Alix Walker

A British-Polish Deveraux agent, Alix's talent lies in her ability to unite people - be they her friends, colleagues, or family. She could only be described as a social character, although she has slowly learnt to deal with being alone for large periods on missions. Following her mother's death, in the last few years Alix has begun to strongly embrace her Polish side in an effort to bring her closer to her mother's roots.

Alix's defining physical feature, in her own opinion, is her hair; short, jet-black, and artificially straightened, it's every bit as tomboy as she is. This dark band of hair stands in stark contrast to her pale skin and electric-blue eyes. At 5'2¼", Alix is at best average for her build, a fact she's very aware of and was once an issue for her, with her often feeling uncomfortable when around the abnormally-tall population of Deveraux. Much like her hair, Alix's choice of clothing reflects her boyish personality. When on her own time she can be found wearing stylish Camo gear, a style which went out of fashion long ago and has still to make its much-rumoured comeback.

A trait she most definitely inherited from her father (much to her mother's disdain), Alix is very easy to get on with, unless you piss her off. From the start, Alix never felt as though she fitted in at Deveraux - most likely because, not there as an agent like all the others her age, she didn't. This bothered Alix, making it especially hard to make friends with anyone her own age. Despite this, she resolutely refused to change, only making friends when she was finally admitted to Newbolt Wing. Add to that the determination she fostered whilst being denied admittance into Newbolt and you have the essence of what makes Alix the agent she is. Despite her determination to succeed, Alix is still a very easy-going agent, a contributing factor to her popularity.

Although Alix couldn't stand sport, from an early age she fell in love with Parkour, the art of freerunning. For a 'sport' whose popularity waned many years ago when technology began to make it obsolete, Alix's mastery has impressed many at Deveraux, and she's still campaigning for the Board to make it an option for all students.

To have been called Alexis but for her mother's last-minute intervention, Alix Walker was born and raised in London by her mother, an aspiring artist, and her father, one of Deveraux's British Selector Agents. Although her mother was keen to raise Alix amidst British culture, she desired her daughter to have an equal awareness of her Polish heritage. It would only be in later life that her daughter, too, desired this, for at the age of thirteen Alix found herself without a mother. Krystyna Walker, refusing to hand over her her handbag in an attempted mugging, was stabbed in the chest three times by her female assailant. Less than a month later Alix found herself plucked from her roots as her father, on what appeared to her at the time as something of a whim, took a live-in post at the Deveraux College in the United States.

It took Alix two years of pestering Colin Johnson and continually proving herself before she was granted admittance to the College's Newbolt Wing. After the two hardest years of her life, Alix Walker graduated to the post of Roaming Agent, finding herself straddling most of Europe as a Roja agent.
