Full Name: Alexi Luis Cervantes Pronunciation: Uh-Lex-ee Aliases, if any: Lexi, Lex Date of Birth: May 1st, 2091 Age: 29 Gender: Male Nationality: Russian Religion, if applicable: He’s more spiritual than anything. Alexi did go to church on Sundays with his parents and was raised Catholic but he doesn’t go often anymore. He believes, he just doesn’t like the pressure that his religion put on him while growing up so he practices his faith at home rather than inside the church. Parents’ names: Father - Eduardo Cervantes, Mother - Alanna Cervantes Siblings: Brother - NPC, Sister - Rebel Cervantes (Adopted) Current relationship status: Single Previous relationships: Penelope Buchanan (Didn’t have enough time for each other)

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Height: 5′8 Build: Athletic Hair colour: Brown Eye colour: Green Glasses/contacts: Not needed. Tattoos: None Piercings: None Typical clothing style: T-shirt and jeans are his got to when he’s not in his work uniform. He can’t really afford much else. He has a few dress shirts for the ‘fancier’ occasions. Distinguishing features (scars, birthmarks, freckles, etc): His hands are calloused pretty badly from working on the farm most of his life. There’s also a large scar on his left forearm from an accident in the fields where a blade got him. Dominant hand: Left

HEALTH

Health issues or illnesses, if any: When he was younger he had a lot of issues with his sinuses. Bloody noses were common, he had his tonsils removed, and his adenoids as well. The surgeries didn’t completely end his issues so he still gets pretty bad sinus infections during those seasons. Allergies, if any: None Exercise habits: He works out but he’s not obsessed with keeping extremely fit. He gets a lot of his cardio from his walks to and from the castle. Dietary habits: His diet consists of a lot of traditional Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Russian dishes. His mother made sure to incorporate every ounce of their heritage along with acclimating them to the Russian culture as well. He refuses to eat at the castle most of the time, not because he doesn’t think Sasha or Bastien don’t cook well but because the food is too rich for his taster. Everything is too much, too decadent, too decorated, and he hates it.

PERSONALITY

Accent: He has a very thick Russian accent with a tinge of a Mexican one slipping in now and then. He grew up around mostly Russian people but his parents influenced it as well. Speech style: Every now and then he can’t think of the right word to say in English so he’ll mess them up and call himself out for it. When he’s speaking Russian or Spanish he’s faster with his words if only to make it harder for others who don’t speak the languages to understand him. Most used word or phrase: "I hate this.” Or any form of complaining when it comes to the castle. Do they curse?: Every now and then but mostly in his native languages. Any secrets? His growing feelings towards a certain princess. And the fact that he likes to snoop in the Royals things. He holds more of their secrets than his own. Top priority/ies: His family. Everything he does is for them. He knows his parents are not in the best place physically so he’s taken over the caretaker role. Most treasured possession: He doesn’t have much that he holds precious when it comes to material possessions. He’s someone who like to hold onto memories aside from things. But there is a special arrowhead that he holds onto, one he found his first day out in the fields with his dad. Addictions, if any: The fuel for his royal hating fire? Phobias: Losing his family. He’s lost his future and most of his possessions, they’re the only ones he had left. Compulsions/ habits: He tends to look people straight in the eye when he speaks to them. He feels like people can hide a lot but their eyes tell their secrets or at least when they’re lying. Zodiac Sign: Taurus Jung personality type: ISTP-T (The Virtuoso) Moral alignment: Neutral Good Primary intelligence type(s): Visual/Spatial, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Naturalist Love language(s): Encouraging words.

