[b][color=8A2BE2]Build:[/color][/b] Lean and toned [b][color=8A2BE2]Eyes:[/color][/b] Dark brown, deep set, almond shaped [b][color=8A2BE2]Hair:[/color][/b] Long dark brunette hair, usually worn up [b][color=8A2BE2]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] Tanned [b][color=8A2BE2]Tattoos/Scars/Piercings:[/color][/b] Pierced ears; various little scars [b][color=8A2BE2]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Considering her vocation as a trick rider, ease of mobility mostly trumps the need for fashion. She generally dons her circus attire at all times of the day, sometimes even when she isn't physically at the circus. Needless to say, her personal style is more out of the box and does not conform to what's seen as socially acceptable to the ton. Skirts are optional as far as she is concerned. Instead she generally wears stockings and a short pair of bloomers coupled with tall riding boots. She wears a loose shirt that is often tied at the bottom. Over that she likes to wear a gypsy coin vest. As far as jewelry goes, she likes to wear coin necklaces and earrings. Additionally, she likes to wear accessories like flowers or ribbons in her hair, which is usually kept up and out of her face. Overall, her style often has a gypsy like quality to it. With that said, she likes the colors red and black, but she will also wear bold yellows and oranges for an eye-catching pop of color.

She's known as a wildcard to many, and there's certainly truth to that. As far as she is concerned, the status quo is meant to be broken. She lives life to the full, as she views every moment as being precious. She's spontaneous and fun-loving, and she has this unbridled confidence about her. At the end of the day, she honestly doesn't care what others think or say about her. Others opinions of her don't change who she is at heart, and she will always remain true to herself. Along with her free-spirited nature, she is notoriously sarcastic. That's not to say that she uses it with the intent to be malicious. No, it's just how she communicates. Sarcasm is like a second language to her. It helps bring levity to tense or awkward situations. It can make people laugh, bringing in well needed comedy relief. While sometimes it's simply her way of calling people out on their crap. Truthfully, she is a people person. She loves interacting with others and enjoys meeting new people. If she teases you, it more or less means she likes you. Take it as a compliment. Needless to say, there is never a dull moment with Alexandra. Sarcasm may be her go to response, but that's not all there is to her. When the situation calls for seriousness, she can actually speak quite frankly. There is a bright mind and a kind heart below her light-hearted demeanor. She enjoys learning and experiencing new things. Despite what her sarcastic nature might suggest, she is a fairly open minded individual. She respects that others have their own views of things, and she is willing to hear them out before deciding for herself. However, once she is deadest on something, it is hard to sway her. In the off chance you manage to piss her off, be prepared for a whole new level of crazy.

