Backstory: Being a transfer student, little is known about her life at 
home and previous school. Rumors float around that she was a heavy drug 
pusher or angsty goth, however, considering how she acts now these may 
very well be grotesque assumptions. As far as anyone else is concerned, 
this excitement-hungry youth has a strong faith in her God, and openly 
tells everyone who askes (and some that don't) that we've been put on 
this earth for the sake of having fun and to keep trying despite 
opposition.

Special moves:

Special move #1
Move name: Back At Ya. (BAY)
What it does: Upon the activation of this move, Alex will stand in place 
for about a second of time and if any attacks are sent her way (namely 
physical or special attacks of any sort) she dodges and counters with a 
swift roundhouse kick.
Effect: ***
Speed: *****
Duration: **
Range: Medium (**)
Notes/Strategy: This move comes out fast and can surprise people who 
think they can take advantage of your low defence. This move is probably 
what you Alex-players will use the most, for a really fast and effective 
counter, why not? Be wearey of the annoyances about this: First off, you 
automatically stop all motion you had from activation to finish (yes, 
even in the air) and this move does not protect against grabs. It will 
counter projectiles, but unless the enemy is within range it won't cause 
damage. (note that you don't take damage using this counter.)

Special move #2
Move name: FAN 4 U
What it does: This move will allow Alex to bring out a large fan 
instantly. This fan is considered a weapon.
Effect: * (if anyone is close enough to hug you when you take it out it 
may do a pixel of damage, but otherwise it's squat.)
Speed: *****
Duration: *
Range: Medium (**)
Notes/Strategy: This move is considered horribly worthless more often 
than not, however, getting a fan instantly no matter where you are (and 
with half the stamina cost to use this special, assuming that is 
allowed...) isn't too bad. Good range and the weapon is somewhat fast in 
it'self. It's best feature is being able to deflect/reflect projectiles 
if you swing the fan before they hit you. It's also pretty fun to bring 
out and drop a few fans so everyone can partake in a big fan fight. One 
last note: There's a 2% chance that the item you bring out may be another 
item or weapon of any sort.
*See weapon information on the actual fan weapon parimeters.*

Special move #3
Move name: Yo-yo Launcher
What it does: This move will launch a yoyo of some odd sort out in 
whatever direction Alex is facing. If this object comes in contact with a 
wall or other sort of object that is stationary she will be drawn towards 
it quickly, if the target is another player she will drag them back to her 
instead.
Effect: **
Speed: ***
Duration: ***
Range: Long (***)
Notes/Strategy: This move is a general speed up ability for Alex. Latch 
onto objects to move forward faster then she could run (between a 3 and 4 
star run speed.) and if she targets an enemy she draws them back twoards 
her (opening them up for a combo, or at least keeping them from getting 
someplace you don't want them to.) What makes this move so great is that 
if you press the jump button exactly as you're about to colide with the 
player you snagged, you will bounce off of them and launch forward as if 
you performed a jump between a 4 and 5 stars. This also works on 
stationary objects which require a level 2 or higher jump to cross over. 
This move can work well if you need a fast boost and if timed right it 
lets you reach areas you normally wouldn't otherwise. Just be careful 
since you can't control Alex durring the launch's air time.

Character strategy: Alex is a defence-centric character which must make 
use of her oddball special moves in order to fend off enemies while going 
for the gold. She may have some trouble when it comes to going hand to 
hand with groups (due to her slightly sub-par offence and defence), 
however, what makes her shine is that she has a good stamina and counters 
which make people think twice about hacking and slashing through you. 
Playing Alex is definately not an instant-win, to play her is to rely on 
her counter, fan and yo-yo to get her around and keep others away.

Creator: But-Man!

Introduction dialogue:
*The side of Alex's face is visable, as she glances an eye towards the

Alex: Huh? Hey... Hey aren't you that runner from (insert school here)?
Alex: You've been making quite a name for yourself recently, news about 
you has been floating all around this school.
Alex: Well... since I've bumped into you it'd be a shame if we couldn't 
have a little race, I wanna see how I compare to you!
*A dialog box pops up asking you if you accept his challenge or not*

Yes, I accept your challenge:

Alex: Great! Don't feel you need to hold back, I wanna see how it's done!
Alex: Meet me this afternoon at (insert arena here) okay? See ya there!
*start race*

No, I don't accept your challenge:
*Alex faces the viewer with a frown on her face. and closed eyes*
Alex: Really? Why not? Well... I guess you're busy.
Alex: I have a hunch we'll run into each other again sometime, so maybe 
we can throw down then.

You lose the race:
*Alex looks a little embarassed, scratching the back of her head*
