Alexis Erin Vynnick.
ALEX.
I can't stop if you can't start: Do you want to fall apart?
Well, I could, if you can try to fix what I've undone, 'cause I hate what I've become. You know me; Oh, you think you do but you just don't seem to see.
I've been waiting all this time to be something I can't define,
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something.
I've just got to get myself over me
I could stand to do without all the people I have left behind.
What's the point in going around when it's a straight line down?
So let's make a list of who we need. It's not much, if anything.
And then we'll throw it away 'cause we don't need anyone.
No, we don't need anyone.

Boggart:
A snake. Seems ironic, but she really is afraid she'll turn in to the stereotypical Slytherin: selfish, dark, mean, etc. She didn't want to be put there in the first place, the last thing she wants is to truly and honestly become one, inside and out.
Patronus:
Blackbear. (Although she wouldn't know this yet, never successfully having cast the patronus charm.) Large and seemingly indestructible, it protects her from harm, making her feel safe. Solid and steady.
Strengths:
School (History of Magic particularly).
Controlling her temper.
Her charm.
Weaknesses:
Good looking boys.
Self-control (when she's been drinking).
Will block off her emotions if she feels they're "getting in the way", only to later have them tear her apart.
Personality:
Alex is good-natured, but can appear cold. She is not afraid to give her full opinion, and always tries to make herself very clear. She's not exceptionally easy to get along with initially, but once you know her, you understand.
To those within her inner circle, she offers sincere compliments and support when called for, and is known to lodge herself in to compelling discussions.
She enjoys a good party, and letting the "other alex" (her drunken self) take control at times. She often needs someone to take care of her (whether that be a kind friend, or a boy with less honest intentions) on these nights. Being in Slytherin has taught her to be critical of boys, if not cautious.

History:
Growing up, Alex's father wanted her to be a lady. He was a harsh man, but loved his daughter fully. He took away privileges for 'uncivilized' acts, and rewarded a good performance after a dinner with guests. He would buy her nice dresses and accessories for every occasion, followed by a long lecture on how "Daddy won't always be here to give you presents". She was raised being told she was spectacular: beautiful and intelligent. She held this belief inside her for her first year, instantly picking up on the fact that many girls were as beautiful as her (if not more so), and plenty of students accomplished her very same grades.
Her mother was very reserved, and bended to her father's every wish. She was was a caring woman, who wanted the best for her family. She was never a very solid personality in Alex's past.
Her grandfather Ace was one of Alexis' favourite people. Always joking and teasing, sneaking her treats and petting her hair. He often intervened with her father, telling him to let her be who she was meant to be, rather than bending her into a certain shape. She would always love him for that.
Alexis went through her first five years with impressive grades, collecting friendships, partying, and for the most part, avoiding any type of trouble.

Secrets:
- Is absolute putty in a guitarist's hands. (Which she would never admit, because it's so cliche and contradicting to her attraction to masculinity.)
- Has wanted a pet monkey for as long as she could remember. (They're actually very intelligent!)
- Loves to sketch and paint, but hides her work for fear of criticism. (It's not like being criticized for your schoolwork or clothing.. it's more personal, and hurtful.)
- Prayed and wished to be put in Hufflepuff.
- Loved playing Qudditch and flying as a child, until her father told her it was not ladylike.
