Alexander has such a large capacity for kindness that he is not afraid to show, but at the same time maintains a persona of seriousness to keep his father at ease.
Unlike his free spirited and carefree sister, Grace, Alexander is very practical and straightforward with nearly everything he approaches. As a child his father called him 'little hawk', his eyes could see things that no one else could and he was very keen on his intentions. Saying that Alex doesn't relish in the idea of risk and adventure is a stretch but he believes that there are times when things need to be handled in a constructive manner.
Often Alexander can be a bit close-minded and stubborn but none of it is ever really intentional on his part. Due to the constant amounts of stress placed on him by his father he can sometimes shut others out in not the most ethical of ways when he is upset. He is not destructive in this manner but sometimes he can be shown to hurt other's feelings with this side of him.
He has a natural, playful demeanor once he gets to know someone. He likes to joke around and it's odd if he can't make someone chuckle at least once during their conversation. Despite trying to distance himself from people emotionally, it's safe to say Alex becomes attached rather easily. It doesn't take him long to grow a bond with someone, and that's when the protectiveness sets in. Alex is protective without fault. He would defend someone he cared about with his last breath if it came to that.
Deep down any outsider can see that Alexander has the making to be a great and just leader in the world. He will lay his life on the line to save or help nearly anyone he comes across, human or creature. He couldn't couldn't count on one hand the amount of reckless decisions he's made because of how selfless he is. However, when it comes down to it he will make hard decisions to protect that of his family and the ones he truly cares about.
Now being reckless does have to have a certain bravery aspect to it. For a man of such pent up emotion, he has little fear in the trials that are placed before him. His bravery is quite unmatched when it comes to others. He'd run into the mouth of the Beast for the greater good.
xxdislikes.xxThere's nothing more Alex hates than bullies and bigots. With his experiences of being bullied as a kid he will always stand up to defend someone in need. Alex hates the smell of cigarette smoke and doesn't understand the appeal that smoking has, with people knowing the consequences it has on their health. He cannot stand the thought of liars, and Alexander isn't a fan of people who boast.

Alexander Joshua Cartwright was born on a small farm in the middle of nowhere Kansas on a sunny July day. His parents, Joshua and Lynette were high school sweethearts that got married right after their senior year. It was what almost everyone did in the town of Topeka. Joshua took over his families farm, and Lynette was a teacher at the local elementary.
Alexander wasn't a mistake necessarily but he was exactly planned either. His father was weary of his son's birth but his mother was ecstatic the moment she laid eyes on his baby blues. Alexander was an excitable child, running rampant among the farm, riding horses and scaring the chickens. When he was ten his father decided to start putting him to work, against his mother's wishes. Alex loved his father, but there relationship was very strained. By the time his sister, Grace, was born Alex had become a little worker. His father taught him how to be an adult at thirteen. Part of him is grateful for how mature this made him out to be, but he is also sad he missed out on a lot of being a 'kid'. Sports in high school was his big escape. Practice gave him time away from the farm and it was something he was really good at.
When he graduated he was given a full ride to Wichita State University for football, where he is currently a student studying business. However, on the time he is a volunteer firefighter. Deep down, Alexander can't help but feel like there is something missing from his life, a greater purpose, a bigger meaning.
