Mina Alexandra

**Mina Alexandra** is a Guardian born on World 4, and one of the many prisoners of Kazir Sasuke held to be judged as a potential perfect genetic mate for prince Apollo Sasuke. Her first appearance was during a flashback sequence in Chapter 30, until making a proper introduction during Series 2: Destiny's Traitor. She spent most of her life underneath the palace of Calyblanc, before enacting her plan to poison Apollo to allow her fellow captives to escape. She was successful, however, after meeting the prince in person and discovering his true pacifist nature, she decided to stay behind and spend their last days together in the palace before Apollo's, and thereby, the world's death.

During Series 2, Mina is temporarily brought back through the Umberbug's reconstruction of stardust. She becomes friends with Holly Sarah France as another female captive of Calyblanc, and grows to appreciate her bravery. After becoming aware of the truth of her circumstances, she aids the True Guardians in their efforts to give the captives and the staff their chance at rebellion. As the world begins to reduce to stardust again, she kills Kazir with a broken axe, saving Apollo from his attack. Apollo offers to take her back to World 8, and after others fight against Bast, she is able to go to their home with them. She settles into Kinca's home, and gains acquaintance with her.

## Appearance

Mina is a small female Guardian with a coat of soft orange fur and paler undercoat along her stomach and muzzle, her nose and hooves are a blackberry colour, and her long hair and tail are a deeper orange. Her eyes are golden, matching the flower and sphere clips in her mane, and she wears eyeliner making her lower lashes appear thicker. As of August 24th 2022, she has two rips in her left ear and a scar over her left eye from Kazir.

## Personality

Mina is fiery, refusing to show fear or weakness in front of her peers, especially that of the palace guards. Despite this, underneath she fears the palace just as the rest of the prisoners do. She is brave and determined, not hesitant to act on her values at will. When she settles on her opinions, she is stubborn to change her mind.

## Relationships

### Apollo Sasuke

Mina was resentful against Apollo for a long time. It wasn't until meeting him personally she discovered his true morals, admiring his noble efforts to free her fellow captives. Discovering he was on her side after all and drinking her poisoned drink knowingly, she decided to stay by his side in shock and sudden repentance. Admired by his bravery, she spent his last days with him in the kingdom getting to know him. Mina learned to enjoy his presence and cared for him for who he truly was.

### Kincaney France

After moving into Kinca’s room following her revival, the duo have surprisingly hit it off incredibly well. Despite their strong personalities, the amount of shared interests and opinions they have has meant they have very little to clash on, and instead find themselves frequently able to rant for hours together about their similar viewpoints. The pair share a love for astrology, and Kinca is thrilled to have another person to show her studies to and accompany her when stargazing, as well as spending plenty of time binging TV shows and going out to the city together.

### Holly Sarah France

Upon greeting her, Mina found Holly quite nervous and instinctively willing to help her adjust to her life inside the palace walls as another new captive.

## History

### Pre-Series

Mina Alexandra was one of the first captives of Kazir Sasuke to be brought to Calyblanc and judged as a potential ideal genetic mate for prince Apollo Sasuke. After being exposed to the guards by her long time romantic partner, she found herself trapped below the palace of Calyblanc by Kazir, alongside many other individuals who would eventually be taken away. Her closest friends became Amelia Themis and Megita Ret, who were also a part of the initial group. She was one of the longest standing prisoners in the group, and had adopted somewhat of a leader and protector roll over the others, with the staff making a small effort to not remove her as she would keep the ethics of the captives together. Mina regularly stood up to the palace staff despite the power they held over her, though she also got along well with head of staff Diaz Dior for his efforts to positively connect with the captives.

When the captives would one day decide to usurp the prince in an effort to escape Calyblanc, Mina offered herself sacrifice to poison Apollo, leaving a window of opportunity in the panic after his death for all to flee the kingdom. Though her initial plan was left at poisoning the prince’s drink and accepting whatever fate she may suffer at his hands, upon meeting him for the first time Mina finds herself unable to hold back her anger at the person she believes to be the murderer of countless of her peers. Mina attacked him, ripping a chunk from the back of his neck. Shocked as he refuses to fight back or call for help, Mina begins to feel some degree of sympathy as Apollo explains how he had been secretly freeing captives for years under the guise of their deaths, though inevitably agrees her original plan is for the best, and drinks the poison anyway in hopes of saving them all. Taken aback by the action, Mina refused to flee and instead spent their last days alive growing closer with a weakening Apollo as the damage set in. Soon leading to the prince dying in her arms, Mina dies alongside the rest of the world.

### Series 2: Destiny's Traitor

In the Series 2 revisit to World 4 with the True Guardians, Mina first greets Holly after she is placed in with the captives.
