Blood Type: AB

Hobbies:
Dance - For thirteen years of her life, she's danced ballet. Its an intricate part of her life, and she can't sit in a room with music playing without choreography playing in her head. She loves dancing, and hates people who think its 'easy' or a girly sport. It isn't. Its taken her all thirteen years of her dancing training to get as good as she is now, and she still isn't principle dancer material. She has class four days a week, with rehearsals three of those days. Dance is a real time sink for her, but she loves it.
She originally got into dance half out of her own want, and half out of her mother wanting to learn balance; she had a habit of leaving skin on almost every surface because she'd trip over her own feet (one could argue she still does). Around the age when other girls were getting into soccer, swimming and basketball, Alex fell in love with preforming. Her sole reason to continue taking class is because at the very end, she gets to preform on a stage.
She creates dances in her spare time, though they tend to be hodgepodgey to what goes well with the music. There are times when she strikes gold with her choreography and her created piece is very good.
Alex is most practiced at classical ballet, though she enjoys lyrical dance much more. She has training in jazz, jazz-hip hop, character, and tap styles of dance, and has dabbled in modern and contemporary dance. Contemporary confuses her most of the time (it tends to be VERY out there) and classical bores her after a while (there are only so many times you can dance the Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker before you can do it in your sleep).
Writing - Writing is one of the best ways for her to let loose steam and let her mind calm. She writes drabbles, one shots, and novels, none of which are actually finished yet. She got into writing after reading so much and reading a LOT of fanfiction online. She tested her fingers at it, and went through a number failed, unfinished attempts before she got to a point where she actually liked her writing. What was the kicker, though, was her fifth grade teacher who let her write about Pokemon for a magazine assignment. She fell in love with the art that was writing after this moment. The fanfiction just helped it along.
She tends to write fantasy stories, usually with the underlying theme of a dragon of some sorts in it. She's just a little obsessed with the large flying lizards.
She roleplays, too, like its going out of style.
Video Games - If there's one thing she loves more than dance and writing, it's video games. She plays mainly RPGs, but you can get her to play Halo if she with the right people. Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Fable; you name it, she's probably either played it, heard of it, or hasn't' gotten to play it yet.
Her current time sink is World of Warcraft. She doesn't PvP. She thinks the concept of running around scared shitless because someone can come up your backside and run you through with an axe is not the way to go. Alex mostly plays hunters, and solos a lot of her quests, or have level 80 friends follow her around and help her through dungeons and said quests.
She usually plays video games after dance and school work are finished, but there are times, especially with WoW being on her laptop, that the pull is too great, and she's playing when she should be doing math homework, and plays until 3 in the morning. Most of her console games get played on the weekends and Fridays, due to having not enough time during the rest of the week.
Virtues:
Confident About Her Abilities: Alex has a lot of confidence in her work and school. She always believes that she can do something, and do it well. If she finds she can't, she'll just try again, confident she'll fine a new way to go about the project or assignment. In combination with being so gun ho about things, she jumps into her work and works on it right away. This does come off as arrogance sometimes, and her confidence can get away from her if she doesn't keep it in check.
Gun-ho About Things: In being sure of herself and her abilities, Alex gets incredibly excited these days about projects, or challenges, or new rehearsals, etc. She gives her all in them, putting her heart and soul into just about everything she does. Usually her enthusiasm dies off after a time (usually for studying its after an hour or so) but during her bursts of energy nothing can really stop her. She throws her entire focus into a project and will not rest until its done (or her mother forces her to sleep). With people she tends to sometimes barrel over them, and get annoyed if people dawdle with projects or assignments. She wants things done, and done right away, mostly so she doesn't have to scramble at the end, and mostly just to get it done. If she's interested in outings with friends, she's usually really upbeat and the one to run ahead into the bookstore or the game store (not so much shoes, but you never know). She'd totally camp out for tickets for a concert too, or go to the midnight release of movies and video games.
Optimistic: If you look at her, you don't see much of a frown or unhappiness in her face. She smiles, she always is cheering people on and being happy for them. She doesn't like seeing people depressed so she tries to cheer them up however she can. She never once expects the same in return, and is okay with it. When going into tests and assignments she always has a positive outlook on the situation. You might see her fret a little if its a subject she has some difficulty with, or see her going over her notes countless times, but you won't see her lose her cool and break down over a bad test. At times her smiles can seem forced and plastered on her face, but this usually is only temporary.
Flaws: [THIS SECTION IS OUT OF DATE]
Bullheaded: While Alex encourages everything to try new things if something doesn't work, she will "run the horse into the ground, and keep running it," in a sense. She's highly stubborn, and doesn't like outside feedback on what she should or shouldn't do. Obviously her way will work, it just needs more time. This ends up leading to many rage filled rants about projects and assignments that get more rage filled because she's wasting time raging. She backs down very rarely, but will do it; especially if it means she could lose a friend over it. Alex does have a tendency to totally negate other people's reasons for things. Most of the time she'd listen to it, and just not usually do what they say. Only in rare circumstances (like jumping off a bridge or something that makes her feel uncomfortable) will she truly ignore what they say.
Hotheaded: In the absence of just taking everything and not lashing out, and become depressed because of it, Alex acts out with anger. She's not as volatile as they come, but her fuse is short. She will not hesitate to snap at you if you are annoying her, and will fight back if you pick a fight with her. She doesn't reacted towards adult until they've gone out of ear shot, but Alex doesn't keep a good lock on her emotions, and never has. Just now, instead of crying, she glares and raises her voice, kicking furniture in the process. She's never physically hit someone, but she has gotten into a number of verbal fights with others before. Alex does tend to let her mouth get away from her and she on numerous occasions say things that either don't make sense, or only make some sense. She has horrible comebacks (and knows it) but still tries to fight back regardless.
Socially Paranoid: Alex does as much as she can to make sure she matters in a group, that she's important, that people like her. Her greatest fear is being completely and totally ignored, and being alone. She worries constantly about whether people talk behind her back about her, or if they like her, or are just putting on a face. This has grown into paranoia over the years, and she really can get worked up over it. She frets about it and tries to be as nice to everyone as possible, even if they don't want it. Her natural tendency for her emotions to get the better of her hinders this, however, and she's lost people she wished she didn't because she reacted badly and yelled in anger.
This manifests itself in Alex doing everything in her power to make friends. Which usually means she'll hang around you, trying to get in on the group, or making some comment that is for the conversation but no one really cares about. She either actually makes friends, or gets ignored the whole time, while they barely tolerate her presence. She highly values her friends, but doesn't trust them until far into the friendship. Group events are the worst, when she can see people whispering to each other. She automatically assumes they're talking about her, even if all they're doing is asking each other what they had for lunch. She has not gone into therapy for this, mainly because she doesn't realize just how paranoid she is. She thinks this is the normal course of action.
Physical Description:
Hair - Black with dark purple ends, hanging down to her waist now and usually pulled into a high pony tail or one at the nap of her neck.
Eyes - Green blue, small
Face - Ovalish shaped face, thin looking, small nose, average sized ears
Body - Whip thin, dancer toned (not muscular, but it is there)
Fashion -
At home - Pants, pants, pants! Alex will lounge around her house in anything, so long as it includes pants. She likes graphic tees, character tees, even comic book tees. Pretty much, if you can dress her up like a boy, then she's a happy girl.
At ballet class - Black leotard, pink tights, and black dance shorts make up her dance clothes.
With friends - She'll usually wear pants, even in the summer, with a t-shirt and her trusty, but falling apart, skater shoes. She doesn't skate, but loves those shoes regardless.
At school - While she loves the school uniform, she begrudgingly only wears the skirt because she couldn't get her mom to by her the guy shorts. She does wear shorts on underneath it, however.
It isn't that she doesn't like skirts, its that she can't sit in them well. Even with ballet, at least there was something covering underneath the skirts, instead of just her underwear. Alex doesn't have a lot in the bust either, so she can't pull off busty or low cut shirts. She'd rather look like a guy than a girl who is trying too hard to be sexy.
Family:
Mother: Teresa Gramme - A loving woman who Alex inherited most of her features from. She and her mother are very close, and share a more pleasant relationship than most other mother/daughter pairings. She's very happy that Alex has finally gotten over her depression and has a new outlook on life.
Father: James Gramme - A workaholic man who has never really been around. He leaves before Alex is awake, and comes home around the time she's supposed to be in bed. Even when he is home, he's either bitching and moaning about work, or working, or sleeping.
Cat: Max "Lazy a**" Gramme - The family cat. The Grammes got him when Alex was thirteen as her pet. He has since changed owners to Teresa. He's one of the laziest cats, the loudest, and the scaridest known to man. He used to be terrified of Alex, but he is slowly warming up to her.

