With straight, long, light brown hair, and blue eyes, Alexandra is a rather pretty girl. She has a slightly upturned nose and an affinity for jewelry and accessories. She prefers formal wear over more casual clothes, but her favorite accessory has to be her coats which she collects almost religiously.

Personality:

Alexandra holds herself up with pride. She could be considered selfish, but she thinks she's entitled to feel that way; her family is a distant branch of some kind of nobility and Alexandra wears that like a badge of honor. Despite being pretty much spoiled rotten by her quite wealthy family, she understands she has the duty to treat people like her teachers with respect and unless they are a direct disservice to herself and her family will follow rules with no complaints. Towards the people that she cares about or has a debt/fondness towards she will be loyal to a fault, although so far the only people to achieve that status from her are her family. She values her school and her peers but isn't truly close to anyone.

Alexandra comes from a wealthy family, the youngest child in a family of three. All of her siblings are much older than her and quite accomplished, only living with their family for the sake of convenience. She doesn't see her siblings too much and is pretty much treated like an only child by her parents. She has gotten everything she wanted since she was a child and is used to the very best for her.

Because of her upbringing, she perceives a lot of people as beneath her and until one can show their status or at least an affinity for the finer things in life, she perceives people as unworthy and tries to keep them at a distance.

Backstory:

Alexandra Ansley was born on a warm night, 10th of May 2008 to Elias Ewoud Michaël Erik Silvester Basset and his wife, Mahaut Eleonora Vérène Ivonne Elfriede Basset (nee Renee). Her older siblings were Isa Lisette Coba Basset and Natalie Nadine Lorette Julia Godelieve Basset; both older sisters who were respectively 10 and 14 at the time. All of them coming from a long line of pureblood wizards, they were proud people. She spent her childhood days wandering the halls of their manor with one of the family cats, but her favorite place on the huge property was a certain spot in the garden which both her siblings favored as well. When she was 6, they'd spend their time there, but as they all grew older, only Alexandra and the family cats roamed that specific nook of the garden.

Her first signs of magic manifested when she was about four. She was, as usual, roaming the halls of their house, walking down the stairs from the first floor to the living room; they were not steep, but with one of the cats that always accompanied Alexandra on her daily adventures constantly running around the little girl, it was only obvious she would trip at some point. And she did, almost at the top of the stairs, but instead of falling and probably hurting herself, her fall was unnaturally soft, and in a second, she was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, blissfully unaware.

Alexandra's family made sure that except for exploring the manor, she had many other activities around the house. She was taught to play the violin and speak different languages (mainly German, French, and Dutch) from an early age. She was enrolled in ballet classes at 3 but stopped practicing when she was 7 to instead take up horse riding which she enjoys to this day. Her sisters went to Durmstrang and her parents to Beauxbatons, but before she reached the appropriate age to go to a wizarding school herself, she went to a private school which also cultivated those interests.

Throughout her entire life, she had a rather good relationship with her family, both extended and immediate. Despite busy lives, her parents made sure to spend time with their youngest, and her older sisters were also rather fond of her presence. The only person from her family who actively disliked Alexandra was their great-grandmother who passed away when the girl was seven.
