⛦ Title(s): ---
⛦ Gender: Female
⛦ Height: 157 cm
⛦ Age: 20 years
⛦ Alignment: Balanced Good
⛦ Rank:—X X X—
⛦ Objective for the Grail: Nothing particular, really. She'll come up with something if she wins.
⛦ Personality & Bio: A rather nice person for a magus. She has a good sense of humor and a hard working, studious personality. In other words, she's a pretty run-off-the-mill person who just happens to do magic for a living.
She's a child from a family, or rather a coalition, of mages that is only tangentially connected to the Association. They practice classic alchemy but don't deal with things like Magical Crests. Their thought process is that depending on Crests (and a heavy dose of inbreeding to keep their blood "pure") is why the Clock Tower mages lose their power at a rate that far exceeds that of places like Atlas and traditional practitioners who pass on their knowledge to the next generations through actual study and tutoring.
Since the faculties that they have the best relations with are Animusphere and Norwich, they usually send a few promising youths to study at those factions of the Clock Tower. Alexa specifically spent a lot of time in the Astromancy department, making extensive uses of their equipment. Whenever she wasn't doing that she could be found in Norwich attending lessons there.
⛦ Magic Circuit Switch: ---
⛦ Number of Magic Circuits: B
⛦ Quality of Magic Circuits: A
⛦ Elemental Affinity: Average One
⛦ Magecraft: Alexa's main talent lies in a refined general knowledge of magecraft fundamentals, particularly, alchemy and astromancy, along with related fields like numerology and geometry.
She's very well knowledgeable in transmuting and reinforcing basic elements like stone and metals, and creating bounded fields. However, as expected of someone who's focused on the fundamentals, she isn't capable of matching the power of a magus who's deep into their own family research, or a dedicated practitioner of any foundation.
Some of her signature tricks include a mastery over basic spells (usually thought to be apprentices' tools by other magi) like Flash Air and Gradation Air. She also knows how to apply Alchemy's ability to generate light and electricity offensively, condensing it in an attack similar to the infamous Finn Shot (but better since this is a direct magical energy converted to physical energy "heat" attack), which she calls Flash Bullet. A fully charged blast (i.e.: a ten-count spell) can reach temperatures in the upwards of 1500 Kelvin.
Additionally, Alexa can make use of High-Speed Incantations, as long as she keeps to the basics as well as her Light/Electricity Alchemy. You can really say that she's someone who lives and breathes by the motto of "Simple is Best."
Finally, but no less important, she has Mystic Eyes of Charm and is very good at using them.
⛦ Magic Crest: ---
⛦ Equipment: ⛦ Azoth Sword: Never underestimate the power of the basics.
⛦ Jupiter's Robe: A
set of formal wear meant to further attune and enhance Alexa's magic circuits. While the Azoth Sword is like a mana capacitor or battery, this formal wear is more like an engine, or a wearable grimoire finely attuned to her astromancy and alchemical knowledge.
⛦ Mystic Eyes Killer: A pair of glasses capable of nullifying the effects of Mystic Eyes, both those of the user and those of others.

⛦ Exceptional Benefit: ⛦ Finality (Mastery of the Fundamentals): "Mastery of the Fundamentals is the proof of one's excellence."
Through the history of the Association, not only in this one but other worlds as well, many great magi have proven that mastery over the basics is the best path a mage can follow. You should not try to bend magic energy to your will, but let it flow through you like water, shapeless, yet unconquered.
It's thanks to such a mastery over the fundamentals that Alexa can employ high-level skills like High-Speed Incantation, and make anything that's considered a fundamental technique much more useful than usual, to the point that her signature spell, Flash Bullet can match the level of power of a Finality.
