Appearance
Alexia is a light blue-furred hedgehog who stands at 2'8 and weighs 72 lbs. She has several quills behind her head that droop down immensely, and she is a bit skinny due to not letting herself eat as much as she should. She wears a black headband with a snowflake insignia in the middle across her forehead along with a short-sleeve purple shirt with pockets to hold kunai and shuriken. She also has light-blue leggings, and a belt with multiple weapon-carrying pouches.
Personality
Alexia is a rather shy girl, not really liking confronting issues that bother her and preferring to just let things pass by. Alexia is also a very big pushover, and convincing her to do something is very easy. However, this is mainly with people she doesn't know - if it's someone she's acquainted with, she has much more confidence in herself and can make her own decisions without just relying on going with the most peaceful and simple option.
While she doesn't really try in this part, Alexia is a skilled leader - she just doesn't want to be. Because of this, she can seem a bit selfish, letting someone else take charge even though she thinks there are very big flaws with them in that position. However, if someone elects her in a position and/or she's forced into that situation, she won't back down.
Alexia tries very hard to meet up to others' expectations of her... and even beyond them. However, Alexia knows that she's not perfect, and this leads into a bit of self-hatred, because she feels like she can't satisfy others with the littlest things. This internal part of her is mostly a result of her mother's death and Crys' abuse, forming together to make Alexia very self-doubting and disliking.
Alexia is easily impressed by even the smallest things, which makes her gullible and easy to convince if you know what to say and when to say it. With the right combination of persistence and "show don't tell," you can completely fool Alexia for whatever you're trying to get across.
There are certain moments when people doubt themselves where Alexia can get philosophical and deliver a pretty good speech relating to the issues the recipient is having. This fits into Alexia's nature of treating others better than herself, because even when she might tell someone that they're good enough per se, she will absolutely not practice what she preaches.
History
Alexia Marinette Clarisse was born to Cobalt Caytetni and Charm Caytetni, a relatively happy family. She had an older brother named Crys Clarisse, who was fifteen years older than her. Her father, Cobalt, was a long-time instructor at the Kaio-Ken Fighting Academy, which trained powerful students so that they could use their powers to help the world. One day, Alexia presented some of these powers herself - she froze a mug of milk in a solid cube of ice. Cobalt, who also had ice powers, was excited, and he wanted to train Alexia like he would any of his students, but better.
Only problem was that Charm didn't want Alexia to be trained. Alexia was a rather calm and quiet child, and Charm imagined that if Cobalt trained Alexia, it would completely change her nature... and Charm liked her calm nature. However, Cobalt brought up an important point - if someone displayed powers, the best choice was to train them for one central reason - if you didn't, and they grew up not having control, they could possibly become a threat. However, this reason wasn't good enough for Charm, and she and Cobalt argued. A lot. Even though Alexia was still super young, she and Crys would often go into their rooms in order to block out the yelling, and deny the possibility of a divorce. However, all of the Caytetnis knew that it was inevitable.
Predictably, there was a divorce, and Charm got custody. As Cobalt went on to keep teaching at Kaio-Ken, Charm took care of her kids by herself and changed the families' last names to Clarisse, working two jobs in order to make sure they both could live the rest of their childhood normally, and never reminding them about Alexia's powers, or the fact Cobalt was still living around them. As time went on, Alexia grew up, and she began to froget about her father completely.
When Alexia was ten, a very important event happened. It was a normal day - her mother and her were all playing together, enjoying life. However, out of nowhere, ice shards manifested out of thin air, surrounding Alexia. Alexia was scared and unsure of what to do, and Charm tried to get into the ice shards in order to save her daughter. However, she was stabbed repeatedly by the shards, and by the end of it, Charm was dead. Alexia was devastated as she worriedly called 911.
However, it was far too late, and the damage was done. Ashamed of herself, Alexia was sent to live with Crys, who had moved into his own house. When Crys got the news, he was angry - very angry. And, well, Alexia was the cause of his mom, his loving mom, dying, so he used her as an outlet of his rage. For three years, Alexia lived with Crys, and she was physically abused by him, but never said anything about it because she took it as the punishment she deserved. This pain that was inflicted onto her largely hurt her self-confidence, and she stopped eating so much in order to punish herself for the death of her mother. After three long years of Crys' treatment of her, Alexia had enough, but she was too scared to do anything. So, she called her second cousin, Terra Marvel the Ocelot, and told her about her predicament.
Terra was torn when Alexia finished the story, and the hedgehog was in tears. Terra said that Alexia should run to her house, and they'd talk about it more, and Alexia agreed. One day, when Crys had gone to work, Alexia ran, and ran, and ran to Terra's house, not allowing anything to hold her back from escaping. Though it was a long journey, Alexia eventually made it, though she was dirty and exhausted.
Terra, who had told her family about Alexia's situation, were prepared to call the cops on Crys, but Alexia told them not to, for in her eyes, she was the cause of it all, and he "did what anyone would've done." While the Marvel family was very confused, they decided to reluctantly go along with it and let Alexia live with them. Alexia was surprised a family that was already so large (nine kids, two parents) would let her reside with them, but they welcomed her with open arms.
For the next two years, Terra and some of her siblings would train Alexia, teaching her about her powers, which weapons she was best with, and chakra. After a relatively happy time in her life, Alexia was feeling a bit better, while still slightly depressed about her past. That's when she learned about the Kaio-Ken Fighting Academy, and she and Terra enrolled, with Alexia going with Team Chakra and Terra enrolling into Team Chaos.
