Personality & Traits
| General Overview | The first thing which can strike you in Alexandra is her openness and outgoing nature. She's a natural extrovert, who loves to meet new faces, have a good laugh or converse with friends over a couple of drinks. Easy to like and fun to have around, she's always ready to cheer you up and tell you the latest jokes and gossips. She's a true social person, who'd die alone in a room without company. Warning: her highly talkative, and sometimes even bubblish nature can be annoying to some more introverted people. Alex is highly intelligent and can be described as one always having deep feelings. It's easy to befriend her, but hard to really get close to her. She has an underlying personality she only shares with her inner circle of close friends. She's also the caring type, who loves to help others, especially those in need. She's deeply altrustic, a sucker for hard-luck cases, who's always ready to offer her help in any ways possible. Of course, she cares the most about her daughter, sometimes to the point of obsession. She loves Veronica as the most precious thing in the world, however, she often tends to act overly caring about her. Alex lives in a constant fear that she, as a single mother, might not be able to provide the same amount of love to her daughter two parents could, and hence, desperately tries to prove herself that it's not true, and she can be the greatest mom in the galaxy. On the negative side, she's quite stubborn. Once she's made up her mind, it's very hard to change her opinion about something. She's not a good team player, and tends to decide on her own, even if others might know it better. Sometimes this makes it hard for her to work as captain of a soccer team or head of a starship medical department. She's quick tempered, and occasionally can act before thinking the situation over. She's also very moody: in one minute, she's jumping out of joy, in the other, she's sad and depressed. Alex enjoys a number of hobbies, including listening to various kinds of a music, reading and of course, sports. She's a well-trained semi-professional soccer player, and also enjoys gymnastics, swimming and mountaineering. She loves kids and pets, and currently she and her daughter own a goldfish in their quarters. |

| Personal History | Alexandra Alves was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Earth on May 7, 2359, the oldest child of Artur Alves, a marine biologist and Felicia Castro, a medical researcher. She grew up in a nice and safe environment, surrounded by a loving family, consisting of several relatives and friends. Young Alexandra (or Alex as everyone nicknamed her) was a bright child from early on, who enjoyed discovering the world around herself: she enjoyed spending long hours on the ocean coast with her dad, studying the various forms of flora and fauna around. She was a curious kid, determined to get to know more and more, either by embarking on a venture of discovery or by reading as much as she could. She also started to play soccer (football) at an early age, which eventually became her main hobby or rather passion. When Alex was 10, her father got a job on an underwater colony located on the ocean planet Valerian III. For Artur, it was the ultimate dream assignment, being able to study the vast underwater life of a strange new world. However, his family was much less enthusiastic. Alex was sad to leave her friends and her hometown behind, changing the warm sunny beaches and the rich-cultured big city to a claustrophobic underwater research facility. Felicia found herself busy by serving as the doctor of the colony, and her daughter often sneaked in to the infirmary to observe her mother handling the medical affairs. That was when the 'medicine bug' bit her, and she decided to dedicate the rest of her life to studying to become a doctor. While living on the ocean colony, Alex made her share of friends, and even organized a team from local kids and their parents, so she'd have a chance to continue playing with real people, not only in holodeck programs. Alex was 15 when the Dominion invaded the Valerian system, and the colony had to be evacuated. She and her family were sent back to Earth, and her parents got a job in Miami, Florida at the marine life research center. Again, Alex had to endure another large change in surroundings, as now she was back on Earth, among thousands of new people and new situations. In high school, Alex continued to be a bright student, excelling in nature sciences, as well as in sports. Now she finally had the chance to play soccer in a real team, eventually rising to the position of team captain, winning the inter-school championship twice in a row. She also practiced gymnastics, but rather just as a hobby than on pro level. She could also study medicine now in a professional environment: she took nursing courses, and worked as an intern at the local hospital during these years. After graduating from high school, Alex decided to enter Starfleet Medical Academy, studying to become a Starfleet doctor instead of a civilian one, and eventually graduated after the usual 8 years, with the rank of Lieutenant JG and the title of M.D., specializing in xenobiology. She then got her first assignment on board the USS Ranger, as a medical officer. Here, she met Nathan Kiley, an engineer, working as warp core specialist. The two soon began dating, and eventually married, and had a daughter, Veronica. However, the marriage wasn't a lasting one: three years later, Alex and Nathan broke up, mostly due to disputes over their careers, the two choosing vastly different paths, and eventually divorced, leaving Veronica in the custody of her mother. Afterwards, Alex got assigned to the USS Benecia as Assistant Chief Medical Officer, and Nathan got an assignent on the far edge of the quadrant, so Veronica very rarely saw her father since then. She started kindergarten, then elementary aboard the Benecia, and, following her mother's footsteps, took up soccer as a hobby. While serving on the Benecia, Alex participated in a mission to evacuate the disaster-stricken colony on Beta Haldor IV. For her exemplary work during this hard and devastating mission, she got promoted to full Lieutenant, and offered the position of Chief Medical Office on board the USS Calypso. Always ready for a change and eager to prove herself in the job of CMO, Alex accepted the offer. Along with her now 7-year-old daughter, she's transferring aboard her name vessel, ready for the challenge. |
