Her younger brother Andrew was born and Alex does everything in her power to be the best big sister ever.
When Alex was 14 and Andrew was 4 their parents died when an office building collapsed. Alex was there too but manged to survive. Alex was in the hospital for a while after because her left leg was badly injured. She now has a robotic cast that she has on the leg so she can walk and run. Soon after Alex got out of the hospital she ran away with Andrew to get away from the foster care system. Alex managed to get some fake ID's and other paperwork so she is now 19 but is really 16.

So I'm just a pre-mod thing, so not really a mod, and no ability to actually approve anything. It looks all ok to me though, except for the strengths and weaknesses bit. It's been said she's a bit of a shy personality, but the whole stubborn/blunt/cynical/adventurous seems to clash with that a bit. (Not saying that a shy person couldn't be persistent in what she does, or a bit cynical in her view of the world, actually she probably would be. I'm not sure how adventurous fits in though.) Depending upon your version of shy, this might mean she avoids people? And thus wouldn't exactly be blunt against people's feelings because she'd be avoiding getting involved with them or hurting their feelings altogether?

Can you elaborate on this better for me?

(Did I do okay Robin?)

High five meta.

I pretty much agree. Shy should be elaborated on. I'm really just concerned with conflicts of adventurism and bluntness. Just let us know which things take priority over others. Is she shy, but wishes to be blunt outloud instead of in her thoughts? Is she blunt and regretful of the attention it brings? Is she blunt only when she wouldn't be criticized for it? How about adventure, does she push past her shyness enough to get started, or maybe she does that and then regrets it? Maybe she just wishes to go out places more? Go ahead and give us the details of those boundaries.

Okay blah Alex is Shy because she usually avoids interacting with people. She is blunt because she can't read peoples feelings very well and usually speaks her mind with little filter. Alex is Cynical because of most of the things that have happened to her but she enjoys going out on a limb in an adventure to have fun.

I hope that's good!
