Get to Know: Alex

I stole the character template used in this fic, because I thought it was really thorough, and a good exercise for character building. So thanks ao3 user StarkPark!

Name

Alexandra Jaqueline Boyd. Sean named Alexandra, and it means “defender of men.” Their middle name is the feminine version of Jaq, one of her mother’s friends.

Nicknames

Alex (primary nickname)

Princess Alex (by her friends, to annoy them)

Pumpkin (by their parents)

Appearance

Thin, straight blond hair

Pale skin

Gray eyes

Smiley face tattoo on their shoulder, no scars. They have a tongue piercing.

They wear grunge aesthetic clothing, mainly black crop tops, ripped jeans, doc martens, and a lot of fishneting just…everywhere.

Face claims

London Fuller (young)

Virginia Gardner (older)

Personality

Sarcastic and kind of rough around the edges, but is actually sweet underneath. The one her friends go to when they need to rant, and/or do something mildly illegal.

They are industrious, loyal, and determined, but also very compulsive and over emotional at times. This can lead to fights and blow-ups with friends, but she will be the first to apologize, as she’s not stubborn, and will fold like a playing card.

She believes firmly in working hard to get what you want, one of the only traits she inherited from her mother. She despises when people have privilege and don’t help those in need.

They tend to think that rules are guidelines, rather than things to be followed. Especially if breaking the rules helps someone out.

OUAT AU: In a world where the curse was never cast, Emma and Alexandra are best friends raised side by side. They spend the time sneaking chocolate, laughing at ridiculous dances and complaining about their parents (whom they love more than anything).

Black Coffee & Pumpkin Pie: The Friendship of Emma Nolan, Lilith Montague, and Alexandra Herman. Born in October, November and December respectively, the girls have been inseparable since the moment their mothers introduced them. They��d been there for each other during every milestone, every heartbreak, and provided a safe place for Lily to come out of the closet.

When the girls turned 18, they all got crescent moon tattoos on their wrists to celebrate getting into the same college.

Ashley "dumbass" Boyd is the kind of person to leave her child in a locked car thinking "it'll be fine i'll a only be gone a few moments." Only it's longer than a few moments and it's not so fine. Then Ashley shoots the car cause clearly it's the one at fault.

One of my Pumpkin Archer (Alexandra/Robin) headcanons is that there have been occasions where Alex has had to sneak Robin out of her bedroom window at midnight and Robin is.... not the most graceful at landing. 

But she stands under the window, professes her love, and promises to return soon.

Alex rolls her eyes at how melodramatic Robin is, but she’s smitten all the same.

‪I’ve been wrong about Alex all along. She’d be more Claire Holt than Bridgit.‬
