Alix

New character time!! Meet:

Alix

I'm Alix. Just Alix. Yes, there's a story behind it. But it's none of your business, okay?

*sighs* Just had too many people ask me about it.

But who knows. Maybe you'll find out someday.

However, that's not what I'm here for. I'm here to introduce myself. As I said, my name is Alix. I'm a... Water Akarei, specializing in ice. It's okay. Best of times, helps other people. Worst of times- Well, let's just not go there.

Hm. I didn't realize that's what I looked like. Guess so. My hair doesn't have that much curl, though. Other than that, don't really care what you see me as. Because I change.

... .. ... .. ...

Let's see...

I'm different. Different in a bad way.

I didn't grow up like other people. I don't act like other people. I don't talk like other people. I don't look like other people. I don't- You get the point yet?

But off of that topic. I have too much of that.

I live with the other Akarei. It's a nice place. There's a lake out, and when it gets cold, I teach my friends to skate. There's a forest near us, and I go out there a lot. It's a nice place to...just be myself. That's something I don't get a lot of.

Hobbies. Well, I sing... But don't you tell anyone. And I'm not singing for you. But I do sing.

Among other hobbies, I'm a Water Aka, which I said already. It comes with benefits, like swimming and controlling water and skating and stuff, but it also comes with prejudices.

Not many people here like the water. I don't know why. To me, water is beautiful. It's...kind of like me. Ever-changing and fluid, going along with the flow. When water un-calms, it takes a bit. I'm like that. It takes my temper a bit to rise up, but when it does, you fear it as bad as a hurricane.
It freezes when the cold comes, to keep itself whole. I do that. I "freeze up" so I can emerge whole later. It's a survival technique. Survival is my specialty.

Well... Anything I start, I finish. That's my...thing. I start something, I finish it. I believe that you should only start a job worth doing, and if it's worth starting, then it's worth finishing.

(Have I talked enough yet?)

I love dragons. Everything from the tips of their scaly heads to the bottom of their feet to the fire coming out of their mouths. They're beautiful creatures and very fun to work with.

Don't judge me by what I do with them, though.

Don't blame me for what I do.

Because it's the only thing I can do.

.... .... .... .... ....

If I haven't scared you off already with "my version of philosophy" and my odd way of talking, maybe we could chat sometime. Don't expect me to form attachments or friendships or anything, though.

Yeah.

Well, now you've met me. Nice seeing you and all, I guess. (How do I sign off?)

Alix, over and out.

There she is!

Alix's intro ended up being kind of different, but, as she admitted, she's different. ;)

Hope you liked her! And - also like she said - she's willing to chat with any who wants to. She'll answer questions about herself, down in the comment section. (Even though she doesn't admit it, she kind of enjoyed revealing little bits about herself. So you're welcome to ask questions. :) )

May God's blessing be on you and your writing throughout your week!
