Sizzle's real name is Alice, but Izzle needs Alice's life to revolve around his so he renames her Sizzle to reflect his own. Their adventures in New York are always overshadowed by their strange, twisted relationship in which Izzle treats Sizzle like his slave. What we eventually find out is that Izzle needs someone just as bad, maybe even more, to block out his own realization that he has lost his own way.
