Character Approval/Alex Steele

Betsyfrancisdamesmer

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.**

Alex's mom, Paisley, wanted nothing to do with him. She was more focused on her younger daughter, Savannah. Paisley had fallen in love, but on the day of her wedding, he had left her with four year old Alex. Paisley now told Alex there was no such thing as love, or true love as everyone called it. But the real reason Paisley didn't interact with her son was his appearance. He had the same brown hair and deep blue eyes as her former love, and the sight of him made her weak. Wanting a distraction from Alex, Paisley adopted Savannah at the orphanage, and was happy when she realized her new daughter had bright blond hair and blue eyes.

But Paisley wasn't the only one who loved Savannah. Alex spent every second her could playing with her. She was only a baby when they adopted her, and as she grew older, Paisley loved her more. Savannah was the perfect child for her, beautiful, sassy and lovable in everyway. But just as she reached the age of four, and Alex ten (when he manifested as a Mesmer), she was taken away. A girl came to the door and told the Steele family that she was Savannah's older sister, Everly Underwood. And just like that, the girl that Paisley and Alex had raised and loved, was gone. She was taken, screaming, out the door of their home, begging Everly to let her stay. In the end, Savannah was taken to Everly and her's parents, famous nobility members who where praised for everything they did.

That night, Paisley almost broke. Savannah, the only thing that brought her happiness, would not be there when she came back from work. Alex convinced her that they would be able to visit Savannah, but the fist time they knocked on the Underwood door, Gianna and Hemptford Underwood (Savannah's parents) told them they didn't want such low class people near their daughter. For three years, the Steele family only saw Savannah through the crack of the door of the Underwood home. When Gianna caught them looking at her for the third time, she threatened to put the family in jail (not exile). For weeks, Alex and Paisley were able to restrain themselves, but after a month Alex couldn't stand it anymore. He was caught. during the Tribunal, Gianna told the Nobility that Alex had used his power as a mesmer to force Savannah to come with him. He was proven guilty and delivered to a prison, but before they could imprison him officially, he escaped. He then became a wanted criminal, at only age 14 and a half.

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

Alex is kind and cares about others, when they aren't trying to report him to the Nobility. He's smart and is good at creating strategies that won't get him in trouble. He will do whatever it takes to protect his family and friends, even if it means putting himself in trouble. Because of his mother bad luck in romance, he never plans to love anyone but his family. He gets nervous when people press him for answers to their questions, not wanting them to figure out who he really is.

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)**

Alex takes after his father in his looks, he has dark brown hair and deep blue eyes. His model is Aymeric Jett Montaz

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?**

If Alex has learned anything from being a wanted criminal, it's that you need to be resourceful. He can make a eight course meal from looking in the trash bins of a grocery store. He can make himself clothes using left over scraps of fabric from clothes stores. He's a good cook and wishes to work at the hospital or orphanage when he becomes an adult (if he proves he is innocent). He is good with medicine and can heal broken bones without professional elixers and is good with healing cuts and other things.
