overall :

Lexi is a very pretty girl. She just doesn’t believe it. She has long, brown hair that sometimes has blond highlights in it. Most of the time her hair is slightly wavy, with her bags perfectly straight and sweeping to the side of her face. Sometimes she straightens it, but it’s so long and thick that she prefers it wavy. It ends just to the end of her back, and despite how it looks it is actually pretty thick. Sometimes she will have it tied back. Other days it’ll be down and free as a bird.

Her skin is not exactly the palest in the world. It is slightly tanned from her spending time at the beach, and then when entering high school being inside all the time. It is beautiful, flawless skin that she loves. She also has a little ‘thing’ underneath her eyebrow from where she once had a piercing. But she removed it, and the hole closed up, but in it’s place came a brown ‘Beauty Mark’, as she is kind to tell people.

Although with her brown hair, she has brown eyes. With her mood, her eyes change colors. Normally, they are a light brown. When she’s pissed off, they go to a pure black color. Almost demonic like, as some little kids loved to say to her. Happy, they turn to a blue/brown mix. They are usually lined with a thin line of eyeliner, or something thick amounts too. Eye shadow is sometimes added as well, but very rarely. Her lips are slightly on the thin side, but they are suitable for her face.

She stands at the firm height of 5’6”, pretty average height for a girl, and weighs 108 lbs. She went through a slight phase of anorexia when she was a freshman in high school, and it's hard for her to join that weight back that she lost. Though some say that she still is anorexic to a point, she really isn't. She's getting better, it's just hard for her to gain that weight back, because she has a high metabolism, and burns it all off quickly.

Her personal style is very colorful. Bright colors, really. When she’s depressed, though, dark colors are a common site. She is always, always, wearing jeans or skirts with leggings underneath. Rarely will she wear skirts without leggings underneath. It’s just the way she is. Other than those two facts, she wears just about anything she can grab in the morning.

* what you see ,

overall personality :

Her personality, naturally, is a very nice, quiet, relaxed girl. She hates having things be put onto her shoulders. She can’t make decisions for the life of her. If someone asks her to choose something, she will just tell them to choose something, because she can’t. She hardly ever talks. When she does, her voice comes out small and quiet, almost like a little girl’s voice. Her rare usage of her vocal chords is the reason for this.

Most of the time her mood changes quickly, for no reason. Sometimes she’ll be this hyper girl that everyone will love, then the next she’ll be this bitch that you want to stay away from. Then pretty soon she’ll go back to being that little girl again; the one that just likes to be around people and have fun. No one knows why she’s like that; it’s just a thing with her. Sometimes she doesn’t really realize it; her changing mood is something that she has grown used to.

To her friends, she can be basically a normal girl. Happy, nice, sweet, kind, and giving. But if she doesn’t get pissed off at her friends, she goes off the deep end, yelling, maybe even hitting. But she gets over it within the next few minutes after that, and she’s all happy again. She’ll never even remember that she had gotten into a fight with anyone.

If there are those rare few people she is enemies with, you can expect that really bitchy side of her. She just won’t ever accept that person as anything more than an enemy. It is honestly very rare for her to become good friends with someone who was once her enemy. She never forgets the constant arguments and insults shared between people in those arguments with enemies, so whenever she is close to being friendly with an enemy, she remembers those conversations and things, and she just throws away the chance for a good friendship.

She is still a romantic. She is a major flirt. If something doesn’t go her way in a relationship, she goes off the deep end into sadness. Tears, the complete waterworks set, and maybe a stage of depression. But eventually she gets over it and moves on, but that pain for her never goes away. Whenever she remembers having that pain, it’s the waterworks all over again. But most of the time, she gets over the person, and after that, most of the time they become pretty much enemies to each other, really. That’s where most of her enemies come from; past relationships that never worked out that usually ended badly.

She is strict on certain things as well. She is strict when it comes to romance. She is a firm believer in abstinence, but she doesn’t mind sleeping in the same bed with a guy. Just not doing things before marriage. It’s her rule. She isn't one to randomly hook up at a party; she has morals. She'd constantly lecture her friends on this, if not for the fact that she knows that they'd ignore her and continue their ways.

history :

High school sweethearts. That’s what Daniel Craemer and Cierra Craemer promised each other on their last day of junior year. Standing in the school’s parking lot, Daniel had given his beloved a promise ring, saying that the minute they were out of high school they would be together forever. And they kept that promise. Senior graduation, the two ended up spending the night at a hotel. And a week later, Cierra discovered that she was pregnant with a little baby girl. That was all that she needed; everything just seemed to be going to right. Both of them were excited. They knew nothing would hold them back.

That is, until Daniel got a job. A job as a photographer for a famous band that was touring. So he had to leave his beloved Cierra while she was two months pregnant, with the promise he would be back in time for the wedding that they were to have two months later. So, with that promise keeping her happy, she watched her husband go off and live out his dreams. Within a month he was famous, known for his astonishing photography. He was being hired by many different managers for photo shoots with many different bands. And thus, he ended up not returning for the wedding in time.

