History:
Alexandra was the first born child of a fairly well off family, in a small rural town on the western coast of Australia. Her mother was a teacher at the local primary school, while her father taught science at the local highschool. When she was five, her mother gave birth to twin boys, who were named Hamish and Jonathan.
Life growing up was fairly typical. She was something of a surfie, swimming like a fish and riding the waves like the best of them. She was also very into the bush around her, being an avid bird watcher and developing a good knowledge of wildflowers.
When she was ten her father was involved in a car crash. Though he survived the initial wreck, he never awoke and the adults of the family eventually decided to turn off his life support. Unable to support two young children and a daughter who was rapidly becoming a teen, on a single income, and continue to care for the three as they should be, Alex's mother moved their family away from their home and into the big city, where they would be closer to grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Alex did not cope well with the move. She made friends with the 'trouble' kids at her new school, and eventually fell in with the gang who worked the area. The keen intellect and nimble fingers which would one day make her a fine doctor, were turned to shoplifting, picking pockets and eventually picking locks. During this time she learned to handle a gun, though she was never personally involved in the more violent crimes.
She constantly picked fights at school, with the teachers as often as the other students. Her grades were abysmal, the third lowest in her entire year. Though she had a sharp wit and a lack of tolerance for fools, she never quite crossed the line to expulsion, though her mouthy ways had her dancing close to that edge on many occasions.
Over the next few years she would be arrested multiple times, with charges ranging from shoplifting, to misdemeanour assault, and drug possession. She was never given jail time, since the only ones which were ever provable, were minor ones which incurred fines, but no time behind bars, and several of the more serious things over which she was arrested, turned out to have not been her fault at all.
When she was 18, having just graduated from highschool with exceptionally good scores given her attitude towards her school work, Alex's mother died. Custody of her brothers was given to their grandparents. This was the wake up call Alex needed to get her life back on track. With the help of a police officer with whom she was friendly, Alex managed to get herself into an army training scheme. They would pay for her to get a university education and officers training and in exchange, she would be required to work for them for several years.
Alex chose to become a doctor, graduating with Honours for a Bachelor of medicine with specialities in General Practise and Emergency Medicine. She then, as was expected of her, started working with the army. She was moved around a lot, going where the army sent her, though she maintained a small home near where her grandparents lived.
Much of the work she would do was classified, not so much because of what she was doing, but because she was often attached to combat groups, or assigned to areas of socio-political instability, and much of what occurred in those places really was classified stuff, even if her patching people up wasn't really a classified thing. She would pick up several languages, not enough to be able to speak them fluently, but enough to ask the relevant questions and understand the answers, and she learned to curse in several more. She spent quite a bit of time in Afghanistan, attached to Operation Slipper. During that time she dealt mainly with Australian and American troops as well as the occasional civilian.
She had been granted some vacation time, when her life was turned upside down. While walking along the beach during a visit to the town where she grew up, she came across a strange egg, half buried in the sand and clearly abandoned by what ever had lain it. Curious, she took it back to her motel room, wrapping it in an old jumper, and setting it under a heatlamp. That evening it hatched, producing a tiny, blue, dragonlike creature. It was clearly a carnivore, so she fed it, and could swear that she was feeling it's hunger.
Her discovery, and impression, of what she would later learn was called a firelizard, prompted a great flurry of activity among her superiors. Eventually someone thought to tell her what was going on. She was to pack her things in preparation for an assignment of indefinite length. She was sent to America, informed that she was to be attached to a military base there, and that there would be more information about what was going on, once she got there.
Thus it was that Alexandra ended up at Rocky Weyr. She was there only a single day when she was searched out, by the same dragon and rider who had agreed to speak to her about the strange creatures she had never heard of before. At first she was reluctant, but when she was informed of what happened to baby dragon who couldn't find their bondmates, she agreed to stand as a candidate.
