If you must know, my full name is Alexandra Moira Phoenix, but, please, call me Alexandra, dears.A lady never reveals her age and, I assure you, I am most definitely a lady.
To some the past is a mystery, to me it is a memory best left forgotten....
Many people of power are born into the position while others claw their way up to the top. I was one of the former, my parents the latter. Do keep in mind dears, not everyone who possesses power will retain it. I am the second oldest in a family of five. My mother and father amassed their fortune in ways that are, shall we say, less than desirable. My brother, bless his soul, was a man of virtue. He strove to be a ray of hope in our ever darkening world; a lighthouse in our stormy sea of life. Then there was little Amara. Oh, she was just the cutest sister one could have ever asked for. She was an angel through and through. This, however, left only one thing for me.
I was to be the 'fixer.' The one who cleaned up messes and tied up loose ends. We couldn't all be perfect, my dears. Besides, how could I ask either of my siblings to change who they were? No, that would never happen. For them, I would sully my hands. I would immerse myself in our family's dark secrets. I would become the very monster that people feared would leap from the shadows. Somehow, mother and father had already known it would be me. Perhaps I was marked or perhaps they had somehow seen into the future.... Whatever the case, they knew I was to be the one. As such, only I learned the family secrets.
Alan was sent away for schooling at age seven, and Amara soon after him. Meanwhile, I remained home and learned those abilities which were beneficial to my position. It was not until several years later that I would be reunited with my darling brother and sister for longer than a week. By then, Alan had become a dashing young gentleman and Amara a beautiful young lady. I did my best to make sure the years passed in relative peace for my dearest siblings and, true to my vow, I kept the very things which tainted our name secret from them. Before long, they were both set to wed. Everything was going surprisingly well. Honestly, I knew it had to be too good to be true.
I was out when it happened. While most would consider themselves quite lucky, I felt the exact opposite. Not only had I failed to protect them, I had also survived. Needless to say, I took the loss hard. I had lost my loved ones and my purpose in life in the span of a day. I became broken, a mere shell of the person whom I had once been. I didn't think anything could fix me back then. I wandered for a time, just to keep myself from dwelling on, well, anything. Over the years I learned how to bear it though...and how to seal away that pain.
Eventually, I ended up here, at Trinity Castle. The ladies of the home greeted me, accepted me, and even offered me a job. They didn't press for knowledge of my past, but waited until I felt comfortable. It has been quite a while since then and I have settled into my position quite well. I rather like the work, it keeps me busy and I find that I enjoy taking care of others.
Darling, you will never know me truly, but I suppose giving you a little insight wouldn't hurt, hmm?
I am not always a kind person, but I'm not particularly cruel either. I simply adapt to the situation I'm in. I was raised seeing the darker side of things so I hold no illusions of this world we live in. Punishment is a must for any who disobey. Death is inevitable. And, everything comes with a price, you just don't know what that price is sometimes. I know how to be cordial, how to act friendly, but I don't tolerate disobedience or disrespect.
Now, I realize some of you hold the title of 'Master' or 'Mistress' while others among you are 'pets' and I understand all that said titles entail. But darlings, be warned, I don't care what you call yourself. Pets, I can and will discipline you. Masters and Mistresses, if you refuse to listen to me then I will take it to a higher authority. That being said, I don't particularly care what it is you do so long as it does not violate one of our rules or cause damage to the Castle or the surrounding property.
Mmm, I know that doesn't tell you much about my personality, but, well, that's all I'm telling you for now. You can try to get to know me if you'd like, but I like to keep my business to myself.
Oh, so you want to know what I can do, huh?
I am able to mend inanimate objects; restore them to their initial glory.
I can create portals into other dimensions. This allows me to travel to distant places quickly. I also have one which I use to store various objects.
I possess control of the element air, I can even cause it to become tangible.
