Appearance (1-2 Paragraphs): Alex has long, straight, shiny dark brown hair, eyes that hover somewhere between blue and green, and skin that is creamy and pale. She is a bit on the short side, willowy, though graceful. Her time in the Night Court is evident to those who know of the beauty and grace found there, though she has long been away from the training to be found there.
Personality (1-2 Paragraphs): Alex has a very strong personality, which is part of why she did not do well in the Night Court. She is extremely smart, perhaps not book smart, but perceptive and able to survive with her wits. She can be stubborn, but if one takes the time to show her with logic why her position might not be correct, she is willing to admit when she is wrong and choose another course. She is sometimes quick to temper, but calms quickly. She has a great sense of humor, though it can sometimes be dark. She can see the humor in most every situation, even ones that are not really humorous.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs): Alex was born to a soldier in the Queen's army and a camp follower, Vania de Voire, who never even bothered to learn the soldier's name. Why she had lit her candle was unclear, but for whatever reason, she had and thus Alexandryne was conceived. When the soldier left, Vania could not find him again, and thus saddled with a babe, she found that it was hard to make ends meet and even harder to find a man who was interested in an unmarried peasant with a child. She traveled to the City of Elua to try to find her soldier, with no luck. While there, her beautiful babe caught the eye of a Jasmine adept, who saw Vania's hardship and offered her a way out.
And so Alex was sold into the Night Court, to Jasmine House, as a mere child of two years. She was raised in Jasmine until the age of ten, when the spiced candy was offered and she found she understood easily the appeal of it. She was transferred to Valerian House, where she began to learn the ways of pleasure and pain. She was an apt pupil, save for one thing - it bothered her to no end to be "owned." She rebelled against it, against the entire system of what she termed "the basest slavery" and two years before her debut, she left Valerian once and for all.
She also had something against selling her body for coin, so she lived on the streets, begging for scraps and stealing food from the market. She managed to carve out a niche for herself selling flowers at the market, though of course the flowers were pilfered. For two years she has survived on the streets of Night's Doorstep, sleeping in alleys or sometimes an inn when she can strike a bargain for food and board. Rather than becoming hardened, she has tried to find time to better herself, though when one has to spend every spare moment trying to find food and shelter, it has been a struggle.
She has considered trying to find her mother, but all she has to go on is a name, and no money for searching. Through it all, she maintains hope - hope that she can still have a future, hope that she can stay one step ahead of Valerian House, who are not happy about losing the return on their investment. Deep down, she believes in a better future, and she is determined to find it.
