In-Depth:
Appearance:
Alex is about the normal height for a girl her age, of a normal but more on the skinny side sort of a build. She has strait black and white hair that she keeps in a pony tail most of the time. She has red eyes and wears sunglasses so others can see them. As for clothes, she wears a long sleeved shirt that is black with yellow lightning bolts going down the sides, its thin and airy. Over the top of that she wears a short sleeved black coat with a yellow zipper over it. As for pants he usually wearing a pair of blue jeans.
Personality:
At first glance Alex might seem like a quiet and angry person. She doesnt like telling people about her past. She also has a nasty temper. But once you get to know her, and she can trust you she is usually quiet loud and obnoxious. Most people view her as a rather odd individual, due to her tendancy to be really a bit random in many situations. In bad situations, she always trys to find something positive, even if its the smallest thing. Even though she may seem liks a spazy teenager, she really does have a good heart and means well.
History:
Alex was born into a family that knew pretty much no alchemy, they barely knew it existed. She was born in Ishbal, in a time where there was still peace. When she was very young, but old enough to read, her parents took her to the small bookstore there was close to home so she could get a fun picture book. She wandered around and randomly pulled a book off a shelf. It was titled Alchemy for Beginners. Alex read a page, and didnt understand a world, but her heart was set on getting this book. Her parents tried to get her to forget it, but she didnt.
In her younger years, she read tons and tons of books about alchemy and how it works. Every once in awhile she would try to create something with her new found knowledge. As she got older and learned more, about the Ishbal religion, it was about the time she began noticing others changing around her as she shared her ideas of Alchemy against their religion. It got her into a lot of trouble, often forcing her parents to have to move to different parts of Ishbal.
The attack on Ishbal came as quite a shock to everybody, the military eliminated pretty much everybody in site. Alex, only ten at the time didnt really understand what was going on. She was told to run and hide, then her family was murdered before her eyes. They went after her, but when she tried to draw up a transmutation circle and mocked her, the man pulled her up from the ground by her wrist. He took out a blade and sliced off all of the fingers on her right hand then told her if she did it again, it would be her life she had to pay. Thats all she remembers from that. She was one of the few surviors, along with a man that had a scar on his face, and a couple of other kids. None of them stuck together and went their own ways.
Now Alex had nothing to do, and nowhere to go. She found a doctor in another town that bandaged her up hand and sent her on her way. There just wasnt anymore he could do for her. She ran into a man dressed in blue, they spoke for awhile and he ended up taking her in. Little did she know this man was a member of the military. The man took her to a mechanic to see getting her some fingers. It was extremely painful, but she bared through it. In the end the mechanic decided to just remove her whole hand and attach an automail one, because connecting a hand would be easier then connecting five fingers. After that he trained her in alchemy, and found she was especially gifted in lightning alchemy. He knew little of it himself, but found some books that could probably help her out.
She was almost sixteen years old when he asked her to join the military, she agreed not know that they were the very ones who had murdered her family. They were especially hard on her in the state alchemist test. But somehow she passed. For the year she was in the military she went out on various missions and did the dirty work the higher officers didnt feel like doing. The man that took her in asked if she was from Ishbal, she told him she was, and he didnt know how to respond. Alex, curious to know why he acted so oddly went to investigate. She snuck into one of the higher officers rooms one night and found a file. She learned they were the ones who led the attack and killed everybody.
Alex confronted the man that took her in and asked if he was a part of the attack, he told her he had gotten into the military a day or two before he found her wandering around. She was relieved, but it didnt stop her from leaving. She took her military pocket watch with her.
She decided against revenge since they had somewhat accepted her, besides she would probably be killed if she did anything anyways. She valued her life more then her revenge. Ever since she has been traveling the world, practicing her alchemy and slowly getting better at it. Shes far from being a master, but its nothing she isnt willing to work for.
