- • Name :: "Hey, I'm..." Alexis Maybelle Darselle. Her name was thought of long before she was born. Her mother wanted the name Alexandra, and her dad wanted Alex, therefore when she was born they sort of went half and half on the name. Her middle name was her grandmother's. Her parents thought that it would be great to kind of keep the family names going or whatever. Her last name came from her dad, which is normal for most people. According to some books that tell you the meaning of names, Alexis stands for defender, and Maybelle stands for lovable, Darselle means some kind of form of a fortress, which is kind of strange. Her family has had some french heritage, explaining the last name, but also has a bit of English, German, and Canadian mix in there.
- • Nicknames :: "Call me..." She has many nicknames and you can call her, Alex, Lex, Lexi, Lexis and whatever hybrid of her name that you come up with, she responds to just about everything. And she will often respond to friends when they say something like, "Hey beautiful", "Yo stupid", or just about anything else in the whole entire world, well not really, but you get the point.
- • Gender :: "Girl..." Yes Alexis is a girl, though at times she can get a little rough, more then a lot of normal girls, which may lead people to think other wise. She also might dress like a guy from time to time, and wears what is comfortable rather then what is the new 'in' thing. She now wears more girly things, but when she was younger she looked like a guy, she even played baseball until she got into middle school.
- • Age :: "Sweet 17!" Alexis is seventeen, and loving it. She has always liked odd numbers and always wished to be seventeen, just because she would be driving around, and almost out of high school, about to start her life as a adult, and she was so happy to reach this age. She was born February 4th so that makes her a Aquarius, and she thinks it fits her well. Amethyst is her modern birthstone for the day she was born, but Bloodstone is the mystical birthstone from Tibetan origin that dates back over a thousand years. She also was born in Augusta, Maine. It's the capital of Maine.
- • Pets :: "Awww..." Alexis actually does have some pets. One is a gorgeous stallion she got from a shelter, and a very pretty fat cat that she has had for ever.
- Golden Rush is dun, which she finds very pretty, and his breed is a kiger mustang. He is a very proud horse, and often it looks like he is posing for something. He also is a little wild and will buck and won't always listen to Alexis. And in the hands of others he doesn't listen at all, he'll start bucking crazily. He is generally quiet, only becoming loud if something startles him, or he needs to be noticed. He has high standards and expects the best, whether it's the best place to sleep, the best food, or the best water to drink from. He really is a piece of work as far as a horse goes, but he also fast, and agile. And here is a picture of him: link
- Maxie is her cat that she has had since she was three. Alexis is now 17 so her cat is 14 years old, which is sort of old. Her cat weighs about 16 pounds, last time Alexis checked, and has a bit of a problem with fleas, but Alexis doesn't care and will snuggle with Maxie anyway. Most of the fleas gather on her lower stomach, kind of where her stomach hangs down the most. She was a stray on the street so Alexis isn't sure what her breed really is, but the vets say she is American Shorthair, but her hair seems a little longer then normal shorthairs. It's also a lot softer then other cats that she knows of. It even gets softer when she has just woken up, sleeping, or about to fall asleep. She also will start licking the air if you scratch at the base of her tail, or she might lick the nearest object. She is a brown mackerel tabby, with a white chest, chin, paws, and belly. Her back legs have white to about the middle of her thigh area. Her nose is sort of weird because it is pinker where the white fur would have been if she didn't have a nose, and darker where it would have been tabby marked. She also has a white spot that spikes up on her left side, that sort of goes as high as her eye, but doesn't touch it and is a centimeter to the right of her eye. She has yellow eyes, and the pupils become huge when she is scared. She is kind of skittish but will stand her ground. She isn't afraid to lash out and even does it to Alexis at times. Her family calls Maxie either Psycho kitty, Fangless, or Fat Cat. They call her Fangless because her top two fangs just fell out one day, the whole tooth did, and Alexis found one and keeps it in a little baggy. The call her Psycho because one minute Maxie will be purring like a motorboat engine, then the next she is biting your nose while clawing your face. She also doesn't like wind on her, so don't blow air at her, and she doesn't like having things under her move. She also is pretty quiet until she sees that you have spotted her. Then she will meow to let you know she expects you to come to her. She is a mouser, and even left a mouse on Alexis' bed one time. She also is finicky about things and won't go into Alexis' room if it is too messy, and won't drink out of water with too much floaties and hairs. Here is a sketch Alexis made of her: link. I have some pictures of her here,here, and here.
WIP
- • Skin :: "Soft as a babies bottom."Her skin is a white color, but it's not really pale or anything. In the summer or if she spends a lot of time outside, it will darken a little, but is still considered white. She is also more likely to burn in the sun then get a tan. Most of the time when she spends more then an hour outside, her cheeks start to burn with her nose. And her shoulders get burned pretty badly, along with her back. She usually didn't go outside at home but that might change. Anyway she also has freckles dotted all over her body, but there sort of spaced out and small so you don't really notice them. The strangest freckle she has is on her left foot, the toe next to the big one has a freckle on the right side of it. She also has a few scars on her arm from scratching bug bites when she was younger, and on her knees from falling. There also is a scar on her ankle on the left side from her first time shaving. She has dimples when she smiles, but she hates them. She thinks they look horrible on her and it would be better if she didn't have them. They kind of make her look chubby, or at least she thinks so.