Powers
Alexia was born with cryokinesis and hydrokinesis, and after some practice with Terra's family, her Kaioken instructors, and Cobalt, she now has good control over it. Alexia doesn't use it to face opponents head-on - instead, she uses her tactical ability to confuse and overwhelm the opponent. She does this by using her chakra, which is like her spiritual source of energy. However, she has a limited supply of chakra, and it can be hard to focus, so she uses hand motions in order to concentrate it in several forms. Due to this, she has created several techniques (called jutsu) that involve manipulating her powers and chakra to help her in combat, including:
- Snowflake Shuriken - a move that involves the use of a shuriken that looks like a shuriken. This has five variations:
- Snowflake Shuriken: Rapid - a move that involves creating small shuriken-like snowflakes and using them as projectiles. If they hit, they freeze the thing that they came into contact with.
- Snowflake Shuriken: Heavy - a move that involves using a large snowflake shuriken and throwing it at the opponent. Though it doesn't freeze anything, it does more damage, and hits/slashes multiple times.
- Snowflake Shuriken: Transport - this is when Alexia uses a large snowflake Shuriken as transportation, allowing her to ride on it.
- Snowflake Shuriken: Surface - Alexia uses a large snowflake shuriken as a defensive tool, like a wall, or to catch her while she's falling.
- Snowflake Shuriken: Snow Smack - Alexia creates a large snowflake shuriken and whacks the opponent with it.
- Shard Fire - Alexia uses shards of ice in several ways. This move has six variations:
- Shard Fire: Whirling Sword - Alexia creates several ice shards around her and they circle around her, a good defensive option when her opponent is in her face.
- Shard Fire: Hard Setup - Alexia fires a large shard of ice forward, and it hits the opponent multiple times, allowing another attack to be fit in.
- Shard Fire: Falling Blizzard - Alexia makes several ice shards fall from above the opponent, a good move for trapping the enemy.
- Shard Fire: Ice Fan - An arc of ice shards appears in front of Alexia, slashing the opponent several times before stabbing them.
- Puddle Pain - a move she learned from her father, Alexia puts a puddle of water down, allowing for her to use her tactical ability to a high amount and set up for traps. This move has six variations:
- Puddle Pain: Slashing Wheel - Out of the puddle, a large shuriken of water pops out, spinning and slashing the opponent repeatedly.
- Puddle Pain: Instant Freeze - used for when the opponent steps in the puddle, in freezes their feet inside, trapping them.
- Puddle Pain: Frozen Floor - an upgraded version of Instant Freeze. Alexia freezes the entire surface, making it slippery.
- Puddle Pain: Cold Cocoon - the opponent steps in the puddle, and water surrounds them before trapping them. Then, Alexia freezes it, leaving the opponent frozen and trapped.
- Samui Exert - an icy spell circle appears in front of Alexia, and a blast of cryokinetic energy is fired from it. It moves slow, but when it hits, it freezes the opponent. This move has one variation:
- Fusion Jutsus: These are combination jutsu that use two of Alexia's techniques and fuses them to create a new one.
- Shard Fire/Puddle Pain Fusion Jutsu: Updraft - an ice spikes rises from underneath the opponent for a surprise attack. However, the ground rumbles underneath the opponent beforehand, so the opponent can predict it coming if they pay attention.
- Shard Fire/Puddle Pain Fusion Jutsu: Frozen Lotus - An upgraded/modified version of Updraft. Alexia has multiple ice spikes pop out of the ground around her, stabbing the opponent if they are near.
- Samui Exert/Shard Fire Fusion Jutsu: Cross Shard - Three icy spell circles appear behind the opponent, and they fire ice shards at them from behind.
- Shard Fire/Puddle Pain Fusion Jutsu: Updraft - an ice spikes rises from underneath the opponent for a surprise attack. However, the ground rumbles underneath the opponent beforehand, so the opponent can predict it coming if they pay attention.
- Cryo Creation - Alexia makes objects out of ice. The bigger the object, the more chakra she uses.
- Power Copy - Alexia creates a clone with her powers. This move has variations:
- Power Copy: Substitution - Alexia jumps back, leaving an ice clone in her place to take the hit.
- Power Copy: Beatdown - Alexia creates multiple clones to overwhelm the opponent.
- Fuyunonami (冬の波, kanji for "waves of winter") - Alexia fires a beam of pure cold energy at the opponent that completely freezes them for a bit if it hits. However, this moves drains quite a lot of chakra out of Alexia, so it's best to use it when she's sure it's going to hit.
- Force Freeze - A weaker version of the technique where Alexia simply puts her hands out and shoot a dense gas that, if applied, long enough, can freeze the target.
Abilities
Alexia constantly has an area of coldness around her, and though she can tone it down slightly, she doesn't have complete control of it. Because of this, she rarely feels heat, and things like fire are her weakness. However, she also has a counter against fire with her hydrokinesis, so it's a triple-edged sword, really.
Alexia also can breathe underwater, so if you're battling under the water, she has an edge, as she can move freely without having to consider things like her breath and when she needs to go up for air. However, her powers are hard to use in water, so, like before, this has its own slight backfire.
Skills
Alexia is a good tactician, being able to scan the field and make decisions based on her current situation. Though she wasn't the best at this in the beginning, with her father's teachings, she was able to improve. She utilizes this when uses her jutsu, especially Puddle Pain. However, when scared, Alexia is not good at this anymore - suddenly, she freezes up and just tries to get out of the situation.
Alexia is also skilled in using shuriken and kunai, using them to pick off enemies. She occasionally uses explosive shuriken/kunai, which can be good for getting the jump on the opponent and set up for further attacks.
