She has short blonde hair which is tied in a bun regularly, when she isn't in a suit she is adorned in mobile infantry fatigues. Her fatigues appears to be well in order, creased and clean as well. Her skin tone is fair, while it compliments her blue eyes she always stood in a firm and attentive stance. Her hands are usually by her sides and rarely in her pockets, her boots - black in nature are shined to a fine finish. [/list] [hr] [center][b]BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE, AND PERSONALITY[/b][/center] Rather cold and to the point, Alex usually distances herself from closer relationships with others. She isn't one to get attached or to form deep connections with others. Dedicated to her work as a trooper she lacks ample time to indulge in social escapades. Relying on herself she is often found reading or by herself. The odd one out, she's neither liked or hated by most and she enjoys the neutral disposition. The reason some theorize why she may be so distance is due to her head one approach to soldiering if you don't get close to anyone then when you lose them to war won't hurt as much. Something she already experienced when she deployed on Markos V during the aftermath of losing the battle. Potentially she didn't have as many friends as others did in the civilian life, probably because focusing on studies and work was more important than forming connections. Something that would resonate with a careerist family such as the Fusco's failure wasn't really an option. Success banked on results and when you weren't creating results, you weren't doing anything useful at all. While unintentionally isolationist Alex focuses more so on succeeding, especially with the defeat at Markos V Alex feels like she needs to redeem herself. She can work with a team but outside of that she is more into personal development than socializing, introvertism comes naturally to Alex. [hr] Born into a military family Alex Fusco only ever saw Military Service as a way to make herself known to the Republic of Terra. Her family wasn't affluent, they too served to become a citizen of the Republic and it was Alex's duty to do the same. With the ever-looming threat of the Federation forces, there was an ever-increasing amount of positions within the Armed forces. Someone had to fill the boots of the last guy, and Alex would be one of the many to do so. Boot camp was grueling, as it was designed to be. Alex was an average soldier and pushed through the boot camp without much to note. However, due to an unforeseen circumstance - Erik Edwards, a renegade, and leader wrapped up into one - boot camp didn't seem as bad as it was to start. With the guidance and leadership of Edwards, Alex's platoon was led to success with his leadership and charisma. Personally, she held disdain when he was put through OCS. While her feelings to Edwards are mixed, especially to his sense of humor. It would be an ironic reality to see him lead Erik's Eagles when she was transferred from her previous unit. It would be on Markos V, Alex's first that she'd taste the thrill and horrors of combat. Death and despair were what the whole operation was, it was a failure and one that could cost a lot of brass their hats. The drop was off, sloppy, the unit wasn't organized. Communications broke down and the Feds came out, soldiers were slaughtered like fish. Some formed into groups and fought off what they could, of course, Alex was involved with one of these holdouts. Fighting for every inch, the troopers pressed on into the hordes of the Federation soldiers. In the end, Alex and a few from her company survived - some paperwork later and the flag and insignia of the company were folded up and retired for better or worse. Later on in the war the ceasefire would be signed, Alex would transfer out of her holding platoon and be placed into ODIN training only upon completion find out she'd be working with the Republic's former enemies to take on a new threat. Maybe for the greater good. Maybe.

She is clearly a lady of refinement and grace, so it is incongruous to see on her left hand a bird trained to hunt and kill on command. Falconry is an unusual hobby for a gentlewoman, but it is the key to the special nature of this card. On one hand, the Nine of Pentacles represents all that is most gracious, high-minded and civilized. Art, music and other forms of beauty are very much part of our physical world. Coins are present in this scene, but they are toward the ground. The business of life is important, but we don't have to focus on practical matters all the time. We can also enjoy the finer things of life. In readings, the Nine of Pentacles can imply an interest in these areas. It is also a sign that you may need to reject the coarse or offensive and seek the highest. The Nine of Pentacles can also be a sign of discipline and self-control. This woman enjoys her cultured life because she has mastered her baser instincts. Her impulses work for her because they do not rule her. The falcon symbolizes all that is dark and unruly in human nature. Our shadow side can serve us well, but only when it is directed. Sometimes the Nine of Pentacles suggests that you must show restraint and self-control if you are to achieve your best efforts. You may have to "sacrifice" for the moment, but the results will be worth it. [/center] [/hider]
