Character Description:
A fairly nondescript young lady, she had thick black hair that fell past her shoulders. It was normally worn natural with loose waves, though it was straightened sometimes. Her hazel eyes - which were sadly more brown than green, were framed by long lashes with perpetual dark circles underneath. She was short and thin, but not of the athletic sort. Alexandria's lips were a little too full for her face, and the combination of her features left her merely average-looking, neither a bombshell nor an abomination.
Personality/Beliefs Outline:
Bookworm by day, prankster by night.
Lex looked the part of a mousy little push-over who would always back down from a fight. Too bad the girl had a bit of spitfire in her. This usually wasn't witnessed, because she enjoyed playing the part that was expected of her. Revenge would come in a much trickier form, one that wouldn't sully her reputation if she could help it. Luckily for those who would make themselves enemies, she has a long fuse. Alexandria would much rather be peaceful, if not a bit mischievous. Her view of the world was sometimes questionable, and her emphasis on her cultivated image was a little odd. Whether she was a wallflower to avoid being noticed, or projecting the idea that she was a wallflower while contradicting the connotations that came with it to get attention was unknown. The girl was at least tolerant, if not outright friendly, to most, though her friendships were usually one-sided and forged for some sort of ulterior motive.
Background
Mother: Katarina M. Grey, 40, Nurse
Father: Samuel A. Grey, 47, Engineer
Siblings: Eden I. Grey, 10, Muggle Student
Country of Origin: England
Heritage: Half-Blood
History:
Alexandria grew up in a fairly normal household. Her father worked as an engineer, while her mother was a nurse at St. Mungo's. Early childhood for her was possibly the best. Her witch mother spent long hours at the hospital, and so her first memories were of her father sitting down and working with complex formulas and strange blueprints. He always jokingly told her that he and a few others of the same profession were the reason the world worked. It was from him she gained a joy of learning and discovering. His job of coming up with solutions was something she caught on to, as well.
Samuel Grey was a practical man, however, and once Alexandria began to display any magical prowess, his affections waned a bit. He shifted more of his attention to her younger sister, Eden. This was the start of Alex's troublesome streak. Luckily, her mother went on hiatus to help raise Eden, who took after their Muggle father. Alex was able to spend more time with her mother, who taught her more about her magical heritage and made sure the girl felt proud to be a witch, instead of embarrassed.
Now that she is off at Hogwarts, she visits home for the occasional holiday, but generally prefers to spend her time in the castle. Her younger sister is envious that she is merely a Muggle, and knows that Alex is upset over her father's favoritism. This is a fact that Eden flaunts whenever possible. Katarina acts as peacekeeper in the Grey household - when she's actually home.
Edit: Changed her eye color from grey to hazel because her last name is Grey and the coincidence bothered me xD
