Description

I've never really explained Ali that much.
Ali is an auxiliary nurse at LarkRise. Auxiliary nurses during the 60's were the skivvies, low on the nurse rank. They were the ones to wash and bathe patients, help them use the toilet, cleaning up sick etc.
Not pleasant.
Ali has been in LarkRise for over 12 years now, and has had many a chance to rise up within the ranks. She has just chosen not to. As a normal nurse, all she would do is administer flu jabs and bandage booboo's. She wouldn't see a lot of the kid's at all. However because of her longevity at the house and her strong personality, she is considered the house Matron. Nurses will go to her when unsure what to do and new staff use her as a role model. She is well liked in the house. Only Nurse Carroll looks down on her, not only due to her position but her colour. Little scathing remarks but Ali notes everything. When Ali makes tea, Carroll never gets one. Ali's scorn.
She is married and has 2 children. Her husband is white and she was brought up in a mixed family so doesn't care too much for tradition, only the important ceremonies and such.

Any questions about her for me?
Ali is mine so is art
Btw, whoever guesses what song is in the title is awesome c:
