| - Alexandra was born in 1987 in West Philadelphia, to be the third child in a family of three. Her father was a veteran of the Vietnam War who had become a real estate agent, and her mother was a nurse at the local hospital. They both worked hard and loved their children very much, but with their work hours saw them a lot less often than they’d like. Babysitters became a frequent part of Alexandra’s life, but throughout her young life, her parents were always educating her, instilling her with a strong moral compass of justice and injustice. This compass was sorely tested when Alexandra began to develop budding paratalents in her puberty. The first to appear was an ability to convert matter into concussive energy, which she couldn’t control in her early stages of parahood. Her house was periodically blasted by a wave of concussive force, and while her family tried to help her through this difficult period, Alexandra soon started to refuse to touch anything, for fear she’d convert it to concussive energy. In the end, it was ParaLabs that came knocking at their door, and they took Alexandra for professional training. She worked for months at the facility, quickly becoming friends with some of the other teens mastering their talents there. And it was there that the buds of a superhero team were born. Alexandra returned home at the age of fifteen, with her abilities completely mastered, and soon joined a newly established team, composed of her and four others she met at ParaLabs. They roamed the streets, tackling criminals that the police weren’t around to handle, or helping out in emergencies. They thought they were doing a lot of good, but many in the city appeared to disagree. Their age seemed to be the biggest source of the uproar, and eventually Alexandra got tired of defending her position and quit the team. The harassment from citizens of the public got to be bad enough that Alexandra and her mother and father moved to another city, where she served another stint in another crime fighting team. The difference was that this team was very transparent publicly, and affiliated with the local police department. Also, now eighteen, Alexandra had far less worry about complaints due to her age. It was during her time with the police force that Alexandra met a young man from Africa, and a beautiful romance sprung forth. Over the next few months, they became heavily involved, and when he decided to go back to visit his family in Africa, Alexandra went with him. Her time there was a bit of a reality check, to say the least. Corruption in the government, rampant crime in the cities and disease, famine and poverty widespread, Africa was not a nice place to spend a vacation if you were to visit the local places that Alexandra did with her boyfriend, since such places were hardly candidates for tourist attractions. However, they were candidates for real help, places she could really make a difference. And so, having finally experienced these places first hand rather than just on television, her moral compass guided her.
