STRIKE A POSE ' '
Physical Appearance:
It would be best to start of with Alexandria's face. Alexandria has very strong cheek bones. That just stick out, but not in a bad way. They add to her beauty, making her more exotic looking. Her lips are slender at the top, with a noticeable, but sweet dip in the middle. They are a light, sweet nude pink in color. Alexandria's nose starts a bit too narrow looking, but as it bridges out it actually helps balance out her face. Her eyes are slender shaped, and are a deep, chocolate brown. Her skin, is a a natural tone that is tan and beautiful. As if she stole a Latina's skin.
Alexandria's hair is quite something. It is very thick, and reaches down almost to the small of her back. But over the years she has done so many different styles to it, it has no true shape. It seems as if it isn't naturally curly, wavy, or straight because she changes it so much! But of course, you have to choose one of these. So generally, it is wavy. In color, it is a deep, dark black. No tints of blue or anything. The one thing she has not changed about her hair is its color.
Alexandria's body is hot, but a stick. She is extremely slender, so she seems as if she used to be anorexic. Her height height is 5"9, quite tall actually.
With all these features, you could mistake her for a Latina.
LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '
Personality Description:
Alexandria would be the perfect mother someday. She is kind, passionate, and patient. Alexandria's kindess has gone great stretches in her life, she likes to push it to the limit just to make things right again. So you could also describe her as determined. Alexandria is also very passionate about the things she does. She is also strong-minded, not letting harsh words get to her.
Alexandria is also a bit too helpful, going once again over the limit just to make sure someone or something is in good shape again. Being helpful comes from a myth that Isis saved her son, Horus, from Seth, the murderer of her husband, Osiris. While on the run, Isis worked hard and nursed Horus when he was stun by a lethal scorpion. Alexandria is also very smart, she actually knows three languages and is learning a fourth. They are Arabic (her first language), English, and French. She is learning Spanish. This is the good side of Alexandria.
The bad side of Alexandria is small. But it can be a bit suprising. Alexandria can be a bit, self-absorbed at times. She will only worry about herself. Her helpful trait will come in and she will, well, help herself. She will also be very rude to someone who needs help but she doesn't think they deserve it.
On top of all this, Alexandria has a sexy side. She can not only be loving and heart-breakingly beautiful. She can use her skillful toungue to woo a boy. Though she isn't ever unfaithful to whatever guy she is with, she has had many beaus thanks to these abilities.

Place of Origin:Philae,Egypt
History:
Alexandria comes from a large family, which influences why she wants a large family herself. Her father, Hakeem ,married her mother, Manar. Though her name is more of an American name, her parents loved the city of Alexandria and decided to name her after it. Alexandria has five sisters and three brothers. Including herself, that is a total of nine kids. Her determination comes from her eldest brother, Mohammed, who never let her give up on things she startd doing. And when she is self-absorbed, it comes from all her sisters. All five are older than her. But it mostly comes from Meenat-Allah, her second eldest sister who always has her nose in the mirror. Being a natural born mother and being overly helpful comes from being in a large family. Her parents expected cheerfulness with chores and no complaining. And to always help with younger siblings (though Alexandria only had one younger sibling, her brother Nalen).
Now of all the many myths of Isis, Alexandria has experianced them in some form or another. One night, Alexandria heard her parents argueing over her. Her father was swearing up and down. Her mother trying not to break down to tears and hold herself together. It was over who would she marry. Her family was Muslim, and they practiced arranged marriages still. Her father said a man that was about twelve years older than Alexandria would be perfect. He could easily provide for her and keep her in line. But her mother found (unusually since it was usually the father) found another man, only four years older than her. Her mother thought since the ages were closer, she would be happier. Her father finally had it about ten minutes into it and actually slapped her mother across the face. He had the right to do this apparently. Her mother wasn't staying in a "Muslim woman's place". Alexandria was so upset she ran off, just like Isis ran off from Set with Horus. Just this time she was alone and she wasn't trying to protect anything but herself. Things got better for the then eleven year old.
