Appearance:
YOUR CURVES , Alex’s body isn’t that of a models, or a two hundred pound woman. The model category doesn’t fit because she definitely isn’t anorexic. The obese woman category doesn’t fit either because, though she does eat like she would be fat, her metabolism is fast enough to be thankful for. Having been in sports for three-fourths of the seventeen years she’s been alive, Alex has had an athletic figure. Her build is something she takes pride in and cares a lot about. The one draw back of her body is her ankles and her knees. Her knees are weak because of the trait her dad gave to her. Some time when she’s in college, her doctor said that she’ll have to have replacement knee surgery. Her ankles on the other hand do not have anything wrong with them except for the fact that they constantly snap whenever she walks. She thinks it’s because when she walks she always tends to point her feet inward which is very bad for her posture.

CALIFORNIA NATURAL , Alex was born and raised in California. She’s got the tan, she smell of the ocean embedded into the cloth of her clothes, and the wind blown hair that could only be caused by endless hours at the beach. If you stayed in California long enough, your tan would never be fake. It makes sense since the sun is beating down on you constantly if you go outside enough. Alex also takes care of her skin by using the best moisturizer to her, Dove. Her chest and arms are dotted with little freckles every here and there. Every body on her dad’s side had a small trace of freckles so she wasn’t surprised that she has them.

FACE THE MUSIC , Let’s start off with her warming smile. You’ll hardly see her without it since she’s almost always in a fantastic mood. She might not have the whitest teeth or even the most perfect teeth, but individuals always comment her on her “dazzeling” smile. Her nose is something she’s always disliked deeply about herself ever since she knew how to put herself down. Her mother gave her the bird beak and she’s never let her live it down. Her eyes are something to be noted, but they’re not amazing. They’re normally just a shade of dark brown unless she gets into the light and you’ll notice tones of green and light brown. The brown from her father and green from her mother.

TRESEMME OOH LALA , Her hair is her second prized possession. She dyes it regularly to keep that shiny shade of auburn with tones of light brown. She likes to keep her hair to just above mid-back length. Her bangs are side parted and fall in wisps on her forehead. Naturally her hair is straight with little waves toward her ends. Usually she likes to keep it it pin straight except for her bangs. But at times, if she’s in the mood, she’ll loosely curl her hair so give it a little bounce.

Personality:
quirky and never conventional , People have considered Alex out-of-the-ordinary and she doesn’t care. She doesn’t accept trying to meet other individuals/societies definition of life or a teenager. She’s herself and she doesn’t try impressing anybody else but herself. Her good grades and smarts are for herself. She knows that she didn’t get her quirky personality from her mom or dad since they are both stiffs, she believes she got it from her older brother. Ever since she was in middle school she’s always known just how to cheer people up and make their problems minimize.

despicable but not unbearable , Everyone has their mean, pushy sides. The sides that in a matter of seconds you could be at the point of punching someone in the face. Alex has those days. They come when needed and they aren’t just out of no where. Though it doesn’t take a lot to make Alex angry, you’ll know when she is. There won’t be that wonderful smile, and she’ll start cracking her knuckles. When she was younger she used to have a big problem with knuckle cracking, but now it’s only every now and then. Alex can kick in a good slap, but she’s not so much a physical person when it comes to fighting. Bitching someone out is what she’s naturally good at. Lord knows she’s fought with her brother and sister more times than she could count on her fingers and toes.

intelligent but rarely stupid , Stupidity has a wide definition. You could be stupid with anything, friends, boyfriends, drinking, partying, etc. Stupidity doesn’t just apply to intelligence, though this is the main focus. Alex is very smart for her age. She’s ambitious and will get where she wants to go in life. Being a nurse or a painter has been her dream since she was in eighth grade. Being on the A and B honor roll her whole high school experience helps her know that she’s going to make it big. She doesn’t slack off when it comes to her school work.

History:
Everybody’s memories start somewhere. It’s usually something tragic that happens in your younger years, or maybe it was a time that you were so happy you could barely breathe. Whatever it is, you’ll always remember that first memory and no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to go back any further in your life. For Alexandra, her first memory is of her first day of kindergarten. Her mom dropping her off at her elementary school because her dad was working and her older brother was already in school. She remembered crying into her mothers leg as she was leaving the classroom. What a wonderful first memory.