Knight Title: Andronicus Knight of Uranus
Challenge: Can you handle the gale? / A change of winds is coming. / Come gust or gale, renegade to the end!
Weapon: An ornate staff with a weather vein ontop.
First stage: Simple pole with an unmoving weather vein (that points N/E/S/W) with the Uranus symbol in the middle.
Second and Third: Up to descression, and becomes much more intricate. Squire and Knight stages the weather vein spins when she is channeling her magic.
Colors: Dark blue, grey blue, grey
Magic:
Page: Nada.
Squire: Change of Winds
Channeled for thirty seconds.
Andronicus can change the direction of the wind in a small (5 yard) radius around herself, and use this sudden change of wind to disrupt enemy attacks or knock them off balance. Can be used in short bursts, up until thirty seconds of magic 'time' is used. The change of wind is like a 30 mph gust of wind.
This is done by swinging her staff in the direction she'd like the wind to change to, going from and upright position in a horizontal line with the top of the staff pointing in the direction she wants. She then must hold the staff in that direction to channel the magic.
Knight: Change of Gales
Channeled for one minute.
Andronicus changed the wind direction again, however this time with the force of a gale, able to knock people of their feet and knock loose debre off of tables, roofs, trees, etc. Can be used in short bursts, up until forty five seconds total of magic 'time' is used. Usable up to fifteen feet in the direction she casts its (usually forward). The gale is at 40 mph.
This is done like her squire magic.
Summon: [LOCKED] Vishanka, a large lizard like sand drake, that can blast people with sand. He's brown and gold in color and runs kinda like a sand runner lizard.

