Character Approval/Alexa Callahan

"Doesn’t expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected?" ~Vee

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**

Alexa Callahan was a normal kid, she played, slept, and ate. She loved her parents. She had friends. Which is why no one saw what was coming. Alexa's parents are both trusted members of the nobility, and they truly believed that elves could do anything, anywhere. Which is probably why it came as a shock when Alexa was diagnosed with a really bad heart problem at age 10. There was a hole in her heart, a small one, but it was there. The only way to save her was with open-heart surgery, but if she died on the operating table, which was highly likely, the surgeon would probably break from guilt. Her parents still put out a request for that, but it was denied by many hospitals. One agreed to give her check-ups, but no surgeon was stepping forward to do the surgery. Alexa was shocked, and still fully not understanding what happened.

After her 12th birthday, the doctors announced that she had 8 more years to live. No more then that. Alexa was horrified, and sank into a state of depression. Even her loving parents couldn't take her out of her self-inflicted daze. Finally one of the nurses took pity on her, and made it her mission to help Alexa. She gave her things to do, took her out into the real world. She got human books for her to read, and even manages to snag some tickets to the Bramble World Cup. Alexa finally began to regain her fun personality, and took up hobbies to help her get through the months. Her stats got better and better, until she was able to leave the hospital. She still kept in touch with the nurse.

Alexa lives in Atlantis, she loves that city with all of her heart. She often goes on day trips, and hikes mountains everywhere she can. She loves exploring her world, since she won't be there to see it grow in a few years. She accepts that, and hopes everyone else can too.

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

Alexa is careful, not wanting to shear down the scanty time she already has left. But don't think that makes her someone who sits around in a hospital room all day. She's always trying to do new things, trying to fit 20 years of her life into 4. She's extremely smart, but she knows when to give up. She's not afraid of dying, and doesn't want anyone to break because of that. A good word to describe her would be "self-sacrificial".

3) **What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)**

Model: Odeya Rush. She's 16 years old

4) **Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?**

She's crazy good at alchemy, and a hobby of hers is reading human books. She used to be good at sports like Bramble, but after her sickness took over, the hospital forbid her to play. She can still run and walk and do anything anything physical, though. She hates cooking, but considering the fact that she burns practically every dish, that's probably for the better.
