What does your character usually wear to class? What does she wear outside of class? She'll dress professionally when the situation calls for it, but Axelle prefers comfort over anything else. Usually, you can find her in a pair of jeans and t-shirt emblazoned with some band logo or another.
Please describe your character's personality in at least 200 words or more:
Axelle's role in St. Spica reflects her general attitude. She is a very easy going person, who currently finds herself lacking a direction to take in her career. Overall, she takes things as they come, making her very easy to get along with. Axelle is a quiet person, who often finds herself just listening in on other people's conversations.
At least that is the case with social situations. In class, she takes a bit more of a proactive approach. Even though she doesn't hold much structure to her class, she does take the lead. Especially when it comes to any band practice. Being an experienced performer, Axelle is very confident in her abilities.
It was mostly her accident that left her a bit reclusive. Outside of music, Axelle does have a hard time making connections with people. It has only been recently that she has tried to stray outside of her comfort zone. But...she isn't in any hurry. Easy going as she is, her quiet demeanor leads many people to the conclusion that she is cool and aloof.
Well, mostly cool. She's still a little too accident prone. And it is hard to look cool after you've managed to trip your way into a room.
Was your character a student at Astraea Hill before becoming a staff member? No
Please explain your character's history in 150 words or more:
History Before Astraea Hill:
Axelle's family has been in the music industry for years. Starting with her great grandfather, a guitarist from the early 1900s, and on down to her father, the CEO of a record label, Axelle has always been around music in one form or another.
She, herself, took up the guitar at an early age and hasn't put it down since. Axelle still has her grandfather's old dobro guitar and loves to find a nice spot to sit and play.
But, the Devereux family has had a long and peculiar history. In the early days, there were all sorts of rumors that her great grandfather had made a deal with a demon. A rumor that sounds quite silly in modern times.
But, most members of her family have experienced sever injury to the left eye. Her grandfather lost his eye in World War II and her father lost his in a street fight. It is a peculiarity that has done nothing to quiet those old rumors.
Axelle's incident occurred in a plane crash. She had been traveling in a private aircraft with her uncle and was the sole survivor. Fairly miraculously, the only injury was to her eye. Her grandfather's guitar also managed to make it out intact. And ever since, Axelle has never traveled without it.
After graduating high school, Axelle has become something of a wanderer. With her musical talent and family's name, finding good paying gigs was never much of a challenge. She was working as a studio musician in Japan, when St. Spica made their offer. The prestigious school certainly wasn't lacking for music instructors. But, Axelle's name did bring a lot of attention.
Axelle figured it would be good to take some time and settle down for a bit. Maybe even try and write a few things of her own...
Life as a student at Astraea: N/A
Years since she became a member of the school staff:
Year 1: Axelle arrived fairly late in the year, but it was a rather eventful year, nonetheless. Transitioning into the new career, she met one former Etoile and one former roommate, to name a few. She found Rin to be rather interesting and was able to learn more about her new environment. She also found a fast friend in the future chancellor. And with Lia....her old roomie was just as obsessive as she had been when during their brief time living together. Now, she keeps her head on a swivel (lest it wind up on an operating table!). And she found a few shy students with an affinity for horses. One she had to save from a nasty run in with a rose bush and the other was kind enough to show her a thing or two about riding horses. Axelle is looking forward to continuing this trip outside of her comfort zone (and keeping her brains inside her head).

Whoever put that drum kit in the middle of the studio would pay dearly. Axelle, pushed herself up from the ground and did her best to put that poor drum kit back together. Inside the production booth, the producer and the engineer looked away, a sweat drop collecting aside each of their heads.
"Uh...whenever you're ready Miss Devereux." The engineer pipped in over the intercom. Axelle cleared her throat as she took a seat and lifted the guitar out of it's stand. It wasn't a very complicated number. The producer wanted a simple blues-like riff. It would probably wind up buried in the mix. But, she could still have fun with it.
She tinkered around with the guitar, plucking at the strings and getting a decent tune out of it. The simple riff was nothing more than her way of acquainting herself with the instrument. She preferred working with her own equipment, but some jobs were a little pickier than others. As was the case here.
"Alright, then." She smiled softly, "Time to get to work."
