No magic, no patience, no problem
Alex has the energy of someone who checks exits before menus. She does not float through danger. She walks into it, bored, as if danger is taking too long to get to the point.
Biography
Alex came into Claire's life by accident, which is a polite way of saying there was a chase, a misunderstanding, and enough damage to make friendship seem like the only practical follow-up. She is not a magical being. She has never treated that as a disadvantage. Her work is the kind people describe vaguely when they are trying not to incriminate themselves.
Personality
Blunt, quick, loyal, and allergic to dramatic hesitation. Alex has a dry sense of humor and a remarkable talent for making reckless choices look like strategy.
Strengths
- Moves fast and thinks faster
- Spots danger before it introduces itself
- Protects friends without making speeches
- Solves problems directly, sometimes through doors
Role in the Story
