On her left hip is a tattoo of a raven in flight. Shift into: A Raven ยป Alex in raven form can be distinguished from normal ravens by a streak of green on her left wing. Personality: Alex is the sarcastic goth of the group. She's blunt, straight to the point, and impulsive. She's also fiercely loyal and her bravery can match that of a lion's. Alex is usually optimistic, especially when it comes to things concerning the people she cares about. If you're not on her good side, you can expect Alex to be insensitive, tactless, and hurtful (sometimes even physically). History/Bio: Alex was born and raised in Germany. She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and never had a problem getting whatever she wanted. At the young age of ten, Alex found out that she had the ability to shift into a raven. Frightened, she kept it a secret from her parents and everybody else. She did her best in keeping herself in control as to not shift in front of people. For years, she'd done well... Until one day on her eighteenth birthday when the son of her father's company partner discovered her mid-shift. It caused a lot of buzz and the Kraus became the talk of the town. Of course, they couldn't have bad publicity messing up their businesses and images. They paid off the reporters and the family of the boy who saw Alex to keep quiet. Once the sensation died down and was proven to be false, they gave Alex a briefcase of money and sent her on her way where she won't be able to cause trouble for their family anymore. Alex lived on her own and found a roommate who didn't judge her for her shapeshifting abilities. She was living the life, but there was something still missing. When she anonymously received news of other shapeshifters banding together, she just knew she had to join them. She said a sad goodbye to the friend who'd been there for her for years, and went off to find her kin.
