PERSONALITY:Alexia is undeniably a great actress. While performing on the stage, she will smile and dance as the perfect dirty, or innocent, little stripper girl she has to be. While off the job, tough, she is a very defensive young girl who's complete trust does not come relatively easily, anymore. She cannot stand to be told what to do and has great trouble with authority, but when the word comes from Vinnie, she has no choice but to obey, as much as she hates it.
Sometimes, she thinks that things would be so much easier if she just completely became the new person she pretends to be every night, on the job, but there is always an inner voice to keep her from losing herself. She is still naïve on the inside and still has very, very childish believing that she secretly clings to, to get by. She believes in the ' he/she died for him/her ' fairytales, because she could actually do that for someone else. As a matter of fact, she always seize the chance to take someone else«'s beating when she cares about them. When the dark world she lives in surrounds her, she tends to escape in her own little world, but not as much as she used to. Alex actually grew angry at the world and her dreams for what her life has become. She even grew a very pessimist part of herself - something that she never ever thought she would do.
When she has a few drinks, Alexia can loose total control over herself and her emotions, something she is not aware that she inherited from her father.
If we all should die tonight we would have no regrets;
BACKGROUND: Alexia Kennedy Avery was born a normal and healthy child to the a young and loving couple. Her father, Caine Kennedy was 19 at the time, while her mother, Lily, was 20. They were high school sweethearts and after their daughter's birth, things went very smoothly and they were just a casual and happy family. However, when she was only two, the girl's parents became a little uncomfortable with each other and harmony was just no more part of their life. The break-up was not excessively horrible, things just weren't working out and it was better that they broke. The mother took off with the children to a small town, Dexly, and Caine was allowed visitation. He was a hard worker man and lived at a good distance from the little girl, but he always managed to visit Alexia. Most of the time, they would take off for the entire day, wandering down the streets and getting ice cream. She adored it.
The young girl grew up normally and she was soon a young girl with a certain attitude and dreams she was not afraid to accomplish. She wanted to become a star and her parents would never dissuade her. She developed a deep passion for Music and Cinema at a very young age. She had parents who could get along, great friends, and she was doing okay in school, being the class' beloved clown. Everything was wonderful, until the little café at which her mother was working was replaced by a new establishment called the Shady Lady. The money was short for a little while but soon enough the bills would get paid and there were extras. She was a little too young to ask questions about the changes, but her mother informed her job was not different and that the establishment had simply changed it’s name. It was the only time she lied to her daughter, but it was a drastic one.
Years flew by and one tragic day, Lily found out that she was struck with breast cancer. They had money to get her treatments from the hospital, but soon enough, a more expansive surgery had to be made quickly. Alexia was devastated, but one day, a man came knocking at their door, claiming to be Lily’s boss. He was coming to ask why she was missing the job constantly, and the young girl announced him that she was ill. He seemed cold at first but the man, Vinnie, actually end up listening to the young girl, which made her feel great. He said he was sorry, but before he left, Alexia offered to work for him to get the money needed for the surgery. He simply answered ‘ of course ‘ and told her to be at the Shady Lady the next day.
She had turned 16 only a few months prior to then, but she lied about it , which was easy since she had always looked and acted at least two years older than she was, and she started working for Vinnie as a simple waitress, but she soon found out that her mother’s working environment wasn’t as casual as she thought. She was simply serving drinks, but there were actually women stripping on a stage near the bar. She felt completely out of place and soon, Vinnie offered to give her all the money needed for her mother’s surgery, which they could give him back by both working as waitress and as the make up artist afterwards. Alexia could not explain it, but she trusted him completely and he seemed so honest that she accepted. This was her greatest mistake, since she had never told her mother that she even met Vinnie. Had she told her, Lily could have admitted that she was truly the make up artist for the strippers, could have warned her that he did not care less about her because she had disobeyed him many times and often stuck her nose where she shouldn't have, and he was not a man who could forgave and forget.
Somehow, the surgery didn’t work and Lily died from her cancer. Alexia’s whole world caved in very quickly after that. She was now left alone, owing Vinnie a lot of money, who wasn’t that very nice and charismatic man anymore. She understood soon enough that she was not going to be able to repay everything as a simple waitress, and trying to run away on him was not an option. She was now caught in a world she never thought was only two streets away from her little ‘ home sweet home ‘. Eventually, she simply drop out of school, since her abscences there were bringing up questions she didn't have the strenght to make up lies for.
After Lily’s death, Caine insisted and insisted again to take Alexia in, but she always refused, saying she was going to live with friends, away from the town, but as his demands became more frequent, she said she wanted to be left alone and cut all bridges with him. She was lying about the friends, of course, because she had done the same thing with him than with all of them. She was now left alone willingly with her new life, thinking it was all better that way. She was way too ashamed to look at any of them in the eyes. She is still convinced that all of this is her fault and she is deeply disgusted by herself, but she is only one of those girls who got unfairly tricked in this dark city.

‘’ Sucker … ‘’ She mumbled as she tried for the hundredth time to start her lighter, which finally worked, thanks to the mystic wonders of swearing…
Alexia sighed with with relief as she finally lit up her cigarette. She dropped the metallic lighter in the mess of dresses and shoes that was the floor of her ‘ loge ‘ and exhaled the smoke with delight. She laid her head back and stared at the roof, taking a deep breath, as she turned the little stick between her trembling fingers. She had to calm down, it was her turn any minutes now, and she couldn’t look like a trembling little girl on the job. It was unprofessional, shameful and it was certainly not going to pay well. She should have been used to the whole thing by now, but it was never the same before any shows. Tonight, she was nervous, for god knows what reasons.
It wasn't the kind of stress that made you wondering if you would perform well or if the audience was going to like it and applause. She couldn't care less of what those men, and even those women, tought and if they liked her performance, they did not even paid attention to the performance, only to the clothings ... or mostly, what it let them see. It wasn't a job she loved, or even liked, most of the time, so the feedback was of no importance. She only wanted the night to end as soon as possible so that she can get paid and go back home at once. The calming toughts kept floating reassuringly in her head until they were interrupted by a feminine voice, calling out her name. Well, her second name, the one they gave her.
- '' On it, Candy, '' The teenager called back, ditching her cigarette.
She got up slowly, took off her dressing gown and dropped it on the chair she had been siting on. A cold breeze freezed momentarilly her now half naked body as she headed for the stage, or maybe it was a cold chill of fear. She could not tell the difference anymore.
