Alyson Malitski

Alyson Malitski is the typical girl-next-door-type. She had been a friend of Nina's for a long time. Alyson's firefighter father had once rescued Connor MacKenzie from a fire at LifeCycles, one of the most popular places in Elkford, and she instantly took a liking to him, and the feeling became mutual.

Alyson is never actually cruel or mean. She just does whatever Nina tells her to do because like a lot of teenagers Alyson just wants to fit in and be noticed. As her friendship with Nina ended, Alyson become Connor's girlfriend and ultimately friends with Sharon Spitz and Maria Wong, who were a little hesitant at first about befriending her. She was seen with them and Connor almost all the time from then on as Connor's girlfriend.

Alyson is extremely feminine, bubbly, and a little simple-minded, but she is a very caring and nice person, friend and girlfriend. Alyson is a fan of "The Beatles". Alyson also wants to begin a rock-band, and her back-up plan is to be a heart surgeon. Sometimes people think Alyson is shallow because she says "totally" a lot, but after getting to know her true self, Sharon, Maria, Connor and everyone else knows there's a whole lot more to Alyson then meets the eye.
