Cobalt Alexander CC

Cobalt Alexander, also known by her fake name Khaalida, is an OC that was repurposed for the game series Criminal Case.

## Personality:

   Cobalt is a distant character and always seems to be on high alert and is dismissive of others. They are typically found wearing baggy clothing which covers their whole face in shadow, sometimes she will wear a facemask and a large scarf, even if it's not cold and have her hair cover over part of her face. She can warm up to people, mainly Audria, who seems to be the only person she tolerates and talks to the most.

## Backstory:

Cobalt Alexander was known to work with her father, who was part of a massively famous/infamous family (depends on who you ask), who was a well respected farmer who also ran a popular and large brewery/tavern. The town they worked in was fairly sub-urban, but Cobalt was born and raised in a very conservative and superstitious neighbourhood. Her mother had died not long after her birth, so everything she did, she would contribute it to her mother as her own way of remembrance. Cobalt worked on her father's farm almost as soon as she could walk, and worked at his tavern since she was about 15, so she has been working at the tavern for 5 years and she is incredibly popular for her seeming natural talent behind the bar, she knows just how to prepare the best drinks and how to make a massive show out of it to. She is also very talkative and sometimes flirtatious, mainly to blend into the bartender/barmaid stereotype, but that attitude would occasionally get her into trouble.

However, the Alexander Family did have an enemy, the local priest of the town, who saw the tavern as nothing but a place of sin, and argued with her father on various occasions about shutting the place down in 'the name of Christ', but her father would always laugh him off as a mad man. However, everything changed when this priest discovered a horrifying secret about the Alexander family, a secret so bad he resorted to burning down the Alexander family home/farm, with the father and Cobalt inside.

When Detectives came to the scene, they found the place burning down around them as they tried to gather evidence, the main thing on the scene was Cobalt's body, a wooden stake through her heart as she was tied to a burning cross like structure with spiked wires. She was placed in a body bag and shipped off in an ambulance to get back to the laboratory for investigation. After investigating the crime scene further and finding the charred remains of her father, a family portrait and some burnt articles of clothing, the detectives would go around asking the locals questions, mainly the priest, a particular drunkard who had once asked for Cobalt's hand in marriage and was declined, and the wife to said drunkard, all of which had high likelihoods of being the murderer. After the interviews, the Detectives would get a devastating call that the ambulance carrying Cobalt's body had mysteriously got into a car crash. The Detectives where on the scene immediately to try and recover any evidence, that's when they found Cobalt's body bag and dragged it out of the burning wreck. What they didn't expect to happen next was for Cobalt to violently break free of said body bag, their face half burnt and their body very much battered and bruised, but instead of seeing melted skin, they were met with a robotic face underneath as various sparks leaped off her face. That's when they realised Cobalt wasn't human, but a robot.

You see, the priest didn't kill Cobalt like that for no reason. That priest, in his quest for knowledge against the Alexander family in order to shut them down, found somewhere on a lone hill under a tree two graves, one by the name of Elizabeth Alexander, the wife, and one for her child, Cobalt Alexander. After seeing this, the priest was convinced that the Cobalt that had been walking this Earth for 20 years was some sort of demon, and sought to kill her and her father, but really, she was just a robot, a robot built out of her father's guilt for losing not only his wife, but his daughter.

After the Detectives pieced everything together and arrested the priest, Cobalt was told to try and live her life to the fullest and was even given a disguise as well as her father's glasses. She would wave off the Detectives before moving to a new city, away from all of this chaos, but she felt inspired by all the Detectives had done. Inspired to help others just like they did for her.

The next town over, their police force received a new recruit, a hooded figure with a long flowing blue scarf and a set of glasses which almost gave off a blue glow, her face was always covered in shadow. A recruit who called themselves Khaalida. This new recruit didn't make many friends, eating their lunch separate to others, and many would wonder what secrets this recruit held under their shadowy hood, only one other recruit (Audrina Stewart) was able to get close to them and even become decent friends with them. Over the course of various murders, it was shown that this recruit was a valuable asset, even though they seemed to have no prior training/experience in the field, they had a very keen eye for small details that could blow a case wide open, evidence that would usually only be able to be attained in a laboratory, and they always seemed to know who the real culprit was before they were revealed, a sixth sense of sorts.

That was until a very particular case, a group of religious zealots had killed a popular celebrity after they were convicted in their eyes as being a 'sinner'. The recruit, who would usually turn up to any scene no questions asked, tried to back out of the case as much as possible, reciting 'personal issues', but they were eventually convinced to joining the case. After digging around for clues and evidence, the detectives finally discovered the leader of the group of zealots and locked him up. However, the zealot would not go down without a fight, for only a couple weeks later, there was an attack on the prison in which he was being held, he managed to escape, but one of his men had been killed during the prison raid, and so Audria and Khaalida were sent to the scene to investigate and find the killer, who had also been a prisoner himself and had killed the zealot during a shoot out.

This wasn't the end of Khaalida's journey with these cultists, seeing as though almost nothing had been done to help recapture the leader, let alone his men who helped break him out, Khaalida took matters into her own hands. She manged to track down where the cultists were hiding using clues discovered from one of the inmates cells and snuck into the place late at night. She took the robes of one of the cultists and managed to sneak her way in with little trouble, and as she snuck around, she set up various explosives, all timed within a precise millisecond of each other. She found their leader, and as the building began to explode around him, she stuck a stake through his heart and chained him up to a crucifix before she left the scene.

The next morning, she was called to the scene of her own crime, along with Audria. The entire police station was scratching their heads over this murder, as it almost seemed to have been impossible for a *human* to pull off, there were suspects that lined up, but even then it was always a stretch as to who the culprit was. That would be until Audria recovered some CCTV footage that managed to survive the explosion, and that's when she was able pinpoint who the killer was, none other then her own friend and work partner, Khaalida. Khaalida would find Audria and confront her, revealing her true identity as a robot and her true name, she also gave Audria a choice to either lock them up or let them go...

*The case went cold, and the killer was never found.*
