Character and destiny. A girl named Alexander is simply woven from contradictions. It is very difficult for an outside observer to determine her type. At the same time, she attracts to herself by her tirelessness and agility, and repels herself with a prickly character. Very often, Alexandra acts recklessly, which is largely due to her concern, and, as a result, she often finds herself in hopeless situations.

In many ways, Alexandra's character is more masculine than feminine. At the same time, as if trying to get away from her "masculine" name, the girl attaches much importance to maintaining a feminine, elegant and mysterious look. Alexandra is, indeed, extremely charming. However, throughout her life she will try to demonstrate complete indifference to everything in the world.

Communication with the world is a necessity for Alexandra. She has a well-developed imagination, with a touch of extravagance. Sasha seeks to turn those around him, including his parents, into his slaves. At the same time, she is sincere and fair and expects the same from others. However, Alexandra's morality cannot be called stable. It is easily modified along the way to the intended goals.

For friends, Alexander is a person who is always there. The girl is unusually accommodating, seeks to smooth out any conflict. Although she has a lot of friends, she rarely reveals her soul. Often, being the only child in the family, Sasha from just a somewhat closed person becomes too stubborn and capricious. It is not difficult to lose Alexandra's friendship and trust. It is enough to lie to her once, she will never forgive this.

Alexandra is generally subject to violent impulses. She needs either everything or nothing. In a relationship with a man, a girl is often lacking in initiative. Alexandra is more familiar in male society. She marries late, but becomes an exemplary wife and mother. For her husband, Sasha is a friend, and for children - an authority. Alexandra is ready to do a lot for her family. She is able to create a comfortable life and home comfort out of nothing.

However, housework is not a girl's favorite pastime. Rather, the opposite is true. Alexandra strives to travel or play sports. Resting outside the city or watching hockey or football with her husband are the favorite pastimes of this woman. In sports, Sasha shows determination and can achieve solid results.

In an effort to feel more confident, Alexandra goes to study at a higher educational institution. She perfectly adjusts to any situation, but easily yields to someone else's attention. As a rule, Sasha chooses medicine or travel-related professions as a profession. Less commonly accounting or education.

Over the years, from a tomboy, Alexandra turns into a business woman, and this determines her career. She can achieve solid success, thanks to her efficiency, but at the same time she will lose the remnants of tenderness.
