Alexandria has the same auburn golden-red hair of her mother, its shine being almost flawless and irresistible. Her figure his thin and dainty, and it is said that she is one of the most beautiful women in the entire lands of Matal and beyond. She wears only the fairest royal gowns and most beautifully crafted dresses, she knows how to hold herself at all times so that she looks graceful and elegant. Her eyes are a light shade of green, as were her father’s – that is before they turned a bright shade of purple, they often gleam when she is deep in thought. All in all she appears almost exactly as you would expect a princess of Matal to, although appearances can be deceiving. 

Personality:
Alexandria has the ability to behave in the most upstanding and gracious way, her gift with words only helping her to behave in an incredibly mature and intelligent way. The majority of people that she interacts with only see and believe exactly what she wishes them to of her, and see only ‘The Princess Alexandria’. The truth to her personality is that she is cunning and ruthless, with a somewhat hidden cruel streak. That being said she is not overly cruel or malevolent – she is just determined to win the inheritance game, and has prepared to do so her entire life. No deed is to dark or cruel for her to dismiss outright, and she will consider the strength of all options before committing to a course. 
The very few times Alexandria ever gets to be herself is when she is alone or with people who do not actually know who she is – such as when she is in disguise and her actions could never come back to her. 

Skills: 
Alexandria has many many skills, having spent her entire life preparing for this very moment. 
Through the urgings of her mother she is familiar with all aspects of Matal ‘s laws and culture – as well as versed in all the customs and practises of the religion of Matal. She has studied many subjects extensively in order to prepare her for anything that may come her way and is familiar with the many trade and work laws. 

She has also spent much time training with a rapier, knowing all too well that she would be an obvious target for any seeking to win the games through attrition or murder. Her mother arranged in secret to have her trained by her personal guardsman outside of the royal grounds – with much time and much hard work she has finally reached a proficient level of skill and can now confidently defend herself, and if need be take a life. As far as she is aware only her mother, father and Captain Reynard are aware of her skills. 
Unknown all but to herself, Alexandria is a very skilled liar. Throughout her life she has learned that with only words and a little manipulation that it is very easy to reach her goals and get what she wants. At the age of 21 she is now an experienced veteran when it comes deception and cunning, and she will not hesitate to use every tool at her disposal to further her own agenda. 

Background:
Born as a legitimate candidate to the throne Alexandria grew up with everything you would expect of a princess – she had everything she could want and more. She had a very strong relationship with her mother, who began to teach her from a very early age many of the vital skills she would need. When she was old enough to understand the inheritance game she knew what she wanted, and that was to be Queen just like her mother. 

As she grew from a child to a woman her skills continued to grow with her, and she prepared for the day that her father’s eyes would change colour and her task would begin. Soon she reached a point where she had learnt as much from her mother as she could, and as much as she was thankful she knew she needed more to survive and to be victorious. She began to sneak away from the Royal grounds whenever she was able, and in disguise she began to experience life as the people of Metal did. With the resources she had as a princess it was not difficult for her to establish contacts in the criminal world under an alias, and once she had a few skilled men she felt she could trust sufficiently she began to expand the influence that she had through bribes and favours. Before she knew it several years had passed and she now was responsible for a sufficiently powerful criminal element within the capital of Matal, responsible for bribing certain officials and other important people in exchange for favours. They had contacts with other criminal elements in the Capital as well, and could arrange almost any service or job. Though the enterprise had grown and been more successful than she could have imagined, Alexandria made sure that she kept her distance from the group and only dealt directly with one of her two partners – and always as her alias.

As if to confirm that she were ready for the challenge, soon after her father’s eyes turned from green to bright purple, signifying that things were about to get very interesting.
