**WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE**
Picture:
Looks:
Hair/Eye Colour: Blonde(sometimes dark golden color in winter or a lighter blond during the summer)/ Hazel green. She does need glasses to read but tries not to wear them too much.
Height/Weight: 5'9½"/125lbs give or take a few
Appearance:
There's not too much that can give a Hogwarts uniform a 'classy' look. It's a bit too drab for that in Alexis' opinion. She'll generally wear a necklace and earrings daily, though the earrings may just be studs of some sort and she always wears a celtic star ring on her right ring finger. She used to wear boots with her uniform until she grew out of that 'boot phase' and then just wore regular dress shoes to match the dress code.
Favourite Outfit:
Alexis loves clothes, any style and she'll wear simplistic clothing from jeans and a band tee to a cute dress and high-heel boots. Comfortable but still dressy/sexy. When she's not in her school robes she can be found in an array of different clothes. She likes to wear skinny jeans to show off her long legs and some sort of dressy top with a necklace and earrings. Some of her clothes are designer labels from being a Muggle but with her father's sense of fashion she always likes to wear dark colors to appear 'mysterious' but sometimes spices up her wardrobe with a splash of color.
**PERSONALITY**
How do you treat your friends:
Lex's friends are very special to her, ever hear the phrase 'friends are family not chosen by God'(or something like that), she likes to live by that. Friendship is important to her and she'll do just about anything for her friends here or back home in the states. If someone betrays her trust, she'll give them another chance to earn it back but won't go past a second chance for many people. Generally if you screw her over once she'll remain your friend but will be wary.
Then there's the people that just walk out of your life for no reason. Alexis will hold onto what bit of friendship was left until the other person ignores her for so long she finally lets go. She hates losing friends like that but it happens, unfortunately.
How do you treat your enemies:
If Alexis doesn't like someone, she tries to steer clear of them at all times. If she can't, she'll be civil to their faces and probably bad mouth them behind their backs. The only time she'll get physical with someone is if she's stretched to her outer limit of tolerance which luckily doesn't come very often. She'd rather duel with someone than have a fist fight and even though she knows a few hexes she hesitates in using them.
Social Status:
She's pretty popular, at least she thinks she is. She has friends all over the spectrum, or at least she did until she came to Hogwarts. With some people telling her that Slytherins were just nasty people she's gotten a bit racist against them.(lol) She's somewhat of a wall flower here at Hogwarts but back home in the states she's got tons of friends. Here she's still making them.

Negative Traits:

Unforgiving - she doesn't give out second chances to just anyone. They have to earn it.
Martyr - she can make herself into one when she thinks that she's absolutely in the right even when she isn't.

Likes/Dislikes:
LIKES
Presents - Who doesn't like receiving presents? They're fun, exciting and most of the time a surprise.
Her family - They're her life and are always great fun to be around. She misses her extended family back in the states though and doesn't think she'll be able to stay in the UK after school just for this fact.
Peanut M&Ms - are her secret love. She usually has a bag or two in her trunk for little snacks. With all the amazing sweets in the wizarding world how come they haven't discovered the wonder of peanut M&Ms?
Mornings - she's happy to wake up at 6am on the dot and start her day from there. She likes to spend some alone time during the early morning hours, usually going for a walk/run around the lake if she can sneak out for it.
Shopping - It's somewhat of a stress reliever and it makes her giddy to get new clothes. It also her alone time with her dad and they get pampered after shopping all day.
DISLIKES
Feet - She cannot stand peoples naked feet if they're showing. She squeals when someone tries to play footsie with her and yanks her feet up into the chair or wherever she's sitting at the time.
Snakes and most reptiles - She doesn't understand how something with no legs can move and it creeps her out.
Moonless nights - It's just TOO dark on those nights and her mind likes to play tricks on her when the nights are really dark like that.
Marmite - holy mother of...that stuff is just horrid! She thought it was like peanut butter when she first tried it and boy was she wrong.
Gore in horror films - it's just too much, it grosses her out and makes her feel physically ill when she sees it.
Best/Worst memory:
Best - Going to the zoo with her parents and all her siblings when she was about nine years old. It was just a really great day and she was so happy that everyone was excited about the zoo and she got a stuffed animal of a zebra and ice cream.
Worst - When she was give years old she and her brother were at a grandparents house and she saw her grandfather having a heart attack in the kitchen. She didn't know it til a few years later but she watched him die there. For this she can see thestrals and those creatures both intrigue and terrify her.
Secrets:
It's not very dirty.. but she sleeps with a teddy bear. She also wishes she was more of a rebel, but inside she's a good girl at heart.

