“Hey, I said I was sorry already.” She looked around realizing they were alone before taking a step back and nodding. She uncrossed her arms and relaxed. “I usually have Leo take care of my car, but i’m sure you’re more than capable.” Tucking her stray hair behind her ear she kept her thoughts to herself as she didn’t know who this girl was and didn’t want to make any rash judgements. “Are you new? I just mean i’ve never seen you here before..”

Alexis tensed at the girl’s words. She hated people prying into her business and generally did not respond well to personal questions. These were fairly harmless, though, and Alexis could tell that this woman was trying to be respectful. She hadn’t put up a fight once she knew that Leo wouldn’t be working with her today, and had even given her a vote of confidence, so Alexis  begrudgingly decided that she should return the favor.  “Yeah, I .. uh ... moved here about three weeks ago. My name’s Alexis and I’ve been working with cars my whole life, so don’t worry, you’re in good hands. Uh ... what’s your name?”

Sophie didn’t know what was going on but she knew that she needed to bring her car into the shop. She was usually able to figure out little things but she needed help, which she wasn’t always able to admit. She drove in expecting to see Leo and when she didn’t she called out, “Hello? Anyone here?” She got out of the car and crossed her arms expecting the worst. She kept a smile on her face walking farther into the shop and bumping into the girl. “Oh god i’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you. I just need help with my car, I was expecting to see Leo, but I guess he’s not here.”

Alexis had heard the girl coming but she still didn’t expect to get bumped into. She bit back the vitriol she was about to spit at the stranger with a hiss. Alexis sighed. “Look, you’ve gotta be more careful. I’m working with a lot of dangerous equipment here.” She took a step back and looked the girl up and down. She was pretty, and seemed like a fairly confident person. Alexis assumed that she knew Leo well, and was surprised to see an unfamiliar face in the shop. “Leo’s not here, I’m all you got. You alright with that?”

{ Emmy Rossum ♔ Twenty-eight ♔ she/her } well, well, well if it isn’t Alexis Walker running around peach hollow. legend has it, they come from tangerine towers and have lived here for three weeks. if you’re wondering what they’ve been up to, i hear they’re a mechanic for a living. they have been known to be hot-tempered yet hard working. a word of advice to them, always look over your shoulder. you never know who is watching. { Fiona ♔ 20 ♔ EST ♔ she/her } 

Alexis grew up an only child living in a big city. She graduated high school in 2010, but instead of going to college she started working as a mechanic at a local shop. She is good with cars but specializes in motorcycles.

Alexis has been riding for as long as she can remember and motorcycles are her passion. She’s never felt more free than when she’s flying down the highway at a million miles an hour. There’s nothing and no one in her way, the scenery is zipping by, and she is exposed to the elements rather than trapped behind walls, windows, and doors. Always a good escape from a crowded town.

Alexis worked in the same shop for a many years, eventually becoming a manager. She decided that she wanted to open her own, but this didn’t work out. After getting screwed over by her business partner, Alexis lost a lot of her savings and decided to move out of the city and start over in Peach Hollow.

Prior to this decision, Alexis had been living with her supposedly long-term girlfriend, Holly. However, while Alexis was getting screwed over, her girlfriend was busy getting screwed. After finding out that Holly was cheating on her with her ex-business partner, Alexis knew she definitely needed a fresh start. Hopefully Peaches will be just the place for that.
