Species: Echidna-Bat
Date/Place of Birth: 29th December / Angel Island

Father: Knuckles Tohil Chaknal

Backstory:
Born mere minutes after his twin sister Isla, Alexi was always aware of the expectations that came with being the son of Knuckles—the guardian of the Master Emerald and a symbol of unwavering strength. From an early age, he was captivated by the stories of his father’s heroic feats, dreaming of one day embodying the same resilience and courage.

However, reality proved far different than the fantasy he imagined.

While Isla eagerly embraced adventure and exploration, Alexi struggled with fear and self-doubt. He often hesitated in high-pressure situations, relying on his father or others to step in when danger arose. His cautious nature made him feel like an outsider in a family of warriors, leaving him plagued by feelings of inadequacy.

Determined not to let his fears define him, Alexi pushed himself to improve. Under Knuckles’ rigorous training, he gradually built physical strength, honing his combat skills and endurance. However, while his body grew stronger, his mind still wrestled with hesitation. In battle, he frequently found himself freezing under pressure, a stark contrast to the unwavering confidence of his sister.

Despite his struggles, his family never abandoned him. His parents offered encouragement, reinforcing that bravery wasn’t measured by fearlessness, but by the ability to act despite uncertainty.

While he still struggles with moments of doubt, Alexi continues to push forward, striving to prove—to himself more than anyone—that he is capable of being the protector he always wanted to be.

Alexi's facial scar was a result of him pushing himself too far during a strength training session. He knew he was powerful, and his scar was a painful reminder of that, but he also sees the scar as a lesson that he learned early on in his youth; knowing when to strike and when to back off from a fight.

Personality:
Alexi is thoughtful, reserved, and introspective. Unlike his sister, who thrives on adventure and excitement, he prefers methodical approaches, analyzing situations carefully before acting. This makes him incredibly perceptive, but also prone to overthinking—his caution can sometimes hold him back rather than aid him.

Though physically capable, his self-confidence still wavers. He deeply respects his father’s strength and his sister’s courage, but often feels overshadowed by their fearlessness. This insecurity drives him to push himself harder, even if his progress is slower than he would like.

Despite his internal battles, Alexi is deeply compassionate. He values kindness and finds joy in the simple beauty of nature, often seeking solace in peaceful outdoor environments. He has a quiet but determined spirit, and even though fear still lingers, he refuses to let it define him entirely.

Likes:
His Family: Despite feeling self-conscious about his abilities, he loves and respects his family immensely.
Picking Flowers Outdoors: He enjoys the tranquillity of nature, finding beauty in the simplest things.
Strategic Thinking: While combat overwhelms him, he enjoys solving problems through logic rather than brute force.
Personal Growth: Even when frustrated with himself, he remains committed to self-improvement.

Dislikes:
His Own Hesitation in Combat: He resents his fear, wishing he could be more instinctively courageous.
Being Overly Cautious: Though he knows careful thinking has its merits, he dislikes when it causes him to freeze up.
Feeling Inferior to His Sister: He admires Isla but struggles with self-comparison, making their differences feel like personal shortcomings.
High-Stakes Conflict: Though he continues to train, he dislikes the pressure of dangerous situations, preferring peaceful resolutions.
