Name: Alex Morgan
Nickname(s): Lex/Alec
Age: 30
Sex: Female
Species: Human
Faceclaim: Cristiana Scabbia
Allignment: Unaligned
Rank: None
Code Name: None
Average Job Information:
Alex works as a delivery-girl for a food take-away. She works night shifts, which means a mainly nocturnal life, which she prefers.
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Dark brown, almost black
Height: 5ft 7inches
Build: Athletic
Overall Description:
Alex's hair reaches her waist and is left loose most of the time. She used to need glasses but, thanks to the ability to 'morph', she no longer does, which has changed her appearance quite a bit. While not having an especially tall or muscular build, Alex does have a strong stature, though it's more suited for speed than strength.
Alex usually wears dark clothing and trainers. She goes more for comfort than for style, and prefers to blend in with the crowd than to stand out. She tries her best to look like an average woman, as an effort to escape notice in this new, changed world and would prefer for her life to remain as it is.
Overall Description:
While once a young, passionate woman with a fierce loyalty to those she cared about, Alex is now a very cold individual who is careful to separate herself from anyone she cares about. Losing her parents, along with many of those close to her, in the war against the Yeerks drained Alex of her morality and she only participated in the end as revenge for her family and friends.
These days, Alex prefers to avoid conflict, although she won't backdown from a fight and will defend herself from attack. Also, if a child is being hurt, either emotionally or physically, she will try and help the child in any way she can.
She has a tendency to isolate herself from other people by going deep into the woodlands and remaining there for vast quantities to time.
Alex hates crowds and has a mild form of claustrophobia, which causes her to avoid shopping centres unless absolutely necessary. She will only join a crowd if she wanted to blend in and escape, but she could only spend a few minutes in there before she would freak out.
Alex also has a phobia of people walking right behind her, especially if they are anywhere near her ears. While normally quite calm, sometimes Alex will lash out at people for the smallest of reasons, and she does suffer from some random mood swings, which she does try and keep under control.
She feels much more relaxed when surrounded by nature, and much prefers to be surrounded by animals than humans. If she could, Alex would become a nothlit and remain in the wild, but she doesn't know what the Brotherhood are planning and would prefer to keep her options open. Alex would probably not even consider joining any group as she hates authority and prefers to work alone.

History:
Alex was born in Canada, but moved when her father got a job in California as a lawyer. Her mother stayed at home until Alex was old enough to go to school, before becoming a shop assistant in the near-by shopping centre. While not popular in school, Alex did have a few close friends and enjoyed school. She got good marks and was liked by the majority of the teachers.
Both her parents joined the Sharing when Alex turned 10, and they tried to get her to join them. She went to a few meetings, but soon got bored and didn't go after that. As time went on, some of her friends started to go to the meetings and one-by-one, they went strange and distant from everyone else.
Alex had contracted meningitis and was recovering in the hospital when she and the other young people on the ward were given the option to help out in the war against the Yeerks. Initially, Alex thought they were crazy but was soon convinced and agreed to help. She soon got the hang of morphing and loved the thrill of it.
During the war on the Yeerks, Alex found out that her parents were controllers and, although she tried to free them, they died during a fight. Their deaths were the changing point for Alex. She became colder and more distanced from those around her, striving only for revenge against the Yeerks. The rare times she wasn't fighting or sleeping, Alex spent walking in the woods, trying to take her mind off the war. She also learned as much as she could about wilderness survival, and became adept at taking care of herself in most environments.
Once the war was over, Alex went back to school, but her new personality made it hard for her to fit in. Her lack of respect for authority led to her being in trouble with the teachers frequently, and she got into constant fights with the other pupils. Passing her exams, although only just, she got a driving licence and became a delivery girl for a local take-away.
Alex lives in a small apartment near her work, which she paid for using some of the money her parents had left her in their will. Her job, while not paying her lots of money, is adequate for her to live comfortably. Her nights are spent working, while her days are spent either sleeping or going out for long walks, both as a human and as an animal. Her favourite animal is the falcon, as she loves to fly high over the ground and watch the world go by.
Anything Else:
While Alex doesn't like authority, she does have a respect for the animorphs, and she would join them again if they asked her to.
Alex woke up to the glare of light coming through the slit in her curtains and hitting her pillow, directly where her eyes were. Groaning softly and rolling to her side to block out the offending rays, she looked at the clock on her bed-side table.
"Damn, only 10am."
She grumbled, trying to bury her head further under the covers and return to the land of sleep. She had been working until 4 and couldn't get to sleep until 5.30. Unfortunately, Alex could tell that she wouldn't be getting anymore sleep that morning, and settled for a last half-hearted glare at the sun that shined merrily through her windows, and rolled out of bed.