The Tower:
The Andronicus is a tall tower structure in the deserts of Uranus. Like the rest of the planet, the building is made of sandstone, etched with wind worn images of Knights long since past. A single wooden door is set into the base of the structure. The top floor is open to the air, a large bronze weather vein nestled in the center of the room.
All windows face the cardinal directions, with North being the direction of the capital, and are large pieces of glass held together by rods of iron and solder. Many windows have been shattered over the years, or are missing entirely.
The Floors Within:As of Andronicus' first visit, only two floors will be/are open to her: the main and ninth floors. Twelve total floors exist within the tower, excluding the observation deck at the top. The floors are accessed by a stone spiral staircase at the north end of the tower, and a door from the landing of that floor.
Main Floor: The entrance floor is the most barren of the floors, simply holding tattered curtains and the base of the staircase. One window is broken in the east wall, while the west wall is blocked by a large wall of sand on the outside. It slowly trickles in from a crack in the wall.
First Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Second Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Third Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Fourth Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Fifth Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Sixth Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Seventh Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Eight Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Ninth Floor: The ninth floor holds a large weathered wooden table, reinforced with stone and metal. The walls are lined with shelves of books, devices and parchments. The center table has its share of books and parchments, but its greatest feature is the map in the middle. The map resembles nothing of normal maps, but charts wind currents, thermal vents, areas prone to hurricanes, tornados and sand storms, among other weather patterns, of various planets of the system. Most notably of these are Earth an Uranus. The writing is, however, unreadable and nothing more than scribbles. This floor also is the only floor, besides the twelfth, whose windows are still intact.
Tenth Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Eleventh Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Twelfth Floor: Inaccessible at this time.
Observation Deck: Inaccessible at this time.
Things of Note:
Few of the Knights of Uranus have seen the inside of the tower, and very, very rarely was an outsider allowed inside. Isolated from the rest of the cities, the inhabitants of the Tower kept to themselves, outside of journeys to the nearest town for supplies. It is said, however, that on the change of the Earth Solstices, the Andronicus Knights would hold a celebration and ritual in the sands outside the tower, in honor of the the changing winds.

She let it hang long in a braid or loose to her hips during her ceremonies and her leisure time, as well as among friends.

""Moreover, I've seen what the future may hold. The Negaverse took over, nearly everyone was part of Chaos or hunted down and killed. I can see why Order is now on a mass attempt to kill off Chaos, but I don't think it's that simple."
Paper Mask -This odd paper mask has no known origin - it simply showed up, one day, where you happened to find it. It doesn't seem to do anything other than make the wearer look silly if tried on while in a powered state, but when put on as a civilian, the mask attaches itself to the wearer's face and alters the owner's appearance. For twelve hours, the wearer's identity becomes that of a stranger's - you've taken on the appearance of someone no one, including yourself, recognizes. After the twelfth hour, the mask flutters to the ground, detaching itself from you - leaving you fading back to your normal, "ordinary" self. You cannot power up while you are wearing the mask, and there is no way to remove the mask prior to the twelve hours, so you may want to be careful about trying on decorations of unknown origin. After your adventure of walking in a stranger's shoes, you are left with the strange paper mask, though it seems to have lost its magic.
