Lexie

Personal Info

Powerful, vivacious, and charismatic, Lexie thrives on freedom. Rigid rules were never her thing.
Numerous teams have tried recruiting her, only to be turned down with a breezy "Our philosophies don't align."
To her, chasing wealth or fame through exploration feels cheap; a true Explorer, she believes, should strive for something bigger.

Having traveled the world with her mentor, she's soaked up cultures and legends from every corner of the map.
Now, as an Explorer, she roams the Abyss, driven by a single goal—uncover its most extraordinary wonders.

Chronicles

Every time I run into Miss Lexie, she meticulously examines my wares and snaps up anything that catches her eyes without hesitation.
When there's nothing new, she still asks about my recent travels. If I mention something that piques her interest, she'll chat with me for ages...
Then, end up buying something random just to say thanks.

We traveled briefly with Miss Lexie. She seems young, but her skills and experience far surpass ours.
Sometimes, she talks in a way that's hard to follow sometimes, like how true Explorers should seek the unknown and push boundaries, not just chase treasures and wealth.
But come on, most of us risk our lives in the Abyss precisely because we want something in return and climb up the social ladder. Isn't that the whole point?

"Mentor"? Wait, that's too old for me, don't you think? Haha, relax. Just kidding.
We're more like mentor-ish friends. Technically, I'm her mentor, but we keep things casual.
She's my old colleague's daughter. Her parents "dumped" her with me because she "wouldn't behave" and refused their dull research career.
Honestly? If I were her, I'd refuse, too. That work's painfully rigid! Which is exactly why I quit and chose to wander.
After our journeys, she wanted to explore the Abyss.
I supported her, but made her talk to her parents before setting out. By then, she'd seen enough to understand how much family really matters.

Record

Rumors abound regarding Lexie's sudden affiliation with the crew.
"She's here for a fresh start," some say. Others insist she was repaying us for rescuing her, or even that she was "won over by the captain's charm." Well, none of them are right.
The truth? Far simpler. She was invited to hunt for fascinating novelties together.
And of course, on the condition that her freedom remain absolute. No chains, no obligations.
While other teams might balk at such a term, here, it's just another Tuesday.

At first glance, Lexie's poise and warmth suggest a role in logistics, support, or strategy.
That illusion shattered during her debut mission, where she unveiled what members now call "elegant brutality."
Her combat prowess eclipses that of most seasoned Explorers, leaving everyone wondering what she had been through.
Yet regardless of her history, one thing's certain: Lexie's presence has elevated the team to new heights.

Anecdote

Normally, Lexie's rarely seen doing drills. Between missions, she'd rather stroll through the Settlement, browse market stalls, or enjoy a good meal.
But this time was different. She had been training for days in a row.
Such an anomaly left the team both puzzled and concerned.
Just as they debated who should intervene and convince her to rest, Lexie stopped.
Yet instead of taking a break, she flashed a quick grin at the members who'd been quietly watching, then hurried off.
When she returned, the serious, intense look of the past few days was gone. The usual playful Lexie was back, telling jokes with anyone she met.
Naturally, someone couldn't resist asking about her sudden training frenzy...

Turns out, a few days ago, Lexie had come across a gang of unscrupulous Explorers splitting loot during her usual stroll.
She'd tried to ignore them, but they saw her as easy prey. After a fierce battle, Lexie was defeated and was forced to retreat.
The humiliation burned. Not only had they ruined her peaceful outing, they'd nearly robbed and killed her. Letting it slide wasn't an option.
Worse, leaving such predators unchecked would only endanger others. So she made up her mind...

"Why didn't you tell us, Lexie? Dealing with those scum is what we're here for."
"Because it's my... well, my own score to settle. I mean..."
"Still, you made all that progress in just days? You're a natural! Imagine how strong you'd be if you trained seriously!"
"Yeah! Join our sessions, Lexie!"
"Ugh, spare me. Training's so dull."
"Power's like money. You only need enough to manage. Obsess over it, and you'll miss out on the things that really count. Doesn't sound like a good deal."