They lived. They died. The Andonov family did not amount to much outside their mercantile trade. For many generations they have lived in Odessa, Ukraine, within the great Russian Empire. It's location on the shores of the Black Sea make the city a prime location for trade. With that in mind, where else would they go? The strapping young lad that was Dorofei Andonov at the time met on one fateful day the lovely yet headstrong Inna. She was a wandering Ruska Roma gypsy, considered to be the lowest of the low of society, and yet he quickly found himself smitten with her. Neither of their families approved of the relationship, and outside of business relations, their families distanced themselves from them. Regardless, Dorofei and Inna got married and settled down in Odessa, of course, to create a family of their own. On March 27, 1798, Alexandra Dorofeivna Andonova was born. Unfortunately, complications arose that prevented Inna from bearing anymore children. They were happy nonetheless. As trade was prospering at the time, Dorofei was able to provide a decent living for his wife and daughter. The tradeoff was that his work often kept him away from home, leaving Inna and a private tutor to raise and educate Alexandra. However, one day life as they knew it would all change. While on a family outing, when Alexandra was only eleven years old, they were attacked by a couple of Yagababa. The creatures' intended target was the little Alexandra, but her parents fought valiantly to protect her. They bought their daughter enough time to escape to the nearby Russian Imperial Circus, which they had often frequented. She would be safe there, and the circus folk sent out trained individuals to deal with the situation. However, it was too late. Her parents were gone. In a mere few hours she had become an orphan. [b][color=8A2BE2]Your personal life:[/color][/b] Alexandra was born on March 27, 1798 in Odessa, Ukraine within the Russian Empire. She was the only child of Dorofei and Inna, the former a merchant and the latter a Ruska Roma gypsy. Her father's profession kept him busy and often meant he was away from home. That left her mother to raise her mostly by herself. Her mother was an extravagant and headstrong woman, leaving little to wonder as to where Alexandra gained her free-spirited and boisterous nature. Her mother was also intelligent, and she ultimately raised Alexandra to be the freethinking woman that she is today. Her family held education to a high standard. With that in mind, Dorofei used what income he had to hire a private tutor so Alexandra could get a proper education. They went through a few different tutors before finding one that could at least tolerate the strong, outlandish personalities of both mother and daughter. While she gained academic knowledge from her tutor, Inna taught Alexandra important life lessons and values, as well as exposed her to the culture of the Ruska Roma gypsy. Music, dancing, performing, horseback riding, and perhaps a little sleight of hand were all a part of her mother's teachings. Outside of school, Alexandra was an active child. Adults and children in the neighborhood knew her well, to their annoyance. She honestly did not have many friends growing up, as most parents steered their children away from her, stating she was a bad influence. It didn't really faze her though. She would just find someone else to meet or somewhere else to explore. When her father Dorofei was home, they went on family outings together, including frequent visits to the Russian Imperial Circus. She didn't have the greatest relationship with her father. He wasn't nearly as captivating as her mother was, but he was family nonetheless. Her mother and father were really the only family she had, as she rarely saw her extended family, and when she did, it was always brief. Her young mind did not fully comprehend the reasons that drove people away from her, and yet it did little to dampen her love of life. One day, at the age of eleven, her life would take a tragic turn. While on a family outing, they were attacked by a couple of Yagababa. The creatures' intended target was the little Alexandra, but her parents fought valiantly to protect her. They bought her enough time to escape to the nearby safety of the Russian Imperial Circus. The circus folk sent out trained individuals to deal with the situation. However, it was too late. Her parents were gone. In a mere few hours she had become an orphan. To make matters worse, none of her remaining biological family members were willing to take her, stating she was too wild. Fortunately for her, Alexei Domashev and Anastasiya Domasheva, a couple of gypsy trick riders within the circus, were willing to take her in and raise her as their own. They were unable to bear any children of their own, so they were more than happy to treat Alexandra as their own daughter. Alexandra has lived in the Russian Imperial Circus ever since. There she has thrived. Over the years, she learned to become a trick rider, as well as being trained in the art of fighting Soulless by some of the best, most skilled warriors around. [b][color=8A2BE2]What you want for your life:[/color][/b] What does Alexandra want in life? She wants to live every moment to the full, and she hopes to make a positive impact on people's lives in the process. She wants to bring laughter and joy into people's lives. Ultimately, she wants to show people that they don't have to let their past and the status quo define who they are. The idea of meeting someone she could spent the rest of her life with and then adopting and raising an orphaned child together also appeals to her.

It was the sole time in her life that she ever lacked her usual vibrancy. The last thing she expected was to find someone who was more than willing to help her pick up the pieces of herself and to recreate herself. Anastasiya was all that and more. The woman was a mother to Alexa when Alexa needed a mother the most. For that, Alexandra will be forever grateful and forever indebted to her adoptive mother. [hr] [center][color=ed145b]❦[/color][color=red]❤[/color] [b][color=8A2BE2]Alexei Domashev[/color][/b] [color=red]❤[/color][color=ed145b]❦[/color] [i]"I am proud to call him father, and he is proud to call me daughter."[/i][/center] After the tragic demise of Alexandra's parents to the Yagababa, Alexei and his Anastasiya took the young girl in. He played a more active role in Alexandra's life than her own birth father had. Seeing as he was unable to sire children of his own, he was so thrilled to now have a daughter regardless of whether or not she was related by blood. He tried to rein in his emotions so as not to scare her, but nevertheless Alexandra could feel his immense love for her. Alexandra will be forever grateful and forever indebted to her adoptive father. [hr] [center][color=limegreen]☣[/color][color=yellow]☯[/color] [b][color=B22222]Vladimir Alexandrov[/color][/b] [color=yellow]☯[/color][color=limegreen]☣[/color] [i]"He is so vibrant! He makes me vant to sing and dance!"[/i][/center] Alexandra admires him, and she feels that he is kindred spirit. However, he doesn't seem to reciprocate her feelings. Her at times rocky relationship with his adoptive daughter, the Grand Duchess Elizaveta Romanova, seems to more often than not translate over to his relationship with Alexandra. It's a shame really. They could have quite a bit of fun together, but not everyone can handle her level of sarcasm. [hr] [center][color=limegreen]☣[/color][color=yellow]☯[/color] [b][color=a187be]Elizaveta Romanova[/color][/b] [color=yellow]☯[/color][color=limegreen]☣[/color] [i]"I like her. She's pretty."[/i][/center] Elizaveta's regal status does little to deter Alexandra from conversing with her, which therein is where the problem lies. They get along decently until Alexandra opens her big mouth and out spews her unfiltered sarcasm. The Grand Duchess does not seem to find her sarcasm quite as endearing as she would like, but so goes most of Alexandra's relationships. People tend to love her, hate her, or barely tolerate her.

They are both stubborn and have a penchant for bantering, which the combination of the two isn't always a good mix. She honestly loves to rile him up. With that said, what may start as a friendly argument can end in a full-blown fight. However, give them some space, and they will be back to normal and at it again in no time.