- • Eyes :: "Like the calm after a storm." Alexis eyes, she loves and everyone keeps telling her how beautiful they are. Her eyes are a sort of grey and blue color. Her mom keeps saying they are blue each time Alexis asks, and her friends would say so too, but she likes to think of them as a blueish grey color. She just loves grey eyes, and she can't really count her eyes as blue because they aren't a true blue compared to some other people, but it's okay. Everyone says she has huge eyes, and doesn't even need to put eye liner on to make them look bigger. This is another thing she loves about herself. Her dad says that her eyes was first thing he noticed about her when she was born. She adores her eyes, being one of the things she loves about herself. She also will pull at her eyelashes, but it's more of pinching her eye lashes lightly then gently pulling outward, she thinks it makes them look longer, but also gets loose eyelashes out. She hasn't had a eye lash in her eye since she was thirteen.
- • Hair :: "BEAUTIFUL! <3" She loves her hair, more then anything else on her. She just absolutely loves it! It may not feel smooth or silky, but it looks beautiful! It is a light brown color, but she refuses to believe that it has turned brown, especially since it was blonde when she was younger. She calls it a very dirty blonde, but everyone knows it's really just brown, but it is wise not to tell her that. Her hair usually curls in a spiral like way, except when she brushes it when it's dry. Then it becomes frizzy and after a couple of hours just looks wavy. That is why she either brushes it before a shower, right after a shower, or combs it. Her hair really starts to become curly after it is wet, but when it is wet her hair looks brown, and there is no way for her to deny it. It is lice free, but when she was ten she did get lice from her cousin. And she will often feel bugs crawling in it, but it's most likely her imagination. Her hair is also very long! When straight it goes almost to her belly button, but it's sort of curled and only looks like it goes to the bottom of her ribs.
- • Shape :: "Hour glass ;)" She stands pretty tall at 5 foot 8 inches. And weighs 153, which is a little over her target weight, but she doesn't mind being a little chunky, and will often show off her body because she is comfortable in her skin. She may have parts she doesn't like, but overall she loves her body. She is like an hour glass, though most women are. Her legs are nice, being like her mother's, and her mother's was like her mother's, so Alexis has her grandmother's legs. Which is gross, but her grandfather said that he married Alexis' grandmother for her legs. She also has a long legs, like her father's and a long torso from her mother. Her head is round, but sort of is kinda pointed at her chin, but it's very small so she still classifies her head as round, but it is also has a bit of a flat spot on the top back of her head, but it isn't recognizable by sight, you have to feel it to know it is there. She also has unattached earlobes, which she loves, along with the fact that everyone says she has piano hands. Long fingers that sort of curve the wrong way, which is good if you play piano. And she has learned how to play the piano, but she isn't the best at it.
- • Striking :: "Everything!" Alexis does have a few striking features, or at least features she thinks are striking. The top ones are her eyes and her hair, which are both stunning, but her legs are also very nice, as far as legs go. She also likes her smile, but she doesn't brush as often as she should so there not the whitest teeth around... But she also has a curious taste in jewelery that can attract some attention. She loves gaudy things, but usually just earrings, and loves big flowery rings. Her necklaces are usually cool best friends necklaces or lockets from loved ones, but is definitely the earrings that attract the most attention from others. But her most striking thing would be her hair and eyes, followed by legs, then earrings, and then her jewelery style.
- • Modifications :: "Piercings..." Alexis does have a few modifications, she loves earrings so she has three holes on her left ear lob, and two on the right, but has a stud up at the top of the ear. She wears lots of different types of earrings from really fancy ones, to weird, and cool ones. She has special earrings for her left ear that can go through all three wholes, and they sort of have hanging things that connect to the other holes, It's really cool and she is the first person she has seen wearing them. She also will wear earring that will go through the bottom earlobe, but then come up and wrap around the ear. She has a very unique sense of style. She also has a bully button piercing, and she also has a lot of different rings for that, many which have dangling things off them. She also wants a nose ring and was going to get one when she got to her dad's, but that didn't work out well.
- • Clothing :: "Whatever..." Alexis does usually wear whatever she finds. All her pants are jeans, beside a pair of sweatpants, and two pairs of short shorts. So she usually wears jeans with whatever shirt she can find. Her shirts generally have a v-neck, or button and she leaves the top three unbuttoned. With white shirts she always wears a tank top underneath, and she wears pretty cool socks with converse. She always wears converse, unless it's cold. Then she wears really tall boots with fuzz inside them. And in summer she wears flip flops. And her socks can be just as crazy as her earrings. She also will wear baggy sweatshirts when it is cold. She also wears high heels when she has to dress up, and prefers peep toes, or the kind with the straw stuff for the bottom. And strappy kind of ones with all the straps. For dresses she either likes ones that are skin tight or are tight at the top but the skirt is sort of ruffled and tucked back in and has layers. For bathing suits she likes bikinis, or tankinis, with short like bottoms. She generally just wears jeans and a shirt with her converse and some socks.
