Mental characteristics

Personal history

Not much is known about Alexandra’s past. She makes no secret that she originally lived in Montaigne, and moved to Eisen after her rite of majority to join the Confidante’s Guild. She inherited the House of Scarlet Silk when her Master in the guild, Master Damiano Sutek, was murdered after a dice game gone wrong. In his will, he left the House and its wealth to Alexandra in the hopes that she would continue to run it well and care for the other workers there. Even though she is only a journeyer, she was permitted to keep the House and has turned it into one of the most popular brothels in Novandria.

Employment

Alexandra is responsible for the welfare and operation of the House of Scarlet Silk, which includes managing the everyday functions, training apprentices, helping arrange clients for the younger journeyers, and organizing social functions there. She also takes clients of her own, which can lead her to entertaining from the House or accompanying a client on a social outing.
Although only a journeyer in the guild, she is a very popular Confidante, and it is rare that a night passes without at least a request for her company. She has brought the House of Scarlet Silk into one of the most respected Houses within Novandria.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Alexandra is motivated by keeping the House running well, taking care of those in her employ, and achieving her Mastery in the Confidante’s Guild

Likes & Dislikes

Alexandra is a creature of comfort. Good food, good wine, soft fabrics, sparkling treasures, luxurious baths -- all of these are pleasures she indulges in often. While she can rough it, she prefers not to.
She loves to entertain and socialize, whether at the House of Scarlet Silk, on the arm of a client, or even out on her own for a trip to the opera or burlesque.
She is a skilled performer both vocally and with the harp, and she can sometimes be convinced to perform one of her dances involving flaming ropes or torches. She enjoys calligraphy and sewing, and loves to see artwork that other people have created.
Alexandra is also an incredibly sexual being. As a member of the Confidante's Guild, she has been trained in a wide variety of sexual practices: domination, submission, bondage, sadism, and is familiar and comfortable with many kinks. She is deeply sensual and enjoys pampering people with baths, hair brushings, massage, and the like. She has no gender preferences and has had clients of multiple genders, races, and sexualities.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Whatever family Alexandra has remaining, she does not speak of them. Her family, such as it is, is made of the apprentices and journeyers under her employ. She does not have many close friends, but she does have professional and social contacts galore through her work.

Alexandra is polytheistic, paying homage to Peitho, Athesne, Fodla, Lucetius, Nicodemus, Sephira, and Steyfano

Speech

Alexandra speaks with a deep, soft, calm voice, nearly a purr, unless she gets agitated, in which case her Montaigne accent becomes more prominent and her speech gets faster

Between her inheritance and her popularity as a Confidante, Alexandra is incredibly wealthy, although she does not flaunt it. She is not nobility, but many of her clients are, and she spends most of her time with the upper and upper-middle classes.
