*Edit: I re-did a couple things about Alexis she is no longer a cop and instead a reporter! There are also some little things about her personality that changed and some parts of her bio! 

[b]Name:[/b] Alexis Marie Darwin

[b]Alias/Nickname:[/b] She was given the nickname “Lexi” by her parents when she was just a kid, she hated the 'flighty' sounding name and often her older brothers would use it to torment and annoy her. Only those closest to her still call her Lexi. 

[b]Age:[/b] 32

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=picture][IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/2a77ucl.jpg[/IMG][/hider]

[b]Occupation:[/b] Reporter

[i]Family/Friends[/i]
[b]Mother:[/b] Jane Elizabeth Carter-Darwin (62, decased. Retired medical practitioner)

[b]Father:[/b] Philip James Darwin (63, lives Minnesota with his new wife Shelley. Retired medical practitioner)

[b]Siblings:[/b] Tobias James Darwin (35, married and living in Ontario, Canada with his wife and three kids. Works as an architect), Carter Lucas Darwin (33, living up the bachelor lifestyle. He has lived in LA for a little over ten years and is a very successful director)

[b]Partner:[/b] Her marriage ended quite messily and very abruptly, leaving Alexis shaken and even fearful. 

[b]Friend/s:[/b] As a kid, Alexis had her share of friends, even though they mostly liked her because she had money. Now, she prefers spending time by herself or working. Therefore, Alexis doesn’t necessarily have ‘friends’, mostly just acquaintances who she will sometimes pass the time with. 

[i]General Information[/i] 
[b]Current Goal:[/b] Trying to further herself in her career, no matter what the cost. Also trying to work through and get over some personal trauma that proves most difficult to “get over”.

[b]Talents:[/b] Alexis is a very talented writer. As a child she dreamed of being an author, a dream that she still someday wishes to fulfill. She is also very musically inclined and is quite knowledgeable. 

[b]Fears:[/b] Herself. Alexis is scared of her own feelings, thoughts and desires. The last time she let her fanatical wants control her, Alexis was hurt pretty badly. She does not want to go back to that vulnerable state that she has finally (somewhat) escaped from. She also fears betrayal, more then anything else, and will stop at nothing to protect herself from it.

[b]Personality:[/b] Amiable, eloquent, cunning and bold. Alexis Darwin is, on the outside, a perfect example of what a reporter should be. She is dedicated to her work and to giving a story that is both informative and engrossing. However, off the screen she has a wall that she puts around herself. Alexis doesn’t allow people to get to know more then her surface personality. Because of this, people will often find her cold and angry when they try to get to know her more. Suiting, really, because Alexis is a remote person who can’t stand other people seeing her weaknesses and flaws. Her fear of letting other people in certainly protects her from the turmoil that some people can cause, yet it does nothing when it comes to forming friendships. Instead of trying to make friends, Alexis buries herself in work as a way to escape from her darkest, most unpleasant secrets. 

[b]Inner Personality:[/b] Despite her chilling persona, a desperate, heart broken woman lives inside Alexis. A woman who craves the attention and love that was deprived from her during her awful marriage. She wants to let everything out, to tell people everything about her life and explain to them why it is that she has to be so distant, but if she did that she would be exposing herself to pain and betrayal by those she opens up to. Her fear of betrayal is worse then her need of companionship, so she keeps all her feelings hidden deep within herself. 

[b]Secret:[/b] Alexis’ most haunting secret is in all ways related to her last, and only, relationship. Her husband, a seemingly kind, gentle and perfect man, was abusive, mean-spited and down right awful. The reason that this has been kept a secret for her is because the one time she managed to build up the courage to tell her mom, Alexis was told to “get over it” and “suck it up”. She had to coach herself through leaving him and making a new life for herself. 

[b]Biography:[/b] Alexis had a very normal childhood. Her parents had waited until later on in life to start a family, so that by the time kids rolled around everything would be financially stable and their children would never have to suffer. What Mr. And Mrs. Darwin never anticipation was the petty jealousy of young girls, and even though Alexis may of had every material good a child could ever want, she still longed for a true friend who didn’t pretend to like her because her family had money. Yet, Alexis grew accustomed to the fake, spitefulness of her peers and chose to tough it out. She forced herself to make friends, unfortunately hers were the kind that you had to watch out for or else they would stab a knife in your back without a second thought. Alexis suffered through high school, thanks to a very kind psychiatrist who loved to dole out pills for all sorts of [i]marvelous[/i] illnesses that Alexis apparently had, and in her graduating year she found her passion in writing and reporting. 

This is when Alexis’ life took a turn, in her first year of college she met a kind, funny and handsome man named Oliver Williams. The two quickly fell in love, and their whirlwind romance concluded in a picture perfect wedding only three months later. Everything happened quickly, and no one ever questioned the motives behind Oliver’s actions. To everyone in Alexis’ life, he was exemplary. However, Alexis soon learned that this was not the case. After a year of post-marital bliss, Oliver changed. It started out small, he would fume over things like the quality of their diner or if Alexis put things in the “wrong” place. Over the course of their ten year marriage Oliver’s small fits of anger turned into burst of violence and rage. He made his wife feel weak, powerless, inconsequential. He controlled who she saw, what she did and the last straw for Alexis was when he tried to make her quit her job. Alexis was finally at a good place in her career, which had been unstable before she was hired by a magazine company based out of her home town, She was proud and happy about her accomplishment, that is until Oliver told her that she must quit her job. There was no room for debate, especially after Oliver’s fists came into play. That night Alexis packed up a small suitcase and left, scared and broken. She spent the night at a dingy motel, not getting a wink of sleep because all she could imagine was Oliver, bursting through that door and dragging her back home. Fortunately that never happened. The next morning Alexis quit her beloved new job and moved far away. Luckily something was finally going her way and Alexis got a job at a low budget newspaper company that reported on all of the town's news. Although it wasn't much, Alexis was fine with it, at least it was far away from her ex-husband and she at least had the distance as a barrier.

The calls, emails, texts and letters that she had consistently received from her tormentor stopped almost a year ago, however Alexis still lives her life constantly on edge, never quite feeling safe.