Cierra was heartbroken. The wedding was canceled, the money they’d paid for it returned to her in return for everything. The caterers, the flowers, the dress, the jewelry, everything. And Cierra ended up staying the apartment alone for the four whole months until she decide to return to her parents house. She returned, and her parents welcomed her back with open arms. They knew their daughter was depressed beyond belief, but they were there to help her get through the pregnancy. But of course, bad news just came along. She received a letter during her sixth month of her pregnancy that Daniel wasn’t returning. Instead, she was inviting to his funeral. It had turned out that while touring, he had been driving behind the band, hired to take photos of the concert. During the drive, he’d been killed by a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road.

The funeral was held months later, because the body had to be identified out of the twenty or so that were killed in the collision. It was probably one of the worst highway incidents anyone had ever seen. But everything just went on. Until Cierra ended up going into labor during the funeral. She was taken to the hospital, and pretty soon Alexandria Lynn Craemer was born.

Lexi was a happy baby ever since her very unexpected birth. Her mother knew she had to put on her best face for her daughter; her daughter didn’t know the story behind their family, and she didn’t want her to know until it was the right time. So, Lexi grew up living with her mother and her grandparents for most of her life. Sadness just seemed to follow this family, though.

When Lexi was four, she was signed up for pre-school. One day during pre-school, she was taken out by her grandma, who came to tell her that her mother was ill in the hospital. Going to visit her mother, Lexi knew nothing. She just thought maybe being happy would help her mother feel better. And she believed it, because every time she came her mother smiled and laughed like she used to. But of course it didn’t last. When Lexi was five, her mother passed away during the night. The nurses had said that maybe Lexi’s mother hadn’t really been able to handle the birth, and thus her body had weakened dramatically.

Of course, Lexi didn’t know that. She was just told her mother was sick and that they couldn’t help her. So she ended up growing up with her grandparents in their house. For the first few years of elementary school, they ended up staying at the same apartment her mother had lived in whlle her fiancé had been doing his work. But in second grade, they ended up moving to Boston, Massachusetts. The more dangerous part of Boston. Where the wrong crowd dominated with their drinking, their drugs, their sex lives, and such. Lexi always managed to stay away from them, hanging out with her friends, the cute little girls that just went around being good girls.

One day in fifth grade there was an incident where Lexi got into a fight with another girl over her parents. At first it was a verbal fight; throwing little girly insults. But the first punch was thrown by the other girl, and Lexi knew she had to fight back. A full out cat fight had started, and ended quite as quickly; they were pulled apart by their respective teachers, and both earned themselves a week detention for it. Thus, they were forced to take different detentions because, the teachers thought they might’ve gotten in a fight if they were put together.

Middle school was more difficult. That little fight followed, but now people were realizing her father’s career as a photographer, and his sad death. So, everywhere she went, Lexi heard ‘Hey! She’s Daniel Craemer’s daughter’ and that just hurt, because she’d never even known the guy at all. He died before she was born. So, she ended up being a shy little girl; never saying anything and avoiding talking, to get more attention onto herself. Seventh grade was a class trip to the zoo, and this was a reason that she ended up deviating from her group and wandering around the zoo alone. She ended up getting lost by the monkey cages, and was there alone. She was found near five in the afternoon by the zoo staff, which was getting ready to close the zoo early because of thunderstorms. They ended up calling her grandparents to pick her up.

Her grandparents knew that it was tough for her, so they let her be home schooled for the remainder of middle school and for part of high school. Her teacher, Illyria, was a German woman who was probably one of the nicest women Lexi had ever met. She had taught her everything, and even then would stay after with Lexi and just hang out with her. She was almost like an older sister; Illyria was only about twenty five, so she really could’ve been her older sister. But then Illyria ended up having to return to Germany in Lexi’s sophomore year; her brother had gotten typhoid(no one knew how), so she needed to return to take care of her poor brother.

Her grandparents, however, couldn’t afford to find another tutor. Illyria had been the best, and cheapest, that they could afford. But they couldn’t just send her to regular school, for fear of what happened in middle school would happen again. So they searched for private schools, but Lexi refused to go to any of them. So, her grandparents were about to give up when they found a school that would’ve been perfect for her; a public school in New York City.. That way, she would fit in better with everyone, and there wouldn’t be those people who bothered her about her father's beath.

So Lexi ended up going to a high school in New York. This year, her senior year, is her first actual year at being in a normal school since middle school, and it frightened her dearly. She was afraid; hell, she is afraid. Having been out of an actual school having not spent any time with actual students, frightened her beyond belief. But she’s willing to stick it out, mostly because she feels that she owes it to her grandparents, who took care of her for most of her life. She’s so grateful for it, so she feels that she owes a little something in return.
