==Development==
Alexis first started out as something completely different. She was first created by Pianoteen in the year of 2010. Nothing really inspired him to create her.
At first, Alexis started out as a hedgefox named Alexa. She also used to be voiced by Ashley Tisdale. Her color scheme was a darker color; brownish-reddish perspective. Also, she had dark red eye shadow. Her ears were much shorter and her bangs as well. She also wore a short blue top and light blue skirt. She also wore no sneakers.
Later on, her look was completely redesigned to make her outfit fitting more of her nature. Also,her name was finalized as "Alexis the Fox" and her voice actor changed to Skylar Grey/Holly Haffermann. Pianoteen liked this design so much, he kept it on her for two seasons. In the third season, Pianoteen created a new outfit for Alexis for the winter.
As her previous appearance, her design was created by xXSagaWolfRiderXx on deviantART. A few changes were then made and her look was finalized. Her last name was revealed to be Petals, which was based of of her flower abilities.
During Darkest Shadow's annual redesign contest, he found two of the entries to be well enough to be her design. Her new design for 2015 was designed by Lucarito-Lucario on deviantart. She has added one extra bang to her trademark hairstyle.
In 2016, Alexis was stripped of her ice/snow power to balance out her abilities, and also strengthen her current nature power.

She attended the Mariala County Academy; an audition-based boarding school for students with special talents. She was in Room 209, sharing a dorm room with her best friend, Christina. When she was on winter/spring break, or summer vacation, she likes to head back to her old house to see her family and other friends. She graduated in 2016, and immediately started to prepare for her first world tour.
Since day one, Alexis is currently working on her dream of becoming a pop sensation. She started at age eleven, when she started to take an interest in songwriting and wanted to turn her dream into a reality. Currently, she works at many recording labels to make her songs and albums, but she normally records her songs at Replay Records. She loves the supportive people around her like her manager, mixers, masters, vocal editors, backup singers and everything else.

Alexis is kindhearted and serious. She also has the guts to stick up to her friends when they get bullied or are in danger, no matter how tough the person may be. She seems to sometimes tend to be a bit overconfident when she is about to go on stage in front of thousands of people. She can also be scared and very emotional if her friends are about to go through something serious.
At some points like when Christina creates a new dress, outfit or even a clothing line for her, Alexis is very grateful and she perfectly displays that behavior whenever something good for her happens. She always likes to cheer on her friends whenever they are doing an event, like Michelle's wrestling matches or Christina's beauty pageants. When she dates someone, she shows great maturity and judges a person by their heart, not their looks, because she thinks some handsome boys can be real jerks.

She might feel a bit upset if she loses fans and could go berserk if she loses a lot of fans and everybody just stops talking to her.
Alexis also has a huge love for shopping. She loves going to the Mariala City mall and buying things.

Her voice is very strong acrobatic, able to sing various types of vocal runs and riffs with power, vibrato and elegance. She's 95% of the time on key in her live concerts.

==Abilities and Powers==
=== Nature Manipulation ===
(Or "Chlorokinesis") This is Alexis's strong point. Her mother happened to be a florokinetic master, and taught Alexis at a young age. As she grew older, her powers became only stronger. She seems to be extremely good at controlling petals, flowers, and seeds. Everything else is pretty good as well, but those three are the traits that make her ability stand out.
When she controls petals and flowers, she could make flowers appear from underground. Some flowers can cause poison or sleep. This gives her a good advantage. She can even grow a whole flower garden, take the petals from them, and turn them razor sharp for an attack. Her flowers are more for show. Her seeds, can also be used to leech the opponent and drain their energy.
Flowers aren't her only strong point, however. In her years of training her power, she has learned new branches of chlorokinesis, like manipulating plant life, vines, leaves, wood, and grass!
