Summary

A Magical Girl who has lost her place in the world and is currently hiding out in Neo-Magius. She has been a member of the choir since she was a child, and used to love singing so much that she even sang in club activities. She has a calm and friendly demeanor, but her fearlessness is one of the reasons why people trust her.

Doppel Description

Halomonas Titanicae, Alexandra's doppel

The Doppel of longing. Its form is a ship's figurehead. The master of this emotion locked away her own love, and continues sleeping without ever putting it into words. Her Doppel is an avatar of unsinkability that emerges from the water’s depths, and refuses to allow anyone to give up on any kind of love. Upon seeing someone who it or its master is fond of, it puts their feelings towards that person into song while waving its wings and mast as part of the ultimate concert. If you don’t give any response after observing the performance, you’ll be sliced to ribbons by its lattice-shaped mast, so applauding is the safe option. But either way, listening to its song will cause the iron in your body to become oxidized and make you sick, so people say it’s best to just avoid listening in the first place.

Powers and Abilities

Alexandra's power is described as "Pacification". Alexandra's harp music can "pacify" those who are her targets, eliminating their aggression and hostility.

Etymology

• The characters of her last name mean "chestnut" (栗) and "nest" (栖) respectively.
  • She may be named after Saburō Kurusu, a Japanese diplomat who acted as an envoy trying to negotiate peace and understanding with the United States while his own government, under the leadership of Hideki Tojo, were secretly preparing an attack on Pearl Harbor.
• Her first name may come from the HMY Alexandra, a British royal yacht steamship first used as a luxury cruise. After being claimed by the Norwegian government in the 1940s following the German invasion of Norway, it was repurposed to transport Norwegian troops for the war effort. Now renamed as the Prins Olav, it was eventually sunk by German bombs while attempting to escape to the United Kingdom as the Norwegian Campaign was coming to an end.

Trivia

• Her Soulgem could reference a Nabla Symbol, a an ancient stringed instrument probably like a Hebrew harp of 10 or 12 strings, Which also was seen as the inverted Greek delta,
  • This is supported with her music aesthetic and her weapon being a harp
• Her witch form is named after a proteobacteria that feeds itself with the rust of sunken ships, first found on samples taken from the wreck of the RMS Titanic. This bacteria is notable because it is both projected to bring about the Titanic's total deterioration within a decade, and yet also having beneficial potential in the field of bioremediation by accelerating the decomposition of shipwrecks littering the ocean floor.
  • Alexandra was released on April 14, 2021 which coincides with the sinking of the Titanic on April 14 and 15, 1912.
• Her Doppel is designed after the hull of a ship, with Alexandra herself taking the form of a figurehead.
  • Because of the chains that hang from it, it also resembles her harp.
• Alexandra first introduced Neo-Magius to Himena when Neo-Magius was facing disbanding. Even though Himena is aware of Alexandra’s true affiliation, Alexandra remains Himena's most trusted aide with Himena calling her "My Man(マイメン)".
  • Judging by Lavi Himuro's laissez faire attitude toward her colleagues, it is presumed that Alexandra's job was done with the approval or connivance of Lavi at least.
• The syllables of her surname are the same ones that would be used to render the Hispanic surname "Cruz" or the English word 'cruise'. It's unclear whether this is intended or just a coincidence.
• With her father being a sailor and the possible references in her name and her doppel, Alexandra is seemingly very associated with boats.
