The Outer Layer
Physical Appearance;
You know how a lot of people say they can see into a person's soul while looking into another person's eyes? Well, Alexis is that exact cliché. Her eyes reveal a part of her sometimes that she doesn't want anybody to know for her eyes deceive her. They are almond shaped and are the same colour as her father's; crystal blue. She is rather proud of them and views them to be her best feature. Most girls perceive their breasts or bums as their best feature, but this young woman begs to differ.
Her hair is rather striking as well for it stands out among the crowd. It is long, dark, curly and she inherited it from her father. Basically, she's a carbon copy of her father (although her mother claims that Alexis got her good looks from her side of the family.) Her jaw line is prominent and (according to her father), when she sets her jaw, she looks oddly like her aunt's impersonations of her uncle. Although they try to speak lightly of him, it's hard sometimes, what with his death and all.
Alexis's figure is petite and small-framed. She doesn't have much of the stereotypical good looking figure (big breasts, big bum, etc), but she's not ashamed of her body. But, just because she's comfortable with it doesn't mean that she wants to show it off all the time. Quite the contrary, she hides herself in long sleeved outfits and such. She hates showing skin for some reason; it irks her. Although, her style is one that will always be remembered. She likes to make her own style and stand out amongst the crowd. So, unlike most Wizards in the Wizarding World, she is perfect at picking out stylistic outfits that really bring out her personality.
The Inner Layer
Patronus; Jaguar
Boggart; Being overpowered
Strengths; Dark arts, showing no emotions, killing those who deserve it, flirting, partying, seducing people, getting what she wants.
Weaknesses; Her family, boys, people who have an advantage over her, people with power.
Personality; Alexis Faith Grindelwald is stubborn and arrogant, she is a real tough person who will take you down within seconds. She can be sweet when she wants, even friendly but never at first impression. She loves to joke around and have fun, mostly mess around with you a bit, before showing you the ‘other’ side. Alexis doesn’t try to show off and impress people like a lot of other do, she just does it anyway weather it was in her intentions or not. She has a natural talent at impressing people even without trying. First impressions don’t mean much to her though. When Alexis has an idea in her head, it’s stuck and imprinted there. When she believes she’s right about something, she has no second guesses.
Alexis is a girl who will go all out, if you piss her off. She has a big temper, sometimes uncontrollable, and she hates to be restricted from doing things. She can have a bad attitude often, and does what she wants, when she wants. Most of the time she’s mad at her friends and sometimes her sister. Then to make things worse, her friends would step in and defend her sister, no matter how wrong she could be. At times she though her sister was entirely too gullible , and expected too much from her. But Alexis has a careless attitude some of the time. Anger is something you see a lot in Alexis but she usually takes it out on muggles rather than her friends and those around her.
Even though she’s mean to those she dislikes, which is hardly anyone, if you manage to get on her good side, she’ll be kind to you and can make people laugh just as easily as she can insult them. Alexis is a fairly charismatic person, always quick with an insult and can hold a conversation well. It has helped Alexis through a lot of things, it helped her hold and gain friendships. Being charismatic was always a plus for Alex but then it could also result in big minus. As Alexis gets to know people she’ll start opening up and talk to people more but when she starts to talk it will probably take a few hours to shit her up, she’s like a radio, sometimes it will just annoy the crap out of you.
Alexis is fiercely loyal to those that she loves, and she would rather die than betray and friend or a family member. Alex has very few enemies, but you certainly don’t want to become one of them. If she doesn’t like you, you will know it. She has never been shy about her feelings towards others, and she finds it a complete waste of her time to talk about someone behind their back. Alexis is also sarcastic and this comes off the wrong way to a lot of people
The Past
History;”History is a boring principle. Unless the part you are learning about , is something you are interested in. But personal histories, whilst being completely important to the person themselves, are rarely fascinating reads. So why anyone would willingly sit there and research into other peoples’ pasts is beyond me. Especially when they are as uneventful as my own. I mean, I could understand wanting to read about someone’s life if it was extraordinary and weird, but sadly, my story does not fit these said qualities.”
“Alexis Faith Grindelwald” Her mother whispered, as she held her daughter for the first time that day, the tiny, warm body fitting into her arms as if the baby girl was made for her. And through teary eyes, she handed the tiny baby back to the healer, to return to the incubator. Merlin only knew the next time she would hold the three-pond body in her arms once more. The birth of Alexis Grindelwald was not an easy one, nor was the pregnancy for that matter. It was ridden with complications from day one, one thing after the next, after the next going wrong and spoiling the happiness that two terribly in love people should have felt. Charles Lewis Grindelwald and Selena Dawn Winters where childhood sweethearts, though not in the most conventional sense possible. She attended Hogwarts and he attended Drumstang, Alexis’s father wanted to move to England and that is where Charles had met Selena and fell in love, it all just clicked. They always talked so wonderfully, about their relationship in their younger years, about all the things that had happened between them- married at a young age, and no one ever argued. It was easy to see who was in love with who, when the two where around. Thankfully the couples prayers where answered and their daughter turned out to be a beautiful and healthy baby.
