Personality-
Alexandria is generally a decent person who looks out for herself and those close to her. She does not go out of her way to make friends for the sake of making friends but will help out those who seem to need it or could have a potential use. Alexandria is also the sort that knows exactly what it is she wants when she wants it and will go to extraordinary lengths to achieve that desire.
Alexandria knows who she is in the world and will sometimes go out of her way to point it out to those who will give her the time to. She is proud of her accomplishments and wants everyone else to be in awe of or at least respect them as she as worked hard to get what she has achieved. It could be say she is almost too proud of them with her boisterous nature when it comes to announcing them.
She is also quite spontaneous and will randomly embark on some new quest or voyage just to keep from being bored. Once she has started something however, she sees it through to the finish, regardless of her motivations for beginning the endeavor in the first place. This has resulted in a few learning experiences for Alexandria, whenever those quests end up being foolish.
When it comes to love, Alexandria sees the potential beauty all people have. She does not care if it is a man or woman, if the person is ugly or attractive, as long as the potential lover can form an emotional and intellectual bond with her. Few people however have ever met that requirement and has kept her single for most of her adult life.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Negative Vision
Alexandria has the ability to invert the main parts of her eyes (pupils, retinas, and rods) to see in the negative version of the color spectrum. As a result, Alexandria is able to see in pitch black conditions as if it was full light out, as well as withstand intense light without being blinded. Due to the nature that illusion energies are inflected, Alexandria is also able to see through optical illusions when using her power.
Superhuman Accuracy
Alexandria's brain center for aim, precision, and accuracy is at peak of human ability. Through this peak condition, Alexandria needs only a moment in order to accurately aim a weapon at a target. It also enables Alexandria the ability to judge distances accurately such that she would know how hard or how far in front of a target she would need to fire a weapon in order to achieve a hitting strike.
Limits-
Negative Vision
Although her ability allows her to see in the dark, it takes her eyes a minute to adjust from her normal vision to her ability enhanced vision. If she were to walk into a dark cave, she would not be ability to see until her eyes had completely inverted to the negative spectrum. Likewise, if she were to look up into the sun and attempt to use her ability to avoid blindness, it would not work until her eyes had achieved full transition. While transitioning between the different spectrums, she is unable to see at all.
Superhuman Accuracy
Alexandria must have her target in the line of sight in order to user ability. While used in conjunction with her other ability, it takes Alexandria twice as long to properly align her target, to compensate for the change of sensory perception. Regardless of her ability to accurately judge things, Alexandria does need to be able to focus in that split second it takes for her to use her ability. A sudden noise or distraction (ie being bumped into) as she is using it will render her ability to that of an average person.
Appearance-
Alexandria is an average height and weight, standing a five foot seven inches tall and weighing one hundred forty pounds. Her figure is curved and easily made out in her tight fitting clothing. Her complexion is a pale white when not tanned. Her long blonde hair is kept down most of the time, though she occasionally has it a light brown if she stays out of the sun for too long.
Her light brown eyes stick out, as they draw you in with their depth. She often wears eye liner and eye shadow to augment her eyes and distract from an otherwise an average and plain looking face. When she decides to spruce up, she'll put on a cherry red lipstick to add some flair to her face.
She tends to prefer tight fitting, form flattering clothing, taking great pride in her body. Sometimes she can be coaxed into a loose dress or outfit if meant for a normal occasion. She prefers heels or heeled boots in beige or black, though she does own a pair of running shoes that she sometimes wears to the grocery store or when she is out exercising.

History-
Alexandria was born into a moderately wealthy family. Her mother, a registered nurse named Heather, made a respectable salary, her father, an electrical engineer named Anthony, made a six digit salary. The Hardt's had a small family fortune to begin with, as both of Alexandria's maternal grandparents were doctors as well. The Hardt's were able to give Alexandria, as well as her later siblings, the twins Daymon and Eliza, a good childhood and education through their earnings. They were also provided with a stable home life, as their parents maintained the family home in Pittsburgh, turning down better paying positions throughout the country on numerous occasions to keep their family in the same steady home.
Alexandria noticed around the age of eleven, that if she concentrated long enough, she could make herself see in the dark without no problems. During the same year, during a set of archery lessons at the private academy Alexandria attended, her instructor noticed that Alexandria hit direct bulls-eyes on every attempt even when only taking momentary glimpses at the target. Believing the youngster to be a protege in weaponry, the instructor had her sign up for the fencing club that the academy had. During her time with the club, she learned various methods of sword play and developed a real appetite for achieving victory. She quickly rose through the ranks of club, until she was the best fencer in just a matter of months when those she usurped had taken years to achieve the same results.
During tournaments with the fencing club, Alexandria developed a real mean streak any time she was defeated. On one such occasion for the state championship, Alexandria had to be held back by her club mates from striking out against the young man who had defeated her. Sensing a lack of discipline from their daughter, Alexandria's parents suggested that she join the armed forces after her graduation. Eager to prove her parents wrong and seeing the challenge as a new adventure, Alexandria agreed to join the Air Force.
