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.

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.

Alexandra knows that there is more to the woman than she lets on. After all, she's seen it for herself. She admires and respects the woman for her strength, tenacity, and wisdom. As such, she wants to learn from her just as much as she wants to be her friend. She just hopes she hasn't ruined her chances at making her proud. [hr] ♨️/🙇 [b][color=9370DB]The Cards[/color][/b] ♨️/🙇 [i]"She scares me. Like. A lot."[/i] To say Alexandra's relationship with Nancy is complicated is an understatement. It's volatile at best. The Emendator broke her, and she's still trying to put the pieces of herself back together again. She holds resentment towards the woman for doing this to her, and it took some time to see the lesson in all the madness and more so to accept it and to try to learn from it. That's not to say that she is grateful for it. She still feels like there could have been a better way. In the end, she's just trying to move on. Seeing as the life of a Paradox is essentially a team effort, she will remain loyal to the Emendator, but mind you, she'll probably never trust her. [hr] 🎆/🙇 [b][color=A0522D]The Hat[/color][/b] 🎆/🙇 [i]"I liked him, but now I'm just afraid to interact with him."[/i] Alexandra doesn't really know what to think of her relationship with Gilbert anymore. It's changed so much, at least from her perspective. She has the triple threat of her big mouth, a Soul Fracture, and The Cards to thank for that. When she first arrived in Ville au Camp, she had been goo goo eyed for him. She recognizes now that that had been a messed up soul talking. Any seeming infatuation after that had been more or less her just teasing him in an attempt to get a rise out of him, which failed mind you. During her time training with him, she grew to respect him. However, that hardly matters anymore. She's too scared to interact with him outside of business and risk saying the wrong thing and subsequently inciting the wrath of The Cards. [hr] 🎆/💛 [b][color=cca78e]The Watch[/color][/b] 🎆/💛 [i]"He was a friend when I needed a friend the most."[/i] She will be forever grateful to Gio for helping her dig herself out of that dark hole she had been thrust into. He was comforting and yet at the same time pushed her outside of her comfort zone in order to help her grow. She attributes her currently more stable mental state in large part to him. She still has a lot of healing left to do, but she is certainly better than she would have been if she had to have gone at it alone. She just prays that she doesn't get any backlash from Nancy for being friends with her bestie.

So, you could say she's cautiously optimistic? Yeah, let's just go with that. [hr] 🙇 [b][color=indianred]James Grady[/color][/b] 🙇 [i]"Can we have a do over?"[/i] The last Alexandra checked she had unintentionally insulted the man by making light of his newfound wereboar status. Then again, he did offer her food at later on, but she kind of thinks he was just trying to be nice. And after her latest scandal, she is doubtful that he will come around any time soon. [hr] ♨️ [b][color=F5A4E3]Faith Masters[/color][/b] ♨️ [i]"She clearly doesn't like me. So, I guess I'll just be over here then."[/i] Alexandra prior to the damage down to her psyche would have just said "You don't like me? Well, tough." However, in her current state of mind, she's not quite brave enough to take the risk. So, instead she figures it would be best if she just tries to steer clear of the woman. She's already got an Emendator ready to stab her in the back, or worse, if she makes one wrong move, so she really doesn't need to make an enemy out of a Paradox as well. [hr] 🌓 [b][color=9999ff]Andromeda Aldrich[/color][/b] 🌓 [i]"I don't really know her, so I don't have much of an opinion on her."[/i] Alexandra hasn't really interacted with this one, so she doesn't have much to say on their relationship, or lack thereof. With gossip and rumors abounding about her, she is doubtful that she will ever find out if she and the other Paradox could be friends. I mean, who wants to involve themselves with a walking, talking scandal after all? [hr] 👋/🙇 [b][color=97e23b]Bartholomew Rosecliff[/color][/b] 👋/🙇 [i]"I like him, but does he still like me?"[/i] Of all the other Paradoxes Alexandra had been fortunate enough to interact with, Bart was the one she clicked with the most. Unfortunately, she is not the same woman she once was and neither is her reputation. She hopes they can still become friends. If not? Well, she guesses she'll just have to learn to live with it. [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=998849]My Life Before[/color][/i][/b][/h3][hr][hr] 💞 [b][color=8A2BE2]Anastasiya Domasheva[/color][/b] 💞 [i]"I vas broken, and she made me vhole again."[/i] After the tragic demise of her parents to the Yagababa, Alexandra was left shattered. 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. Now she only wished that she did not have to leave her new mother so soon. [hr] 💞 [b][color=8A2BE2]Alexei Domashev[/color][/b] 💞 [i]"I vas proud to call him father, and he was proud to call me daughter."[/i] After the tragic demise of Alexandra's parents to the Yagababa, Alexei and his wife 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. Now she only wished that she did not have to leave her new father so soon. [hr] 🙇 [b][color=B22222]Vladimir Alexandrov [/color][/b] 🙇 [i]"He vas so vibrant! He made me vant to sing and dance!"[/i] Alexandra admired him, and she felt that he was kindred spirit. However, he never did seem to reciprocate her feelings. Her at times rocky relationship with his adoptive daughter, the Grand Duchess Elizaveta Romanova, seemed to more often than not translate over to his relationship with Alexandra. Considering the terms they left on moments prior to her unseemly death, she doubted his opinion of her would be much changed. It's a shame really. They could have had quite a bit of fun together, but not everyone could handle her level of sarcasm. [hr] 🙇 [b][color=a187be]Elizaveta Romanova[/color][/b] 🙇 [i]"I liked her. She vas pretty."[/i] Elizaveta's regal status did little to deter Alexandra from conversing with her, which therein was where the problem lied. They would get along decently until Alexandra opened her big mouth and out spewed her unfiltered sarcasm. The Grand Duchess did not seem to find her sarcasm quite as endearing as she would have liked, but so went most of Alexandra's relationships. People tended to love her, hate her, or barely tolerate her. [hr] 💛 [b][color=9e005d]Constantin Kolev[/color][/b] 💛 [i]"I could banter back and forth vith this man all day."[/i] Alexandra and Constantin had an interesting relationship to say the least. They were both stubborn and had a penchant for bantering, which the combination of the two wasn't always a good mix. She honestly loved to rile him up. With that said, what may have started as a friendly argument could end in a full-blown fight. However, give them some space, and they would be back to normal and at it again in no time.
