Level Clearance: 7. Furry wanted Alex to help with the Tesseract and other classified missions because of her military experience.

Personality: Outgoing, Adventurous, Curious, Loyal, Un-trusting at first, likes doing her own thing instead of following orders or improvising... which usually works better than the original plan... sometimes.
Talents: Military genius (battle plans, fighting, weaponry, vehicles, technology). Can see in the dark, has incredibly fast reflexes, cells regenerate fast (quick healing), can see far away, hearing is impeccable.

Likes: Puzzles, things that make her think, easy going people, Motorcycles, practicing fighting strategies
Dislikes: People who boss her around, when she doesn't get her way

Bio:
Alex was made in a lab (yes made, she was a test tube baby). They were military scientists and wanted to create a human with exceptional skills for combat. Alex's retinas are able to stay open wider at night to give her night vision and her hearing is incredible. Her cells regenerate faster than the average human but she is still not invincible. Since she was able to walk they taught her to fight. She knows many martial arts and is able to pick up any weapon and know instantly how to use it because of her varied practices. They also taught her to use both hands so she is ambidextrous. With all of this use of weapon knowledge Alex prefers to use her two guns and a knife at her side. She also has a few throwing knives that she likes to use as well located on her belt. Through her training they tortured her to show her not to break if she ever got caught. They really pushed her to the limit, which for her is a lot. At the age of fourteen Alex escaped from the labs and she moved from country to country, staying alive with her survival skills. She is fluent in Russian, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Mandarin, Latin, Greek and English. Finally after a few years Alex got her self into some trouble and was apprehended by the German government but was then identified by Shield. Shield saw Alex's potential and continued to train her with difficulties. Since she was still a teenager she had a rebellious streak and having the knowledge of how to pick locks and hot wire cars didn't help.

Alex had difficulties at first trusting shield and its people there but later warmed up to them. She doesn't share much about her past but she can be very sarcastic at times and hard to handle but very loyal when the time comes to it. At times she doesn't act her age and a little immature but others she is way mature than most could ever be. Alex has been asked a lot of her whole life and wanted to please people but also wants to do stuff for herself sometimes and not feel like she is being used which can cause her to retaliate but eventually with give into helping out. Little by little she is learning to trust people and become a team player.

She is close friends with Clint Barton, Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. She often practices with Barton (hawkeye) and can sometimes outshoot him which really annoys him. At shield they have many motorcycles and often Alex ... borrows one and will see Steve out for a ride as well. The two share common characteristics but Alex is more secretive and less trusting right away. When Alex goes over to Stark tower she enjoys seeing Starks new gadgets and often makes some things herself (since she has military weapon making knowledge). The two love banting each other with smart allelic remarks until the other gives in and has to buy the other dinner.




(PS her skin is supposed to be lighter and her hair a tad darker... I just didn't have the right colors for it.)
