Allison was born at Argos Hospital on 15 February 1986, to David and Alexandra Halloway. She was born with a caul covering her face; her mother asked that the caul be saved, and the dried remnants were placed into a small heart-shaped vial necklace.

Alli was a bright child, known for being particularly talented in languages. She published a few poems in high school, and worked in a local coffee shop through high school and college. She graduated fifth in her high school class, and continued on to Argos University as an English Lit major. It was here, in her first year of classes, that she met Michael Smith.

The two were fast friends, going out for coffee and laughing at random stupidity they'd seen through the day. The two were in the middle of the Mansion when it came out that they had feelings for each other.

This would come in handy during their next adventure. While Mike was destroying a metal golem for the queen of the crocspiders, Alli was the crocspiders' meal. Mike found her encased in spider silk, and worked swiftly to free her, finding her bleeding from various bites.

She became ill overnight, either due to poison or blood loss; either way, the two barely made it out before she died. Had Michael stayed to fight Samael like he wanted to, she certainly would have expired. As they passed the reforming old man, Alli sat up in Mike's arms and shrieked unintelligibly. As she was passing out in the passenger seat of her car, she murmured a name: Maman Brigitte.

She awoke a week later in the hospital during an outbreak of epic proportions. Jacob Valentine, Jenette Williams, and Sabastien Dugas had taken over the hospital, and quickly infected patients with a strain of DNA to turn them into la chasseurs. She met up with Mike, and discovered that she was being ridden - possessed, in other words - by Maman Brigitte. This made her brown eyes glow with a supernatural purple light, intensifying when being actively ridden.

She and Mike fought their way out, then went to the police. They got laughed out of the station.

A few months later, the two were on a picnic in Damesi Park when approached by Jenette. Mike and she packed up quickly, returning home. Alli, however, ran out for a quick trip to the grocery store, and Mike fell into a deep, supernatural sleep. She was kidnapped while he was out cold.

After a bit of running around, Mike found her in The Pierce Highway Hotel being guarded by Sabastien. After a fight with Sabastien and a clockwork man, Mike rescued her in a stolen car. The pair ditched the vehicle, and returned to their apartment.
