Alexandra Athana

Alexandra is an ordinary human blessed with Patience's blessing of longevity. She has lived through great wars, plagues and famines, and have learned several libraries worth of knowledge. Despite that, she still considers herself as a warrior and poet, living through the familiar lands as a living piece of history. Alexandra throughout her life wanted to be an actress, however her fashion sense for the current era she's in is out of line and she'll often stalk celebrities she likes to try to live her dream vicariously though them. Alexandra is a terrible gift picker and will give way too much.

The idea of a warrior is different to her, she does not uphold chivalrous ideals or shame for scar in the back. As to her, as long as she stands back up, that is enough. Pride means little to her, she’s a patient woman, who knows it doesn’t matter too much and that the passage of time will always do its work. She'll often argue, tease or pick on someone due to wanting a challenge or wanting to be entertained.

Background

At least 1000 years old, Alexandra is a survivor of a civilization long gone. Rumors say that her city has sunken deep beneath the ocean at some point, changed and forgotten. These rumors are in fact the truth; before the Sunken Empire of Atlantia had its current title it was a land populated by humans called Atlantia, brought to the depths through the 15's fury at their heresy, with only Alexandra as its living reminder. Throughout history, she has taken the role of mentor to many of history's greatest knights and leaders, teaching both martial skills and war tactics. She was for example a teacher to Lord Perry Potata, Giovanni Esposito, and Matko Stanković. Matko despite being a loner has been taken under Alexandra's wing as a mother of sorts, even after he became a chosen himself, and as such she'll often speak for him when he cannot. Her long life has made her jaded of laws, now only living true to her own moral code. When meeting new people Alexandra often starts distant, but can get obsessive over someone due to the limited time that one person could have. Alexandra still has biological family, though she’s no longer a part of their life, as it has already gone on for generations, and she believes she's too old to connect with them. Throughout her life she's cooked everything at least once, though after no longer finding joy in cooking she stopped. However if she were to cook again she'd use forgotten recipes with unorthodox cooking techniques.

Covered head to toe with permanent scars, she has lost her limbs a few times and had them reattached by a healer, at the cost of yet more scars. Her hair is graying with the stress accumulated throughout the era. She has seen a great many things and endured so much; her mind is waning, yet she tries her best to cling on. One of these accounts was facing against the prior Chosen Knight of Unity during the Great Steppes of Mongori conquests. The vision of Genghis-Khan devouring her friends and comrades still haunts her mind to this day. She'll often try to cope with dark humor, specifically of the tragedies she's survived. Even though she is so long-lived, Alexandra wouldn't make a great contribution to history books even as a living history book herself, as she remains an unreliable narrator because she likes to mess with people, as well as being manipulative at times. Eventually at some point in her life she developed thalassophobia; she in turn absolutely hates sea travel due to her fear.

Considering her status as a Chosen Knight, it is natural that she has more than 10 Crown Seals, but combined with her longevity, she now holds so many that she no longer carries them on her person. Recently, Flayne la Karrotte challenged her to a Golden Duel in order to claim one of her many Crown Seals. Alexandra won easily and took Flayne's spear as her reward. The duel is known to have been witnessed by Patience and Lust of The 14 Fundamentals. Alexandra's armor is a hodgepodge of alloys and materials, but most notable of all it's mostly composed of Slayerite. There are rumors of her having tamed a Slayer Crab somehow.

Powers

With a human's perception of time, as well as their innate urgency and knack for learning, she has mastered all known weapons to ever exist within the Familiar Lands, earning her the moniker of "Jack of all trades", and "Master of All". For example, she uses firearms very effectively, and has invented a few styles of her own, accumulating more and more techniques, despite the technology being mostly confined to the United States of LittleFolks. She also wears a pixie lamp made to ward off curses. Cursed aplenty, and not wanting to stack it up even further, thus wearing the lamp as a protection.

Though, aside from her great skill and experience, she remains an ordinary human with very human weaknesses. Alexandra is only long-lived, her scars do not heal, thus she can easily be felled by disease or a simple blade. It is a testament to her skills that she has since survived this long. Alexandra intensively studied spells to the point that when someone tries to cast magic by chanting she can confuse them by counter-chanting the wrong thing.

During her prime she wielded the relic of Patience named Unbreakable which was used to land the killing blow on Genghis-Khan. However, in the current day she has somehow lost the Unbreakable.

Trivia
