(I’d love to join this roleplay! I hope I’m not too late!)
Name: Alexandra Riviera
Feral form: Ring-Tailed Coatimundi (Nasua Nasua)
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Skills: Alexandra is highly adaptable, and is a reliable leader to almost any group/team she find herself in. She is competitive and strives to better herself, even if it hurts. Riviera has an iron will, and she sees giving up or forfeiting as a massive sign of weakness. This does not prevent her from being relaxed, however, and is quite skilled with clever quips and deadpan humor. She is dexterous, and stretches daily to keep her flexibility. Alexandra is also rather athletic for her age, and tries her best to keep her muscular physique in tip top shape.
Weaknesses: Alexandra will work herself to death, quite literally. It is nigh impossible to get her to give up, even on the littlest of things. Her competitive nature can also lead to ‘incidents’ with other students. Riviera also perceives being any form of burden as wrong, so if she gets sick or injured, Alexandra will keep it to herself. Anything short of dying will keep her away from a nurse’s or doctor’s office. She has a fear of failure, and a fear of wasps/hornets/yellow jackets.
Student, Teacher, or admin: Student
Appearance: Alexandra stands at a short 4’11”, and has a smug grin almost always on her freckled face. Her skin is naturally a medium tan, and her hair is a dark, almost black, brown. It’s always tied up into a braid to stay out of her light hazel eyes. Riviera’s common attire is a t-shirt, hoodie, and a pair of leggings. She doesn’t like jeans due to their stiffness, and much prefers leggings to them.
Backstory: Alexandra was born as the 3rd child in a family of 7, including the parents. With four brothers and busy parents, Alexandra was no stranger to competition or danger. She learned quickly that the only way to get something she wanted was to work for it, be it recognition, respect, or a chocolate bar. Riviera developed a thick skin as she grew, and also became a mean fighter who wasn’t afraid to fight dirty.
Personality: Alexandra is adaptable, especially in social situations. Despite being tough as nails, the short girl knows how to let loose and have a good joke. She is charismatic, and often subconsciously picks up mannerisms, speech, and slang from her peers. This leads to her fitting in with many groups, although belonging to very few. Riviera’s sense of humor is naturally deadpan, and a bit dark. She’s pragmatic and a problem-solver, and not to mention clever. Alexandra is as stubborn as a mule, and knows what she wants and will not stop to achieve it. She is a firm believer in working hard, and will often burn herself out due to cramming schoolwork. Riviera absolutely despises being a burden, or showing any form of weakness. If she’s sick or injured, nobody will be able to tell unless they check for signs. This generally leads to Alexandra making things worse for herself, and being miserable when illness or injury does come to her.
