Physical Description: Alexia is small for a tiger of her age. Despite being the firstborn cub of the litter, she is by far the smallest. Her pelt displays the melanistic mutation, instead of the bright orange and black, or light grey of her parents, she is a dull brown with darker brown stripes. Her stripes evoke a sort of oriental feeling, something that, when placed next to each other, is evident she gained from her biological grandmother Rama. her fangs and tuft of fur come from her father. Her eyes are a curious color, being mainly amber, but with a ring of blue around her pupils. Nobody's quite sure how this combination came to be, but it had a beautiful outcome. The fur on the back of her neck is thicker and longer than the fur on the rest of her neck.
Armor: The armor that Alexia had as an apprentice was stolen and discarded by the bandits who kidnapped her, so that she could be sold without any questions asked. She has yet to get a new set since she only just returned to active duty.

Personality, Biography, and History
Personality
Friendly|Protective|Mischievous|Loving|Sleeper|Curious|Anxious
Friendly: "Hey, my name's Alexia, nice to see a friendly face after so long."
After being alone in the wilderness for so long stumbling around attempting to find her way home, Alexia is more than releived to be back in civilization again. Almost everyone she knew when she was young is gone, and she is interested in making new friends. Aside from that, even years in the wilderness hasn't done anything to dampen her friendly spirit.
Protective: "I may be small but I will mess you up if you mess with my family."
Despite being much smaller than other tigers her age, she is very feisty and protective for her age. After returning back home, she's very protective of what family she has left. They can all handle themselves of course, but she refuses to lose anyone else again, barring moving or dying of natural causes. This extends to friends too, and while its an admirable trait, she can become over the top with it, not quite possessive, but a reaction from spending years helpless in a cage.
Mischievous: "Heh, Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, I won't tell you."
While tempered with years passing, once she's comfortable around someone, her old prankster streak can pop up. She can't get away with as much as she could as a cub of course, but she definately can act like she's still the cub of the current hunter leader. This is something only seen around family and close friends currently, but may pop up more often as she recovers from her years of isolation.
Loving: "Hey, it's okay. I'll be here for you whenever you need me."
She may have her trickster streak, but at the end of the day, Alexia is a very loving tiger at heart. Being a sister and having grown up with a loving mother, Alex has picked up a few things about letting others know she cares about them. She makes sure to take time out of her day to help or listen to a friend if they need her too. She's there to offer a hug or a head rub to anyone who's feeling down, or her shoulder to cry on. This trait is a tad rusty from her lack of feline interaction, but in no time at all she'll fall back into her old patterns.
Loves to sleep: "Why go outside when we have all these soft pillows right here? Let me sleep, I'm not scheduled to patrol for another hour at least."
While lazy wouldn't be an accurate term to give Alexia, sleepy sure is. She never misses an opportunity to nap, when she was little she was the last of her siblings to get up in the morning. Her favorite thing to do during cold days is finding a patch of sunlight and laying in it, preferably with a pillow. If you ever can't find Alexia, you can probably bet she's on some pillow somewhere taking a nap. And don't think of trying to wake her up, unless you want to deal with a grumpy tiger for the rest of the day. Now that shes back in civilzation, she is extra protective of her uninterrupted sleep time in a nest of pillows in a sunbeam.
Curious: "Hey what's up with that?"
Alexia has been gone for... a while now. Things have vastly changed since she was kidnapped several years ago, and she wants to know about them. Her own faction has changed so much its a lot to take in at once. Expect her to be asking lots of questions for the foreseeable future.
Anxious: "Can, can you stay for a bit? I'm not sure I want to be alone right now."
As much as she hasn't changed, its clear that her time being lost has changed her. She's not as sure of herself as she used to be, and she's jumpy around strange humans. Part of this is why she requested to be a sentinel instead of a hunter when she returned. She wants to work on it, but doesn't feel like she's got the nerve to head out and hunt down empire cats just yet. Maybe one day, but for now she's too anxious for it.
Biography
The circumstances of Alexia's birth weren't unusual, but at the same time, it wasn't entirely normal. Her parents were both hunters, her mother the leader. Her father's master had entered Alukard in a breeding program, which gave her parent's relationship some strain at the start. Alukard, her biological father, was paired with, another tiger by the name of Kleio, one of the elites. Her mother, Shadow, had known about this, and made Alukard swear he would take no part in the lives of Kleio's cubs. Soon after Shadow knew she had a litter on the way, a great battle erupted in the city. The battle brought a change in status quo for the hunters. The leader, Thanatos, disappeared, and Shadow rose to the rank of leader, and the silver position was filled in by Shen.
On a cold day in early November, Shadow gave birth to her litter, the day before Kleio birthed her own. Four cubs, two male, and two females. One cub was born with a dark grey/brown coat, smaller in size than the others, a runt, just like her father. A cold gust wafted through the house the three tigers had been born into, and the little tigress crawled on-top of her sister with a high pitched mewl. It almost seemed like the cub was trying to protect her larger sister from the cold air with her body. Her parents, intrigued by the behavior named her Alexia, the defender, the shield.
Background Information
