Alexandra was the produce of a one night stand between an unknown muggle man and an unknown Prositute who gave her up immedately. The woman also just happened to be a Pure Blooded Witch who was so desperate; she became a whore in the muggle world becuase she burned all her bridges in the Wizarding world and had no other choice in the Muggle world but to be whore herself out because she had no formal college degree in the muggle world; she was only 18 years old and a Scottish woman.
The woman showed her mercy by giving her away immediately after her birth, although she was named Alexandra, she never knew her true birthdate as her mother sent her to nearest orphanage. Alex was a lovely baby when the orphanage woman picked her up, she was swabbled in a simple, but elegant blue silk blanket, which seemed to belong to her mother. She always treasured that blanket, despite it being in ruin after she cuddled it as a child.
However, she was immediately put into homes once she was old enough, as a mere toddler, she went to one home to next, unhappily. She never got along with any of the other children, despite being a toddler, she disliked how many other children their were. But, she as she grew older, she grew into a quick witted, but street smart young seven year old.
She hang out with the kids on the street, sometimes getting into fights but defending other kids honor with a passion. She hated bullies so much, that one day she made a bullies hair caught on fire. From that, Alex was immediately taken, not to her surprise. She expected they'd kill her over making that guy's head on fire, however she was not to blame for that... But Alex to this day believes she was. She was 8 years old when that occurred, and now it's been two long years sense that occurred.
