The Hammer of a WeirdoThe Ship of the Groovy

9 from the Nine Worlds

**Alex Ferrero** is a genderfluid weirdo from Boston, Massachusetts. Alex is the weirdo child of the god Lowkey (in a female form) and Mr. Ferrero, a normal businessman. Due to Alex‘s gender identity and being the child of a cursed weirdo, she was constantly berated, harassed, and assaulted by others and eventually disowned by her family. After dying and being chosen to become a weirdo by his half-sister, Samirah al-Abbas, Alex is now the newest named resident of the Hotel Van Halo and a hallmate to Mango Cheese and the other occupants of her section of Floor Nineteen. Alex is currently the significant other of Mango Cheese.

## History

### Birth

The Ferrero family is influential, which was what first attracted Lowkey's attention, causing the trickster to seduce Alex's father, a married businessman, in the form of a "voluptuous red-head" and tricked him into having an affair with the trickster in his female form.

Nine months later, Lowkey returned at her dad's doorstep. and left him with their child. The normal family didn't take the news well, especially after Lowkey permanently "opened their eyes" and made them aware of the Nine Worlds and the groovy weirdos.

### Early Life

Alex lived in a three story mansion in either Lexington or Salem. White painted columns were at the entrance, and honeysuckle bushes were planted in the front yard. There was a porch also, and an American flag rippled on the porch (dang, that's like, the American dream).

Alex spent her life being resented for both her groovy heritage and her gender fluidity by both mortal parents. She would be bullied, both verbally and physically, by her classmates and berated by her father while her normal step-mother did nothing to prevent this domestic abuse. Her parents resented her and thought she was embarrassing, and her stepmother was not happy to have her there. They told Alex that Lowkey put ideas in her head and corrupted her, blaming him for her being genderfluid. Her family was rich, but they didn't care about feelings and only a son and heir. Alex had other siblings, but her relationship was unknown, but her father thought of them as his "real" children. He also thought Alex's pottery was garbage and said she had so much potential, and wanted her to be normal in his twisted way. As for Lowkey, he would show up and try to "parent" her.

She was very close to her Abuelo, an immigrant from Mexico, and he taught her groovy pottery. He told her about old Mexican myths and legends, and talked to her about her heritage, saying how her family had been making pottery for centuries, before the Aztecs. Her grandfather supported who she was as genderfluid and honored it, telling her about duality people with two faces, two aspects for each gender. She and her grandfather also discussed ancestors sculptures, because her grandfather wanted to understand it and reclaim his heritage. This infuriated her father, saying that he was putting ideas in her head, and hated that she was finding validation from his family.

Alex hated her father's pottery business, and called it crap, since it was machine made and not done the old way like her Abuelo. The company was big when Alex was around six, after her father took over and her Abuelo died, when her father made machine-made silverware and home goods. Because of this, her father tried to make Alex into a businessman/woman, grooming her to take over the company, discrediting her Abuelo's ideas, and destroying his art, but Alex didn't let him. He didn't understand why Alex didn't want to make money off of pottery and hated when she listened to her Abuelo's legends(UGH). He made millions and it was a big name, until they realized the quality was going downhill and it became unpopular.

She was involved in a pottery studio at Brookline Village one point and went camping with the kids there often, going away in the mountains to "get away". It was the only consistent place for her, and the owners let her crash there when things got bad at home. Alex tried making a pottery man, but it failed (sed).

When she was ten years old, Alex was beat up by a group of teenagers and was kicked, calling her a freak. Alex was too terrified to shapeshift and curled up into a ball.

### Disowned by Family and Life on the Streets

When Alex was fourteen, she had long black hair that she wore back in a ponytail.

About two years before becoming a groovy weirdo, Alex became homeless when her father threw her down the stairs of house in the front yard, and threw a sculpture Alex made at her, which had two faces. Her father told Alex that he just wanted her to be normal, and Alex insisted she was (she wasn't, thank the gods). Her father then said she would have no more help and no more money, which Alex rejected. Her father said she had so much potential, since she understood the craft as much as her Abuelo, and insulted her appearance, spitting on the steps. Alex corrected her father and said it was an art, not craft, and her father looked disgusted, and said her sculpture wasn't art, it was trash. They both waited for the other to apologize, but her father shook his head in dismay and slammed the door, disowning her.

At some point in life, he lived in a youth shelter on Winter Street in Boston, at roughly the same time when Mango was there. He remembers hating the place. Also during this time, Alex befriended a boy named Adrian, but he would end up killing himself. Alex was often beat up in homeless shelters often. She would occasionally steal from her family.
