## Personality

Alexandra, or Alex as she prefers, is a quiet person, preferring to stay in the shadows than in the spotlight. A bit introverted, she struggles to make friends and has a habit of disappearing into her head. Despite this, she's quite loyal and desires to be nothing but happy. Scared of what other people might think of her, she tends to hide her scars and her past in belief that they'll think her weak or judge.

Good with her hands, she loves to create, whether it be paintings, sculpture, or even stories (sometimes, she's not very good at writing but she does it for fun). As she often keeps herself company, she always has her sketchpad on her. She also loves comics, having gotten into them at a young age, and has quite a collection she skims through when she can't sleep.

A bit of a pushover, she lets others speak over her and struggles to be heard. She's also quite dry, never really taking herself that seriously, and encourages others to do the same. On top of this, she's also quite forgiving and can withhold being around most people, regardless of their attitude or demeanour.

However, she does her have her own limit. If her buttons are pushed she tends to lash out and can be quite bitter and passive aggressive. However, after the initial burst or episode, Alex calms down quite quickly and forgives regardless of what the others have done.

When upset, Alex tends to withdraw into herself, preferring unhealthy habits such as using prescription pills to fall asleep or restricting her eating in order to distract herself and ignore reality. However, she does try to stop herself and move on from this tendency.

## History

Alex was the youngest child with an older brother and a twin brother in Paris. Her parents had met in high school and had Michael, the eldest, when they were twenty and the twins at twenty five. However, her mother, suffering from multiple mental health issues, began to convince herself that one of the twins, Joshua, wasn't Peters. This was reinforced in how she had been seeing someone along side Peter, which would eventually lead to her getting pregnant with Jade. Due to this paranoia and belief that Peter might figure out Joshua wasn't his, she left Joshua on the side of a road far away from where they lived and created a story in how someone had kidnapped him.

Alex, though, especially after her twin's disappearance, was adored by her brother and father, and was relatively happy. Since she was barely a year old when Joshua disappeared, she has no memories of him growing up other than a few baby photos given to her by Peter. However, her mother was bipolar and often disappeared to stay in mental institutions as she was type one. When she was off her meds and at home, she'd often go from being in an extreme high, where she could practically touch the stars, then be gravelling at the ground in the next fortnight. When she hit her lows, her older brother, Michael, hid Alex into a closet to keep them away from her and her dad often found them there.

When Cassandra was at her high, Alex was raised on every mythology in the book and was surrounded by paintings and murals decorating the walls and ceilings. However, she was quite bitter, especially when Alex began to develop a love for art herself and it was more Michael who encouraged Alex to pursue it, rather than her mother who often tried to put her down in fear that Alex will one day be better than her. When her mother was in the institutions, Alex was babysat by a girl ten years their senior, even though they were poor. It was only older did Alex realise that the girl wasn't exactly a babysitter, she was his father's mistress. When Alex was nine, her dad finally asked for a divorce, realising that despite his best efforts to help Cassandra, she was never going to let herself get better and stay on her meds.

Bitter about the divorce, Cassandra began to use her children to harm their dad, telling them how their dad was a terrible parent and that he didn't love them. Eventually, the father began to cut contact between the children and their mother as she was becoming more and more unstable. The mother didn't want to be on the meds as she claimed it interfered with her creativity and talents as an artist. During these arguments, Alex was introduced to comics and began to escaped her reality through them. However, also through this time, it came out what Cassandra did to Joshua and Peter did do his best to try and find him but came out empty handed. He considered going to the police but knew she would just plead mental insanity and just be forced into another institution, something she was already going in and out of.

When Alex was twelve, her brother took her out for a drive, as he had just gotten his license and had finished building a car he'd been working on for a few years by then. Mucking around, he let Alex sit on his lap to navigate. This was a stupid idea, especially as it was late at night, and soon a truck had slammed into their side, throwing them off the road and into the river. Michael, though his cause of death was drowning, had his throat slit first, making him unable to fight for his life or try to save them, but Alex's powers allowed her to stay alive until someone dragged her out. The death broke the family apart and the mother was soon only allowed to see Alex once a month, not being able to see her without remembering her other children and breaking down.

