## Backstory

Alex was previously a guard in the bastion she was born in, but due to a human attack she was forced to flee, in the scuffle getting a scar across her eye limiting her vision. in her time on the run she explored everything the nether had to offer, learning it and it's resources like the back of her hand. her time in the nether is when she started tinkering, tapping into her curiosity and learning various neat tricks involving her crossbow, even modifying it to double as a grappling hook.

On one of her exploration missions, Alex came across a small village of piglins being raided by humans. against her better judgement, she decided to help. she ran once, she wouldn't again. quickly she swung in with her makeshift grappling hook, helping anyone she could. slowly she travelled through the village, trying to find where they were coming from, taking out anyone who attacked her. Through the chaos, Alex saw a nether portal far away that seemed to be where the attackers were coming in and out from. when she got closer she saw multiple piglin children being dragged through the portal. Quickly, she pushed through to the portal, jumping through it to hear alarms blaring all around the stainless white place. Alex started running down the halls, looking for where they kept the captured piglins.

She skidded into a long hallway, most of the cells filled with piglins that had been tested on, some of which starving or deceased. Alex quickly slashed her battle-axe along each of the keypads, causing the doors to malfunction and open. “Head down the hall to the portal! Go!” Alex shouted above the alarms to the piglins. They quickly ran towards the portal as Alex continued searching for more of her people. She slashed through the metal doors with the brute force of her stolen battle-axe, running through the hallways.

She suddenly came to a stop as she was unable to break through a reinforced door. The short piglin huffed with frustration and skidded over to the keypad. She looked around the room and saw a researcher quickly running away. Alex quickly ran over and jumped onto the researchers back, slashing their head off as it rolled through the hallway. She grabbed a keycard that was around the researcher's neck and quickly swiped the keypad with the card. As the reinforced door opened into new chambers, she quickly ran in with her axe raised. A high pitched scream rang through the room as she felt the temperature in the room rise by a fair few degrees, almost to the nether's heights. She ran down the hall and saw three guards try to grab this child who was desperately trying to fight back. Fire rose up from the child, burning the guards as he tried to run away again. Alex ran at the guards chasing the child, slashing them with her axe, protecting the child. As the guards fell down, the child ran behind her. She looked over and saw not a piglin, but a human. well, something humanoid anyway. He had all human features except for his fiery powers and strange eyes. What kind of sick species would experiment on their own kind? He didn’t even look older, he looked around 9 or 10. She scooped up the child and started running back to the portal. She leapt through it and quickly destroyed it behind her.

Looking around, she saw that all the piglins were safe and all of the humans had been dealt with. She placed down her axe and carried the child properly. “What’s that? It’s not a piglin.” a large rabbit-like humanoid loomed over her, narrowing his gaze at the child she was holding. “I found him in the lab, i think he’s a human but he’s not dangerous. not to us anyway” Alex assured them. The child turned around to look at the tall piglins and she felt him get warmer and warmer in her hands. She placed him down before he got too hot as he clung to her, hiding behind her. “See? He’s harmless.” Alex pointed out. “It looks like a blaze..” another piglin pointed out. “We should still get rid of it.” Another piglin shouted. “It could burn down the village!” Another pointed out. Alex narrowed her gaze at the crowd of piglins shouting. “Well, a lot of people want it gone. You should listen to them. It’s not going to have a better life in the nether than it would in the overworld.”

## Personality & Hobbies

Alex is a typically nice enough person, however at times she can be a little mean and distrustful. she'd never really hurt someone unless they hurt her first, but she has an unhealthy tendency of threatening people for inconsequential things. she's protective of those she holds close and prefers not to be too judgmental, however she has a strong dislike for those associated science and experiments, even going so far as to quit tinkering for a while. she may be mean at times, but if you get on her good side she can be at least a little fun to talk to.

She enjoys tinkering quite a lot, opening small mechanisms and seeing how they work such as clocks, televisions, gaming consoles, ect etc. every now and then she'll travel to her home dimension, going for a walk or collecting the heads of those who came back from the dead, she's not a particularly normal creature.
