Alexis De' Silva, nicknamed Lexie or Lex, only child of Anna and Giovanni De'Silva was born in Northern Boston in the early eighties. When she was four her father walked out, never returning and in the process, destroying her mother for a while, and breaking Lex's trust in men for most of the rest of her life. However her childhood was mostly happy, with her mother showing her the best person to be, strong and happy, a shoulder to cry on who values her friends to the end. That's the person Lex strives to be, though any man in her life will have to work hard to break a lifetime of mistrust.

Through school, Lex strived to be the best at everything she did, in order to avoid disappointing her demanding mother, which of course was never going to work, and often proved to stress her out to the point where she struggled to cope and made it difficult for her to get her head out of her books for long enough to make any real friends. Lex got into a decent college, but reacted like a monster unleashed and didn't do as well as she could have done, with no domineering mother to control her actions.

A year before college was due to finish, however, Lex's world was turned upside down when her mother died in a car crash, and she finally saw her father again at the funeral. Her father and her twenty two year old half brother Jack. Right then she made a decision, that no one else was going to live her life for her any more. She packed up, travelled the world, got a tattoo, learned to speak pigin Italian, and has finally settled down again, refitting an run down bar in Charlotte, NY. Now she owns Charlotte's newest cocktail and live music bar 'Lady C', and hopes to do well, pleasing only herself.
