Personality: Alexandra is a quiet woman, not often striking conversations up, and whenever it starts, she talks in short sentences, and often many people can't understand it, due to her thick Russian accent. She remains neutral to the Royalists and the Government, not wanting to be caught in their conflict.
Alexandra's parents were already immigrating to England from Russia when she was born, in the middle of their long trip, when they were crossing through the Czech Republic when she was born. Her mother, due to unpreparedness died during childbirth. Her father made that failure up by risking his life many times to find things for Alexandra. Toys, food, shelter, it didn't matter, he had to make up not being prepared for childbirth. Alexandra's father, not able to find the will to travel any further, stayed in the Czech Republic for a few years, and taught Alexandra how to fight and use firearms as soon as she turned 10.
She wasn't too bad with guns, but she only used small weapons, like pistols, and small rifles. She eventually moved onto her father's hunting rifle at 14. One time while scavenging at the age of 17, she saw a man in big armor, and with an automatic weapon walking through the lands, and she could see the raiders running up to him. She watched in anticipation, and the traveller, unaware that the raiders were behind him, only turned at the last second when the knife was driven into his neck. In vengeance, as she felt that it was her responsibility to ward raiders away, she fired at them, and killed the group of 6 before they knew where she was. She travelled down the hill as fast as possible, and as the man was dead, borrowed his gun, ammo and armor. A marksman carbine, 5.56mm rounds, which were plentiful, and black combat armor.
When she arrived back at the camp, her father, seeing Alexandra was a grown woman, able to live by herself, decided that they should keep travelling to England. They packed up their equipment, and took as much with them as they could, and forwarded to England. First, through Germany, then Belgium, and finally France. Upon making it to the Eurotraders, they got safe passage through giving them all of their surplus guns and ammo. They finally did it, what Alexanda's mother and father started 20 years ago. Her father did make it onto English soil, but died, unfortunately due to old age. Alexandra felt proud however, that she got her father into England, his mission, accomplished. For the next 7 years, she took odd jobs around England, mercenary here, worker there, anything for some money. Her English speaking got a lot better over the years, and can speak fluently now.
