Alison Moore

Alison Moore is the protagonist of the first Goosebumps Series 2000 book, Cry of the Cat.

History
Allison and her friend, Ryan, are set to star in a school play entitled The Princess and the Jewell Thief. While on her way to practice, a cat cuts in front of her bike. Alison tries to stop, but it is too late. Her bike crashes into the cat, and she sees its head fly off. Horrified, Allison goes to check on it, but discovers its head still intact. However, the cat still appears lifeless. Alison desperately searches for the cat's owner, and is led to a creepy-looking old house.

Waiting for Alison inside is a little girl by the name of Crystal. Upon seeing the dead cat, she is hysteric and cries out that her mother will not be happy. Just as she does, the cat, who is named Rip, springs back to life. Crystal warns Alison that Rip is not a normal cat, and that she should not have messed with him.

After her talk with Crystal, Alison begins to see Rip everywhere, even during rehearsal for the play. Each encounter leads to Rip being killed in a different way, but the cat always seems to come back. Eventually, Rip scratches Alison, and she begins to exhibit cat-like behavior. Crystal's mother tells Alison that Rip can only be killed if all of his nine lives are used up. Alison is able to successfully lure Rip into a trap and kill him. At the end of the book, it is revealed that Alison is still part cat.

Personality
Alison appears to love acting, and seems to be very resourceful when facing off against Rip.

Physical appearance
the book describes Alison as having straight black hair, with round olive-green eyes.
