[edit] About
Alicia Rivera is a member of the The Pretty Committee (aka The Clique), a group of the most popular, rich and spoiled girls at Octavian Country Day, a private school in Westchester, NY. She is the beta, or second in command in the group, after Massie Block. Despite being number two, Alicia is a leader, and loves to come out on top. In Revenge of the Wannabes, Massie cuts Alicia out of the Pretty Committee because she cheated on the uniform contest with her friend Olivia. Alicia and Olivia try to start their own clique with Alicia as the alpha, but this doesn't work out so Massie takes her back into the Pretty Committee. Alicia is also kicked out of the Pretty Committee in Bratfest at Tiffany's because of the Clique's boyfast, which she dishonored. She has Spanish origins, but Massie accuses her dad, Antonio "Len" Rivera, of really being from Brooklyn. Massie also claims his real name is Rivers, but he took on the name Rivera so Alicia's grandparents would give her dad the blessing for her parent's marriage. Alicia doesn't know enough Spanish to converse with her relatives in Spain; Claire has to translate for her in Invasion of the Boy Snatchers. Alicia is an only child.
Alicia is very wealthy, like most of the other Clique girls. She also has Spanish cousins, including Celia and Nina Callas. Nina visits Alicia in Invasion of the Boy Snatchers. Many boys think that Alicia is more beautiful than Massie Block (mainly because of her 'C' cup boobs). Her best friends are Massie Block, Dylan Marvil, Kristen Gregory, and Claire Lyons, the other main characters in The Clique Series. There has been a lot of confusion as to how Alicia's name is pronounced. It is pronounced "ah-lee-theeuh", and her friends sometimes call her Leesh.
[edit] Looks, Personality & Reputation
She is known as the most beautiful girl at OCD and also reads announcements over the P.A. system. Boys at Briarwood Academy (OCD's brother school) frequently yell, "You're hot!" when she approaches any stage, or when her name is called by a teacher. She is described as a sultry beauty with glossy black hair, a deep Mediterranean tan, big innocent brown eyes, and has large (C-cup) breasts, which she is very self conscious about, but boys adore. In "Revenge of the Wannabes", she is accused of having fake boobs. She is once described as a "hotter version of Penélope Cruz with a better nose." She is exotic and somewhat foreign looking because of her Spanish roots. The Briarwood boys call her and her friend Olivia Ryan "The Twenty" because they are both perfect tens. Her fashion sense is a blend of classic, girly, preppy, and trendy. Alicia loves anything Ralph Lauren. Alicia also totally loves polos. Her favorite is striped, but she also loves plain colors.
Alicia's personality is a mix. She loves to gossip (usually scoring the most gossip points) but is also able to keep a secret. Her sweet personality around adults make her seems innocent, but around boys she can be ato break free flirt (even though she dresses conservatively). Alicia can be clever and cruel, but sometimes she wants nothing of her beta position. In the first four books it seems she would be a decent alpha, but as the books continue, she acts more like a beta. It seems as if she's content, but someday she wants to show the world who she truly is. She is shown wanting to be a reporter or a model but knows a lot about law because her father is a lawyer. Alicia has a good reputation around OCD and Westchester.
[edit] Love Life
Many boys fancy her because of her exoticness. In the third book, Alicia has a crush on Harris Fisher(Cam's older brother), and Cam Fisher gives her Harris' number because she asked Claire out for him. Then when she realizes that Harris isn't into her, she decides to forget that she ever liked him. Later on, her crush is Josh Hotz, an attendee of Briarwood Academy. Josh Hotz was rumoured to be expelled from another private school, Hotchkiss, for pulling the fire alarm before a big test. Josh loves Ralph Lauren, just like Alicia. In Sealed with a Diss they wear the same Polo button-down twice. He is also a member of the Briarwood soccer team.
In Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, Claire kisses Josh (which puts her love life in jeopardy) at the end of the book, and in the next book, The Pretty Committee Strikes Back, it is implied that Josh likes Claire. Alicia then seeks revenge by trying to kiss Cam, Claire's ex-boyfriend. Claire and Alicia make up by the end of the book, though. In Sealed With a Diss, Alicia goes to Skye Hamilton's graduation costume party with Josh, who now likes her. They dressed up as Ralph Lauren and his wife, Ricky. Though Massie has instated a mandatory boy ban for a while, and Alicia decides to follow Massie's order, so she takes off Josh's hat that he gave her and states that she's in. The New Pretty Committee (NPC) is formed. Alicia however, quickly forgets that they hate boys, applauding them when they come in the auditorium. Massie reminds her, however.
In Bratfest at Tiffany's, The Pretty Committee is on a "boyfast" and any girl in NPC seen with a boy will get kicked out of The N(New)P(Pretty)C(Committee). Josh then sneaks into the broadcast room just to see Alicia and she finds out the he wasn't supposed to hang out with her either, but they both like each other and can't help it. Josh then gives her a New York Yankee's hat and promises to make a plan so that they can be together without the NPC, or worse Massie, finding out. Alicia really doesn't want to lose him due to having finally found a guy who likes her for herself and not her boobs. Josh's plan is to take Massie's table(18) and have Alicia join them so they won't be separated. The rest of the NPC gets put in trailers(which Massie later gives a makeover) and she constantly wears Josh's New York Yankee's hat around school because Massie and the rest of the NPC aren't around to see. When Massie see's Alicia wearing Josh's NYY hat on T.V. she gets kicked out of the NPC. In the end of the book, Massie lets Alicia back in the Pretty Committee by saying that if Alicia could get rid of the boys, she would be back in. BOCD was having a pimp my locker competition and the winners would get to go to the Tiffany and Co trailers(which were the overflow trailers that Massie gave a makeover). The only kids who didn't want to be in the trailers were the soccer boys because they thought it would give their team a girly reputation. Alicia announces that the boys (Derrington, Kemp, Josh, Cam, and Plovert) won and contest (due to Alicia) and will be in the Tiffany and Co trailers. Massie then lets Alicia back in the pretty committee and calls off the "boyfast" but Alicia and Josh's relationship status is unclear at this point because Alicia had taken off Josh's NYY hat and thrown it in a bush outside.
