==Biography==
=== Early Life ===
Lexi was born to Gus and Suze Howard and grew up alongside her sister Cassie. Even though her childhood was similar to Cassie's, Cassie was often favoured by their parents over her. She always witnessed many of Gus and Suze's huge arguments and whenever it seemed she wanted to do something about it based on the look in her face, she backed down at the last minute. At the time of pre-school, she met and became best friends with Rue Bennett, considering her this even to the actual day. However, the two eventually grew apart after Rue's drug addiction started escalating. Lexi tried to get Rue to stop this, only to be brushed off. She was later told by her mother that Rue overdosed. For this, Lexi felt guilty for her part in it and thought that if not for her constant inaction, things could have been different. The night their father came back to their house (one last time), Lexi witnessed him being allowed in by Cassie and stealing their fine china.
=== Season 1 ===
When Rue came home late, her angered mother Leslie demanded that she be drug-tested. Rue goes over to the Howards' house to ask Lexi for her pee and pass the sobriety test. She did not attend Chris McKay's party, but she found out about the details through Cassie. During the first day of school, Rue is asked to go up the stage and narrate a five-minute story about her summer vacations. However, Rue can't bring herself to do given her constant drug abuse. Lexi defends Rue when two classmates make fun of her, causing Rue to leave. She goes to the restroom but is forced to flush her stash when Lexi arrives to check on her, but is met by harsh words from Rue, who tells her she doesn't need to be stood up for. Lexi says it's because she considers Rue her best friend, which Rue angrily brushes off.
Days later, as Rue starts progressing in getting sober, she texts Lexi, apologizing to her for being a bad friend and invites her to roll skate, alongside her new friend, Jules Vaughn, where they have fun and spend quality of time together. Lexi tells Jules that Rue is getting better because of her, leaving Jules apalled. Lexi also starts getting somewhat jealous when Rue's sister Gia confides in her that she thinks Rue is in love with Jules, but doesn't tell Rue about it. 
She is present at the Halloween party, dressed up as the painter Bob Ross, but Rue and the other girls make fun of her, except for McKay, who is looking for Cassie. Lexi tries to cover for her when she cheats on McKay with Daniel, Kat's childhood ex-sweetheart. Lexi even helps Rue scare Troy, one of McKay's brothers, into being a gentleman to Gia when they see them doing drugs together, clearly mirroring Rue's own issues with drug addiction, and then ultimately Lexi comforting Rue after calling herself a "burden" after she saw Jules acting strangely while drunk, before they witness Nate, who has framed Tyler for sexual assault (and blackmailed Jules into testifying against him as a witness), and Maddy arriving at the party, with Rue noticing Jules' shocked reaction. In a manic state, Rue imagines that she and Lexi act as detectives trying to find out what exactly went on between Nate and Jules. 
In the aftermath of the Halloween party, Cassie asked Lexi if she looked different to her, clusmily trying to ask if she looks pregnant. Lexi replies that she looks the same to her and wonders if it's because of Daniel. Cassie angrily says "no" and the two sisters get into an argument, with a frustrated Lexi pointing out that Cassie looking beautiful is all she ever gets from anyone she knows. Cassie later gathers all the girls and Lexi, telling them she's going to confess to McKay about Daniel. Maddy warns her not to while Lexi tells Cassie not to say anything.
For the winter formal, Lexi shows off her outfit and receives warm compliments from her mother and gets a lift to the school from Maddy. After drinking alcohol, she and Cassie have an affectionate conversation about what to do if she wants to hook up with someone, Cassie telling her to do it with whoever she wants. Lexi says she will but it's never seen. She also cheers loudly for Kat after she starts a relationship with Ethan.
