Alex has a particularly Espinosian zeal for fun, food, and life. His bravery is commendable, but Alex fails to recognize the thin line between bravery and stupidity. Though naturally athletic and a skilled brawler, Alex fails to account for his size when it comes to physical (or verbal) conflicts. He loves a good joke, a clever prank, and a long tale – especially when he’s the one telling it. If there is one lesson he would do well to learn, it would be knowing when to shut up.

Like many Espinosians, Alex has an intense pride in his heritage and his family. Nothing is more important to him than the honor of his family and close friends. An insult to one of them is an insult to him, and he does not take insults lightly.
