|Physical Description |
Alex remains at a rather average stature for her age, being around 5â10ââ. She weighs about 140 pounds. She sports the more athletic build, not being too curvy, but she still sticks out in the right places. Her skin is pale, despite her Spanish heritage, and soft to the touch, and never tans or burns. âItâs rather annoying, really.â She possesses lean muscles hidden under her smooth skin.
Her hair cascades over her shoulder blades in chocolate brown waves, reaching just above her lower back. Alex has stormy gray eyes with brilliant blue flecks in her irises. Her lips are full, and of a light pink hue.
|Personality |
Alex has the stereotypical energetic puppy attitude. Sheâs got loads of energy and that annoyingly peppy attitude. She can be seen darting about the mansion, asking people how their day was and what theyâre doing. Not to mention sheâs mega curious about anything and everything, but sheâs also rather naĂŻve and⊠in a word⊠innocent. She doesnât drink alcohol, she doesnât smoke, and she wouldnât know what you mean if you say âI did âitâ last nightâ. Might as well call it bow-chika-wow-wow. Sheâd know what you mean by that. Just to add to her inner puppy, sheâs always hungry. She loves sweets and always seems to be chewing on some sort of dessert or candy.
Alexâs passion is music. She loves modern rock and pop, and has learned to play electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums, flute, electric bass, violin and piano/keyboard. She sings beautifully and hopes to be a famous singer when she gets older. But there is one flaw in her plan for the future. She has a pretty bad case of stage fright. If ask her to sing for you, sheâll freeze up or refuse.
Just because sheâs all sweet and bubbly on the outside doesnât mean sheâs a weak fighter. Sheâs good with long range attacks and is capable of taking out many people in one shot. She can be a bit soft sometimes, but if you threaten her friends she will be ruthless and blast your ear drums. Bodily strength isnât exactly her strong suit. Sheâs lithe, naturally flexible and quick on her feet. Sheâs one of the fastest runners at the academy currently. âBesides those with super speed, obviouslyâŠâ
|Powers|
- Sound Wave Manipulation
Alex can manipulate sound waves. She can take someoneâs normal voice and project it to be louder than a racing car or alter it so they are quieter than a mouse. She can also literally mute people for short periods of time by concentrating enough. When in combat, she uses her own whistles to manipulate.
Alex can knock down one person to a whole crowd of people. But, if she were to attack less people at one time, it would be more powerful. If she were to hit one man, even at long range, it could throw them backwards a good distance and possible knock them out instantaneously. If she wanted to attack a whole group of people, it might just knock them down onto their butts and make their ears ring.
Using her powers for long periods of time can wear her out, far enough for her to pass out. But she usually just gets tired and needs some more food and some sleep. - Extreme Hearing Ability
As some sort of strange side effect when she gained her powers, her hearing was altered to be able to pick up very hushed sounds to use them. So very loud noises are one of her weaknesses. Sometimes she picks up on things she shouldnât, and that can get her into troubleâŠ
|History|
Alex was born and raised in Valencia, Spain. It is a beautiful city right on the east coast of Spain. Alexâs birth was a normal one, her mother was healthy, as was she. Alex grew up normally for the most part, her father was a well-known scientist and her mother was a journalist for the cityâs paper. Alexâs parents were almost always at work, so she usually stayed home with her Uncle Pablo. Little did she know, her uncle possessed powers just like she did.
Alexâs first clue about her powers was one day when she went to a concert with her friends. They were right at the base of the stage, and it was so loud. So loud that is was hurting Alexâs sensitive ears. Suddenly, the instruments went silent. The band was still playing, but no sound could be heard. The stage crew checked the amps, but nothing was wrong. Alex and her friends decided to bail. They had just stepped off the lot when the band began playing again. Alex and her friends were all confused, but they just left anyways.
It was another time in her life that her powers seemed to show through. She was in school, her chin resting on her desk as she silently groaned in boredom. But things were just so quiet all of a sudden. Then every kid in the room erupted into laughter. Alex looked up to see the teacher moving her lips to formulate words, but, once again, no sound was coming out. She seemed to be unable to make any sound. Alex was perplexed. So, she just laughed with the others. Later that day, Alex overheard the teacher screaming at the principle that she wasnât crazy and she literally couldnât make any noise whatsoever. Alex brushed this off, deciding it couldnât be her causing these things.
Many small things like these seemingly meaningless events occurred. Until one day when Alex was 14, she came rushing home to her Uncle, sobbing. She had heard someone teasing her friend brutally, and things were going to get physical. She had intervened, only to get a nice pop in the jaw. Anger welled up in Alex, and she began to shout at the boy, only for his eyes to roll back in his head. His limp body was suddenly sent flying backwards a whole twenty-five feet onto the ground. She looked around, only to see everyone covering their ears and squeezing their eyes shut. She immediately rushed home after that, skipping half of the school day.
It was then her uncle confessed he could spontaneously regenerate destroyed or lost bodily cells. He proceeded to grab a knife and slice his chest open. Alex watched in horror as the wound closed immediately, no scar was left behind.
Alexâs life changed after that. Her uncle told her about the Xavier Academy, but Alex wasnât ready to transition not just schools, but countries. Sure, she spoke English, she just wasn't ready. It took Alex almost three whole years of bullying, teasing, and loneliness to realize that she would never belong at a normal high school. She finally agreed to go to the American Academy, and this will be her first year attending.
