Alice's early history is very vague, as she remembers nothing of her human life and woke up alone as a vampire. It is eventually revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi and was kept in an asylum because she had premonitions, which intensified into her "special ability" when she was changed into a vampire. While at the asylum she was always kept in a dark cell, which is another reason why she remembered so little. Alice was changed by a vampire who worked at the asylum, in order to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. She and Bella are the only two people to ever escape James. She later had a vision of her and Jasper with the Cullen family. In pursuit of this vision, she found Jasper and the two moved themselves into the Cullens' house. After doing some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matched the date of her admission to the asylum (she had stolen her file from their records), perhaps implying that she was "dead" to her family when they confined her there. Through her research she additionally discovered that she had a little sister named Cynthia Brandon, and that Cynthia's daughter, Alice's niece, is still alive in Biloxi. One of Alice's vampire powers in seeing the future.
Chapter 1 The Wedding
"Nessie!" Bella called. I quickly slipped on my faded blue jeans, a bright pink tang top, and some flip flops, knowing this was the only time I would be able to wear them. I dashed to the bathroom to take a shower, but before I got in, I smelled smoke. "Oh no." I muttered, then scurried to the kitchen, where my soon-to-be husband was standing behind the counter, holding burnt cereal, although I have no clue how he could burn cereal. "Jacob!" I playfully teased him. "I leave you alone for a night, and you burn my breakfast!" "Hey! At least I didn't burn the HOUSE down." he teased back. I ran to Alice's room to get ready for the wedding

When the Cullens leave in New Moon, Alice doesn't say goodbye to Bella in order to make a clean break. She later comes back because she thinks that Bella has committed suicide, but in reality, Bella was just cliff diving. She tells Bella what the Cullens have been up to and finds out how hard it was for Bella when they all left her. When Jacob Black tells Edward (thinking that he was Carlisle talking to him on the phone) that Charlie is "at the funeral", Edward thinks he meant Bella's funeral, though he was actually referring to Harry Clearwater's. Alice sees this and she helps Bella get to Volterra, Italy to stop Edward from exposing himself to the world and being killed by the Volturi. She later votes in favor of Bella becoming a vampire. Carlisle is the one chosen to change Bella, because Alice decides that she can't. Bella is trying to get Edward to change her, but Edward disapproves.
