character information ● name: Alex Fierro ● canon: Magnus Chase & the Gods of Asgard ● canon point: After Loki's locked up again, but before the epilogue. ● age: ~17
● abilities: "Loki's Brood" - As a child of Loki, Alex is capable of shapeshifting, and does so very naturally at this point. In fact, she's been doing it since she realized that she's genderfluid, matching her physical sex to her gender at any given time. She's also technically capable of powerful magic--seidr--but at this time she doesn't know much about it. Loki did teach her how to turn anything into a weapon, so that's sort of the one bit of magic she's taken to.
Einherji - Because she died a hero and was chosen by a Valkyrie (her sister), Alex also happens to have a handful of dead teenage warrior abilities. Mainly, she's much, much stronger than a regular old human, much faster, has better senses in general, and she's technically immortal. She's also a lot harder to kill in general.
She also has at least one ability that comes from her father's side of the family (hinting at Alex's connection to potentially another godly pantheon), which is the ability to create clay golems.
● strengths: Alex refuses to allow herself to be ashamed of who or what she is, and she especially refuses to allow anyone else to shame her; she's a survivor and is proud of it. As such, she tends to be a little brash and cocky, quick to make herself heard and intolerant of prejudice and ignorance. She's glad to help educate someone who's genuinely interested and has questions, but she wants people to first take the initiative to learn what they can on their own.
She's very self-aware, and realizes that the way she grew up was unhealthy and left behind problems and scars, and she copes with a lot of her emotional issues by channeling that energy into her pottery.
When she's around people she likes, she's relaxed and funny, with a sarcastic sense of humor. She likes to dish it out, and she can take it, too, as long as people don't get personal or bring her gender into it. Her hallmates in Valhalla have more or less become her family, and Magnus and Samirah are especially important to her. Though relationships can be difficult for her to form, she's incredibly loyal once her trust has been earned.
Unsurprisingly, Alex is also very adaptable. She's a child of Loki, a shapeshifter, and she embodies less of her mother's trickster nature and more of his chaotic, ever-changing nature.
● weaknesses: As a child, her father abused and mistreated her, and her stepmother let it happen. Because of this and her years being homeless, Alex has developed a very jaded, suspicious nature. She suspects everyone, particularly adults, because in her experience, very little good comes of associating with them. It takes a great deal to earn her trust, because people she should have been able to trust betrayed her over the years.
She's a very private person, and though she's shared a few things about her background with her friends, for the most part she keeps stubbornly silent about what she's endured up until now. She was even willing to refuse healing by Magnus because she didn't want him in her head seeing her memories. She doesn't like to make herself vulnerable, because she's learned the hard way that it's a quick way to get hurt.
She struggles a great deal with anger, given the things that have happened to her all her life, and sometimes that manifests itself through violence. Thankfully, she channels that violence and anger through healthy means (or daily battles in Valhalla), but it makes her uncomfortable that she still can't let it go.
