       At the young age of three, Alexandra was exiled and sent to be raised by her aunt in France after the birth of her brother the heir to the hessian throne. She is well educated and speaks German, Dutch and French. Her aunt lived close to the Lafayette family, and Alexandra quickly became well acquainted with the young Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette being that she is only 3 months younger than him. They grew up as best friends and the young Gilbert had developed a strong love for Alexandra. At the age of 13, Gilbert was orphaned after the loss of his mother and was taken in by Alexandra's aunt. Shortly after this Alexandra was taken back to Hesse Kassel to be educated and given special military training. Alexandra wrote Gilbert every day and kept in contact with her close friend until at the age of 17 she was made a gift to King George the Third by her father. King George had her continue her education and military training. She was taught to play the cello, harp, and piano. She quickly became close to King George even though she disliked the king, but being close to him benefited her. She was allowed to continue her connection to Gilbert, and was promoted as a high ranking general in the king's army and a commandant in the royal navy. Alexandra was given command of Hessian mercenaries and British regulars as the war in the Americas started. She was also gifted Greyback, a black male horse with a single small white patch between his eyes. As the war started Alexandra received a letter from Lafayette detailing his part in the revolution. Alexandra never wanted to serve the king and saw her chance for freedom, but didn't know how to join the fight.
