Alexandra "Phoenix" is a phoenix shaman from Native American Nations. Many of her tribe do not accept the totem the spirits chose for her. Or at least they do not accept the way she follows it. Back in the native land she feels as an outcast, and has difficulty following her totem without question. This may just be the way she perceives things, but the tribe doesn't always support those who do not follow a more traditional totem.

Phoenix wasn't forced into exile, but she felt pressured to leave. This was how she found her way to Seattle, and how she became a shadowrunner. With magic based mostly on fire manipulations, she became a great asset to teams who didn't mind causing a little collateral damage, as long as they could put up with her belief in reincarnation. This may not seem too odd at first speaking with her, but it's quite different to see how the rebirth must be made possible. To be born again, the dead must rise from the ashes, therefor, upon their deaths, Phoenix lights the fallen in flames to be ushered into the afterlife.

In battle, Phoenix takes her two trusty weapons. A Savalette Guardian, loaded with gasoline filled capsule rounds, and weapon focused customized, black-bladed katana called Pestilence. She wears her black form fitting armor, usually under some black slacks and black blouse, completed with her trademark burnt orange cloak with a black phoenix etched on it in the style of the old Pontiac Firebirds.

Alex stands at 5'8, medium build, with brown eyes. Her hair is brown and cut at shoulder length.

Gun-Dancer is a p-fix personality while Sarah is the real personality, you can tell who is in control by the name used in the third person narration - both of these stories are before she became a runner and gained the moniker of 'Scope'
