PS: is this considered anime or manga or comic, or what?

Profile (subject to change):

Name: Alex (short for Alexandra)

Gender: Female (though people sometimes mistake her for a boy)

Age: 11 (6’th grade)

Height: 160 cm, 5ft 3in

Weight: 88LB , 40 KG

Appearance: blond and messy hair, blue-green eyes,

Character: Tomboy, clever & quick-witted, stands up for others more so than she stands up for her self (often confronts bullies), brave, athletic, caring… if she likes you, if she hates you… not so much

Clothing:
Tops: t-shirts (mainly), sweatshirts, hoodies, sleeveless t-shirts, tank tops, or nothing (mainly with overalls), doesn’t wear a bra (and has small breasts, so she doesn’t need ‘em)
Bottoms: usually wears baggy jeans or baggy overalls, sometimes wears baggy sweatpants or corduroys in the fall and winter.

Often wears a hat (baseball cap)
Sometimes wears glasses, like when reading , but usually wears her contacts.
Her pants often have fading rips and mud/grass/oil/paint stains (“they’re clean enough for me”)
Hates wearing anything girly or fancy.
Usually fills her pockets with useful things, pencils, paper, compass, band aids etc.
Sometimes has scratches cuts or bruises, especially on knees and elbows
Sometimes goes bare footed, if not she wears a worn-out pair of sneakers.

Likes: Animals, Pizza, Ice cream, Cookies, Baggy Clothes, Helping people, Nature, fruits and veggies.

Favorite Activities/hobbies: soccer (she calls it football, since it makes sense to her), farming and taking care of her animals, basketball, Mountain biking, skateboarding, and snow boarding, Fishing, rock climbing, Karate (has Black belt), track, most sports and outdoor/physical activities, Mechanics (adopted the roll of mechanic at home, fixing up their 18 year old car)/Carpentry, gardening, and videogames.

Doesn’t like: people calling her just a ‘girl’ or telling her to act like more like a girl, mosquitoes (the only bug she will kill on sight), bullies/mean people, lazy people, spoiled people, Shopping (except for special things), being sick, showers/baths (only when she wants to), poison ivy and stinging nettle (of which she sometimes has on her arms)

Random other traits:

Alex lives on a small farm, with chickens, cows, goats, and her horse, and also her cat and dog, and plenty of crops, she loves being a farm girl.

Does very good at classes she likes (esp: science and PE), and bad at classes she doesn’t like, or finds boring (depends on teacher, and what is taught)

Sparing and a bit frugal, but generous. (gives gifts, but doesn’t buy expensive clothes and the like) (gets most clothes second hand, used bike, used skate&snow board) (Her Family has gone through financial hardships as well)

Never eats red meat, unless it is from an old animal her farm that was uthinised/died naturally. And any other meat she eats she makes sure it was/is humane. (EG: freezes fish if she’s going to kill them, only eats older fish)

Family:

Her father is a biology teacher at a university, and doesn’t get to be a father often during the school year, in the free time he has during the summer, he tries to make it up to her by playing with her and teaching her things about nature.

Her mother was, previously an engineer. but got laid off a years ago. now, while searching for a new full time job, she helps Alex out with the chores on the farm, and does odd handy-woman jobs.

Alex is an only child, but don’t try telling that to her, she has dozens of avian and bovine siblings.
