ellie’s features softened as the other spoke, clasping her clipboard to her chest.  the brunette remembered the entry exams well, the all nighters she spent studying, words jumbling in her brain, blurred through tired eyes.  true, it was not so long ago, but she did not envy anyone in that present position of stress.  ‘nervous?’ she asked casually, a warm smirk painting her lips.  ‘yeah me too but you know what kids are like.  i didn’t volunteer last year,’ (or this year for that matter), ‘but this other guy who did told me one of the workers accidentally nailed a wooden plank to their hand.’

“you mean in general? or for the exam?” Lex teased, hands coming to rest on her hips. “I just want to do it right the first time.” common sense, really, but she wasn’t at the pointing of really cracking down to study yet. a smile showed on her face at the mention of kids, eyes glancing over to a particularly rowdy group before they were back on the other woman. “what?! as if there wasn’t already enough horror and gore around here. damn, I hope someone was here to help.” Halloween seemed to be one of those holidays looming with danger, probably from the very fact that it was based on terror in particular. “I’m Lex, by the way,” she offered, looking over to make sure no one had trouble exiting the haunted house.

closed starter for @lexramirez​ / drawing the short straw wasn’t the half of it. there was literally no place on earth ellie would want to be less than setting up a medic stand at the halloween carnival.  firstly, outside was dirty, secondly sticky candy filled children were dirty, thirdly, there was a wax house and those figures were creepy, and sticky, and gross.  irritably, ellie pulled on her vinyl gloves and began checking off her list of items, fingers rifling through her box of bandages and medic tape and everything else she had been forced to pack for the event.  ‘before you ask, it’s only five so i’m not officially on shift yet.’ she said without even looking up at the person approaching. 

to be fair, Lex wasn’t overly enthusiastic about her assignment to the haunted house. so when she saw someone setting up what looked like a medical booth it obviously drew her attention and she made her way over to check it out. chuckling at the other woman’s words she shook her head even if she wouldn’t see it. “no, not asking for medical attention,” Alexandra started, hands up in a gesture of mock surrender. “I’m taking the boards in a few months for my nursing degree, so the medical supplies drew me in.” she seemed incredibly organized as she studied the table, a trait that Lex appreciated in someone else. “I’m hoping this is just a precaution and they don’t think there will actually be the need for health services,” she stated somewhat nervously.

ALEXANDRA RAMIREZ is TWENTY-SIX YEARS OLD. people say they look like BRENDA SONG, but they don’t see it. they were once known as JULIE JAMES from I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, but now they’re just your average VICTIM. I’d watch out if I were you, I wouldn’t want to get on anyone’s bad side. you never know what might happen…

HEADCANONS:

Alexandra carries around a constant feeling of guilt, sometimes wondering where exactly it came from. she tends to gravitate towards people she thinks she can “fix,” and takes it very personally when something doesn’t go the way she plans.

because of this Lex is very trusting, always believing that there is good in a person and they deserve a second chance. whether or not they deserve it.

she’s a bit of a perfectionist in that way, wanting to look out for everyone. but in a town like Deacon Falls, she’s finding it harder and harder to do.

despite, or because of, that, Alexandra is very intelligent and driven. she pushed herself to work hard through college, graduating near the top of her class and is now in her last year of nursing school.

Lex is very close to her family; they’re probably the most important people in the world to her and she would do anything to protect them.

OOC: Beth, EST, she/her and happy to be here! my inbox / discord is always open for plotting, chatting, etc.
