Personality:

Alexandra is a kind soul. She never wishes harm to anyone, and always tries to do good and not be a burden to people. She is timid, sticking to herself, especially in big crowds and public spaces. She loves her small friend circle, not needing many other people though she is always interested in meeting new people which is quite a bit difficult for her when she is so timid.

Besides this Alexandra can be quite stubborn and sometimes musters up enough courage to talk back to someone, especially at work when someone jokes about her capabilities and that she is not good at it. Alexandra is adventurous, curious, and creative too.

When it comes to emotions Alexandra is very good at shutting people out. This habit developed when her mother was sick and she did not want to be a burden to her brothers. In the years after it only got worse to the point she would not talk about what was wrong in the moment. Alexandra does try though with the people she cares about.

Scars:

One long scar on her hip from a cut that Alexandra got after falling out of a tree.

Tattoos:

None

Likes:

The smell of fresh sheets, listening to the rain, reading a book with a cup of tea, tending to plants, having fun with friends, coffee shops, traveling, shopping, Christmas, winter, and fall, pasta, wine.

Dislikes:

Rude clients, rude people in general, people underestimating her, wet clothes, people not valuing her work, sweating, doing laundry, swimming, being talked about behind her back.

Flaws:

Too sweet/timid for her good sometimes, easily closes up when something is wrong/not asking for help, not able to speak in front of large groups of people.

Fears:

Losing the family and friends she has found over the past few years, never finding genuine love, standing in front of big crowds, drowning.

Family:

Mother, Frida Hughes, 48, deceased, good relationship.

Father, James Hughes, 50, alive, bad relationship.

Brother, Damian Hughes, 29, alive, good relationship.

Brother, Kai Hughes, 33, alive, good relationship. 

Background:

Alexandra had an eventful youth. Her first ten years were spent having fun with her older brothers, playing in the garden, and going out for sweets or ice cream. Where her father was distant her mother was present. She always came up with fun activities and would often take Alexandra and her brothers to their grandparents, family, and friends. 

After that things changed. Her mother got sick and instead of taking care of her mother and Alexandra and her brothers, Alexandra's father only got more absent. He worked every day and did not come home until late hours. It took a while but like her brothers Alexandra would become more distant with her father about it, worsening their relationship which was already on edge. 

After her mother's death, her older brothers took care of her, more so than they had done when their mother had been sick. Not wanting to be a burden Alexandra tried to do as much as she could herself. She worked hard at school and did not get into trouble or mix with the wrong people. The hard work in school paid off and she was off to secretary school. With her diploma she went off to New York City, reassuring her brothers she would be alright.
