detailed appearance: Alexa is a pretty tall (5'8), leanly muscled and very physically fit. Having spent the majority of her life outside, her skin is more weathered than tanned- it probably won't age well, but for now she has a relatively attractive complexion. Her facial features- eyes, nose and mouth- work well to compliment one another. She sometimes wears her hair straightened, in which case it is sleek and glossy- but she has to put in a lot of work to achieve the end result, and mostly Exa just leaves it untamed, which means it's loosely curled and a little frizzy. She's pretty in a wild sort of way.
Alexa takes pride in her body- she works hard to keep in peak condition both in and out of human form. As a women, she's slender and lithe, with very little fat on her stomach, arms or thighs. Her torso is quite long in relation to her legs, and her shoulders are a little broader than average, though you wouldn't notice as she always wears her hair down. Her whole body is littered with both wolf and human inflicted scars. The only ones your eye would really be drawn to if she was fully clothed would be the myriad of marks across her palms, fingers and knuckles.
As a wolf, her build is similar- long, and a little top heavy when you compare her powerful shoulder to her slender hips. Her legs are long, and her body is chorded with lean muscle beneath her fur. There's a dangerous finesse to the way she moves as a wolf- Exa enjoys revels in her increased capacity for strength and speed and will exercise both when given an excuse. She has short, almost fluffy, black fur run through with light grey around her shoulders and flank.
detailed personality: Alexa values freedom and independence above all else. She grew up on a remote farm full of other werewolves, and they'd often change forms for simple tasks such as herding cattle. It was more dangerous than it sounded- Exa's aunt Marie was killed by a kick to the temple- but in her opinion, nothing quite compares to hurtling in pursuit of a powerful beast, knowing with all certainty that nothing can bring you down. She's up for any adventure of any sort, and will often get herself and others into difficult situations in the pursuit of fun- if she's honest with herself, which she rarely is, Exa enjoys the fallout.
She tends to push herself right to breaking point, which she regards as a strength but is arguably a weakness. It's not that Alexa doesn't know her own limits- it's that she sees them, and totally disregards them. She's remarkably tolerant of the flaws of other's, but when it comes to self examination it's a whole different ballgame- one that she's not at all willing to play.
Exa gets things done with minimal fuss, and if she's suffering in any way she's loath to complain. She prides herself on being tough as nails, and dependable to those whom she trusts, and if there's anything compromising her ability to be that then Exa will do her best to hide it.
If she likes you, then Alexa is the cuddliest, friendliest girl- she tends to flirt with both close friends and crushes alike, which can be a little confusing for others. She's just a very casually intimate person.
Exa loves and fights hard- she's an incredibly passionate creature, and tends to hold others in extremely high or low regard.
