History: Alexis appeared a long time back to Vash, bent on killing him because of being hurt indirectly by him, or more precicely, his reputation. She once ran an orphanage in Inepril city, taking care of children abandoned by their parents after the Plant(s) malfunctioned. She had a shady reputation amongst adults for seeming 'strange', having a very old bounty on her head and rumors of immortality. The orphanage was razed by men who tried to force her to be their pawn in the unt for Vash. Alexis blamed Vash for this and went to take revenge. However, once finding him she hadn't the nerve. She traveled with Vash and his crew (all dead now ^^;;) for a while, then parted with them and came to September.
Not so common knowledge: Upon reaching September, she was taken in by Legato. He took her in to train her as a gift for his master. He was the forst to notice her mental abilities and sought to mold her into a Gung Ho Gun. While with Legato, he created his infamous fortress in September and his 'training' her ended up causing many local deaths. She was to be taken to the 'gravesite', the place where Rem's bones lie for a lesson of some sort when the group vanished.
Stuff only Legato or an empath knows: Alexis is a creation of one of the Augusta Plants; however, flawed, she will never reach the capacity of thought of a true Plant and suffers mental weaknesses. She is at least 90 years old. She has empathic abilities and has learned to use this abillity to send mental sensations of pain to others in order to pacify or kill. She is scarred from head to toe, hence her covering her body, the only place mostly free of scars is her face, which now has a long scar across her cheek. Vash also knows of her scars and advanced healing abilities.
Stuff Knives knows: Knives once came across a young child in the waste of Augusta that looked like himself as an infant. She was angry and claimed that the destroyed plant there was her mother. She travelled with him for a while.
The whole backstory!!!: Alexis was created by a lonely Plant very soon after the crash, using Knives and Vash as an example. She has the ability to walk outside freely and the plant hoped she could communicate to the humans. However, when Alexis was still an infant (by Plant terms) humans entered into the plant and started configuring it for use. Alexis was terrified of the men and angry for them hurting her 'mother". She attacked them mentally and was shot in the chest three times (she still bears these scars) and she was draged outside to be disposed of, presumably dead. She awakened and killed three workers there.
That day Alexis's mental powers created an image of her, somewhat of a ghost that haunted the plant. This caused her to lose all memory of her past and so she wandered the streets as an orphan. She had to steal her food and often was hurt doing so. As she grew older, she gained bounties on her head and was unable to escape the cycle.
Only after struggling and lying low for decades, waiting for people to forget about her, did she open her orphanage, hoping to take care of other orphans and teach them not to hate.
The ghost haunted the Augusta plant until it's destruction, also
meeting knives. Through Legato's training, Alexis's mental powers
were reborn, and she is close to joining with her former self. Slowly
memories are coming back to her in flashes.
