History
Alex was born as the only daughter of a young Healer-Teacher Hunters couple, Emilio Flores and Patrícia Martines. Her parents met in Brazil, when her father was there on a trip with his family. He was immediately enchanted by the Brazilian Teacher and they quickly fell in love. When he found out Patrícia was pregnant, he took her with him back to Italy where they married. Emilio promised his wife a great life together, far away from her nonsupporting family, yet that dream was cut short when Patrícia died shortly after childbirth.
Emilio tried to raise Alex on his own and moved to Scotland where the need for Healers was greater, but his life was also cut short when he was murdered during a break-in. Alex was put into foster care at the age of 1,5 and stayed with two other families before the Quill family. Because she was a very difficult baby due to the PTSD that was caused by her father's death, she needed a lot of attention and the families couldn't always give her that. And even though the Quill family didn't really deal well with the illness either, they managed better than the other families. But then Val joined the family and it all went sort of downhill. Suddenly Alex had to share the attention with another and even though she was never a selfish child, it did make her very angry.
The anger didn't go away when Val was sent to Borealis either. The PTSD which only worsened because of her life as a Hunter and the hard education she received made her aggressive for no reason and combined with teen angst, she was also shipped off to Russia not long after.
She now has two other brothers and while Val seems very fond of them, Alex has discovered herself to not be a family person so she doesn't really think much of them.
Relationships
Val | Foster brother She used to blame him for her bad childhood and even hated him for hurting her when they were younger, but now they both matured and they are able to talk normally and almost as real siblings to each other. She doesn't particularly like him especially not because she sees right through his bullshit at Borealis but she doesn't want him out of her life forever either. He's the only person she considers as family right now.
Sully | Rival Their different opinions on certain matters, left them both not seeing eye to eye. What's left is a bit of rivalry, caused by Sully's unforgiving temper and Alessandra's pity for the other girl who doesn't appreciate that at all.
Archie | Friends They both help each other out emotionally. She once found him during a panic attack and ever since the two have taken a liking to each other.
Fergus | Mechanical buddies & sparring partners Fergus and Alessandra share a passion for everything mechanical. They are often found together working on cars and motors in the school's garage. They are also training partners during the Close Combat part of their education and help each other out during Weapon Development classes.
Ailsa | Brother's ex-girlfriend Alessandra can't help it; anyone stupid enough to date her brother is not in the right mind. She however does feel sorry for Ailsa as well and only hopes Ailsa knows who Val really is so she doesn't get hurt.
Extra
Likes: Coffee, autumn, winter, sweaters, wide short sleeved shirts, taking off your bra after a long day, motors, thinking, using her hands.
Dislikes: Pressure, stress, rudeness, being the center of attention, too much critic, cinnamon.
Interests: Motors, reading, working, being busy.
Sexuality: Gay, open to a certain extent. Won't deny it, but won't shout it from the rooftops either.
PTSD: She suffers from PTSD due to her difficult childhood. She has trouble sleeping, gets anger for no reason and sometimes has concentration issues such as spacing out during conversations.

Name
Alessandra Flores. She isn't named after someone special, since she came from an ordinary Hunter's family and not one of the big ones. After her family died and she was put in foster care, she didn't bother adopting her new family's name either since it wasn't certain she would stay with them longtime. Ultimately, when she was sent to Borealis, she was glad she didn't.
Her nickname is Alex. She doesn't really mind whether people call her by her full name or nickname.
Meaning & origin:
Alessandra | defending men Italian/Spanish
Flores | flower Spanish
Age
19, born on 14. September.
Nationality
Scottish.
Ethnic:
Italian
Brazilian
Status
The best thing to call her is a wallflower. She sees a lot and knows a lot, but is not the most social person. Yet, she isn't a loner nor is she shy, so don't get confused.
Specialties
She takes most of the classes, even the theoretic ones no one takes. She's actually really good at the practice classes, but as her teachers are pushing her towards becoming an actual fighting Hunter whilst she wants to focus on Weapon Development after Borealis, she's failing most of them on purpose. Don't let that fool you into thinking she's a bad fighter, though.
Best classes:
Weapon Development
Firearms; History
Handarms; History
Close Combat
