Alexandra studied Chemistry at Cambridge University and was recruited by the Faithists shortly after acquiring her Doctorate. She worked for them at a research facility they had set up at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead for many years. Towards the end of the Faith Wars the Sabbat launched a successful attack upon the hospital and slaughtered almost everyone within. Alexandra was captured by them and embraced as a Shovelhead by her sire, Michael Baxter. She spent the next few nights with him, enduring the painful transformation into a Kiasyd vampire and learning the rudiments of what she has become.
Shortly before the destruction of London her sire disappeared and hasn't been seen since. She was found wandering the desolate streets of North London and agreed to join The Blood Silver Pack, mainly out of sheer hunger. She hoped someone in the Sabbat might be able to help her locate her sire and discover his fate.
She has shown a remarkable resistance to losing her Humanity to the Beast; despite facing and participating in all the horrors the Sabbat has to offer she remains markedly humane and disturbed by the things she sees those around her doing. Just how long she can hold on to her Humanity remains to be seen.
With the help of her pack (now renamed The Shadowed Kiss Pack) Alexandra was able to rescue her sire and has begun to study with him. He is helping her to slowly shed her humanity.
Description
Alexandra is tall (6'2") and slender, with extremely pale white skin and pure black eyes. Her facial features are pointed and angular, including her ears which taper to thin points. Her limbs, fingers and presumably toes are slightly elongated when compared to a humans. Her dark brown hair is very long, extending most of the way down her back and possesses an extremely fine silk-like texture. Under direct moonlight her skin also takes on a faint icy-blue glow which only adds further to her alien appearance. Despite all these factors she remains extremely beautiful, albeit in a strange way. She has near perfect balance and always moves with precision and grace.
In addition she has the gift of being able to consume normal mortal food and drink despite being undead. She does not require it for sustenance however and can survive purely on blood as can any vampire.
Interests
Aside for her interest and passion for Chemistry Alexandra also enjoys music (especially classical) and occactionally plays the Violin or sings. She is a great reader of fiction, happily devouring classic literature such as The Iliad or Journey to the West as well as terribly bad contemporary trash such as Twilight. Unlike many Christians she has read the Bible cover to cover at least twice; the second time being purely "for fun". She is a proficient gymnast and dancer having studied ballet for a time when she was at school. Her favourite drink (other than blood) is Baileys.
Development
Since being embraced Alexandra has made a point of learning some practical skills. She attends an MMA class with Sebastian and James and has worked to improve her marksmanship skills with a gun. Her exposure to the chimerical world of the Changelings on numerous occasions has enabled her to greatly enhance her sensitivity to supernatural events. She has found her Disciplines of Mytherceria and Obtenebration fairly easy to master and quite natural but struggles with Dominate; finding it not only difficult to use but also morally questionable. Currently she seeks to learn how to pick locks and drive a car as both of these skills she has found herself in need of on several occasions.
She has become friends with a number of local Changelings including Anna Kim and Roger Jones (the former also becoming her lover) as well as a number of the dancers at The Red Masque. She has also made Richard Webb her ghoul but has yet to sire any childer.
Upon being liberated from the Aonides and taking up the position of Bishop Michael has offered to tutor Alexandra in the ways of the Bahari as this was the path for which she was embraced. He has taught her the basics of the disciplines of Celerity and Fortitude.
