Lexi, "Sorghum"

16-24

Cis Female

She/Her

•Loxley can't sleep without the windows open.

•Always sits on the floor when she's doing something that requires concentration.

•Eight times out of ten, she wears mismatched socks, though, not on purpose, she just grabs and goes.

•Constantly has chapped lips.

•She got the nickname "Sorghum" because her father was a farmer and his main income came from selling the sorghum grain. Her brother Elijah, while in the middle of a heated argument called her sorghum (he's not very good with comebacks) and he later stated that it was because Loxley was a very sour/bitter person who could be sweet at times, just like the plant.

Name: Loxley Mablewood
Nickname: Lexi, Sorghum (inside joke with her younger brother)
Age: 21
Gender: Cis Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Straight
Race: Human; Russian/American

Appearance: Loxley has round slightly downturned eyes and while they make her eyes look a little bigger than your average almond shape, her deadpan expression lessens the hawk-eye stare she rocks when she's glaring at someone. Her eye color is pure ocean blue with a darker blue ring around the iris. She doesn't usually wear winged eyeliner but does like how mascara and waterline eyeliner look. Sometimes if she's feeling good enough about herself, she'll wear nude eyeshadow both on the top and a little on the bottom of her eyes- she's not a huge fan of smoking it out however.
Loxley's nose is on the sharper end of things, the bridge is straight and thin with the tip upturned into what looked like to be the start of a button nose but without the softness of one. Her lips are also on the thinner side with the bottom looking slightly plumper than the top, still, it strangely looks pouty despite not having rounder lips. She has a vague "m" shape that lines the top of her lips but overall looks to be softened out significantly.

Like most of Loxely's features, the shape of her face is also thin but softly rounded. She has a combination of oblong and heart face shapes, a strong jawline, and slightly dipped cheeks adding to the thinness of her face.

Loxley's hair is by far the most unimpressive thing about her. She has straight thick brown dull hair. It used to come down to the small of her back but at one point made a huge chop that brought it just below her shoulders. She has bangs that are a bit longer than they should be with pieces that frame her face that are even longer than her bangs but shorter than her actual haircut. Loxley's style is very much the messy kind and that applies to her hair nearly twenty-four-seven. She doesn't tend to style it much but loves pulling it back with clips and leaving stray hair in the way of her face (which kind of defeats the purpose of the clip in the first place, but she can't be bothered to fix it). Quick hairstyles are her go-to and two of the most frequent ones you'll see her have are low messy double buns or a low messy ponytail. Sometimes she'll brush her hair, sometimes she won't, and on the days she doesn't it becomes a problem, tangling quite easily.

'Chick stands at 5'7" and weighs 122 lbs. She's got an ectomorph body type and is very light for someone her height and age. This is due to her biology and a few bad eating habits she has, cigarettes taking up full meals on certain days.

Her skin is very fair and takes on a pale ivory/vanilla color with cool undertones. She has a light dusting of brown freckles mainly on the top portion of her cheeks just under her eyes and over the bridge of her nose, with the rest more scattered out and less noticeable.
She has her lobe and upper lobe pierced for a total of four piercings, two on each side, as well as two tragus piercings, one on each side.
These are two examples of what she closely looks like: I and II.

Clothes: Loxley's style ranges from flat-out grunge with band t-shirts and long skirts with platform loafers and long arm warmers, to a southernized version of goth with softly worn-down cowboy boots and lacey trimmings on the ends of her skirts, dresses, or socks- even lacey chokers. She's also a huge fan of pajamas and doesn't care if she wears them out too.
A lot of the colors she wears are pure white, browns, black, dark blues, and other washed-out colors that look like a very muddled version of their bright counterparts.
Some examples of what she may wear: I, II, and III.

Condition(s) (if any): Mild Depression, Anxiety, Cigarette Addicted

Personality: Loxley is no longer religious but one of the many things she carries from her past and the place she grew up in is the self-righteous arrogance many of her church congregation had. However, while she will stand firm in what she knows (even if it's wrong) she can admit when she's being a dick and acknowledge the truth even if it stings her ego a bit. Her personality is not like that of the other church girls she grew up around and in fact, she turned out to be quite the opposite with a loud and strong voice that demanded to be heard. She turned out to be pretty bold and a bit of a risk-taker. Challenging authority seemed to be a fun pass time for her and she couldn't have cared less if they arrested her for underage drinking and breaking into abandoned buildings with her then-boyfriend.
While Loxley can be wild and a bit cruel at times, she can also be a very kind individual. She feels her feelings out in the open and if you make her cry she won't go off to hide somewhere and cry in silence. She'll make it known that you were the one to hurt her even if the thought of being vulnerable makes her want to scream.

Even though at first glance (and even with first impressions) she seems a bit dismissive and lazy, she's surprisingly a very dependable and responsible individual. She may not seem like the type but she rarely lies about how she feels or what she's truly thinking. Sugar-coating things is not exactly her style and she may come off as a bit rude sometimes, but when it counts, she is a lot gentler and soft with others if she knows they're going through a rough time.
Loxley is very assertive in who she is, she knows what she wants and thinks she's clear about that, but somewhere in the middle of all her words, they can also lose translation. So while she may mean one thing, it is oftentimes interpreted as something entirely different.
One thing about her though, is you can count on having a good time, whether that be sitting in silence and taking in each other's presence or breaking the law by riding on top of a freight train. She's not sweet without being sour at first, but if she ends up liking you, a lot of the sweeter side of her will show through and you'll find yourself taking up priority in her life.

Background: A lot of what went down in her past contributed to making her into who she is now and one of the main things that threw her off track was her parent's divorce. Like a lot of families, her parent's relationship started out loving and healthy and then slowly declined into frustration and yelling over the years. No one was without fault and both of her parents were to blame for the lack of communication and raised expectations. Their fights never escalated into physical violence but a lot of the fighting centered attention in the household, overshadowing Loxley and her younger brother, Elijah. While there was no harm done to anyone, the passive aggressiveness reverberated through the house in the form of slamming doors and being unnecessarily forceful with tasks like washing the dishes that would often be thrown into the drying rack without thought.
Ironic as it may seem, the Mablewood family was expected to go to church every Sunday and be on their best behavior. Reading the bible and praying were often used as punishments when the kids were caught in anything that displeased their parents inside the household despite them saying that those were "good things".

At the time, as Loxley's parents kept having it out for each other, Loxley ended up joining a band of kids who were well-known to be bad influences in the town, and as she went off the rails with her newfound friends, her actions and person as a whole continued to go ignored, a lot of the times even harshly dismissed. Her grades dropped and her bad behavior skyrocketed to the point where suspensions were common nearly every other week until the school suspended her permanently. Her parents only found out about this a year later when she turned eighteen and already had a job as a waitress at a local dinner for the remainder of what should have been her last school year.
