PHYSIQUE

★ APPEARANCE: Alexandra, or the more ambiguous ‘Alex’, Wolffe is a woman of average height, but a tall, tall spirit. Her short hair is a dull fire hue, choppy bangs falling along her forehead and slightly framing the sides of her face. As far as she knows, her hair has never been longer than a messy pile on her shoulders (quite some time ago), and she strives to keep it short because of her various outdoor and indoor activities. In certain lighting her eyes will seem a molten gold colour, but actually they’re almost the same muted bronze shade as her spiky locks. They’re shaped like the eyes of someone who has faced many challenges and has stood against them all, full of passion and soul. Being somewhat middle-aged (say, 33?) has taken away a bit of the youthful vigour that used to shine from her round visage, but most of it is still there and noticeable. Oftentimes when doing one sport or another, she’ll don a dark blue head-cap to keep the sweat away from her vision and her hair from irritating her skin. Being a sportswoman, she has a pretty slim, nice figure that's full of muscle and hidden grace. Also, here’s a secret: she’s actually quite well-endowed, but those get in the way of moving comfortably, so she wears a binder. Add her natural style of loose, simple clothing and sneakers and you’ll get a person whose gender is quite difficult to determine when she’s not involved in some physical activity of some sort.

★ COMMON WEAR: As said before, Alex is a casual dresser, and it’s only on formal occasions that she’ll deign to wear something that can be considered as appropriate (e.g. something with no leg holes). Her usual physical fare consists of, as mentioned above, something loose and free-flowing, never mind about fashion. The only requirement for any piece of clothing she has is that it needs to be comfortable to wear. When not intending to play sports, she usually dons plain-coloured t-shirts and pants, and forgets the cap entirely. However, when Alex is ready and rearing, she switches to clothes that are sport-appropriate, such as swimsuits, tight airflow tops, and shorts. When at this stage, she usually discards the binder, as wearing it while in sport-mode becomes more of an uncomfortably warm hindrance than a help.

★ OTHER FEATURES: She has a few scars on her upper back, and various marks of healed injuries on her legs and arms.

PERSONAGE

★ POSITIVE:

[/i] an all-around outstanding athlete. Alex plays all the sports (including a few that aren’t considered sports, but more of extreme games, e.g. skateboarding). All(most) of them. Her body is toned and ready for pretty much anything physical. She is a lean, mean fighting machine. Flexibility, strength, agility, speed, energy and endurance: she has them all. If she were born a boy (sometimes she gripes about this), she’d quite possibly have more than what’s her limit now, but alas, so is fate.

• PROTECTIVE – Like a mother bear to her young. Fiercely. Intensely. Unselfishly. But not completely, unfortunately. Alex believes in letting some of the world give its own share of experiences to Tory so that he’ll be somewhat savvy, and not sheltered. She learnt the hard way. However, in terms of bodily harm and fatalities, she’ll go to every length to make sure the people she loves aren’t as much as breathed on. This includes offering up her own life as well.

• OPEN – It’s easy to read Alex, and she doesn’t mind. Hiding her emotions isn’t her specialty, nor does she attempt to be good at it. She makes her feelings clear and known, but her general mood is usually good-natured. If she has something to say, she’ll say it, and she will welcome whatever consequence comes afterwards. No secrets, no lies. Those kinds of things make understanding people and keeping relationships that much harder, and as such, she expects others to show to her the same measure of honesty that she shows them. This means that she also has a fairly open mind, unlike the days when she was younger. But that’s another story.
[/ul]
★ NEGATIVE:

[/i] the best way. Also, it may cause more problems that it solves. But such is her style, even if nowadays she isn’t an adrenaline junkie anymore. She still doesn’t thoroughly think about her actions though; that hasn’t changed much, at least. It gets her into unfavourable and unnecessary situations, but she never learns.

• DISORGANIZED – It’s like wherever Alex goes there will be an inevitable trail of assorted junk: clothes, utensils, equipment, paper, tools, just stuff. If she uses it, it will very rarely end up in the right place again, unless thrown with miraculous accuracy. Her son oftentimes has to pick up after her exploits around the house. She doesn’t do this on purpose. Rather she simply does not find the use in keeping things orderly if you’re going to use them again anyways. And if you use them once, then throw them away. Simple as that (except it’s not so simple when she has to spend ridiculous amounts of time finding that same item that was flung into a deep corner of the room where other tossed objects lie helter-skelter).

• AGGRESSIVE – And hotheaded. Alex is an overly fiery lass, and may sometimes say things a bit too straightforwardly. Someone looking for trouble might display merely a hint of snark towards her and the next thing you know Alex is involved in a violent argument or brawl. Or both. She does not take kindly to aimed insults, and she will make you understand this in the worst way possible. Once again, this trait gets her mired in problems, but not as much as her next negative trait does.

