[/i]true, but it is true to some extent. She does believe feeling strong emotions is petty and is a sign of weakness, but there are a select group of people she cares strongly for.

OVERALL APPEARANCE
LIKES
DISLIKES
STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
-CONTROLLING: Alyssa has an intense need to control the situation at all times. She is not happy unless she is. Many people say that her husband rules NYU, but at home his wife is the ruler. An extremely accurate statement.
-ARROGANT: She believes that she is better than everyone else. She's flaunts her superior intelligence around and acts like she's God's gift to the world. Someday she's going to get kicked off that high horse of hers, but it hasn't happened yet.
-ARGUMENTATIVE: Everything is a debate to her. She's competitive and gets a very exhilarating feeling upon winning a fight. It's gotten to the point where she'll look to begin arguments because she knows she'll win.
-POOR BEDSIDE MANNER: Some people claim that Alyssa doesn't have a maternal bone in her body. Honestly, she really doesn't. She was very loving and maternal when her children were babies, but as they grew older, she lost her touch. [/ul]
PERSONALITY
HISTORY
When Ellen got into Yale, Alyssa swelled with pride. While, she wanted her daughter to attend her alma mater, she knew Yale was a fine choice. A piece of her broke the day Ellen left to move in to her dorm. Her prized daughter had left the nest, leaving her with the other one. Ena's endeavors were never as impressive as Ellen's. When her daughter made the decision to move to Ireland, Alyssa was pleased. However, with no more children left to take care of, she wasn't entirely sure what to do with herself anymore.
She through herself back into her work and excelled. Her husband eventually became the Dean of New York University. She never heard much from her youngest daughter, but she kept in constant contact with Ellen. Before she knew it, her little girl was walking down the aisle, marrying the perfect man for her. Alyssa truly couldn't be happier for her girl. Alyssa was disappointed to hear the couple was staying in Connecticut to live, for she was hoping her daughter would move back to Manhattan. Instead, she and her husband made many trips to the other state to visit the newlyweds.
One day, her daughter came to her in a fit of tears. She told her that she had slept with her husband's brother and then went on to tell her about the problems she was having with her husband. Alyssa was extremely upset at this news. Ellen was supposed to be her crowning jewel, not some flawed stone like Ena. When her daughter told her she was thinking of leaving Gabriel for that other man, Alyssa just about lost it. She told Ellen that such an action would be unacceptable and stain the family name.
She was pleased to find out her words had been headed as her daughter remained married to her husband. However, it wasn't long before the couple divorced. Alyssa learned from her daughter that her husband had been abusive towards her, which caused Alyssa to rethink her prior advice. She took Ellen and her grandchildren in while her daughter worked to get herself back on her feet. For years they lived like that, and Alyssa was happy as a clam. She could make sure Ellen was behaving herself properly this way and possibly pick out a suitable second husband for her daughter.
The bliss did not last for long, soon her daughter was off to a new state. This time, the pathetic Rhode Island. While Alyssa did not approve of her daughter's career change into secondary school teaching, she held her tongue. She's been doing a good job at holding her tongue until she found out her daughter was seeing the other man. Alyssa wanted to jump into her car and drive straight to Rhode Island to knock some sense into her daughter, but her husband stopped her.
When she got the call that Ellen had overdosed on Prozac, Alyssa drew the line there. She was sick of worrying about her daughter like this, and new she needed to take matters into her own hands. She bought herself a nice little house right next door to Ellen and planned to move there. Marcus, finding this to be a ridiculous and disgusting idea, has refused to move in with his wife. Alyssa claims this is only temporary. She knows Ellen will come running back to Manhattan again in no time. [/ul]
