Alexandra 1019 AC:
She looks tall, strong, and very athletic, that's why people never guessed that Alexandra actually was a sickly kid. When she was younger she spend more time on bed resting than playing outside like her siblings. However she was still really close to her brother Thincol whom she idolise the most. She was always the happiest when her brother come back from his adventures and shared his stories on being hero and slaying monsters with her. That motivates her to get better and stronger, so one day she can go on adventure with him.

However the dream shattered once she heard the news about her beloved brother's death in the hand of the frost giants. It hits her hard and since then she direct her grief and anger towards her training as warrior. She wants to be the strongest, the toughest, and the bravest so one day she can avenge her brother. Thincol’s death also makes her to be impatient and often reckless because she developed a fear for loss, she often rushed things than to missed it entirely. (She also still keep tiny hope deep down that somehow Thincol still alive, since they never recovered his body at all.)

Alexandra is not really close with her sister Joanna because of their age gap and different interests but they get along just fine. She has difficult relationship with Eusebius though, because he disapprove her desire to be a warrior and adventurer. It’s not that he doesn’t think that Alexandra is a good fighter, but after Thincol’s death he become overprotective towards his siblings. He’d rather not lose another one and Alexandra’s recklessness makes him worried most of the time. She doesn’t take this too well however, and become even more stubborn to prove to Eusebius that she is more than capable to take care of herself. Her younger brother Quintus is her favourite after Thincol though, they get along really well and she’s really proud of him being the squire of Prince Justin Karameikos. They often train together back then and Alexandra passed the story and admiration towards Thincol down to Quintus.

Her relationship with her parents currently not the best since Alexandra defy their wish to marry her off to another family for political purposes and wished to go on adventure instead. She simply has no interest in romance as she thinks of it as a mundane thing that get in the way of her training as a fighter. Sir Gabrionus Vorloi was really angry at her and almost cut her off the family if her mother didn’t interfere. Aara managed to convinced her husband that Alexandra only need to see the harshness of real world to make her turned back and choose the comfort of arranged marriage. So they gave her permission to go, with one condition: she have to become a Knight of the Griffon within the year. Otherwise, she'll have to come back to do as her parents wished.

When Sir Thincol fell in 1012 AC he was with his friend and mentor Sir Vadarin the Strong, 'The Iron Knight'. The knights of Karameikos under Vadarin won the battle against the invading frost giants with the aid of their mountain dwarf allies, saving Castellan Keep and the Freestead Valley. Grand Duke Stefan subsequently appointed Vadarin as the first Baron of Castellan.
