Alex is a young woman in her mid-twenties with an average build. She has shoulder-length, wavy auburn hair, striking hazel eyes, and fair skin with a scattering of light freckles. She dresses casually in a light gray hoodie, a graphic t-shirt featuring an abstract design, dark blue jeans, and comfortable sneakers. She often carries a well-worn paperback book.

“Oops.”

“I have to fix this.”
