--------------------------------------------------

Phobia: Failure. She is absolutely terrified of failure and finds it not an option at all for her. She has been terrified of it since childhood due to the perfectionist tendencies her parents drove into her growing up. She is also terrified of bees to the point that if she hears any sort of buzzing near her ear, she will totally flip out.
Habit: She tends to pick at her typically well-manicured nails when bored or in a hurry but talking to a person to be polite and to keep face.
Pet Peeve: Insubordination. Everything to Lexi needs structure, and to have structure, there has to be degrees of authority. If people are undermining or challenging that authority, it pisses her off whether she's the one who is in authority in the given situation or not. It not only could risk one's own life but also those of his teammates. While typically she has enough sense to remain quiet to avoid undermining the person's authority herself, she will usually be hotheaded towards the person for a good while.

Personality:
One might describe Lexi as a bunch of things depending upon the degree to which he knows her as well as the way in which he knows her. The following are a mere sampling of said descriptions:

• Bitch. When Lexi's got her mind set on something, it's as though she becomes obsessed with whatever it is. She will tell someone off even if they're being helpful or merely give someone the cold shoulder for no reason. Therefore, some of the more sensitive people she has met probably view her as a bit of a bitch and have never bothered to get to know her otherwise. She herself is fine with this. What people think doesn't matter to her.

• Passionate. Of course, this could be easily re-termed as "head strong." When she believes in something, she goes full-force after it and does whatever it takes to accomplish it. She is the one everyone can rely on to be there for meetings and take charge when necessary to get things done. She volunteers, organizes, etc. It's easily seen how this could also lead to be a fault. There is such a thing, after all, of being too passionate.

• Impulsive. While she tends to be calculated with her decisions, she does have a bit of a wild streak to her where she goes for what she wants no matter the cost. It perhaps is more prominent when it comes to liking someone. She'll do just about anything if the person is someone she deems worth her time and special in some way. However, there are other circumstances. Sometimes certain situations require her to take on a certain role or demeanor to get someone who potentially has information that could be useful for SAVIOR to get their hands onto to open up to her. Then, she'll be clueless, coy, flirtatious, bi, straight, lesbian--whatever she feels will get her what she needs.

• Determined. This might alternatively be seen as another word for "stubborn," depending who you are. If she sets her mind to it, the project/assignment/mission will be completed as accurately and quickly as humanly possible and with as few casualties as possible. If she feels you know something she needs to know, she will often find a way to continue to badger you in as tactful a way as she can manage without being too terribly obvious she's digging for information of sorts.

Birthplace: Cardiff, Wales
Family:
Mother | Tiffany Black | 51 | Muggle | Muggle
Father | Gregory Black | 55 | Slave | Pureblood
Sister | Elisabeth Black | 23 | Uni Student | Squib

History:
The union of Gregory Black and Tiffany Summers was perhaps not the most romantic. It was more that the two were from families where getting someone pregnant meant accepting the consequences, and they did. Naturally, some could argue that it cost Greg just as much as Tiffany, as he lost most of his connection to his family, but nevertheless, both were awkward and scared going into the marriage. Having a kid together with someone you met one night at a club and happened to see again a few times afterward didn't exactly teach you everything you needed to know about that person before entering into the state of holy matrimony. Tiffany had a lot of surprises ahead of her as time progressed.

After all, Lexi proved to have inherited her father's magic, and it showed. Tiffany was terrified and confused of her own daughter and walked on pins and needles at first to avoid upsetting her, and when the truth came out after a few weeks of tensed relations around the house all because of their six-year-old's "inexplicable" displays, the young mother wasn't sure whether to be relieved there was a "diagnosis" or angry at Greg for not telling her of the possibility sooner or just telling her period. After all, she'd spent six years now getting to know him and it had never crossed his mind once?

The idea of sending her daughter away to board at a school with other children like her and her father was furthermore a shock and still wasn't something she was quite willing to do when the letter arrived five years later. However, after Greg spent time convincing her and Lexi spent time begging, Tiffany allowed her daughter to be sent off, and Lexi found herself in a place that was overwhelming and amazing all at once. She was sorted into Gryffindor and her first year was fairly uneventful. However, the next six were sure to be exciting as Harry Potter entered the school. Despite all the excitement that seemed to hit around the end of every school year, she had average to excellent marks throughout the year depending on the topic.

After graduation, she took some time to re-embrace her muggle roots and spend some time at home, but she was on her own in Diagon Alley after a couple of years. She worked various odd jobs before settling down at a well-off shop in Diagon just a fairly short walk from her home. Unfortunately, at the time of the takeover, this shop was destroyed and never to be reopened as the owner mysteriously disappeared. She soon realized why as the takeover reached its completion on Valentine's Day this year and the rumors of slavery was confirmed. It became especially appalling when her father was taken for not having proper paperwork.

She found out about SAVIOR a few months after things settled down and was intrigued by their cause, naturally. She has been helping out since and dedicating all her free time to it. She even took her current job because of the clientele Lure attracts.
