Alexandra Ann Mitchell
« on: January 22, 2012, 08:45:03 AM »


Name:Alexandra Ann Mitchell (Alex)
Age [appearance]: 23
Age [actual]: 23
Gender: Female
Species: Human
 
Hair: Alex's hair is naturally a dark brown. She dyes it dark blonde, and has done so since she was a teenager. It is currently shoulder length, and for practicality reasons kept in a ponytail.
Eyes: She has deep green eyes that are rather large.
Frame:  She stands at about five foot five inches, and carries a healthy weight. She has never given into the preasure of the skinny model look. However, she is not big. The term full figured is a good middle ground.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: Her face and pale skin freckle easily in the sun.
 
Personality: Alex is what southern men call a "loaded pistol." She is firey and stubburn as a rock. She likes to get her way and could care less what others think about it. She is a trully independant woman, and does not need a man to take care of her. She also has a motherly side. She likes to take care of people younger than her and has always put herself into this role. This may have something to do with her being a big sister. All her fire and rage go away when she's with her little brother. She feels it is her sworn duty to take care of him. She has few fears, and fights to have recognition from men. She is straight as an arrow, but do to her ball busting atitude and lack of femeine manners most people think she is a lipstick lesbian. Alex is also a fighter. Her main weakness is that her harshness leads people to think she's cruel or unfeeling. She can be very intimidating but it is not in her nature to hurt other people. 
 
History: Alexandra was born September 9th, 1988 in Leon Valley, Texas. She was born to Diane and Philip Mitchell and was the older sister of Bryant Mitchell. Her father was a nightclub musician and her mother was going through college to get a degree in education. Alex and her little brother were very close as children. Alex is only one year older than Bryant, so at a very young age they became good friends. Living in small town Texas was fun for the kids. Bryant and Alex played all day in the fields and pastures and even rode horses. They had a dream childhood. When Alex was 13,she and her brother awoke one night to find their mother being fed upon by a vampire. The vampire in question left the children alive but watching their poor mother die scarred them both for life. Their dad started dating a few years later and he eventually remarried around Alex's nineteenth birthday. Her stepmother was a woman named Laura. While attending high school Alex met a man named Dustin and started a romantic relationship with him. Alex became concerned for her brother when she found out he was using drugs as a means to cope with his queer sexuality. Alex intervened and sent Bryant to rehab and told him she loved him, and that he being gay didn't change anything. After getting out of rehab Bryant left for the city, and Alex and Dustin got engaged. The virus hit Leon Valley the week of Alex's wedding, and she was forced to kill a zombie version of Dustin. Although it broke her heart she knew it was the right thing to do. She carved out a living, watched as everyone she knew was consumed by the virus. Now she is all alone. She only hopes her brother still lives and her quest is to reunite with him if he is still alive.

Occupation/Job: Photographer. She still has her camera and is always on the lookout for battires. She wants to do a piece on the zombiemania if mankind wins out.
 
Awareness of Vampires: Met Scott Pierce. Her mother was also killed by a vampire which she remembers plain as day.
Knowledge of Zombies: She hates them with a passion. She knows how to kill them and how the plauge is spread.

Interesting Facts / Quirks: Alex was the best shot in her whole family. Dustin resented that his woman was a superior marksman. Her shooting is so good, that she can hit a flying sparrow in mid flight from a medium distance. Her weapon of choice is a double barrel shotgun, named Lucy.
 
Hobby/Hobbies: Photography, art, indie music, fashion, stuffed animals, guns, hunting, and camping.
 
Likes: Food, guns, her brother, solitude, booze and children

Dislikes: Zombies, the plague, pigs, magic, vampires, misogynists, snakes
 
Strength: Alex's great strength is that she is a survivor. Her skills with a bow, guns, snares, climbing and camping have mad her an ideal person to navigate zombie world. She also refuses to die no matter what. This is crucial, as many people gave themselves over to the plague when they felt hope was all gone.   

Weakness/Flaw: She is lonely. Being in a committed relationship since high school made her unable to be alone. She needs people more than the average girl. Being alone makes her cry.
