til now. Growing up in a magical household - one that was just on the good side of chaotic with three kids tearing through it - Alix didn't imagine that she'd end up having a tough time at Hogwarts. Being sorted into Slytherin was no real surprise, given that her family had a history of being sorted into the house, but it proved the making of Alix. She spent seven years there, fighting against the judgment of some of her fellow students - using her fists just as much as her mouth. It meant that she graduated with a thick skin and a determination to prove to all of her doubters, that she wasn't soft. Those hard edges made for a decent reputation as a bounty hunter, but a lonely life outside of it. A chance meeting with Sam Carter at the Ministry would change her life, what started out as a ruse to hide her presence from the witch she was hunting because a real relationship - a marriage in the end - and a family of her own that she never could've imagined just a few years before. Now Alix is having to sit out a fight against the Englightened that she would usually have thrown herself into with little regard for her own safety - with a baby on board there are just some battles you can't risk.
friends. At school Alix had few friends and things didn't change much when she went to work at the Ministry. It took years of building a network of coworkers to get her to start opening up, Sam finally throwing the gates wide open to her. Alix still isn't the friendliest sort, but now she's willing to gives other a chance at least.
enemies. Being a bounty hunter means there are plenty of these. There are few people who appreciate being hauled off to Azkaban for their crimes. With the emergence of the Enlightened Alix imagines that number will grow, but that doesn't mean that she's going to back down from the fight to keep their world safe.
family. Family was always important to Alix. She was incredible close to her family - as much to her mum's muggle side of things as her dad's wizarding side. She's still very close to her brothers, although it only takes a quidditch match to have the three of them roaring at one another. Starting to date Sam meant that her family suddenly expanded. There was no guarantee Sam's kids would want a step-mom, but they opened their arms to her just like their dad had. When a friend of theirs ended up orphaned and alone, there was no question about it. Alix ended up adopting her with Sam and became both a mom and step-mom with the arrival of their daughter Quinn. Now Alix is pregnant again - becoming a mom of five is definitely daunting.
lovers. Relationships were something that Alix actively avoided for a long time. It was easier not to let people close enough to leave her heart vulnerable, but the day she met Sam at the Ministry that began to change. Like a kid dipping a toe into a swimming pool, she slowly eased herself into friendship, then dating, and then after they discovered she was pregnant, rapidly into something deeper. Marriage isn't something she ever saw coming, but now that she has her family with Sam, she wouldn't swap any of it for the world.
