Alexia “Lex” Vale

About the Job

Undercover crown princess finishing out a year at an American public high school. Appearance: Polished but trying to blend in. Carries herself with natural poise and “princess posture” even in jeans and a hoodie. Dresses like a Pinterest-perfect version of a normal teen--simple, well-fitted basics, clean sneakers, and the occasional slightly-too-expensive piece that hints at money she’s trying not to flaunt. Opens with her looking nerdy a la Mia Thermopolis pre-makeover, and she eventually undergoes a transformation (sleeker hair, contacts instead of glasses, etc). Personality: Lex is bright, observant, and used to reading a room before she speaks. Years of palace training have made her careful and composed in public, but underneath the protocol, she’s nerdy, curious, and low-key goofy with people she trusts. She’s deeply empathetic and takes her future responsibilities seriously, but she resents how little say she’s had in her own life. Her default coping mechanisms are dry humor and control--if she can’t choose her destiny, she’ll at least color-code the hell out of her planner.
