Version 2.0! Lexi is baaaaaaaaaack! Haha, it's great to play her again :).
She's the same shy but friendly Lion, but let's just start backstory fresh for the sake of organizations, hmm?
BACKSTORY!
Name: Alexis Winchester
Nickname: Lexi, Lex, Al (but only by Thatch :P)
House: Gryffindor
Age/Year: 16 / Seventh
Birthdate: October 30th, 1989
Bloodline: Half-Blood
Heritage: British
Personal History: An only child, Alexis grew up in a happy family setting with her Mother, Anna (a Muggle), and her Father, Brennan (a Wizard). Having a nice mix between a magic life and a muggle one, she started to exhibit some magical ability at a young age, although not realizing it at the time. Right at age 11, she received her Hogwarts letter and has been attending ever since. Her father, also a Gryffindor from Hogwarts, worked at the Ministry of Magic. Alexis was never told nor did her parents speak much about the details of his job, that it was simply "Important adult work". Anna stayed at home as a happy housewife, taking care of the daily needs. The family was always very close, and Alexis' parents meant the world to her.
While growing up, she was quite social and constantly had lots of friends; however, that all changed while she was still in her first year at Hogwarts. Right before Christmas break, Alexis was owled with the letter that would forever affect her life - her father had died. In complete shock and disbelief, she traveled home to find out what had happened. Her Mother told Alexis that her father had been involved in an accident at work. This wasn't good enough for her, and began the long process of denial. Her father wasn't supposed to leave her, not now, not ever. After that, Alexis' personality changed to a quiet and secluded individual. The things that used to make her happy didn't anymore. After returning to school over the holidays, she was lucky enough to meet Cassedey Aveada, a Ravenclaw who was of the same age. Alexis was in deep grief and instantly found a friendship with Cassedey. She became the outlet for Alexis, someone to confide in and trust. Ever since their first year, the two girls have become best friends.
Personality: At first glance, Lexi may appear to be a quite shy little book-nerd; but if you take the time to get to know her, you'll see that she has lots of layers underneath. Extremely loyal and compassionate, once Alexis makes a friend, she'd do anything for them. She can have a hard time opening up at first, however once she trusts the person, she will completely let her true self known. She is shy by nature and prone to severe blushing attacks and times of tripping over her own words, but this eases in time (but not entirely, unfortunately, she can't ever escape it altogether!).
That being said, if you hurt or betray her, you will most likely never be forgiven. Although mostly keeping to herself, Alexis is very passionate about her own views and beliefs. She is an articulate and creative person, loving to get lost in a good book or write poetry in her closely guarded journal. Sensitive and a total romantic, Lexi has always entertained her imagination with the idea that everyone can have the chance to find their "Prince Charming". She also has a slight rebellious streak to her, and doesn't mind bending a few rules now and again, though it doesn't happen all that often. It usually takes an extremely serious situation to push her far enough away from her usual restrictions.
