| - Most of her friends will tell you that Alexis is a bit of a dork, having done her time at the M:tG tables avoiding the mouthbreathers, anime cons, and usually can be contacted through her Steam profile faster than by text message. She's also obsessed science fiction. New Sci-fi movie out? She's seen the pirated version already, and has an opinion. She also used to be little Miss Over-achiever. She won the regional science fair as a high school student, and got a nice scholarship for her trouble. She finished her undergrad (chemistry) quickly, apparently ready to follow in her father's footsteps as a chemist.

| - Most of her friends will tell you that Alexis is a bit of a dork, having done her time at the M:tG tables avoiding the mouthbreathers, anime cons, and usually can be contacted through her Steam profile faster than by text message. She's also obsessed science fiction. New Sci-fi movie out? She's seen the pirated version already, and has an opinion. She also used to be little Miss Over-achiever. She won the regional science fair as a high school student, and got a nice scholarship for her trouble. She finished her undergrad (chemistry) quickly, apparently ready to follow in her father's footsteps as a chemist. And then, abruptly, she took a sharp U-turn, and ended up in a bush-league college, doing her Ph.D. in Physics (particle physics / nuclear chemistry, in the grey area between the two discipline) under some disgraced German that no one could fire due to tenure (and everyone is sorta convinced is a Nazi, even though he's wasn't old enough). Her adviser, Dr. Norbert Vogel, died in some lab fire he started, leaving her to have to cobble together enough to defend her thesis and finish. Her diploma is only barely accredited, and she's got a whole one paper published. The only thing she's got going for her is a patent on some techniques to make medical isotopes faster, that reportedly got optioned by GE. She taught a single semester of courses at another community college, before abruptly cancelling her contract and moving to St. Claire.
