Alyssa Croft

Alyssa Everly Croft is the daughter of the infamous Eastbourne city investors Robert and Valerie Croft. For the first 17 years of her life, Alyssa lived as a socialite; attending galas, red carpet events and photoshoots. Alongside her friendship group, Alyssa rebelled against her parents' business persona and instead filled her time with partying and dubious activities at the other end of town. Little did they know, the people they were mixing were malicious, leaving them naïve to the amount of danger they were putting themselves in.

Early Life
Alyssa Everly Croft was born to Robert and Valerie Croft on the 23rd November 2001, making her 17 at the start of the first book.

Robert and Valerie moved to the industrial town of Eastbourne in 1998 with the motive to transform the collapsing city into a bustling, economic power; rivalling with the capital city. Alongside the parents of Belle, Cece, George and Kai, they succeeded in modernising the run-down area while building an infamous name for themselves. This workaholic nature of the parents left Alyssa to be brought up by nannies and allowed for the freedom to do her rebellious activities without questioning.

Valerie Croft (née Wilson) was the chief executive of the hospital, while Robert Croft was described as "the best lawyer in all of Eastbourne". Due to this, it was expected of Alyssa to follow either the route of law or medicine, hence why she studied Psychology, History and Biology at A-level. It is also mentioned that she had countless tutors and so she was able to get into Eastbourne Grammar, though it is implied that she would have got into the school whether or not she had passed the compulsory entry test into the private school. Nonetheless, she is insinuated to be highly educated.