During this time, the step mum had fallen pregnant and on Alex's birthday, her father dropped her off at her mother's. The father had to leave due to being at his wife's ultrasound and, in his hurry, he didn't check to see if her mother was on her meds.

Upon entering the house, her mother seemed to be fine and asked Alex all the right questions. How she was, how was school. Her mother had become obsessed with stainless glass as her area of art at the moment and the room was decorated with half-done windows. Eventually, after drinking tea, Alex began to feel woozy and excused herself to the bathroom where she began to realize that her mother had drugged the drink. Trying to call her father, he didn't pick up as he was busy with the stepmom.

Leaving the room, she tried to make excuses to leave but found herself falling through one of the windows, the glass cutting into her. When she hit the ground, her mother lay down beside her and began to tell her about the story of Andromeda and Perseus. She believed that to be a family again, she had to kill Alex as it would return them to Michael and her twin. She planned to kill herself afterwards. She was found by her father who had (finally) received the messages and was taken to the hospital and her mother arrested.

Due to the event, the doctor's realised something else as they had the chance. She was diabetic, type one. A few months after, a box appeared on her doorstop and she was taken to Mirrorworld where she has stayed for four years and is currently there now.

For the first two years, everything was fine, she gained a best friend through her room-mate and even had a boyfriend for a year. It wasn't until the middle of the second year that everything began to go down hill. One night, she was spending it with her boyfriend in the local arcade. Eventually, someone walked up to her, telling her that Jack, the boyfriend, was cheating on her. How he knew, Alex didn't know, but the two struck up conversation and Alex was sweet talked into ditching Jack and going with him.

For a few weeks, the two were fine, building up a friendship, and it was only Lucia, her roommate, who warned her about him but she didn't listen. Alex tended to believe in everyone she met. It was only when Will started asking for favours that everything went down hill. He dressed her up for the night, taking her to charity events where she did nothing but charm people. It wasn't that bad, a bit boring, but bearable. However, about six months after meeting him, she found out the true reasoning behind the events. Will had created the charity to steal money from the people attending. Confronting him, she threatened to go open with it but after Will convinced her not to, she left in anger, setting the money he'd 'earned' that night on fire.

Will, being angry, began to spread rumours through the school. At first, Alex didn't notice it but the cat calling and the harassment began to get worse and worse, enough that Alex couldn't ignore it. Jack, however, had been begun to pressure her for sex, and when the accusations caught his ear, he snapped, taking her for both revenge and his own needs. Instantly breaking up with him, she stopped going to the classes they shared and cut off all of her friends, who were already on Jack's side anyway. This included Lucia who had recklessly told Alex she was in love with her. The rumours got to Lucia, however, and soon Alex decided to transfer. Furthermore, her artwork, which had been winning competitions and being entered into galleries, were accused of plagiarism and her titles were removed and galleries declined to even look at her, except a youth gallery. Though, Alex isn't sure of who it was who accused her, she has her suspicions. Eventually, she stopped going to class and heightened her use of prescription pills. Due to sleeping the majority of her time, she began to forget to eat and when she was awake, she felt sick enough that she didn't want to.

Two thirds of the way through her third year, Alex woke up in hospital being told she overdosed. The problem was, due to the amount of drugs she'd taken, the pills had damaged her brain cells, causing her to forget large portions of her memory, especially her memories regarding Mirrrorworld and it's past and culture. She forgot how to speak English and even how to write and for a month, she spent trying to get back to a position where she could function in the world outside. Still today, she struggles with her memory having not quite gotten back the lost memories regarding the world around her.

After this little event, the doctors stopped prescribing her pills telling her it was probably best to handle the nightmares without the use of pills as they didn't trust her enough to not OD again. To combat this, she found other sources to get them. However, for the next six to eight months, she went in and out of hospital due to her weight and eating habits, something she eventually did overcome but even now, her eating is minimal.

She's been meddling through since then, actually trying to go to class and ignoring the rest of the world.
