Alexa

Alexa is the main protagonist in the episode Takedown.

She is an anti-hero.

When Alexa's mother was pregnant with her, Alexa was actually a son, not a daughter. Before her parents saw her sonogram, Alexa's father received a chain letter from Trudi, and was offered a gift. He asked for a girl, and before he saw Alexa's sonogram, Alexa's gender switched, turning him into a girl. At some point, Alexa's parents separated. However, her mother and father still remained on good terms, and she often called her separated husband to come and help, to which he obliged. Alexa had a best friend called Lucky. Lucky was a gentle cheerleader and Alexa was a jock. In High school, Alexa was the only girl on the wrestling team. She received a chain text from Trudi, being offered a gift. She blocked Trudi's phone number but still kept on getting messages from her. As the Wrestling Regionals were coming up, and Alexa was desperate to impress her dad, who she believes resents her for being a girl and not a boy, she asks Trudi for 'Physical Strength.' Alexa is given enhanced strength, which is so powerful that she can break a glass bottle by just unscrewing the bottle cap, which also makes her bleed. Alexa defeats a boy called George on the Wrestling team, and realising that the Wrestling Captain, Lincoln, is feeling sick and isn't as strong as he usually is. Alexa believes her strength has come from Lincoln. Desperate to impress her father, Alexa asks for more and more strength. When Lucky tries to stop her, she bends his fingers out of anger and tells him to leave. At the final match between Lincoln and Alexa to determine who can compete in the Wrestling Regionals, Alexa realises that Lincoln is also in league with Trudi, who is giving him technique. They wrestle, and Lincoln wins due to Alexa having lost her technique. But as the Cheerleading Squad enters the gymnasium, Alexa realises her strength has been coming from the Squad, who are not strong enough to even stand. Alexa suddenly starts texting Trudi begging her to give her strength back to the cheerleaders. Trudi warns Alexa that if her chain is undone, then everyone else's chain will also be broken. Lincoln tries to stop her from agreeing to Trudi's terms, but she sends her text just in time. The cheerleaders regain their strength and become healthy again, and Alexa has lost her strength and Lincoln has lost his technique. Alexa leaves, upset. As she enters her dad's car in tears, she admits that she thought he always wanted a son. Her dad tells her she is wrong, and that he grew up in a household with four brothers, and that when picturing having a child, all he could think about was a daughter. He then says that he asked for a girl. Alexa asks what he means by this and he explains that he was written a chain letter when her mother was pregnant and before they knew her gender, and asked for a daughter. Alexa reads Trudi's final text message, and when her father turns to look at his daughter after a slight glance out the car window, he is shocked to see a boy sat in Alexa's place, as confused as he is. This boy is actually Alexa, who turned to her original gender as all the chains Trudi every made were broken.