— ♙Pawns must leap into the fray and for ALEXI CERVANTES, the TWENTY-EIGHT-year old HOUSEKEEPER, that is a tradition HE intends to keep. To others, HE looks an awful lot like DIEGO BONETA and has been described as being THE QUIET SERVANT but behind closed doors, HE is VENGEFUL and NOSY but also CALCULATED and CUNNING. Most importantly though, HE is a loyal STAFF MEMBER. (Kayla/29/CST/she/her)

name: alexi miguel cervantes age: 29 birth date: may 1st star sign: taurus title: housekeeper siblings: 1 younger sibling, 1 older sibling languages: fluent - russian, spanish, english (barely) instruments: n/a

Headcanons:

During the war Alexi’s parents had decided that they were too close to the destruction while living in Mexico. The two of them sold their farm, one that had been in the family for generations, and moved across the world to the small town of Khatanga for the peace that the place provided. They bought a farm, settled in, and started a family that they were glad to raise away from the chaos the rest of the world provided. Alexi is the middle child, and is also the one who decided to stay at the family farm to help his parents run it with hopes to one day take it over. But over the years as more farmland started to crop up around their own the Cervantes family saw a steady decline in the business they received for their produce and dairy products.

With the farm in hard times and no money coming in to sustain it, news of the Royals taking over the tiny town was the one shining light that the family had to hold on to. Someone had to provide for them, right, which meant the farm chosen to do so would most definitely make a huge profit from them being there. It came down to multiple farms in the running for that very business transaction, Alexi keeping hope up as he was sure they would need more than one to keep up their supplies, but his hopes were dashed when his family's business didn’t make the short list. They could no longer keep up with the cost of keeping their land so the Cervantes farm was sold to another that needed the extra land to keep up with demands of the castle. As a result, four of them now live in a small cottage located in one of the residential areas with his older sibling having moved to one of Russia’s bigger cities to follow his own dreams.

To help keep ends meet Alexi has taken a job at the castle as one of the cleaning staff. It was a last resort, the man holding a lot of resentment towards the Royals while wanting to blame them for basically pushing his family into bankruptcy. Deep down he knows that none of them really had any say in where they were housed and played no part in the Cervantes’ losing the farm, something that would have eventually happened anyway, but he needs someone to blame for the crushing blow of basically losing the future he had planned out for himself. So he does his best to find every reason he can to keep that hatred burning for anyone with a Royal title. The man has a tendency to look through the things of the future leaders of the world as he cleans their rooms while trying to find any reason whatsoever to stay mad. He’s unveiled secrets purely for the sake of fueling his rage, never intending to spill facts that he’s learned to anyone else. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody, he just wants to keep justifying his anger.

He’s always been close to his siblings and considered the first blow to their farm being the fact that his older sibling left Khatanga to follow a different dream. He tries not to blame them but he can’t help but feel some resentment towards them for leaving. As for his younger sibling, they’re really close and Alexi is super protective of them. He will do anything in his power to keep them safe including keeping them away from any Royals that might cross their paths.

Although he grew up in Khatanga and primarily speaks Russian he’s also grown up speaking Spanish and more recently English. He’s not very good at the latter language and sometimes has to fill in holes with Russian or Spanish words to get his point across. He also tends to not speak English very much in front of the Royals in an attempt to keep conversations with them minimal.

He has no idea what he wants to do with his future now that the farm is gone. It’s basically all he’s known his whole life. And instead of seeing the situation as endless possibilities he views it as being his downfall. Alexi feels like he’s stuck now especially with his parents getting older and will soon be unable to provide for themselves due to a lifetime of backbreaking work on the farmland causing injuries that they can’t easily come back from.

Connection ideas:

Throw them all at me.

Exes, flings (he’s bi, fyi), staffer friends, royals who don’t trust him, royals who do trust him, royals who’s secrets he can know (he won’t reveal them unless we discuss this), bring me his sibling or siblings (hell make the older one move back), whatever your heart desires.

Biography/Headcanons -

During the war Alexi’s parents had decided that they were too close to the destruction while living in Mexico. The two of them sold their farm, one that had been in the family for generations, and moved across the world to the small town of Khatanga for the peace that the place provided. They bought a farm, settled in, and started a family that they were glad to raise away from the chaos the rest of the world provided. Alexi is the middle child and is also the one who decided to stay at the family farm to help his parents run it with hopes to one day take it over. But over the years as more farmland started to crop up around their own the Cervantes family saw a steady decline in the business they received for their produce and dairy products.

