Personality

Alex has a shy personality, generally not speaking with others and even resorts to just nodding or shaking his head in terms of responding. Typically, he’s much more comfortable with talking to Evomon and interacting with them over people due to his asocial personality. He’s also gentle, taking things slow with Evomon who might need a slower approach and having a strong urge to help those in need. Especially with Evomon, Alex comes off as quiet as well where sometimes people don’t realize he’s there not exactly liking to become center of attention. He can however, get protective of his belongings primarily that of things that have sentimental value to him.

Background

At a young age, Alex had always had trouble communicating with other people and coming out of his reclusive nature to make friends. Keeping to himself only communicating with members of his family, finding it much easier being friends with his family Evomon, Nooki. During school, Alex never really made any friends keeping himself to the books and studying. Only speaking with the School Evomon, having especially a hard time communicating with teachers. On his 9^th birthday, his grandmother gifted Alex a journal to help him communicate his feelings and thoughts better to hopefully help with his shyness. He’s very protective of this journal and only allows his parents and grandmother to read the contents of this journal.

Outside of family functions and school, Alex enjoys going to the park to read or study. Sometimes he goes on long hikes where he’ll find a spot to sit down with his family Evomon and read for hours. When he’s not doing this, he sometimes follows his cousin Yukiya who primarily does most of the talking and generally tries to help him come out of his shell more having a completely opposite personality. Alex also helps his grandmother with her garden at her home, he manages in taking some wild Evomon out of the garden and putting them at the edge of the forest without causing them harm. Always believing it’d be easier to gently remove them over other most hostile means in terms of pesticides that’d hurt helpful Evomon that help the flowers and plants grow or causing death to Evomon. Gaining interest in becoming a vet, he’d started to read up on schools and what he’d need to do to be accepted.

With this new goal in mind, his parents suggested that Alex go to an upcoming event in Thundore Bay in gaining his first Evomon and potentially making some friends. Convincing him that he could experience different environments along with different Evomon in a more natural setting that could help him in becoming a vet. After refusing to do so a couple times, it took Yukiya to finally convince Alex to travel to Candea for the event.

On his arrival, Alex didn’t interact much with the other teens and young adults at the event. Even keeping to himself primarily, he did however look over several Evomon. Noticing Remni who’d gotten out of his holding pen to hide, but Alex knelt down and gained Remni’s trust. Having a connection with Remni due to Remni’s timid nature reminding him of himself as a child.