Alexia's childhood was framed by the aftermath of the battle of Masillia in 46 BC, though she wouldn't have realized it until she was older. No, she busied herself with playing with her siblings, and the other tiger cubs that looked similar to them but weren't her siblings, except they were, but she wouldn't find that out until much later. She struck a particularly close friendship with Rita, her half sister and the two were even purchased by the same master when they were old enough, and they were apprenticed to the bounty hunter program soon after. But in the background, her home life wasn't neccesarily the most stable. Her mom and dad broke up when she was young, something that upset the small cub. Thankfully she had her siblings to distract her, but even that couldn't distract anyone from the next life shaking event.
Shortly after she was apprenticed, both her mother, Shadow, and her half siblings parents, Shen and Kleio, vanished while on patrol. It was supposed to have been a routine patrol, nothing unusual and they should have been back quickly. But the hours stretched into days, weeks, months. Alexia did her best to be there for her siblings, but duties as a bounty hunter apprentice kept her busy, and her own grief kept her from being as effective as she'd have liked. The desire to do something, anything, began to eat at her.
And so she made a decision that was very out of character for her. One night, clad in her apprentice armor, she snuck out of the city. She had to find them, their parents, or at least what had happened to them. She refused to beleive they'd died or been captured.
She did not get very far.
Bandits would probably not usualy be so bold as to kidnap a cat belonging to the bounty hunter program. But Alexia was always a small tiger, even at almost a year old she was barely half the size of her siblings. And she was an apprentice, inexperienced, she hadn't had to learn how to escape traps yet. So only a couple of days into her expidition, she was set upon by a gang of bandits, muzzled, overpowered, and tossed into their wagon like she was some empire cat. Knowing that they couldn't easily sell her with the bounty hunter crest embossed onto her armor, the armor is torn up and tossed. Plus the blood that was on it from when she fought back made it look like she'd been killed. She would wind up being labled as missing in action, and she isn't sure if anyone ever found her torn up armor.
The cage she had been transfered into shortly after her kidnapping was covered with a tarp except for when she was being fed. To this day she couldn't tell you how long she was kept for, only that she wasn't being taken on any normal roads, no, there were too many stops to push the cart out of holes or over roots for that. The thieves were taking as roundabout a path as possible, in order to avoid being questioned by roman soldiers on the road. Occasionally the tarp would be removed and some new person would examine her from the safety of the other side of the cage. Potential buyers, but none ever took her, as her small size made her seem less imposing than she was. So Alexia sat, and waited, and eventually, one of the bandits slipped up.
It was after a feeding, Alexia was busy tearing into the meat she'd been given when she noticed that the lock didn't click in the same way it always did every time the door was shut. She paused, wiping the juice off her muzzle with a flick of her tounge as she finished her meal. After straining to listen for the sounds of the bandits moving, she tugged at the edge of the tarp until she could lift a portion to see outside. It was night. she let the tarp down and tried the door. The lock still held but it hadn't been fastened properly. Rolling her shoulders and backing into the corner of the cage, she bunched her muscles in her back legs and used what strength she had to hurl herself full force into the lock. She heard the metal crack as she impacted and suddenly she was slamming into the wooden sides of the wagon, the tarp catching in her claws as she twisted to find her balance. The commotion woke up the bandits and in the loud shouting she let out a roar, and the bandits realized just who they had caged.
While she didn't kill all of them, the one or two she did take out stunned the others long enough for her to gain significant ground in her escape. She left the bandits behind in the darkness, but she had a new problem now. She was lost.
She spent the next several years wandering. She had long since given up her mission of finding Shadow, Shen, and Kleio. She was too young for this and also had no idea where she was or how to get home. She got by, what little hunter training she had proved to be very effective at well... hunting prey. But every night she spent out in the rain or trudging through the snow or mud made her wish she was back home, laughing and having fun with her friends and family. Seasons passed before she got lucky during a chance encounter on the road.
Alexia had been avoiding roads for the most part, wary of new humans that she didn't recognize. But one day while hiding in some bushes, a face that she rememebred when she was young. A relative of her old master, or a friend perhaps, she couldn't remember. She took the risk to crawl out from the bushes and approach the human and hope for the best. She looked like a wreck, underfed, her fur groomed but clearly not as well maintained as she'd used to because of stress, her fur still caked in mud in places from the rain before. However, thankfully, the human recognized her from all those years ago, and approached her gently. She could have cried.
The next few weeks were on the road, but now she didn't mind, because she had a familiar face with her. The cousin and their group arrived in a small town nearby, and Alexia was taken straight to a doctor to be seen to. Months later, Alexia was looking much better, and feeling better, and so she was returned to Massilia. The cousin ended up buying her, wishing to return her to the new wardens program in Masillia, and her old owner having left for Rome years prior. This time, Alexia willingly got on a wagon.
She was going home.

Shadow's my mom. She's the leader, she says that means she's really good at her job. Mama loves me and my siblings, and she makes sure to take time out of each day for us, even when she's really busy. I love my mom, she's the best in the world!

// Entry 1~
My dad! He's really big, but not bigger than Mama! He shares the same fang like teeth as me, and I think that's really cool. He seems really imposing, but he's actually a really big softie. My favorite thing to do with him is curl up against his fluffy chest and sleep, or, climb up on top of his head and let him take me for a ride around the city when he's out patrolling. I try not to squish his mohawk, but I don't always succeed. He's not to upset about it though, or at least, I don't think he is.
