Personality
Alexandria has perfect memory, and as such she has a vast understanding of a lot of concepts. Her indestructibility and high position gives her an extremely strong sense of confidence. She has this "air" about her, causing people to get out of her way, treat her with a lot of respect and hush their speaking.[citation needed]
Appearance
Rebecca is a tall, muscular woman with long, straight black hair. She is missing an eye, but in civilian guise it is replaced with an advanced prosthetic. She stopped aging shortly after adolescence, but uses makeup in her civilian guise to maintain the appearence of aging.[citation needed]
As Alexandria, her costume was black and light gray, with an image of a tower in the center of her chest, and featured a wide, heavy cape that flowed over her shoulders and draped onto the ground beside and behind her<ref>Extermination 8.1</ref>.
Abilities and Powers
Alexandria is considered the epitome of 'flying brick' capes. The triad of flight, strength and invincibility recurs often enough, in enough variations, that it’s often referred to as ‘the Alexandria package’ in honor of her.
According to Doctor Mother, Alexandria is one of the strongest parahumans that Cauldron recorded. She has the ability to fly at speeds nearly matching Legend, a virtually invincible body, near-perfect memory retention, accelerated processing and learning, and - as a result - the ability to sense emotions based on body language.
Her mental faculties were offloaded to her Passenger<ref>Archived Comment by Wildbow</ref>, this rendered her immune to the effects of those such as the Simurgh, and were the source of her thinker abilities.
History
Background
At some point, Rebecca contracted cancer. She was approached by Doctor Mother who offered her a chance to gain superpowers and she took it despite the risks.
After gaining her powers, Rebecca spent two years guarding Doctor Mother while earning a reputation as a superheroine.
Eventually, Alexandria would be introduced to the other members of Cauldron. Hero told her that he had heard of her and mentioned how she had taken Strongarm and Mongler before Doctor Mother told them about her abilities. Legend commented on the fact the heroes usually wore brighter colors and she told him that it was easier to get blood out of her black and grey costume.
Alexandria then informed them of her proposal, that they form a team that followed the regulations and stipulations of the United States government. When asked about who would lead the team, she suggested Hero or Legend. She told them that it was part of an eight stage plan to incorporate parahumans into society before telling them how they could set up the organization she was proposing.
When asked about how she would guarantee the plan, she said that her civilian identity would take a position in the government. She told them that they should consider it before offering to give them booklets full of information relevant to her proposal.
She lost an eye to the Siberian during the same fight that led to Hero's death, and required Eidolon's powers to heal her enough to use a glass eye to maintain normal appearance, as normal healers could not affect her due to her power.
After Hero's death, she became the leader of a smaller team based in Los Angeles.<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref>
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Alexandria participated in the Battle against Echidna. She was duplicated, creating Apocrypha, whose appearance revealed her secret identity. Ignis Fatuus revealed her and her colleagues' secret membership of Cauldron.
Post-Echidna
She confronted Skitter after she turned herself in to the PRT, in order to properly control the teenage villain Rebecca tried to engineer a situation that would make Skitter try to attack her. This would then allow her to arrest Skitter and shore up her standing in the PRT. What Rebecca failed to account for was Skitter's ability to offload her emotional responses to her swarm much as Rebbecca did with her own mental abilities. This caused a severe miscalculationn when Skitter snapped after thinking that Alexandria had butchered one of her friends and killed the fallen heroine.[citation needed]
She later seemingly returned from the dead in the Battle against Behemoth, her invulnerable body was possessed by Pretender.
Golden Morning
Her body was finally destroyed by Scion.
Quotes
- "Threats is the wrong word … But English is a limited language in some ways. There's really no word to articulate what I mean. A threat with a measure of inevitability to it. A promise? Too feeble. People break promises too often. A curse? A malediction? Too... magical. An oath? The connotations are wrong. When I say I'll do something, I make it happen."