- • Personality :: "I'm... complicated" Alexis is a bit strange. She has moments, and I guess in a way can be a bit weird, one minute she'll be jumping for joy, then the next she is crying for no reason what so ever. She also has many mental issues, none that you should worry about too much, but they definitely explain a few things about her.
- Alexis can be a bit erratic at times. Doing things that people wouldn't call normal but in her book they are perfectly fine things to do. Like how she collects my little ponies from the 80's even though she is seventeen. Or how she watches the MLP cartoon. Along with the fact that she still collects pokemon cards. They aren't the norm, but she still does them. Like how she'll pluck hairs out of her legs with a pair of tweezers when she is bored. Or when she likes to stick her foot out the window when she is riding in the passenger seat. Or how she'd rather stay home then go over a friends house. See these things are all strange about her, She also doesn't drink water, she almost has none at all, and sometimes she'll go two days without brushing her teeth, which she won't admit to. She also only showers every other day. These are just some of the strange things she does. She will also be the first one to do something, or the one always willing to do a dare. She will go running through a store yelling bacon! She is the one that will go up to a random guy and kiss him, just because one of her friends dared her too.
- Despite that she may be erratic, she does think things through. Usually when faced with a tough question she will sit there and think things through in her head before giving a answer. She also sees what the possible outcome of her actions may be, though when it comes to dares she doesn't. She also is intelligent and is thoughtful in school. Why did a character do this, how can I figure out the answer more easily? Stuff like that. That's probably why she was in GT (Gifted and Talented) classes when she is in middles school. And was in honors classes in high school. She loves to pick apart her books and try to figure out why each thing happened, why did the author write that, and so on. She also is thoughtful of other people. She tries to stay out of peoples' ways, and keeps the door open for the person behind her. She also thinks about her life, and what's going on and processes it. She often thinks of what her future will turn into, and that doesn't look to good at this point.
- Alexis can be a bit clingy at times. And when I say that I mean she is clingy. She constantly puts her arm in others' when she is walking with them. Like at school when she was walking down the hall with her friends. When she walked with her family. And at home she is always cuddling up with someone, or giving hugs. She also will latch on to people, and it's very hard to shake her off. Ask her sister, she will tell you what a nuisance she can be. She also will become too attached to someone or something, so that if they go away or leave her she will become depressed. It's not like she'll really go into her depression mode, but she will feel all sad for a minute, but will perk up again in about fifteen minutes.
- Alexis can be rather clumsy too. She can trip over air, and has done it one multiple occasions. She will trip going up the stairs, over her own feet, or on just about anything. She can carry things pretty well, but she may spill things. She might do all these things, but she somehow manages to do it gracefully. Her mom will often comment on how she tripped gracefully, andAlexis will turn around and say, "really?", and her mom will tell her that she really did fall gracefully. It is pretty funny. And lots of times Alexis acts like it's no big deal when she messes up, or she will try to act like it never happened. Or if she knows someone was watching she may just chuckle about it.
- Alexis is very creative, she would rather make someone a gift then buy them something, but usually she will just buy them something. She loves to draw and sketch things. She also likes to color, but she stinks at coloring things she drew. She also plays a couple of instruments. She has been playing the flute for seven years, but has only been playing the piano for three. She also likes to write and can come up with some good stuff if she puts her mind to it. She also likes photography, but she doesn't have a camera that is good enough to really take quality pictures with.
- Alexis is a animal lover! Her favorite animal is a horse, and has been riding them for three years, but has loved them since she learned what a horse was. She also loves any kind of animal, even fish. Often at friends houses she will spend most of the time petting the pets instead of paying attention to what her friends are saying. She also will try to become 'friends' with the wilder animals, but it doesn't work, so she generally just watches them, gives them some food, and call it good.
- Yes Alexis is a bit lazy. She'd rather sit down and watch TV then play outside, but she's okay with that. Though often her cat would go on the porch and Alexis would hang out with her cat for a while. But Alexis isn't a complete couch potato, she really loves the computer, and is often on it. She will also wait last second to do things, which she sort of inherited from her mom. Alexis also isn't that big into being completely lazy. She always has to have her hands doing something to keep her occupied.
- Alexis is actually really normal when you first meet her. She won't act all crazy when she is around new people, and will often act normal when she has family around, though she really isn't. She will act very polite to other people at first and she is usually polite to her extended family. Close family she can be a little meaner to, but they are her close family. She also will act like she is confident, even when she isn't. Though that is usually her in general.
- Alexis is very much a slob. Her room is a disaster, with an unmade bed, clothes on the floor, stuff under the bed. And she is sure there is something living in the corner of her room. And though she may be a slob and sometimes forget to brush her teeth, or go a couple of days without taking a shower. She will do things if she starts to see how bad it is. Like she may not brush her hair for one day, but the next it's so knotted that she has to brush it.
