Personality: Alexis prides herself in being a noble of the old stock, back when nobles were meant to actually protect the people instead of manipulating and toying with them like she has seen so many of her peers do. As a "proper" noble she remains loyal to the empire and its emperor, its traditions, its laws and its people. 

As befitting of a noble, she will act with courtesy to both friend and enemy, although it is very possible that courtesy will be hiding deep contempt - especially for organizations such as night raid. She is friendly and polite to most she will meet and will attempt to be as reasonable as possible with men and women of lesser station.

She holds no hostility towards the rebellion itself, personally having accepted it as a failure of the nobility to protect their people to the point where they most likely had to take up arms in self defence. However, she still holds emperor, empire and law above personal feelings. 

Personal History: Born as a noble, Alexis had more rights than 90% of the population. She had wealth, she had affluence, she had comfort and she had luxury. She had the finest clothes, the finest food, the finest housing, everything befit of her birthright as a noble. However, as time went on Alexis came to the uncomfortable realization that she did not necessarily [i]earn [/i]her comfort; her better lifestyle.

In exchange for their grand lifestyles, nobles were supposed to do the enlightened, educated tasks that the lesser peasants were supposed to be incapable of doing. They were supposed to be the leaders, the administrators, the generals, the example. However, all she noticed she and her fellow nobles were doing were sitting on their butts even as talk of rebellion began, ever since the rise of prime minister honest. 

Refusing to allow herself to fall into idleness, Alexis enlisted in the Imperial Army - not using her wealth to buy a commission as a high ranking officer but instead forcing herself to rise through the ranks on her own strength and skill. Serving in the Empire's army through several tribal uprisings, she served with bravery and distinction, often serving as an example to her fellow soldiers - just as a noble should. She finally became a commissioned officer and was given command of a small contingent of soldiers with whom she fought in a few more small campaigns before she was ordered to an obscure garrison. Unbeknownst to her, she had been caught up in a tide of politics and the capital had suspicions about her attitude, taking steps to stonewall Alexis' career with an obscure posting. 

Seemingly doomed to spend the rest of her career as the commander of a small garrison, nevertheless Alexis went about her work diligently. Refusing any deals with the rebellion, she ensured that the garrison was constantly up to standard - striving it and its soldiers to exceed it - and as a result unlike much of the imperial army Alexis' garrison had become a strong, committed fighting force. It was around this time, when General Budo took a tour of inspection of the garrison, that she caught the General's notice. Taking note of Alexander's efficiency and reading the reports of her actions early in her career, the General invited her back to the Capital as part of the Rangers, an offer Alexis accepted. 

Skills: 

Staff Officer - having served as the commander of a garrison for a short time, Alexis is a skilled staff officer, well versed in running the day-to-day administrative and logistical tasks of keeping a fighting force fed, equipped and trained. She is also a veteran of small scale command and is able to recognize/take initiative if necessary. 

Spearwoman - Starting her career off in the Imperial Mounted Cavalry, Alexis is extremely skilled in wielding a spear, both on foot and mounted. Although she is able to use a sword to fight, she is much more comfortable and used to fighting with a spear.  

Danger Beast Rider - As an (former) officer of the Imperial Mounted Cavalry Corps, Alexis rides a Wyvern-type Danger Beast who she names "Airick." Although she is used to riding horses as well, she works the best with Airick, who is capable of making both groundside, running and airborne, flying charges. Airick is also capable of firebreathing.
