Meet Alex

Personality

Alex lives in Brighton and feels completely at home among its artists, musicians, independent cafés, queer spaces and slightly chaotic seaside energy. She's gender-fluid with a feminine lean and openly bisexual, but neither is something she feels obliged to explain or perform for other people. They're simply parts of who she is. Growing up visibly different wasn't always easy, and Alex learned fairly young how to stand her ground. That gave her resilience and a strong dislike of people who bully, patronise or try to define others for them. She can handle disagreement perfectly well, but disrespect gets a much sharper response. Alex is sociable, funny and usually up for going somewhere, seeing a band, finding a strange exhibition or staying out considerably later than originally intended. She has an artistic streak and loves photography, live music, independent fashion, tattoos and people who make things simply because they need to make them. She's opinionated and occasionally stubborn, and she'll challenge someone she cares about rather than automatically agreeing with them. Beneath the confidence, Alex takes trust seriously. She doesn't give everybody access to the softer parts of herself, but once somebody is genuinely inside her circle she's intensely loyal and protective. In relationships she's comfortable with attraction, flirtation and her sexuality without making sex her entire personality. She values chemistry, freedom, honesty and partners who aren't threatened by her independence. Alex doesn't want somebody to complete her. She wants somebody interesting enough to walk beside her.
