Personality:
If we are to put it simply, Alicia Izumi is a no-nonsense woman. Both in dueling and in the classroom, Izumi is a strong and demanding figure, more than capable of raising her opinions (and her voice) without any fear of authority or repercussion. This character trait makes her quite a strict and effective teacher, consistently able to prove that she doesn't take anything from these '20-something year old piss-ants'.
Oh, and this isn't a mask that she raised to students or people she doesn't know that well: her personal friends and her relatives know that Izumi has no concept of tact: her smiles are wicked, her jokes are dry and usually malicious, and she takes great joy in what she does in her rather interesting field of teaching.
And one more thing? She can throw things.
Accurately.
Into foreheads.
History:
So, what makes Alicia Izumi the way she is?
Well, let's start with the basics. Izumi was born in Domino City to a rather averagely-off family: strong enough that she wasn't really struggling for anything, but the world wasn't handed to her on a silver platter, either. With her parents often out of town to keep food on the table, she had a rather unsupervised childhood, and thus hung with a rather tough crowd during grade-school... well, as tough as a crowd of duelists could be. She took an early interest in the game, and managed to catch the eyes of a few recruiters who took note of her rather 'expressive' dueling. Thus, she was off to the Academy...
... Of which she nearly immediately dropped out of, once she got the gist of it. See, Alicia wasn't the most moral of people at that age, and thus was into the darker side of dueling. She became known in the underground circuit as a rather skillful shark, able to rake in a lot of money off of ex-professional duelists who fell into this rink. For a lot of her early 20s, this was enough for her. That was, until stories came of a rather interesting duelist who had this habit of knocking out her other victims: some nondescript, old crazy guy with thick glasses, as it turned out.
Yes, Izumi was targeted by this duelist: a rather strange but capable duelist, three times Mind Crushing Izumi's hand blindly of key cards, turning a 'stomp' into a rather close grind game. Near the end, Izumi caught sight of something on the corner of her eye, as she saw the single card needed to win the duel across this blank field:
Black Dragon Collapserpent.
Upon his defeat, the other duelists returned to their senses, and Izumi looked into this fact, finding out that it was a sort of magic. Armed with this knowledge and with a strong (though questionable) dueling career, managed to land a career at the college, called 'Dueling in Self Defense'.
And thus the teaching tyrant was born.
