## Description

### Appearance

Alyx is a young girl with long dark brown wavy hair and hazel eyes. She wears a baby blue collar with short puffy sleeves, a navy skirt with golden trimmed design and black leather boots. In addition, she wears a dark blue headband with two knots resembling rabbit ears, a colorful waist sash that consists of navy, red, cyan, gold, and magenta strings with a golden rabbit pin, and bandages wrapped around her right leg.

### Personality

Alyx, in the fairytale *The Girl Who Fell Through the World*, was described as a petulant, cunning, intelligent, innocent and adventurous girl who strived to return home after arriving in the Ever After, as illustrated in the story where she navigated through the foreign world and was stated to have managed to manipulate, lie and cheat the natives of the world into helping her in her quest to return home, with the story illustrating her both as desperate little girl who had done everything to survive in a foreign world and as someone "mean" due to her methods. Alyx was also described to have had difficulty to understand the customs of the Ever After and unknowingly ignited a war by accident due to her ignorance.

She is said by Yang Xiao Long to not be the nicest person, as she apparently lied and cheated her way through all of the challenges in the Ever After. According to Ozpin, she entered the Ever After after fleeing from the consequences of a choice, and rather than learning from her mistake, she ends up spreading her failure. Weiss Schnee argues that instead, she was merely trying to survive in the perilous land and her actions are due to the simple morals of old fairy tales.

In reality, as revealed by Jaune, Alyx was in truth, selfish and even outright cruel, believing that the Ever After was imaginary and the rules didn’t apply to her. After meeting the Herbalist, something changed in her, as she turned on Jaune, the Curious Cat and even her brother Lewis and questioned them on everything. She become completely fixated in returning home to Remnant, going as far as tricking and poisoning Jaune, as she believed that he was against her.

The Curious Cat would claim that Alyx lied and manipulated them with false promises to continue helping her and Lewis. Her selfish personality was intense enough that Jaune suspected she would get rid of her own brother by sacrificing him to the Tree just to escape, though this was proven false. In reality, once Alyx arrived at the Great Tree, she had a crisis of faith that led to a change of heart, and she decided to remain in the Ever After to fix all the problems she caused, so Lewis ended up being the one to leave. However, the Curious Cat saw her choice as betrayal which led to them killing her, debunking the Cat's earlier claim as nothing more than their own fury towards her.
