.:Name of Character:. Alexander Michaelis
.:Nick Name:. Alex
.:Age:. 19
.:Status:. Servant
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Alexander is tall and lanky with a slight build. He is not heavily muscled but he does enough lifting that he is toned enough to avoid an overly awkward appearence. Alex has bright blue eyes and a light complexion with short brown hair. His eyelashes are long enough to give off the slightest feminine quality. A strong brow coupled with a thin nose tops a constant smile. No distinguishing birth marks to speak of, but Alex has a couple of scars on his hands from kitchen work.
Alex most often wears what all servants in the kitchen wear. Simple shirts and patched pants with an apron. Alex doesn't often wear nice clothes or clothes that are new due to the very likely possibility they will get ruined while working in the kitchens. However, all of his shirts tend to be cuffed at the sleeves or have short sleeves to avoid them catching fire or getting stained while he works.
.:Height:. 5'11
.:Portrayed by:. Chris Pine
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Alexander is a very genial person and enjoys being social. A very loquatious person, Alex has the tendency to talk a bit to much for his own good. Seemingly almost never in a bad mood, Alex is always trying to cheer people up. Although not educated very much, Alex is clever and a good problem solver. With a mind for organization, Alex prioritizes well and is good with working in chaos. Alex is great at teamwork since he is a people person. With an attention to detail not many people know he has, Alex is always good at tasks which require observational skills or an eye for small details.
Alex tends to be a bit too friendly, and it can come off as overly flirtatious if taken the wrong way. His big mouth also tends to get him into trouble if he is not careful of what he says and to whom. A hopeless gossip and flirt he runs the risk of not being taken seriously by others. Charming and bold, Alex loves giving and recieving attention. While not always the most motivated person, Alex is very persistant when it comes to something he sets his eyes on. Though Alex seems silly and light-hearted, when given a task he always pulls his focus in enough to complete it. Normally relatively brave, Alex has an aversion to heights. Alex is also very fond of dogs and is always feeding strays when no one is paying attention. A special skill Alex found he had is an exeptional sense of taste and the ability to pick out ingriedients in foods.
Alex's greatest soft-spot, however, is for his little sister Lita whom he holds in the highest regards, and spoils rotten.

| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Lowertowns, Camelot
.:Family:. Alex's father died when he was young. His mother, who works in lowertowns at a small bakery, is remarried. Alex has a younger sister sister who is five years old.
.:Occupation:. Servant in the palace kitchens.
.:Current Location of Residence:. Above the bakery his stepfather owns.
.:History:. Alexander's parents were shop keepers in Camelot with not much money. Alex was ten when his father died from a sickness. Alex's mother, Dianna, remarried three years later to the owner of a small bakery which Alex had apprenticed at. His new stepfather, Max, was fond of Alex and helped him to get a job at the palace kitchens through a friend of his when Alex was 14. This was also the same year that Alex's younger sister Lita was born. Alex continued to live at home while during the day he worked as a servant in the palace.
Alex had always been a social person and when not working he could always be found chatting with whoever happened to be in the general vicinity. On his off-days Alex tends to help at the bakery and is known for putting customers into a good mood.
Alex learned the basics of reading, writting, and figures from his stepfather so he could help keep records of sales at the bakery but was never further educated in any academic subjects. Learning how to cook and bake at his stepfather's side awakened the passion for food Alex now has.
Every spare moment when not at the palace or bakery is spent with his sister Lita, for whom he has a soft spot.
