Alex Fierro

Appearance Alex is a teenage einherji, and shares a lot of physical traits with her mother Loki. She is petite, as stated in The Hammer of Thor, with sharp and beautiful facial features and the same sly grin as the god of lies. She has heterochromia, with one dark brown and one pale amber eye, and her hair is dark at the roots but dyed green. She also has a tiny symbol of Loki tattooed on her nape. Magnus noted that Alex's physical appearance did not change when she was a boy, except for her hair, which actually seemed to be longer.

Alex dresses rather flashily and flamboyantly, in primarily pink and green. She wears a pink-and-green argyle sweater-vest over a white tee, skinny lime green jeans, and battered rose high-tops. Tied around her waist like a kilt is a cashmere sweater, which conceals a garrote wire and a hunting knife tucked behind a belt. Her appearance has been compared to both a jester's motley and a venomous animal giving off warning signs.

She looks exactly like Loki except for the lack of scarred lips and acid burns on her nose.

Personality Alex Fierro is, as a character and a person, one who refuses to be put in any box. Gender, personality, or heritage-wise. She refuses to be confined to one gender, or one personality trait, or one state of being. People often assume things about her based on her gender identity and parentage, and are often scared to get close to her or trust her as a result.

Her transgender identity shaped her personality in particular, specifically the way she was treated because of it. She was bullied, abused, and kicked out of homeless shelters. Even upon entering Valhalla, she has to correct people when misgendering her and constantly stand up for herself. Because of her genderfluidity, she doesn't have the luxury many trans people have of choosing who to disclose her identity with. When people see her, a trans person who chooses not to pass and doesn't try to, she is misgendered and has to explain her changing gender to everyone around her. Even well meaning people, like Magnus, ask invasive questions about it.

Because of all of this, she very much values her privacy and chooses to be more closed off on what to tell people about herself. She hates when people try to pry into her life, and she has very firm boundaries. She tells people very little about her past, hating when someone tries to see into her head, not just because of trauma, but because she doesn't want it to define her. She wants to choose the way people see her and doesn't want to be put into another box because of what other people think.However, she is very proud of her trans identity and is very happy when people like Magnus and her Abuelo respect it. She is actually very open minded, not expecting people to understand or even demanding it, just wanting respect. He answers questions asked, but makes it clear that he is not an educator. All he 'educates' people on is basic respect. After everything she'd been through, she doesn't want to be treated badly again and does not feel bad about protecting herself.

She is also very big on reclaiming what was given to her by both the Fierro and Laufeyson sides of her family. She used the power she inherited from her mother as a means to not be controlled by him and encouraged Samirah to do the same. She also uses the Urnes Snake, a symbol commonly associated with Loki, as a signature on her pottery and a tattoo on the back of her neck. People saw this as a symbol of allegiance to her mother, which she later states was not the case. She does not see things like the snakes and shapeshifting as Loki's, but instead something she can make hers. She is not ashamed of what she was given and takes it in stride, not caring about what people think. As for the Fierro side of his family, he is very proud of his Tlatilcan heritage and uses it as inspiration for his pottery. He was always respectful of it and was disgusted at his father for abandoning it all in the name of capitalism.

Alex Fierro, under everything, is a very friendly person. Though people are often scared of her, she makes a point that she is not fragile and not contagious. She has a very sarcastic and snarky sense of humor with her friends, Alex really does mean well and cares for her friends a great deal. Though she is not traditionally affectionate, she helped Magnus and Samirah with their quest after barely knowing them, accompanied Magnus to the Chase Mansion after he didn't want to go alone, and made Hearthstone a scarf after his was lost in Alfheim. She is also really not that rough or violent with them, only decapitating Magnus to save him from Loki, and fighting Halfborn as a way to bond with him.And underneath that, she shows moments of being affectionate. She grabs Magnus's hand a lot and comforted him after he heard his family, something Magnus didn't expect. She compliments her friends a lot and cried when Pottery Barn was destroyed. When she wants to, she shows she cares about them and does not hesitate. Unfortunately, people do not get the memo a lot of the time due to not being able to read Alex that well.

Alex is a very good listener. She does not pry into other people's pasts, and just sits there as a shoulder to cry on. She does not try to fix, she just listens. At the Chase Space, she was someone many homeless kids confided in after years of not being able to talk to anyone. She is very protective of their privacy and makes sure Magnus doesn't eavesdrop.

One other big strength of Alex is that he has very high self esteem. He does not blame himself for others wrongdoings and does not blame himself for how other people treat him. Because of this, he is unapologetically himself and part of his ideology is to "flaunt the weird". He dresses brightly and will not let anyone stop him from being himself, even when he was in an abusive home. When her father insulted her and his culture, she snapped back. She refused to stay confined to one gender and every time they pushed, she pushed back harder. A part of her self esteem is also a lack of manners, disrespecting Sif when they first met, calling the Aesir "idiots", and putting his legs on the table when he and his friends ate falafel.
