## Background

### History

Growing up unwanted will fuck up a person beyond repair, Alex considers herself unfortunate proof of that. How could she not? She doesn’t have memories of home really, not as a child. There’s a file, she’s seen that at least, a long list of every place that she didn’t fit. But hey, bad kids don’t last do they? No one wants a bad kid, a fucked up one, one with problems. Kids like that, they don’t get the cinderella stories, the Annies, they only ever have themselves and as far as their feet will take them until they finally crash. Really, Alex has been crashing from the get go. Abandoned within her first couple years of life she was bounced through the foster system and put through more ordeals than she would ever willingly recount.

Alex was considered a problem child. She was defiant and loud, she talked to people that weren’t there, knew things she shouldn’t know. A lot of those first houses favored physical punishments for kids like her, give her enough pain and surely she’ll turn normal. It was hard for her to understand, and then it wasn’t. Their children were important, she wasn’t theirs, she was expendable. That was clear by how social workers showed up with her bags and told her she was going somewhere else. That was just how it went, she didn’t fit and she had to be moved. Every few months she was somewhere new, she had to learn new rules, new families, new everything.

One home lasted three years, and all of them were hell.

Try as she might, she couldn't hide what she saw, the spirits that never left her alone. For a ten year old girl, thar was more stress than she could handle. Between the beatings, the cages, trying to turn her and her current siblings against each other, adding restless ghosts that terrified her to the mix was a recipe for disaster. When she she couldn't hide it, when it didn't just stop they send her away. That time spent alone in the hospital, subjected to medications, treatments, all things that didn't help and only made it worse, it broke something in her. It was better to pretend that she was better, that it had never been real in the first place, that got her out of the hospital at least. Right back into hell. Until her foster father ended his life and placed the blame on her, she just couldn't be normal.

Things moved quickly from there. She was separated from the children she'd spent the last three years with and once again tossed into the wind. This time, she actually managed to land. Jason and Marie were good to her in ways no one else had been before. They were patient with her distrust and sharp edges, let her take her time to come out of that shell she'd made. Their only request was that she got back to something she loved. She took up dancing in earnest again and they supported her the whole way. By the time she was seventeen they asked to legally adopt her. Feeling indebted to their kindness to her, she obliged them. At least that was what she told herself, Alex was never going to let herself believe anyone really cared about her, or that she cared for them. Unfortunately. Such softness wasn't to last. Before she turned 19 they were lost to a car crash, once again leaving Alex alone in the world.

She threw herself into her work as a Dancer and she did find success. Signed with one of the top companies, her work experience boasts multiple world tours with top artists, countless music videos, professional stage productions, her or budding choreography. And the occasional teaching post as well. However. Don't let the success fool you, she has let anyone close. And she doesn't intend to either. No. It's better that she stays at a distance, the only friend she needs is the bottle of jack Daniel's that helps her deal with the ghosts she tries to ignore. Unfortunately, that's what brought her to the Nexus hub as well. Drunk, running, trying to get away from the reach of the spirits, she stumbled through a portal and found herself transported away. Once again, she's adrift in a new situation, and she has to figure it out on her own.