Then again, that’s just one memory that started a million of them. Over the years she’s had memories that have been based around Valkyrie and the many places in America and over the seas. The memories of being with her mom and of her little sisters birthday party when she turned five. The memory of her brothers graduation and the last time her dad hugged her with meaning. We always have good things happen to us, but we remember the bad before the good. We’re always pessimistic in the back of our minds. But that’s the way it goes.

Alexandra was born in room 308 in Valkyrie Hospital. Every now and then she’ll still take out the photo album from her closet and take a look at the pictures of her from that very day till she was five years old. Those times are the best for any child as long as you were treated well. Being care free is what life was all about back then, and learning how to talk, walk, and get potty trained. Other than that it was just love, love, love. The spankings on the butt every now and then were just reminders to do what you were told.

Out of the thousand or so pictures in her photo album, Alexandra will always stare at the ones of her and her father for the longest. There is one family portrait of her brother, sister, herself, her mother and father, above the fireplace in her living room. Everybody comments on how beautiful and elegant it is, but that day was two days after she turned seven years old, and it was not a happy day. The smiles were fake because her family was falling downhill and everybody in the picture pushed it aside for the ten minutes it took to poke and say cheese. After that portrait, Alexandra’s mother and father talked more and more when her and her siblings went to sleep, or in whispers. At night was the worst because they weren’t whispers. Sometimes there would be crying, but in the morning it was fine. Her mother would have a smile on her face and her father would go back to his sweet talking and being the father that his father never was to him. When she turned nine, those talks never happened anymore and her father started sleeping in his study. This only lasted a few months, but it was enough to shatter Alex. In those few months Alex’s birthday happened and that was the last time her father hugged her genuinely. She had no idea it would be.

When she started into double digits with her age, her parents were still sleeping together, their marriage was still going, but yet she knew that there wasn’t any love in the kisses they shared or when they held hands. But that was the least of her problems now. Trying to keep her grades up and keeping herself in tune with her friends was what she lived for now. Sleepovers, shopping, and dating were now the replacement of worrying about her parents relationship and trying to get her dad to show her the affection she needed. Being a thirteen year old took care of all that.

Getting into high school was nothing like being in middle school. The drama hit you ten times faster and grades were much more important. Ninth and tenth grade nothing much happened to Alex. She was never close to the Elite, but she was close enough that in her Junior year she started dating Reed Turner. She knew that he was recognized as being a ladies man, but when she started actually falling for him, she didn’t care about his reputation. They had their up’s and down’s like every relationship Alex has ever known. Then Ashley Adams became really close to Reed. Even though they had only been together for two months, Alex figured that nothing would happen between Reed and Ashley because she at least thought he cared for her. Obviously not because one night he came over to her house and they had a four hour conversation about how he kissed Ashley and where their relationship was.

That three hour conversation would be the last civilized one she had with Reed for quite awhile. After being hurt by the deception, it didn’t make matters worse that in little than no time Reed and Ashley got married. Married. Alex thought that she wouldn’t be able to handle not being able to talk to Reed like she wanted to, but after his marriage, she knew she wouldn’t be talking to him for a long time. As for Ashley, it was a givin’ that she wouldn’t be conversing with the home wrecking whore in a friendly tone, ever again.

After that whole mess was said and done with and she had pushed the majority of the situation out of her head, Alex was stunned, yet extremely happy, to find out about Reed and Ashley not being together. Yet Ashley started dating James Costello and we’ll just say that Alex had slight feelings for the committed, ambitious shy guy. Sure they can be complete opposites, but Alex found out that they had more in common that she thought she would with him. She wasn’t as disappointed as she had been about Reed though because Ashley and James had dated before. She heard that the relationship ended when he moved to Florida. All of the relationships she’s ever been around have always been messed up.

Needless to say, her Junior year was the most heart wrenching part of her high school experience. But it happens to everybody in high school unless you’re sheltered. Though it would have helped her in the short run, she’s glad her parents didn’t shelter her. Her father could have contributed more to her life because then she probably wouldn’t drop the L bomb too quickly, or fall for some guy on a whim. She still knows that she loves Reed no matter what his relationship status ends up being with or without Ashley Adams. High school is always a blast.
