(Comment based on one and She'll respond XP):

Alex: hey, how's it goin'? :3 *holds out her muddy hand*

A: *Smile and shake hands enthusiastically*

B: *Smile and shake hands, but wipe it off afterwards*

C: *don't lift a hand*

D: Say: I'd shake hands but... *nods at her hand*

E: Say: Yah... i'm not going to shake your dirty hand though

F: Say: Eww! Wash your hand and take a bath you dirty, flee infested Hey Seed! *scoff in disgust*

Clothing:
Usually dresses like a boy
Tops: t-shirts (mainly), sweatshirts, hoodies, sleeveless t-shirts, tank tops, nothing (sometimes, with overalls, usually with coveralls) doesn’t wear a bra (and has small breasts, so she doesn’t need ‘em, she tries to act like she doesn’t care, and SHE doesn’t but she’s worried others will)

Doesn’t like: people calling her just a ‘girl’ or telling her to act like more like a girl *hilarity begins when someone tries, but will ultimately fail* , mosquitoes (the only thing she will kill on sight), bullies/mean people, lazy people, spoiled people, Shopping (except for special things), being sick, poison ivy and stinging nettle (of which she sometimes has on her arms)

Personal hero: Temple Grandon and Amelia Earhart

Favorite characters: Scout finch from to kill a mocking bird, Leslie from Bridge to terrabithia. Fern from Charlotte's web

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 and doesn’t mind getting dirty (and is the one who does most of the work).

Does 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)

Alex is also part of 4H club

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

Has a high metabolism, is very active, eats a lot but stays skinny

Rarely eats red meat (usually only thanksgiving and Christmas), and when she does she makes sure it was humane (from her own farm, usually, she lets animals live long and only kills and eats them when they are close to dying). And any other meat she eats she tries to do it humanely and quickly. (But she is obsessed with killing mosquitoes, who she has sworn to be her mortal enemy ) She’ll get really mad at you if you kill something for fun, like kick your ass, beat you up angry…

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. Because of her fathers work, Alex is often home alone, and has main responsibility for the farm.

Her mother died when she was a little girl (toddler) for reasons her father won’t discuss.

Her father also has a hard time being with alex because she reminds him of her mom

Alex has an aunt in law that she despises, primarily because she wants her to be girlier and more lady like.
She’s given her girly dresses, which she’s ripped up, died and used for patches on her pants, or other wise made sure she rips up and dirties them.
She tries to teach Alex lady manners… which hasn’t worked very well either.
She’s tried to get her to… well, the rest you’ll see on a funny little side comic strip called Alex’s girlifieing adventures ^^ (along with maddy, a girly friend from school, and minor character)

Alex had an older brother, named Conner. He was 12 years older than her, he was very loving to her, and used to play with her a lot. “I’m lucky to have you as a little sister, because its like having a little sister and a little brother at the same time” she would always laugh at that. He was very outdoorsy and sporty like Alex is. Many of Alex’s clothes are hand me downs from her older brother. When Alex was 7 he went off to war, he disappeared and was never found, presumed dead. Alex secluded herself for a month, but finally got somewhat over it, because she knew he would have wanted her to stay in school and live on happily with out him. But, when she’s older, she thinks about finding out what happened to her brother, she would join the army but… she hates guns and violence… so that doesn’t work

Despite this Alex usually is a happy kid

Alex’s other relatives include her aunt and uncle, and her 4 cousins (2 girls 2 boys) in Tennessee, they live on a farm as well.
Her oldest cousin in a 16 year old punk tomboy, who alex likes, and looks up to, except that she can be very aggressive, violent, and stubborn at times.
The two boys are twin boys (not identical), they together are mischievous trouble makers, and alex is sometimes amused by them, sometimes annoyed, and sometimes she joins them in their pranks ^^
The youngest girl in a 6 year old who thinks she’s a princess, alex is highly annoyed with her girlyness, spoiled ness (does not work on the farm if she can avoid it), and tries to get her to be more like a tomboy.

To what? after they finish playing? When alex throws?, etc?
(If we skip alex, i'll just say she's a pretty good thrower, with a tendency to throw unusual balls, occasional mistakes where she goes to wild and she misses, and occasional sudden switches between hands)

Alex: *runs to home and slides into the base, tom pounces on her with the ball but she already had slid into home, and she laughed and the others ran over to make sure they where ok, realized they where fine*
Better luck next time Tom! *grins and ruffles his hair, to his annoyance and the others and her own amusement, she looks down at the knees of her overalls, which are grass stained and dirty, and grins* Thanks guys, this was a blast!

oh I love this! I am seriously attracted to characters that are totally willing to get down and dirty! Im currently trying to make a design for my character(Nat) in a story Ive been writing whos the same as Alex, very outdoorsy, completely un-kempt hair, is definetly one of the boys but secretly under all the dirt and grime she's very pretty

Me too, fun people (esp girls) who are willing to get dirty and have fun are... well... fun and awesome

What about you? are you willing to get down and dirty in the name of fun and adventure? you a dirty tomboy too :3

*Grins* awesome! I can't wait to read your story / look at your art about her you should post some sketches of her sometime

and what do you think she'd do if she met alex in mud covered overalls and alex said hi :3

Haha oh definitely. I could certainly work on being more feminine for I am always climbing trees and ripping my jeans. Also I'm always barefoot! I think thatll be the worse thing about going back to school is that I have to get used to sneakers again...oh an thank you! I'm still working out the designs for Nat for I have her image in mind I just hadn't been able to get it down yet.

Oh and I wouldnt be surprised if Nat smiled back and asked Alex to go take a walk in the woods with her.

StefanPWinc In reply to Jarda-Potter [2011-08-21 04:42:42 +0000 UTC]

Yah... you could

But i say climbing trees, ripping jeans, and going barefoot sound like more fun ^^

Ok cool... she'll be interesting to see :3 ^^

And alex would grin and definitely accept, and suggest they could climb trees or try to catch critters or just explore :3 and ask Nat if she minded a little dirt on her shoes (or toes, if she was barefoot)

Hahaha well is alex into photography? Because may is known for always having a camera slung around her neck for some good nature shots and she's barefoot of course! Shoes are too annoying

StefanPWinc In reply to Jarda-Potter [2011-08-21 16:41:07 +0000 UTC]

No, not yet at least, she'd probably worry about breaking it and getting it wet and dirty while playing around and wasting a couple hundred dollars... but she might be interested if someone showed her, and if she knew about and got herself (or recieved as a gift) a heavy duty and water proof one *wink*

(By may you mean Nat, right? cause i don't remember May keeping a camera in her overalls and taking pictures of the land of the dead XP)

Alex likes going barefoot too, but not all the time, she gets yelled at if she goes barefoot in school (plus, if she goes to the bathrooms (the school is under funded... and they only have 1 janitor ^^'... though kids in detention sometimes help) ... no thanks). And if she's shoveling manure she prefers her boots XP also if she goes off trail where there's poisonous plants, she'll wear her shoes.

But otherwise she likes going barefoot, in grass dirt and mud especially, and while climbing trees. :3 she also prefers playing soccer and other sports barefoot

(I should draw her barefoot more... but... feet ... XP I'll find refs and tutorials i guess to help me for now XP)
