She generally donned her circus attire at all times of the day, sometimes even when she wasn't physically at the circus. For the time period she lived in, her personal style was more out of the box and ultimately did not conform to what was seen as socially acceptable. Skirts were optional as far as she was concerned. Instead she generally wore stockings and a short pair of bloomers coupled with tall riding boots. She wore a loose shirt that was often tied at the bottom. Over that she liked to wear a gypsy coin vest. As far as jewelry goes, she liked to wear coin necklaces and earrings. Additionally, she liked to wear accessories like flowers or ribbons in her hair, which was usually kept up and out of her face. Overall, her style often had a gypsy like quality to it. With that said, she liked the colors red and black, but she would 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. [b][color=8A2BE2]Habits:[/color][/b] [list][*] Making sarcastic remarks [*] Rolling her eyes [*] Making a face [/list] [b][color=8A2BE2]Hobbies:[/color][/b] [list][*] Archery [*] Thrill seeking [*] Dancing [/list] [b][color=8A2BE2]Religion:[/color][/b] Alexandra's birth parents were fairly religious Orthodox Jews. With that in mind, she does believe in a God and an afterlife. However, after her parents were murdered, leaving her an orphan, she lapsed. Her trust in God was shaken, and she understandably pulled away from him. Her adoptive parents were not religious folk, so she never really did pick up were she left off. Perhaps though this second chance at life will change things for her.

I mean at least it vas not your run-of-the-mill type of death. No one can ever accuse me of being dull, or worse yet average, in either life or nov in death. After all, hov many people can say they vere having a causal conversation and then [b]BAM[/b] beheading by a runaway guillotine blade. It vas totally sick! I don't knov vhether to be horrified or to simply praise fate for a job vell done. I just cannot vrap my head around what happened. Heheh, head. I knov I must sound like a total psycho making jokes about something as messed up as my death vas. But the truth is I just don't knov hov else to process it. If I can't joke about it, then it vill destroy me. I vas young--and foolish, I might add. Yet I had so much more to offer the vorld, surely? Vell, there is no use in harping on it. If I knov anything about the past, it is that it doesn't have to define you. Learn from your mistakes, and better yourself for the future because you don't alvays get second chances."[/I] [b][color=8A2BE2]What Brought You Here:[/color][/b] [I]"Vhy am I here? They took pity on me? They ran out of sarcastic fools in this place? I don't entirely knov vhy. I vas an orphan girl who sought out the safety of the Russian Imperial Circus. I could barely go tvo seconds vithout dishing out sarcasm or making some kind of ill-advised joke. A second chance at life certainly isn't going to change that. Yet a part of me vould like to think that I am here because of my birth parents. That somevhere beyond the grave they are still looking out for me. Maybe I am here because of them and for them. I've seen and experienced things that no kid should ever have to. I've been through hell, and I survived. Perhaps I am here to help guide someone else out of their ovn hell. Perhaps I am here to make a difference, something death had robbed me of. There is more to me than a bucket full of sarcasm in your face, and it is about time I shov it."[/I] [b][color=8A2BE2]Does your character want peace:[/color][/b] [I]"Do I vant peace? Pfft, peace is overrated. This is a second chance at life, and I intend to make the most of it. Sure, I vant adventure, but above all, I vant to make a difference. I vant to be someone my parents vould be proud of. And one day, vhen I am a better person and vhen the world is a better place, I vant to see them again. But until then, let's get this shov on the road!"[/I] [hr][center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/xUOxf0pHfj2Y2WiiVq/giphy.gif[/img][hr][h3][b][i][color=8A2BE2]Extras[/color][/i][/b][/h3] [/center] [b][color=8A2BE2]Character Quote:[/color][/b] [list][*] "Sarcasm--because beating the crap out of people is illegal."