• TRASH-TALKER – Ties in with the previous characteristic, and does it terribly. You would think that since she’s a sportswoman, she’d uphold the rules of good sportsmanship, right? Right! However! Outside the playing field she is quite brash. Not ladylike at all. Swears and vulgarities have stuck with her since her days on the streets, and even now, even as a mother, she is not afraid to use them. In fact, it’s almost unconscious. She doesn’t like being insulted, but she insults as well. Such is the nature of Alex the Aggressive German Amazon. Or something like that.

• THINKER – Not that she’s dumb or anything, but it’s just that she doesn’t have the right mind to think the required thoughts for complex puzzles and things like that. She’s terrible with numbers, and probably passed maths class when she was a kid by half a hair. Her methods are, as you could probably see by now, mostly of the act-first-think-later kind. Sure, the occasional short, brief conundrum is moderately handle-able (she might mix things up majorly, though), but a prolonged problem that requires extensive and deep thinking is very much out of the question. [/ul]
★ LIKES:

★ DISLIKES:

★ HABIT:

• LICKS THINGS – Not provocatively, no. She does it simply to…actually, she doesn’t really know why exactly she does this. The things in question are mostly various surfaces that would be considered clean, like glasses or cutlery. She wouldn’t lick dusty wood paneling or anything. It’s just an idiosyncrasy of hers. Don’t we all have some?
  
  
• THE SHAKE – When Alex gets stressed out, she will most likely turn to this. ‘This’ is beer, bananas, carrots, raw eggs (three to be precise), and one cup of sugar all tossed into a blender and whirled together. Sounds nasty? Not to this particular Wolffe! It calms her down, somehow. Who knows how she stumbled upon this recipe, or how she invented it in the first place.

★ FEAR:

• DISABILITY - Being injured past the point of no return is a major fear of hers. It means that she can no longer play her beloved sports, can no longer work to support her family, and is now rendered helpless. Terrible thought.
  
• TORY - Something happening to him. Something bad, and something negative, and something that she won't be able to prevent from happening. That's the worst, seeing as her life purpose is him.

INVENTORY

★ STRIFE SPECIBUS: CROWBARKIND – You’d think that she, being an expert sportswoman, would have a plethora of improvised weapons to choose from, but in fact, this is exactly why she only uses this. All her sports equipment is far too important to be damaged in something as trivial as strifing. The crowbar is made out of sturdy black steel, and is not hollow at all. It’s fairly long, but not half as long as she is tall, and she's quite proficient in using it. Also, she doesn’t need to worry about seeing blood, since it deals blunt damage, as it would take quite some spirited bashing to actually produce the stuff (unless she uses the curved end accidentally). Victim-unconsciousness is plenty for her already.

★ FETCH MODUS: SPORTSMODUS SET – A gift from Tory. Alex has a choice of the Dartmodus, Archerymodus, Bballmodus, Footballmodus, and Golfmodus, and they all work in the same basic way. It’s great fun, being able to switch between these five (even though a few don’t get chosen as much as the others…), and not have to worry about the schematics too much. Basically, if she captchalouges an item, it will stay there until she can hit the red card with a dart, hit the card with an arrow, land a ball into the corresponding basket, score a goal in the corresponding goal, or hole-in-one a ball in the hole. The modus itself provides a temporal dart, bow-and-arrow, basketball, football, or club and ball that vanish out of existence once the item is more or less satisfactorily retrieved. Simple. .

BACK STORY

★ KID - Tory is pretty much the centre point of her life, and even though she may not be the most ideal mother ever, she tries her best. She knows, in the back of her mind somewhere, that sometimes she may be a tad bit overbearing, but it’s all for his own good. He needs some backbone in him, and he’s definitely not gonna get any if he just oozes around inside all day, cooped up with his computer and his online friends. That doesn’t build character at all. Despite this, Alex still loves him to bits though, and is insanely protective of him.

★ HISTORY:After a several years raising Tory on her own in her hometown in Germany, Alex decided that there would probably be more opportunities on the other side of the world. Thus, she strove to earn enough money while bringing her shy son up, and once she did, she sold what they didn’t need and off they went. Sure she felt homesick every now and then, but it was handle-able. Besides, it wasn’t like she had any time to mope anyways, since she had to put her nose to the grindstone and work on building her family of two up in America. Whilst Tory was faring relatively alright at school, or so she hoped, Alex herself landed a job at coaching football (soccer, to be geographically exact, but it’s hard to adapt terms to something that is obviously more football than American football was) at a nearby school. She was also the school’s physical education teacher too, and her charisma and spirit allowed her to easily fit in.

The apartment that they were currently living in was just recently paid off in that penultimate final installment, and so Alex is now able to breathe a bit more freely. She had carted as little of her original sports equipment from her home as possible, but she had quickly compensated by buying them back. Her room was opposite of Tory’s, and looked pretty much the opposite. It was messy and filled with stuff. She had a medium-sized corkboard of pictures on one wall, and her computer (which she rarely used) was next to that. The bulk of the mess is actually comprised of clothing and miscellaneous things, since her sporting equipment was scattered outside in the main area of the apartment. They have a kitchen too, but it’s become a forbidden area for her ever since that incident. Now Tory does most of the cooking, unless Alex feels that she can get away with it by sneaking.