Alexandria discovered her ability after she saw her brother, Nalen, squashed a little bug outside their home when she was seven. She told him to stop but five year old Nalen just snickered and ran off. Alexandria kneeled over the little bug, wishing it would just come back. But suddenly she heard an annoying buzz. It was like it was straight in her ear. No other bug was near. She looked down at the little bug, it was still squashed. Where did the buzz come from then? It was as if the dead bug was telling her something from the afterlife. She didn't believe it at first, but when she went inside, she still heard it. It wasn't until she was eleven did she realize what it actually was. Necromancy wasn't just raising a dead body, it was calling forth an apparition/ghost as well. And that one day is when she somehow called forth an apparation. She suddenly remembered seeing a light greyish thing flying in front of her eyes that day, and that must of been the apparation.
At 14, her power increased to tiny mammals instead of just itsy bitsy bugs. But one day, Nalen once again tryig to be annoying. He was spying on her and saw her perform her power on a dead, little animal. He told all his friends. Word spread around, then one day, Pantheon stepped in.

ROLEPLAYING SAMPLE ' '
Although the statement that the boy didn't refer to himself as 'Mr.' was rather confusing Benjamin grasped rather well what he was getting at, something about the word bothered the boy. That was as clear as day, distracting the man from a quick analyzation of the handshake, too engrossed in thought process. Perhaps there was an issue of respect? Not to imply that Kayden was disrespectful, he didn't seem as though the type to 'speak' loud enough to even consider disrespecting another being. It looked as though he had almost been beaten into submission, into passivity. Benjamin withdrew his hand rather quickly, amongst his many quirks the man himself wasn't much on touching. Although certainly nowhere near enough to be considered a Haphephobe. "Quite alright, I don't typically refer to myself as 'Mr.' either." a terrible joke, still Benjamin got a slight kick out of it, creasing the left corner of his mouth in a slight grin which faded quite quickly.
As his newest patient took his seat Benjamin did the same, pulling one of the folding chairs out slightly away and placing several feet from the man before sitting, crossing his right leg over the left. The question of, as to why he was here to see him was quite simple. Why are you here? Why am I? You are here by decision. As to why you are in the seat there, it is simple, you have a journey ahead of you; now let me explain my part in that journey. I am here to sit beside you as you pass the River Styx go into the Mouth of Hell and hopefully, hopefully come out the other side. but he couldn't rightly say that, now could he? In fact there was a nice little sub-clause in the employee handbook about spewing babble that could land you as a patient here, not good for business. "Well, what I do is check up on our newest members and see how they're adjusting. I also see some of our elder members, but for the moment you are here mainly for the first reason. So, how have you adjusted?" it seemed as if the man didn't wish to be here, as everyone does at first. Benjamin had grasped why, no one wished to be incarcerated, especially when they had done literally nothing other than make one or two silly mistakes which they often grasped immediately after entering here. Benjie assumed, no knew, already that the boy was of that type. Anyone who had seen his chart could have immediately of grasped such a thing.
Earlier he had specifically said 'Mainly', the next part of the job was to check if the previous doctor was half-decent and had diagnosed the patient correctly. A relatively simple procedure, scanning over the previous doctor's notes if the patient showed the correct signs for their illnesses, they would be shipped off to another of Blackwood's fantastic staff as so they could further diagnose the patients; however, if the patient did not show the signs Benjamin and around two other Psychiatrists re-diagnosed the patient and continued onward with Therapy sessions. Misdiagnosis surprisingly happened much more often than one would thought, but for obvious legal reasons they rarely escaped building walls.
Benjamin stretched backward a bit letting out a slight yawn "Sorry, didn't get much sleep." very unprofessional, something that he rarely was "Now onward onto a few basic questions. The first, have you been on any medications that we might not know about, or narcotics for that matter? Remember you are safe from persecution here. Two, suicidal thoughts of late? Three, Mood swings?" first it would be best to let the boy answer these few questions.
