[hr][hr][color=green][b]Name:[/b][/color] Alexandra "Alex" Nichols 
 
[color=green][b]Age:[/b][/color] 14

[color=green][b]Grade:[/b][/color] 9th

[color=green][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Alex is the typical quiet, soft-spoken girl. Sometimes she's presumed to be anti-social, but that couldn't be further from the truth. While she does genuinely enjoy being around friends and acquaintances, she tends to keep to herself when she's alone; her expression giving her the appearance that she's sad or depressed even though she's perfectly fine.

Luckily for Alex, she is both book smart and street smart. It is almost always the case that her poker face isn't giving away the fact that her mind is coming up with some complex idea to solve whatever issue is currently going on around her. She prefers to remain away from the spotlight, but that doesn't mean she'll avoid taking action if the situation calls for it.  

[color=green][b]History:[/b][/color] Born into a middle-class family, Alex grew up alongside her twin older brothers three years her senior. Both of her parents have maintained stable careers to afford the family a comfortable life without having any form of financial stress. Since a young age, Alex has always loved music, and she went on to pursue such passion in middle school when she started taking piano classes as an elective. By her senior year, Alex had already been playing in the school band for some time, and they were even invited to play at a concert hall as part of a holiday festival celebration. 

Unfortunately, the family suffered a tragic loss that same year. One of her brothers, Michael, failed his 11th grade exam and was killed as a result. Alex and Lucas instantly grew even closer than they were before, and Lucas started helping Alex with study materials he already knew like the back of his hand. 

Now in high school, Alex can't help but think the worst for herself or her brother when it comes to the exam. Even though they've always been rather intelligent, she fears that they too will fail like her brother did the previous year. The family obviously hasn't gotten over their loss, and the tension within their home is only growing as the inevitable date approaches. 

[color=green][b]Biggest Fear:[/b][/color] Failing the exam and being robbed of the chance to graduate school and go on to have a life of her own.
