Alexandrite

Alexandrite, also known as Alex, Alex-chan, Alexi and Lex, is a character from the Land of the Lustrous series.
== Charactah Account ==
Alexandrite is one of the Gems who worked at the School as an expert on The Lunarians and is among the gems that accompanied Phosphophyllite to the moon. They do not research The Lunarians because they are interested in them, instead, they conduct the research as an attempt to overcome their condition. Alexandrite conducts this research in order to retain the "fresh feeling of hatred" that they have for The Lunarians as a result of Chrysoberyl being taken from them. Kongo-sensei forbade Alexandrite from seeing the Lunarians as it causes them to go into a battle frenzy. They are one of the older gems, however, their age is unknown.
Alex is studious, especially in terms of information and literature relating to The Lunarians. They will pester the other Gems for details regarding any fights or encounters with the Lunarians, especially if there is a new type of Lunarian. When referred to with honorifics, they hate being called Alex-san, preferring the cuter Alex-chan. This is changed to Alexi or Lexi in the official English translation.
It's said that this attitude of Alex is different from the one they had before Chrysoberyl was taken. When Red Alex, they simply become obsessed with cutting down anything they consider an enemy, passing out once the job is finished. In this state, they don't speak, only screaming out bellowing war cries.