DADA
CoMC

Potions
Favourite/Least Favourite Subject:
Favorite Subject:
Charms and DADA are her favorite classes because they seem to come easiest for her. Being able to knock boys on their butts in DADA isn't a bad perk either.
Least favorite subject:
Astronomy is her least favorite. Stars are pretty to look at but learning about the positions and changes and nebulas and..zzzz. Oh sorry, dozed off there. It bores her and she's much rather be sleeping than having late nights up at the top of a drafty tower staring at specks.
What kind of student are you:
Are you a trouble maker during class or are you a studious one? Please give us as elaborate a description as you can.
What is your preferred House:
Gryffindor
**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
To sum it up, her fathers wanted kids, so they got their friend to carry for them and when she found out she was having twins it made their parents even more excited. Lisa ended up having fraternal twins in a freak of nature, one child belonging to both fathers. Alexis arrived first followed by her brother Gale two minutes later on March 29th, 2006.
Growing up things were normal for Alexis, save for her overly large and unique family members. Having two mommies and two daddies was something Alexis loved, she would sometimes play her parents against each other but the four of them wisened up and put a stop to that. Alexis was a little ball of energy as a child and she still is, running around all day with her twin inside or outside. She had a love of spending quality time with each father alone; painting or cooking with one and watching old movies or shopping with the other.
When they found out Alexis's strange abilities was because she was an actual witch, she and her brother were sent to the Wizarding school in Salem, Massachusetts when they were eleven years old. During the summer after the twins turned 14, their father Jon was offered a huge painting deal in London for a few years and since the family didn't want to be separated the family moved to a huge house outside of London. The twins started school at Hogwarts in their 5th year and had a rocky start but a year late they have grown fond of the old castle and its inhabitants.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Hogwarts was a big change for Alexis, she was nervous about transferring schools and having to learn the 'british' way to everything. After a few months making friends became easier but at first it was difficult since Lex was still trying to cope with the sudden change. Her only friend was her brother but after getting a few she blossomed easily into making more friends.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Alexis has thought about going into the fashion business, or going into advertising but she hasn't made up her mind. What she does know is that she wants to travel the world a little before settling down, perhaps even going onto college in the muggle world.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER –
Face Claim:
Blake Lively
Role-playing Sample:
Alexis stared at Starke for a minute, did he just ask who Jimmy Choos was? She had to pull both her lips into her mouth and bite down on them trying not to laugh. How didn't he know that was the name of a famous muggle shoe designer? Even if she and Starke hadn't dated for long her love of muggle fashion still was strong at that young age.
"As a matter of fact.. Jimmy is my boyfriend." she thought it would be funny to see how far she could take this joke with him. She would tell him eventually who exactly Mr. Choo was but not just yet, this was too funny. "He graduated last year and lives in London in this fancy flat.. it's really amazing" she went on, watching Starke's face the whole time trying to gauge his reaction and when she should stop and tell him she was joking.
Leaning back on her hand she twirled a curl around her finger and sighed a little dreamily as she pretended to think about the man who made a few pairs of her shoes. If she would have been wearing a pair of said shoes she might have drawn attention to them but she wasn't since there was no reason to walk around in the dirty forest with those pretty things.