Alexandria found basic training difficult, as she was forced to work with a many people who did not share the same devotion to be the best they could be. She shrugged it off as just mere "young and dumb" attitude but was surprised to find much of the same in flight school. While she was studying how operate and fix all the different kind of aircraft that the Air Force had in its arsenal, many of the other recruits were partying or goofing off. It came as no surprise to her or her instructors that Alexandria graduated at the top of her class and was immediately assigned to a unit that was being deployed to Germany.
Two years passed by in Germany with little more than drills and Alexandria was becoming a bit bored with her assignment. She was about to request a transfer to a different unit but then 9/11 happened. Although it took six months before they retaliated, Alexandria's unit was one of the first ones into Afghanistan. She and her team hit numerous targets with no civilian casualties.Despite having it out many times with her squad mates during drills, they all gave her the due praise when their commanding officer inquired as how they maintained such an impressive record when other, more experienced units could not.
With another war opening up in Iraq, and her impressive track record, the brass was considering having Alexandria go career and accept an officer's commission. One of her competitors for the position had overheard the conversation and had become jealous that he was going to be overlooked because of the "spunky rich female". Alexandria has always been open to whoever she could get emotionally attached to and had taken a woman home with her the last time she had had a vacation. Unfortunately for Alexandria, a photo of her and the woman popped up into the brass' inbox and Alexandria was immediately discharged and sent back home to the states in the summer of 2006.
When she arrived back home from the Middle East, she felt slighted and agitated at the government. Having been completely devoted to her squad, to her unit, and to her country, she felt it unfair that just because she was open to any form of love she was no longer considered fit for service. Her skills as pilot though kept her from being without work, as she was quickly hired by a flight instruction school in Philadelphia.
The work for the school was easy but kept her busy, with a surprising amount of people in the city and surrounding area wanting to learn how to operate airplanes. Alexandria was content but not quite satisfied with life, as she felt she had the abilities to do more than just be a simple flight instructor. However, with the military no longer an option and the so called "security" firms being far too shady for her liking, she let the years go by without much complaint.
It was not until the fateful day on April 4th, 2010 that Alexandria realized that she had abilities. While all of the people in the park she had been talking a walk in had displayed extraordinary powers, Alexandria experienced nothing at all. This lead to her to the conclusion that what she had merely thought was good eyesight and exceptional reflexes had to actually be superhuman powers. Part of her wanted to be proud of these abilities but she felt cheapened by them at first, as if her own achievements had not been fully earned. Instead of celebrating her abilities, she kept them quiet and hidden from all those that knew her.
After the Costa Verde and Hell incidents transpired, Alexandria knew that people like her, Specials they called them, were going to be facing a new type of segregation. There would be a movement, first against Special, and then a fight back. Knowing her skills in combat would be needed but rusty, Alexandria finally decided to accept a contract from one of the "security" firms that had been bothering her since her return from Iraq. Though the work was shady, Alexandria thought it was better to sharpen her skills with the devil she knew rather than fight the devil she did not out of practice.
Anything else?- Alexandria owns a samurai sword that she uses in personal encounters.
Sample RP-
"Red five, watch it, you're going to get yourself killed. I am not coming to save your ass again." Alexandria yelled into the radio that was attached to her breath mask. She was not sure why she was even still with this outfit, it had only taken two bombing missions to get her back into the swing of things. Maybe it was their goals, noble enough as they were, to provide a stable government to the oppressed peoples of this country. Hell, the entire Middle East and Northern Africa were falling to pieces though and they were not going to be able to be everywhere at once.
"Dammit Red leader, this flak is killing me. Can't you take it out?" Well of course she could take it out but that meant putting her ass back out on the line to save his. This would be the fourth time she would have to bail his ass out cause he could not keep up with her and avoid the anti-aircraft weaponry that was being fired their way.
"Alright, hold your horses, I am coming. You're lucky I am still here to save your ass, another few days and I will be stateside again.
Turning her F-35 around, she decided that she was going to end the flak coming at them once and for all. Switching from her bombs to the 25 mm cannons, she began her her attack approach. Noticing the jet coming back around and not in a bombing run, the cannon tried to quickly alter its attack height. It was too late, as with just a simple glance at the cannon's location, Alexandria pulled the trigger and laid waste to the installation before pulling back up and heading back into the now flak free skies. "Thanks Alexandria, you saved my ass, again. I owe you a few beers when we get back to base." came through the intercom as she and the other three aircraft that were apart of this bombing run headed back towards the private base that their contractors had used.
As they returned back, Alexandria was quiet as she contemplated her future. The protests back in the States told her that the war she knew would happen was coming. It had always been just a matter of when and not if once the Registration Law went into effect. Though she had become close to these couple of knuckleheads, their cause was not hers. This had all been about getting her combat skills back up to snuff and she had did that. Now she just needed to figure out how to put them to use and for the right people back home.
