Nickname: The Lone Star State

Human Name: Alexa F. Austin

Age: 19 Years Old

Gender: Female

Historical Background: The region was first documented by Spanish explorers and named Tejas in 1519. When the French first settled Tejas in 1685, the Spanish decided to build missions in the region to ward off French interests, although the region remained underdeveloped for over a century. In 1821, Tejas became a part of Mexico after their war of independence from Spain; they joined Coahuila to become a single Mexican state in 1824. With growing American settlement and distrust toward Mexico's central government, Texas declared its independence on March 2, 1836. After the Texas Revolution, the Republic of Texas lasted for about a decade before becoming annexed into the United States of America.

Personality: Ambitious and Arrogant. Everything is bigger in Texas—including their voice, their ego, and their stomach. This friendly cowgirl tries to get along with everyone around her, however, she tends to find herself at odds with various individuals and get into heated fights as a result. The amount of animosity she gets for being dumb, crazy, annoying, bullheaded, hot-tempered, rebellious, and troublesome—basically being herself—has often driven her close to secession. But as always, she rarely follows through on her threats. Deep in her heart, her fierce love for independence hides a bit of the loneliness and insecurities she experienced in the past. Rarely does she show it, but she can sometimes appear cool and standoffish when her mood is gravely serious; it's quite disquieting. Fortunately, she has a lot of pride and confidence to move ahead and work on becoming a bigger and better person. Anything standing in her way will get their ass kicked (and their head blown off). Otherwise, she's always thrilled to have a friend or a partner join her side.

Trivia:
+ Her original human name was Alejandra.
+ She has an attraction for muscles.
+ There's no question Whataburger is a Texas treasure. With that said, she also likes going to Fuddruckers for their burgers.
+ While a regular H-E-B shopper, she'll sometimes shop at Whole Foods. But given the chance whenever on long road trips, she'll always stop by and splurge at Buc-ee's; Beaver Nuggets is always a must-buy.
+ When it comes to anime, she prefers dub over sub. Speaking of which, her favorite anime of all time is King of the Hill.
