General--Possessions:
Alexis is a scrawny looking rabbit, being slightly shorter and somewhat thinner than most other rabbits. Some might describe him as sickly, despite him being in good health (Albeit physically weaker than others). His fur is a light brown colour all over. He has lop-ears, rather than the upright ears most rabbits have. His footpaws are slightly thinner and slightly longer than those of a normal rabbit, which often helps when fleeing from hostiles.
Attire--
Alexis wears simple, loose clothing to keep himself cool in the summer months. This usually consists of a robe made with light blue linen. The robe is open at the top, exposing Alexis' chest fluff and keeping him cool when the weather is hot. The robe is tied in the middle with a slightly darker blue cloth belt, to which his herb pouch is attached. The robe stops a couple of inches short of his ankles, so that he doesn't inadvertently step on it and fall over. On his feet he wears a pair of sandals made of sturdy leather, with wooden soles. The sandals in question look like open-toed shoes, made of countless thin straps of leather braided together.
He usually travels lightly, and carries only his robe, belt, sandals, herb pouch and a sturdy wooden pole about the same height he is. The pole is used for multiple purposes, from basic self defense to helping him trek through the marshlands.Personality:
Alexis is quite quiet and shy, almost always appearing like a mute to those who first meet him. When around people he doesn't know or trust, he rarely speaks, except if he really needs assistance, in which case he will simply say one word phrases such as "Help", "Please" and "Thanks". When he gets to know other beasts, he is much more at ease, and will gladly discuss anything with them. He is also quite timid, never wanting to get into a fight. When threatened, he will back off slowly, before turning tail and fleeing for safety.Strengths:
-Willing to help, eager to please (Gathers herbs for the infirmary)Weaknesses:
-Quite intelligent, knows a lot about herbs.
-Extremely shyHistory/Background:
-Physically weak
-Runs away from conflicts a lot, often becoming branded a coward
-Occasionally absent-minded (When in stressful situations, he often forgets vital advice that could otherwise help him out)
Alexis grew up with his parents, living a quiet life until he was 18 years old, when he decided to move to Redwall Abbey, to see how he could help the beasts there (As a parting gift, his parents gave him a pair of braided leather sandals, which he has worn ever since). When there, he studied as much as he could, learning everything about herbs and where to gather them. He had read notes from the (former) Infirmary Keeper about several rare herbs in the marshlands, as well as about the marshes' other qualities for herbalism (Such as being able to use swamp gas to heat medicines in order to purify them.) As such, he started making preparations for his journey to the marshlands (Reading up books on how to escape from bogs and quicksand, what to do if attacked by a lizard, and so on). Having studied both the benefits and dangers of the marshlands, Alexis felt he was finally ready to try exploring for the first time.Relationships:
- Parents (Residing at his childhood home, Alexis never mentions them by name)
