Hobz
Name: Alexia Matthews
Meaning: Alexia = To Defend, To Help. Matthews = The Gift of the Lord.
Nickname(s): Her friends call her either by her full name, Alexia, or by the nicknames Lexi or Alex. Her family tends to call her Allie, or Al.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Preference: Bi-sexual
Studying: Music, Music Composition, Art and Musical Theatre.
Physical Appearances: Alexia is small, standing at a total 5 foot 1 and of thin build with delicate facial features.
Her hair is a chocolate brown in colour that reaches just past her shoulders and is naturally curly. She has a side parting to the left, and a fringe that sweeps over her forehead to the right side of her face. She tends to wear her hair down, in it's naturally curly state, though if the situation calls for it, she will pin it up either in a half up half down style or in a rough ponytail.
Her eyes are a beautiful green colour, the only one in her family to inherit her father's eyes. Her eyes are very expressive, her emotions are often displayed clearly in those green orbs of hers, though she is learning to drain her eyes of all emotion, so as not to be so obvious about her thoughts and feelings.
Piercings: One set in her ears.
Tattoos: None
Other distinguishing features: She has a mole by her left eye.
Clothing Style: Alexia wears clothes that are comfortable for her and help her to blend in somewhat. Jeans are her number one choice of trousers, which she will wear Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, though she can be tempted into wearing cut-offs or shorts if she gets too hot. She rarely wears a skirt, and only actually owns one, which her older sister bought for her a few years ago.
She ranges in the type of top she wears though. Her preference is t-shirts, in various colours and often with characters or sayings on them. Over the top of these she wears thin light weight jackets, acting as a coat. In the summer she will also wear strap tops/vest style tops, or sleeve-less tops, again often accompanied with a light weight jacket to act as a coat. In the winter she likes to wear fitted jumpers, with 3/4 length sleeves with a strap top underneath.
Her footwear ranges on what outfit she is wearing and where she is going to. If alot of walking is involved she will either wear her trainers or one of her many pairs of flats, ballet pump style. She is no stranger to heels though, having been brought up in a female dominated household, she owns masses upon masses of heels, in various colours, styles and heights. And if she doesn't own the perfect pair for her outfit of choice, then no doubt her younger sister has. It sure comes in handy that they have the same sized feet. Alexia also has many pairs of boots, flat and heeled, ankle and knee-high, suede and leather.
In terms of jewelry she has never been a fan of lots of it, choosing instead to wear a simple silver chain, with matching silver stud earrings. She also wears a simple silver bracelet around her left wrist with her watch on her right.

Strengths:
- Her Strength - She is a lot more stronger than she looks. She doesn't even realise the extent of her strength and is yet to test her limits.
- Quick Reflexes - She has very quick reflexes, almost to the extent of being unnaturally fast.
- Calm Soothing Presence - Her position in her family as the peacekeeper means she has this natural calming and soothing presence. Many people have commented about how if she appeared when they were on edge, upset or angry then they immediately started to calm down and become rational again. The only one who it seems not to effect is Alexia herself.
- Musical Ability - She started learning to play Piano at a young age and has always loved it. Hence why one of her lesson choices was to continue Music and Music Composition. It is the number one way she has found to calm herself down. She also has a musical ear and can identify any song, be it classical or modern. Her voice is quite good aswell, though she rarely lets anyone hear her sing.
Weaknesses:
- Lack of Self Importance - She has never seen herself as important, and is constantly doubting herself and her ability to do anything. She puts herself at the bottom of the 'food chain', and refuses to accept the fact that she is important to people.
- Lack of Self Preservation - She has a disregard for her own safety and health when it comes to others. She will quite happily throw herself in front of danger, no matter the size, be it getting hit by a small rock to getting burned by boiling water or something along those lines.
- She sees any failure as her own fault - If anything goes wrong, she always automatically blames herself. No matter whose fault it really was.
- Her determination can make her very single-minded at times.
Fears:
- Loosing the People She Cares About.
- Failing the People She Cares About.
- Drowning
Personality: Alexia is a quiet girl who has a shyness but once that is overcome is one of the friendliest, kindest girls you could meet. She always looks out for others and constantly puts them and their happiness ahead of her own. She has a temper though and can be quite hard-headed when it comes to something that she believes in. If she trusts you, considers you a friend and you say something she doesn't agree with, she will tell you.
Family:
Mother - Felicita Matthews - 46

Background: Alexia comes from a large family. Her mother is an Italian woman who chose to marry an English man. Her father. She has two older brothers, one 26 and one 20, an older sister, 24, and a younger sister, 14. She was born and raised in England, with frequent visits to her relatives over in Italy. Coming from such a large and flamboyant family, she often stands out as the quiet one, preferring to keep her own counsel than to let her many family members know her thoughts and feelings. She loves her family though and would do anything for them. All her siblings take after the Italian side of the family concerning their looks, having darker hair, dark eyes etc. Whereas herself takes after her father and the more English looks. Another reason why she stands out so much from her siblings. All throughout her school years she was known as the quiet one of the Matthew's clan, always been compared to her older siblings and it annoyed her a great deal. Not that she is ashamed of her family, quite the opposite, she is proud to be a Matthews. But she wanted to be known for who she was. This is where her lack of importance comes from as she has never been treated like she was. But in an attempt to change this, she chose which College to go to herself, one where her siblings hadn't gone and where she could be her own person... if she could only start believing in herself.
