Her favored colors are greens and blues, although she on rare occasion wears red. These colors accentuate her lightly tanned skin.

Specific Skills or Abilities: Can read body language, skilled dancer, Highly intelligent
Personality: Quick of wit and strong of will, Alexandrine Delamara is a force to be reckoned with. She is fiercely loyal to her family, particularly her older brother, Rik. She greatly worries about her brother and the stress he is placed under while serving as Lord. In that vein she sees a way to relieve some of this stress by making a good match, a match that she is determined to make herself. She enjoys the time spent so close to the sea. Often it is where she runs, seeking guidance and solace in the crashing of waves and the smell of salt.
Alexa can also be very manipulative, assuring by any means that she will make her goals. At times she can appear very demure and innocent. In her heart of hearts she wishes that she could marry for love, she knows that she has a duty to her family and people in her station do not have that luxury. Her sisters futures rely on her match, and that is no small responsibility in her mind.
She is highly perceptive and is good at reading people's body language as this more often tell you more about a person then words. She tends to be very logical and only her family really gets to see the real her. Underneath that very logical exterior she is an emotional, passionate creature.
She is frightened of spiders and does not like heights overly much either. Her worst fear is that she would shame her family by no making a proper match.
Background: Alexa was a very fussy baby, crying at all hours day and night. It is said that her father found this unfavorable and didn't visit her often. It is also said that her brother Rik, too ,found this unfavorable.
As Alexa grew her crying seemed to happen less and less. Her father seemed not to pay over much attention to her, if he payed her any attention at all. At one she had a new baby brother, not so far out of the cradle herself she saw a play mate in her younger brother. Just after she turned 3, she was brought into her mothers rooms to meet her little sister. Although she thought the baby was cute, she didn't seem to be interested in her. Her youngest sister was, in her opinion, the most precious thing she'd ever seen, and she loved her as soon as she laid eyes on her.
Over her younger years her father had her schooled in the arts, singing, dance, regional languages, anything and everything that would make her the top of the match making chart. She always saw this as her fathers way of loving her and devoted her time to getting the best marks in all of her classes. No matter how many recommendations the tutors gave though, her father kept ignoring her. Alexa would then turn to Rik for the familial affection she sought, because of their fathers neglect they grew closer and she would always love her brother for it. He was her protector and she knew one day he would make a great lord.
When Alexa was 15 Rik left for sea, she was heartbroken. He and her cousin Petra needed to live their lives and so she did not speak out against it. Instead of worrying, she poured herself back into her studies. In whatever free time she did have she made sure to look after her youngest siblings. Her father devoted his time to his trade and to her younger brother Franz. So she worked to make up some of the difference.
One night her Father and Grandfather went to sea and never came home. People said that they were taken by a freak storm, but Alexa couldn't believe that. She has never truly recovered from the loss and they never recovered their bodies. Most of her grief never showed. she didn't cry at the funeral only stood sullen and silent. After every one was gone, in the quiet of her rooms, she sobbed helplessly into her pillow for a love she never had and a father she always wished she could have been closer to.
Rik came home a short while after the funeral. While he makes match after match for Alexa, for one reason or another none of them seem to stick. Alexa thinks that he is working too hard, and needs to have a bit more fun. She wants to make the match for herself thinking that after she has been married Rik can finally have a bit more freedom.
Writing Sample:
Another failed match... Alexa thought to herself walking the beach. She sat down in the warm sand, wondering how she had failed this time. "I cant do this to myself, and honestly he smelled like a sea otter anyway." she said to herself, smiling a bit. Even with her inside joke, she found herself full of disappointment and anger. She stared at the sea letting the tears flow. There was no one to see her cry. No one to judge her lack of control, so she cried.
After a few moments, she wiped the tears from her face and stood brushing as much sand from her skirts as possible." Rik is going to be looking for me soon. I should be getting back." she said to the sea. Lifting her head high she walked back home, trying to forget about her latest suitor and the wedding she'd planned.
