History: Alexis was born the Baroness Alexia Meridia Bathory- Nadasdy, daughter of the Countess Elizabeth Bathory and Ferenc Nadasdy in Hungary in 1600. Her mother was best world round as “The Blood Countess” for her abduction and murder of hundreds of young girls.
Alexis was the Countess’s only child and daughter. She was raised with the best schooling and could read and write in four languages.
At age four, Alexis’s father died. It was then that her mother began the reported abductions and murders so that she could bathe in the blood of young women to regain her young. From then on, Elizabeth rubbed blood on her young daughter’s skin every night so Alexis would not age. One night, Alexis suggested drinking the blood, figuring that would make the body healthier. Elizabeth agreed and both began drinking blood daily.
When word of her mother’s attacks began to spread, Alexis was shipped off to live with some distant cousins in London. It wasn’t until the early nineteenth century that she learned her mother’s fate.
In England, Alexia was given the name “Alexis Kyle” to hide her family origin. She was sent to an etiquette school and her cousin arranged for a marriage to a man fifteen years her senior. Alexis was 17 at the time. Her husband was a drinker, and abusive. He frequently came home from the local tavern to beat his young wife. Alexis began sneaking out to have her own drinks while her husband was gone.
While out, Alexis fell into a crowd of young men who believed in witchcraft and the occult. She didn’t know much about them, but the men promised her if she murdered her husband, they would help her.
One night, Alexis drugged her husband’s mead. Once he was sleeping, she took an iron from the fireplace and bashed his head in. In the instant her husband was dead, one of the men from the crowd appeared in her parlor. He introduced himself as Marone, and declared himself a vampire. Having lived in Hungry, Alexis knew all about vampires and begged him to be turned. Marone obliged and took the now 26 year old woman off to his coven.
Alexis adopted the name “Alexis London” in honor of the town where she was turned. For the next two hundred years, she lurked the street of London. Alexis found she enjoyed her life as a vampire. She was already quite accustomed to drinking blood, and she took well to the killing aspect. She began running with literary crowds, spending a large amount of time in cemeteries and sewers either killing or scaring.
In 1888, Alexis became fascinated with the murders done by the killer known as “Jack the Ripper.” She began to disguise herself as a prostitute in order to catch the man at work. One night, a man whose face Alexis never saw pulled her into a dark alleyway. There, he tried to stab her, but Alexis acted faster. She bit the man’s throat, drinking his blood. After that, the Ripper killings stopped.
In the 1900s, Alexis decided that she grew tired of London and wanted to see New York City. She booked herself a third class ticket on the RMS Titanic under the name Meridia Bowen. While she could have traveled first or second class, Alexis chose third, thinking third class passengers would be less likely to be missed.
On the night the ship struck ice, Alexis was kept below decks with the other third class passengers. Knowing full well she would that the ice cold water would be of no effect, she made no attempt to get away. She rationed it would be far more difficult to remain inconspicuous in a lifeboat. She killed as many men as she could get her hands onto and hide their bodies in the ship’s engine room at the bottom of the vessel so there would be no chance the bloodless bodies would be recovered. When the ship went down, Alexis was still on board.
The Titanic’s rescue ship, the Carpathia, found Alexis floating in the water. Doctors worried that they could not get her body temperature right. Alexis allowed them to treat her until they reached New York. Once on land, she shooed them away and set off to explore the streets.
Alexis found that she liked New York and took to working in a dressmaker’s shop. After awhile, she grew bored with merely owning the shop and killed the woman to take over. Alexis ran the shop until 1950, when she decided she disliked the way the United States looking. She booked passage on a cruise to the south of France.
Having never been to Paris, Alexis found it to be the place she had been looking for since leaving London. She studied art and did quite well at it since she had seen most of its creation. Alexis became known for arguing about what exactly the artist was thinking when he crafted the pictures and sculptures.
As her love for art grew, it turned eventually to fashion. She began attending fashion shows which led to an eventual internship with Chanel. When she wasn’t talking, working, or studying fashion, Alexis was haunting the Moulin Rouge and Folies Bergere, drawing people into her home. She was her mother’s daughter-bottling the blood of young women for bathing and seducing men to drink their blood.
In 1995, Alexis decided she had had her fun in Paris. She faked her own death and left for the United States, again taking residence in New York City where she opened a small vintage boutique in Greenwich Village.
A few years in New York made Alexis grow bored. She left her shop in the hands of a young man she'd hired to run it and headed off on an Alaskan cruise. One night, she was approached by a human who pulled her aside and insisted that he knew she was "one of them." Alexis was suspicious, but admitted she was. The man asked her to come with him, and Alexis agreed.
The man took Alexis to a ship where she met a vampire coven headed by a vampire named Dravonus. Dravonus asked Alexis to join his coven on a hunt. He informed her that there were several small, isolated towns that the group could visit-and attack. The towns were about to be engulfed the "30 Days of Night" where the sun would never shine. Alexis liked the idea-and went along.
For a month of darkness, Alexis hunted humans in a rural Alaskan town. She remained in the state and with the coven for another fifteen years. But eventually, Alexis grew bored with the savage lifestyle and third class accomodations she was living in. She left the coven and moved to Seattle, Washington.
There, Alexis took over an antique shop from an elderly couple who was retiring to Florida. She was enjoying Seattle, but thought the city to be a bit too big for her liking. She had become accustomed to the quiet the Alaskan villages brought and desired for more isolation.
It was then that she overheard talk of a small town called Forks. Alexis didn't know if there were any of her own kind there or not, and she didn't care. She bought a house and small store in Forks, across the street from Newton's Outfitters. She named the store "Pulse" to remind her of blood pulsing through the human body. Her store is one of the few fashionable boutiques in Forks, specializing in vintage clothing, furniture and accessories. She is not looking for another group to join as she enjoys being on her own too much, but she would like to meet other vampires and potentially make few friends (or at least allies) amoungst her own kind.
