full appearance
Ace isn't tall, or short, really. She's around average at about five foot five, and she isn't anything special. No blond hair or blue eyes for this girl; nope, just brown and brown. It's her facial features that are a little more unique. Her eyes are large, doe-like even, and her face round without being childlike and staying, to some degree, refined. Her nose is small, her lips bright and fairly plump, if you wanted to get around to describing those. Her body is thin, though not model thin, covered with lean muscle. She's stronger than she looks, after all. Skin tight clothes are almost always a must, usually a tank top with her purple leather jacket over top and black jeans which flare at the bottom along with combat boots, or sneakers if she needs to be quiet.

full personality
Ace is rather secretive. She keeps to herself enough that not too many know her very well, and she definitely doesn't have any friends. Acquaintances, yes, she knows most everyone to some degree, but she doesn't consider them friends, nor does she trust them like she probably should. She's had troubles trusting since a young age, and has cut herself off from relationships even more since her mother's death.
She's quite cold, blunt and honest and not afraid to tell you exactly what she thinks of you, whether its nice or not. It isn't that she's like this naturally. It's her defense mechanism. Get past it, and she's not half bad. She's loyal to a fault if you can get her to trust you, but that alone is difficult enough. She's not the type to be clingy, though, so don't expect her to ever hang off your every word.
She's a daydreamer, too, and she spends half her time looking for secret passageways, high in tree branches, or with Imp, just imagining different lives, different scenarios. If it isn't necessary to focus, she has trouble doing just that and turning the daydreams off, though get her interested and she'll pay attention for as long as needed.

full history
Alexx was born to single mother, Elaine, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, though they moved to Washington, DC to be closer to her grandparents when she was only six. She was always assured throughout her childhood that her father loved her very much, but was needed desperately elsewhere as he was a leader in his community. This caused Alexx to search and find nothing, and so she began to think her mother was softening the blow and her father had run out on them. This began a deep hatred for the man who's face she wouldn't even recognize if she saw him. As a distraction, her mother started her into riding lessons and she excelled, a natural. She got Imp when she turned twelve.
She was always a tomboy, doing what everyone said she couldn't, simply to show them girls could too. She got into the Canadian Air forces at a young age, as a Cadet, and she was excellent. Although a dreamer, when she was required to focus, her attention was so rapt that she was easily the best among them. Even without her grandfather's history as a legend in MI-6, there was an eye on her.
Then, her mother was shot shortly before her thirteenth birthday. She withdrew into herself even more as she went to live with her grandparents. She was stuck in therapy to help her get through the rough time, but it was Imp that helped her the most. She spent the summer out of the cadets, showing her gelding and spending almost every waking minute with him. She went into grade eight cold as stone, but there was no more break downs into tears. She just lived through the days and that was that. She went back into cadets. Satisfied she was getting over it, her grandfather called Wicker, the school he had started, thinking she would do well there. He was right.
She was sent through multiple tests and was gladly accepted into Wickervale Academy as a freshman. She brought Imp with her, mostly because her grandparents insisted, knowing Ace probably wouldn't stay sane without some sort of escape that the gelding provided. She excelled in her first year, and has moved onto her second year as one of the top of her class. Most people would care about this - she doesn't. She doesn't care for making a name for herself, she just wants to find her father and get answers.
