Backstory (No Cid Timeline) Early Life Born as the second daughter of King Midgar, she was always overshadowed by Iris, the prodigy. Unlike Iris, she wasn’t blessed with natural talent, forcing her to train three times harder. Developed a rebellious streak after witnessing noble corruption firsthand. The Breaking Point At 15, she publicly challenged a corrupt duke’s son to a duel and won—but was punished for "embarrassing" nobility. Realized the kingdom’s justice was a lie, leading her to train in secret. Began investigating the Cult of Diablos after finding suspicious documents in the royal archives. Current Role in the World Officially: A "problem princess" who skips court meetings. Unofficially: A vigilante who hunts Cult informants and corrupt nobles. Rumors: Some commoners whisper she’s a phantom knight, while nobles call her "The Mad Princess." Abilities & Combat Style Swordsmanship Style: Self-taught, brutal efficiency over elegance. Signature Moves: "Midnight Fang" – A deceptive thrust disguised as a feint. "Royal Rebuke" – A downward slash meant to humiliate opponents. Weakness: Lacks formal training, so her form has exploitable gaps. Other Skills Espionage – Skilled at gathering blackmail on nobles. Pain Tolerance – Fights through severe injuries out of sheer spite. Multilingual – Knows ancient dialects (studied to decode Cult texts). Relationships (Without Cid’s Influence) Character Relationship Dynamic Iris Midgar Older Sister Resentful respect. Alexia admires her strength but hates being compared to her.
