BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCHIn the late autumn of the year 2002, when the leaves from tall silver birches were beginning to fall onto the ground and had been carried away by the cold air and when the number of daylight hours was getting progressively shorter, a happy couple had given birth to a completely healthy baby. They gave the child the name March Alexis, considering that in Northern england, the autumnal season commonly winds down in March. It was an odd way to name a child, but in their large family of five, it was prevalent to settle on a name that had little to do with the circumstances surrounding the birth of an infant.As the years went by, March Alexis developed into a wise, perceptive, and full of wit young individual. They were loved by everyone and were taught to be courteous at all times, to show reverence, and to promote harmony not only within their household but also with those they encountered. With their parents being professionals in horticultural fields, they grew up loving the environment around them. And given the fact that the country in which they were born was abundant with biodiversity, it was expected that March Alexis would be particularly concerned about it. They were set to be advocates of nature and family relations.But destiny has something else in mind for their lives.As swift as the season of autumn, a situation arose that sparked a rift in their family's relationship. And as time went on, the once-sweet sunshine turned bitter, and March Alexis awoke to find themselves the stray sheep no one had ever imagined they would be.They became incredibly distant and dubious. They drove people away by being mean and anti-social in order to mask their fear of being abandoned once again by people they care so much about. Due to the understanding nature of their family, March Alexis was never forced into any unwanted connections and was provided with the discretion to figure out which direction they wished to take at such a tender age.On March 15, 2016, when Alexis was 14 years old, they encountered a Filipino youth of the same age who had changed their lives for the better. The foreigner made a promise to the youngster that they cherish, not realising that the Filipino was fighting a losing battle with life. They were robbed of the truth that the promise made would never be fulfilled, and to this day, they are still eagerly awaiting the male—their first love—to appear out of the blue.When March Alexis first stepped into the Pearl of the Orient at the age of 16, they had no doubt that they would fall in love with the nation just as deeply as they had fallen in love with the young Filipino they had met in Finland. They weren’t wrong, though, because the culture and people of the Philippines became so dear to them that they never left the country and decided to become a citizen, embracing the identity of the unnaturally born Filipino in them.

Fun facts about March Alexis1. Born into an english-chinese household, March Alexis grew up adhering to the customs of two distinct ethnic backgrounds. They were raised in a conservative, egalitarian family where everyone was courteous and humbled down by centuries of good compassionate lineage.2. As a kid, Axis was timid and reticent. He was reserved and would only speak to family members or close friends. Even though some of them are decades older than him, young Axis prefers to be with people he knows rather than meeting new people, hence his affection for older people.3. Except for her favourite person, Alex ignored all initial attempts at friendship made by anyone during the first few years of her adolescence. She was extremely aloof, direct, unyielding, irritable, and picky. She was also incredibly icy, bordering on sadistic, though as time went on, her softer side came through.4. His mother was a horticulturist who specialised in roses. She was killed in a vehicle crash a few years back, which contributed to Axis’s anti-social personality. The bottle of rose water that he keeps in a small jar is a memento of his mother.5. She was in the Philippines because her first love was a Filipino who spent six months living in England and made a promise to her that if he could travel back to England by the time she turned 16 years old, he would ask for her hand in marriage. She took it upon herself to locate the man in the Philippines after he sadly failed to do so. But up until this point, even after her feelings for him had subsided, she was still unsure of his whereabouts.5.1. Alex still desires to see her first love in order to express her gratitude for all he did for her. Without his assistance, Alexis Somerset today would not exist, and she will be eternally grateful to him.6.
