[quote=Too Old 4 This] ... Do you perhaps owe your own freedom from one of the brothel's African American slaves? Maybe you had a multiracial child whom was taken from you? Lots of possibilities.

That was actually my thinking for her escape. One of the other slaves gives her life for Alex's. I've updated the post just now. Still not done, am working on that as we speak.

EDIT: Done. In terms of justification/reasoning for her motivations, I plan on establishing that in my IC, since Alex's present time is pretty hectic.