Alexis was born incredibly premature- seven months along, thirty two weeks- always a small child, but thankfully she was born without the several disabilities that the healer had stated to be brought onto their daughter. The couple’s young daughter was finally released from St.Mungo’s and brought back to their home, in which she had to see with her crystal blue eyes. The first few months where hard on the couple, frightened to turn their backs on their daughter in case something happened but nothing ever did and Charles began to get attached to his daughter. As Alexis got a few years older her mother and father taught her everything a parent should teach their child and the family grew stronger by the day.
On April 6th, Charles and Selena held their second daughter and last child for the first time, while three year old Alexis was at home with the nannies and house elves. The couple were still very young at the time, ages 21 and 22. What a happy little family they would be. Living in their large sized mansion in London town. Unlike some families, Charles and Selena didn’t have money issues. The couple where both quite wealthy at the time and both had high ranked jobs. Both of their children were unexpected and completely unplanned, but they loved them nevertheless.
It was a great surprise and honour when Alexis got accepted into Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Going to school was like riding a broom, easy and she just sped past it with ease. She had learned having many friends and being smart could have its advantages. The girl was popular but she had a small problem. Like her great grandfather, Alexis took an interest in the dark arts and she practised in private after persuading her father over the summer to teach her. She was a professional in her sixth year and could take down anyone who was in her way. Alexis’s had a dark aura about her, it gained respect and people feared her after they realized who her great grandfather was. The witch broke the rules many times and was never good at following them either.
After graduating with all passes in her exams, Alexis Faith Grindelwald disappeared without any notice and was quite the talk in the wizarding world for quite some time. The witch went to France and spent two years of her life living there contently. Now why would a young lady such as herself disappear? Alexis’s was running, running from the past. She had killed someone. A muggle. Scum. And she enjoyed it. The feeling was overpowering, it scared her and that was why she ran. It was only on her twentieth birthday that she returned to dull England looking for something new and she had found it.
She was a deatheater; one of the best and she was ready to make a change.Put You To The Test

Roleplay Sample; ‘’It’s just a normal day. A very normal, regular, basic day. No, I didn’t just break up with my boyfriend. No, I didn’t drunkenly shout it was over at him. We are just arguing, he just so happened to get up and leave incredibly willingly. What man does that when his girlfriend say’s or shouts in my case that it’s over? Did he even care?…I didn’t think so. Bloody git. I hope he enjoys his crappy…”
“Miss Garner, are you there?” Blinking repeatedly the picture became clearer, ‘Obviously. I wish I wasn’t though.’ Covering her mouth, she coughed lightly making sure her voice avoided the chances of sounding like a croaking toad. “Yes Mrs Bones, How may I help you?” Her tone of voice sounded calm and clear for the first time that day. Staring at the old woman, Faith waited with patience for the elderly witch to get her words together. Susan Bone’s mother was a regular visitor to the hospital usually seeking potions to help her recover from cold sores or back pains. “I was hoping you’d be able to give me a potion for a chesty cough? None of the other nurses didn’t seem to have the time to help, they just walked past before I got the chance to speak.” Merlin. That woman was a classic pro when it came to throwing the sympathy card out there. The other nurses weren’t affected but Faith was a sucker for it. Finding her voice Faith took a chance to speak, “Okay Mrs Bones. I’ll be back in a few minutes. Don’t wander of because I don’t have the time to wander after you.”
Work was such a crappy place, it was filled with crappy employees and crappy patients. Yes, she was among those crappy employees but she wasn’t going to let herself sink that though and believe she was a member of the ‘crappy employee’s’ group. Hell no. She needed alcohol, especially on a day like this.
After she had collected Mrs Bones potion, she hurried her way to make to the woman before she decided to catch another witch and ask her for the same potion. There was no point on wasting good potions, was there? Surprisingly, Mrs Bones resided to sit on the waiting room chair and well, wait for her. “Mrs Bones, here you go. Take a spoonful each day. Remember only one. I recommend you take it after dinner or lunch.” Watching the lady slowly make her way towards the exit, Faith lifted her hand lightly attempting to pass a small wave goodbye but it was a failed attempt.
“Moira I’m taking the day off tomorrow. My father is unwell and I was planning on taking a visit to see how he’s coping. I’ll be back first thing on Friday. Thanks and Bye.” Not bothering to wait for a response from the head nurse, Faith disappeared almost immediately after she spoke her words. Her destination; the three broomsticks.
‘Fun. Alcoholic Beverages. Drunken Mess. Those are the keywords. Those are the words I focus on all night, no distractions, no men…Okay, some men wouldn’t hurt. It’s supposed be fun after all.’
“I’ll take the strongest thing you’ve got.” Wasn’t that always what she asked for? Looking at the bartender who’s expression was rather doubtful, her eyes seemed to speak for themselves, slowly turning into a cold glare. Like everything else, it worked and he went on his way to fetch her a drink.
