How do you guys feel about this game? I thought that black played decently, especially because it was against Alice Lee.

You played this game resiliently and in a tactically creative manner (two qualities that are very useful when playing the King's Indian Defence), but I feel that you were to some degree intimidated by the fact that you were playing against Alice Lee. I was hoping for a fierce attack against White's kingside.

Is black unrated? Was this her first tournament?

I think black played decently but should have resigned long before the end.

This was my first FIDE tournament. And on chess.com it shows FIDE ratings.

Thank you. I appreciate the advice.

While the game should have stopped at move 50, you did have fair chances to split the point before that against a very strong opponent. While it's a bit harsh to label 28.Nb5 as a blunder, it allowed you to fight back and get a good position, which needed a couple of accurate moves to pay off.
