I figured I needed to place faces with names so you could see them as I saw them =]  I must note, that the woman who I base Alisan off, is a real Alisan - Alisan Porter, to be exact - she's an actress (Curly Sue!) and also a musician, one of her songs of which this story is based (The End Song).  You should check her out on youtube.com (she does a mean Janis Joplin cover) or on myspace (thealisanporterproject).  She is also on broadway, and I'm basically in love with her voice at the moment, haha.
