mind-control to make people do whatever she wanted.
