"There is a reason the worst storms are named after women."
Appearance:
Lex is somehow both intimidating and non-threatening, depending on how she wants to come across. At 5'6", neither impression is affected by her height. Day-to-day, she's rather unthreatening. Her dark brown hair is either pulled into a ponytail or hidden under a beanie, and she has to wear glasses in most of her lectures. Her style can only be described as hipster- she lives in checked shirts, skinny jeans, combat boots, and beanies. While this doesn't disguise her curvy build, it also doesn't flaunt it. She does wear makeup day-to-day, but it's usually subtle and unremarkable. Most make the mistake of overlooking her- until they hear of her results or dare to get into a debate with her.
However, when Lex wants to look intimidating, she can. She has yet to find a pair of heels she can't walk in, and isn't afraid to reach for them. Rather than disguise her femininity, she plays it up. She flaunts her figure, she curls her hair, and she breaks out her red lipstick. She dresses of success- if she wants to win a guy, it's close-fitting dresses. If she wants to win a debate, it's a tailored suit. She knows all of her physical strengths and isn't afraid to flaunt them.
Thoughts On Greek Life:
When Lex entered Fulton, she was a loud-mouthed teenager with a superiority complex. She'd originally sneered at sororities. However, on joining Theta Chi, that quickly changed. She learned the value of girls supporting girls, and now she's closer with some of her sorority sisters than her actual biological sister. She'd recommend it in a heartbeat to any freshman. She adores the events, the community aspect, and the people she shares her sisterhood with.
Ambitions:
It's not hard to guess Lex's ambitions by looking at her major and minor. She wants to be a human rights lawyer. She specifically wants to help girls in developing countries and defend their right to education. She'd be willing to dedicate her life to that cause.

Quirks//Habits//Oddities:
She feels naked unless she's wearing mascara and lipstick, even on her low-maintenance days. She always taps her pen or pencil against her lips when she's thinking. She almost always has a bottle of water and gum on her person. She always, always wears matching socks.
Good Personality Traits:
Loyal || Supportive || Hardworking || Loving || Determined
Bad personality traits:
Stubborn || Hot-headed || Vicious || Manipulative || Confrontational
Personality:
At first, one would not guess Theta to be Lex's sorority. Lex isn't shy in the slightest- in fact, she feels most confident when speaking in front of a crowd. She's certainly not afraid to speak her mind. She doesn't shy away from confrontation or trouble. If anything, she embraces it with open arms. She was captain of the debating team in both her junior and senior years of high school, and with good reason. She's intelligent, well-spoken, and well able to formulate an opinion. She doesn't believe in making herself smaller to fit the mold or to make other people happy. If she doesn't know you, but you stand in the way of her success, then she'll tear you down to get what she wants. If she knows you and doesn't like you, hiding is probably the best option. If she likes you... Well, you're safe, but that's not to say she won't figure out how to get her way. She's manipulative, willing to bend people to her will. Her temper is hot, and she'll only play clean if you do. She'll do something just because someone told her she couldn't, purely just to spite them.
However, there's no denying that she does show some of the key traits of a Theta, and outside of a debate or any situation that could be considered competitive, she's one of the sweetest people you could hope to meet. She doesn't believe in tearing other girls down out of jealousy or anything similar, and much prefers to help out her fellow sisters. If Lex is your friend, then you've got a friend for life- or at least until you seriously mess up. With her brains, she could coast along without too much work- but that's not her way. She works hard, but she plays hard as well. She's incredible fun to have on a night out, but knows exactly when to stop. She's always willing to help out someone in need, whether it's with a ride somewhere or help with assignments. She's passionate, and when she gets excited about something, it's verging on infectious. When she loves, she loves deeply. When she's your friend, she's one of the best friends you could hope for. She's the type of person to take random selfies and photos with her best friends, just so she has mementos of her college years and of her college friends.
Greatest joys in life:
Greatest fears:
More than anything, Lex fears being mundane. She fears being stuck in some office somewhere, unable to help anyone or do anything she loves.
Deep water also frightens her, even though she can swim.
Life philosophy:
"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." -Christopher Reeve

History:
Lex has heard story after story about how her friends' parents were high school sweethearts, prom king and queen, and then got married as soon as they graduated college. She, however, much prefers the story of how her parents met. They were opposite sides from the country, yet happened to go to the same college. They shared no classes. Their first interaction was when Victoria Sawyer, Lex's mom, had to drag two guys off of Thomas Pearson and then patch him up after a protest had turned nasty. Being a pre-med student, Thomas had talked her through the whole thing, while Victoria, a business student, had to confront her dislike of needles and blood. That conversation was the beginnings of a lifelong friendship that just so happened to develop into a romantic relationship.
Both Thomas and Victoria were activists, and while they stopped attending protests when they graduated and became successful adults, both still stuck to the causes they were passionate about. Both donated to a number of charities once they were earning enough to do so without endangering their own needs, and both fundraised for the same charities at a number of points in their respective careers.
Lex's older sister, Maggie, was born when Thomas was 31 and Victoria 29. They instantly fell in love with her, and instead of hiring nannies or other people to look after her, they both rearranged their schedules to allow one or the other of them to look after her. The same happened when Lex was born. Letting other people look after their kids was never an option for the Pearsons.
With two activists as parents, it was no surprise that Lex developed an interest in human rights. Maggie took after her father and went on to become a doctor, but Lex knew that she didn't want to be a doctor. Maggie was so good with people- she was kind, gentle, and patient, if a little bit of a pushover. Lex, while sharing some of her sister's good traits, was the opposite. A master at debating, somebody jokingly suggested law to her. However, that was an idea that took root in her mind. By her sophomore year, her mind was made up.
With a leading surgeon as a father and a highly successful businesswoman as a mother, money was never an issue for Lex. However, she still received a number of scholarship offers, and considered a great many of them. However, she eventually decided on Fulton, one of the few colleges that hadn't actually offered her an academic scholarship. The school's facilities were too great to ignore, and the name itself would get her places. The fact that she could minor in human rights just sealed the deal.
The only reason she considered rushing for Theta at first was to get access to their library. She had no huge interest in Greek life- however, on meeting and hanging out with the Theta girls, she realised that it wasn't what she'd been lead to expect. The girls were so wonderful and friendly, and she instantly wanted to surround herself with those kinds of girls. So she rushed for Theta and hasn't looked back since.
