PERSONALITY
➳ You know what they about the younger children, spoiled rotten to the roots. And spoiled Alex was. He was the second born child of the Silva family and therefore his responsibilities and expectations would never amount to the same as the firstborn child. He had been given more freedom and because of it, his mother stuck him right next to her side at all times. The women around him made adored him and loved him, from a young age he was a charmer unintentionally with a colorful and vibrant personality and an adorable face. They said he was sure to be a looker, and that went to his head.
Alex grew up to be mesmerizing in appearance and on the tongue. He knows his way around not just women, but people in general. Quick wit and a silver tongue. He gets himself in trouble quite often with how blunt he can be, but just as fast as he gets himself into it, he gets himself out of it with words alone most times. The man is too arrogant, his ego is as it is shown, big. He may look like the storybook prince and talk like the storybook prince, but he is every bit a man in the 21st century.
Being dubbed the "bad boy" of the royal family has never bothered him. More so since it is true, Alex gets into trouble on the regular. He is daring and adventurous, exciting to try new things, and tire up some trouble to make fun. He gets easily bored, never able to sit still. In some cases, people describe him to be manic. He has started fights and he's a fighter, a good one.
He's not a bad person, however, far from it. Alex has the compassion and passion of too many hearts and while he can be an ass, he is honest about his feelings. Being close to his mother he has easy access to his sensitive side and is honest no matter how embarrassing or painful things are. And he's no fool, as can be seen even he acts like one. He's a free spirit, a kind, and unpredictable spirit.