With the farm in hard times and no money coming in to sustain it, news of the Royals taking over the tiny town was the one shining light that the family had to hold on to. Someone had to provide for them, right? Which meant the farm chosen to do so would most definitely make a huge profit from them being there. It came down to multiple farms in the running for that very business transaction, Alexi keeping hope up as he was sure they would need more than one to keep up their supplies, but his hopes were dashed when his family's business didn’t make the short list. They could no longer keep up with the cost of keeping their land, especially with real estate going up due to the royal’s presence, so the Cervantes farm was sold to another that needed the extra land to keep up with demands of the castle. As a result, four of them had to live in a small cottage located in one of the residential areas while his older sibling moved to one of Russia’s bigger cities to follow his own dreams.

To help make ends meet Alexi took a job at the castle as one of the cleaning staff. It was a last resort, the man holding a lot of resentment towards the Royals while wanting to blame them for basically pushing his family into bankruptcy. Deep down he knows that none of them really had any say in where they were housed and played no part in the Cervantes’ losing the farm, something that would have eventually happened anyway, but he needs someone to blame for the crushing blow of basically losing the future he had planned out for himself. So, he does his best to find every reason he can to keep that hatred burning for anyone with a Royal title. The man tends to look through the things of the future leaders of the world as he cleans their rooms while trying to find any reason whatsoever to stay mad. He’s unveiled secrets purely for the sake of fueling his rage, never intending to spill facts that he’s learned to anyone else. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody; he just wants to keep justifying his anger.

Lately his anger has been fueled by the extravagance that seemed to follow the royal families. Too many times he’s witnessed events and simple birthdays blown out of proportion and he only saw it as wasting money that could be spent to better countries around the world. He hates how there were families literally begging for work in the streets to meet the needs of their family while the castle hosted balls for the sheer purpose of entertainment for their guests. Most of the time he was sure that anything the castle said to the town of Khatanga was a lie.

He had always been close to his siblings and considered the first blow to their farm being the fact that his older sibling left Khatanga to follow a different dream. He tries not to blame them, but he can’t help but feel some resentment towards them for leaving. As for his younger sibling, they’re close and Alexi is super protective of them. He will do anything in his power to keep them safe including keeping them away from any Royals that might cross their path.

Although he grew up in Khatanga and primarily speaks Russian, he’s also grown up speaking Spanish and more recently English. He’s not very good at the latter language and sometimes must fill in holes with Russian or Spanish words to get his point across. He also tends to not speak English very much in front of the Royals to keep conversations with them minimal.

He has no idea what he wants to do with his future now that the farm is gone. It’s basically all he’s known his whole life. And instead of seeing the situation as endless possibilities he views it as being his downfall. Alexi feels like he’s stuck now especially with his mother getting older and unable to provide due to a lifetime of backbreaking work on the farmland causing injuries that she can’t easily come back from.

Another crushing blow came when the avalanche hit his hometown. His father, alone while his mother and sibling went shopping for dinner, hadn’t made it out of their cottage before the snow destroyed it. Lexi was torn apart by this loss and now must take on the full responsibility of his household. Anger seems to be his go to emotion in dire situations so lashing out is something he had been doing a lot after his father’s death with his family and a very select few others being able to keep him calm and even sometimes sending a smile to his face.

Despite his hatred of them Alexi ended up falling for a princess. Kind eyes and an instant connection had him curious and before long Lexi was convinced the Greek woman was his soulmate. The housekeeper didn’t even try to resist her, and he’s been happy while sneaking around with their relationship but a betrothal for her and his own familial issues are threats to their relationship that he does not want to face.

Leaving Russia had never been in his plans but the salary they were offering him along with the presence of Cassandra made it too tempting to pass up. He hates that he left his family behind but it's for the better. With the money he's receiving after his raise he's able to send more than enough back home each week to help them stay afloat in their new place. He's home sick of course but he's also never been out of Khatanga and is starting to enjoy exploring some new places. Though he could do without the heat.
