.Lexie Dixon.
Full Name: Lexie Ariel Dixon
Nick Names: Lex
Student or Staff: Staff - Polo Coach & Groom
House: Staff Apartments
Age: 22
Ethnicity: British
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Physical Description: With big blue eyes and dark brunette locks which are almost black, she has a sort of striking, indie chick look. Her frame is slender, and she reaches 5'6. She's quite muscled from riding and working. Her skin in pale, and her features delicate, except her nose, which is a little bigger. But it still doesn't look out of place. Her slender figure is normally coated in jeans and a t-shirt while working, and then a polo shirt and jodhpurs when riding.
Her hair is left down and messy while not teaching, but when she is, she is all business. She makes a good impression on her students. When she's going out with friends, she scrubs up well. They could see her in the barns a few hours earlier, covered in dirt and scruffy as anything, and then see her while they are out, and she's spotless. She can be the most fashionable person, but usually she wears what she feels comfortable in, stylish or not.
Personality: Lexie is stubborn, she doesn't like to be told what to do and does things her way and her way only. She is very outspoken, not an ounce of shy resides in her body. She can be brash, and she holds no prisoners when you annoy her. Her temper is short, anything can set it off. But, while she is coaching, it simmers down. She knows she needs patience with her class, and tries her hardest. Her anger slips out at times, but normally she is able to keep herself in check.
Despite being, well a bee with an itch, she is fiercely loyal and very compassionate with people she loves. If you have done something wrong to one of her friends, family etc, she will hunt you down and you better go into hiding. She can be violent, not afraid to back away from a fight and never enlists someone else to fight her battles. But, she can be one to take things into her own hands and this gets her into trouble.
Animals are her forte, she loves them and they love her. They keep her calm, something which is very hard to do. And, she has the knack for rehabilitating animals. She has grown up doing so. This means she has enough animals to form a pack coming with her to the academy, and she makes sure she has enough time for each and every one.
History: Lexie was born in the smallish town of Suffolk, England. Her parents had been running their Animal Sanctuary, which catered for dogs to horses, for three years already. Still small, they expanded yearly. Lexie worked there all the time, helping to rehabilitate the dogs and cats, and then the horses when she got older. She rode all the horses that could be ridden, and loved it. This meant that she was always begging to keep the animals in the house, and then her parents gave in and now all the animals which are safe to, wander around the sanctuary free, only kept in by the perimeter fence.
School was something Lexie despised, but she still went. She wanted to compete it and then go to university. She didn't know what she wanted to do, so stayed on until sixth form and gave up on the idea of university. Instead, she decided to take up coaching. Lexie had been doing Polo since she was ten, and has no decided that she wants to travel to America and start a team at Blue Ridge. The British female is also bringing a team of horses, some brand new and some she has trainer herself, with her to the academy for the students to use. She knows some may want to use their own horses, but she won't allow it. This is how she has always done the sport, and this is how she will continue. She is also doubling up as a groom, based on the fact that Polo is more of a summer sport and she will need something else to pull in money over the Autumn and Winter. There will still be training over these months, but not as vigorous as in the Spring and Summer.
Lexie had actually worked at the academy before, but had to return home after her mother died suddenly. She had to manage the sanctuary and make sure that there were people there to help her father continue on with the sanctuary. Though she wanted to stay and help herself, she knew her mother would want her to continue in America with her job. So now she's back, and ready to continue on with her much loved job.

.Winston.
Registered Name: n/a
Name: Winston
Age: Nine
Species: Canine
Breed: Siberian Husky
Registry: n/a
Personality: Winston is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. He is just plain adorable. He loves everyone and everything. He is that dog that just doesn't have a bad bone in his body, and Lexie can honestly say that she could trust him with anyone. He completely and utterly adores Lexie and rarely leaves her side if he can help it. He is also very fond of calming down Ravioli, and is the only one brave enough to approach the feline in his angered state.
History: Winston had to have his front leg amputated as a pup after a car accident. He was taken to the sanctuary not long afterwards when his owners decided they could no longer care for him. Lexie had been fifteen the time and instantly fell in love with the adorable pup. Lexie has to spend a lot of time with Winston, especially now as he's getting rather old, and has to make sure he rests himself. He's one of those dogs that always wants to be on the go, even if his body can no longer really handle it.
.Niko.
Registered Name: n/a
Name: Niko
Age: Four
Species: Canine
Breed: Pitbull
Registry: n/a
Personality: Niko is an absolute sweetheart. Since being in Lexie's care, he's gone from being a shy and slightly angered canine to a complete and utter softy. He adores anyone and will roll onto his back and demand his stomach to be tickled. He also seems to think he's much smaller than he actually is and is fond of placing himself into Lexie's lap. He doesn't make much noise, due to the fact that he's deaf, but will whine if uncomfortable or unsure about something.
History: He has been with Lexie for about three years now and has had a horrific history. Born to a female fighting dog in a huge dog fighting ring in Britain, he had been beaten into attacking. Luckily, he never gave into the urges and before he could be used in the ring, the operation was shut down. Many dogs had to be put down, but some were lucky enough to be taken to Lexie's parents place. She fell in love with the plucky pit bull, who is also deaf, and has to monitor him closely.
.Ravioli.
Registered Name: n/a
Name: Ravioli
Age: Seven
Species: Feline
Breed: Maine coon
Registry: n/a
Personality: Ravioli can be quite unsociable when he wants to be, and will slink off on his own not to be disturbed. Usually, he's calm and happy to just laze around in the company of Lexie and her other pets. He does have a temper though, which is extremely foul. Lexie believes it's a result of his mistreatment before coming into her care and has had to lock him in a room alone until he gets over his anger. She's always there to comfort him afterwards though, and he's usually exhausted afterwards.
History: Ravioli came to Lexie's parents sanctuary after being severely beaten. He was about three then, and has been in Lexie's care ever since. She nursed him back to health and he's been extremely thankful of it.
Lexie is a character I made a while ago and took away, but I decided to bring her back (: Hope you don't mind.
