- Alexia to Cid Kagenou

Alexia is shown as a well-mannered young lady whenever she was in school, but in actuality, she is spoiled and abrasive, looking down on others and think they could be swayed easily if offered money. This is best exemplified by her relationship with Cid Kagenou who she uses to avoid unwanted advancements.

This stems from feelings of envy, being constantly compared to her sister, Iris, and her wish for people to see her based on her own merits. After spending time as a couple with Cid Kagenou, she starts to show a kinder side, developing fondness and even respect for him. When she was kidnapped, Alexia expresses worry for him. Deep down, she is a genuinely good girl who will put her own life on the line to protect others.

The Kidnapping of Alexia Midgar
Prior to the event, Alexia was getting unwanted advancements from Zenon Griphi. This makes her suspicious of him and had to find a way to get rid of him. Having overheard Cid's friends talking about a bet related to her, Alexia accepts Cid as her boyfriend. Eventually, Cid found out but Alexia manages to bribe him to comply. Despite initially abusing her relationship, mainly to vent her frustrations, Alexia starts to warm up to Cid who was the first to compliment her on her sword skills.

She was later kidnapped by Zenon and was sent to a laboratory. She manages to escape but was stopped by Zenon once more who revealed his true colors to her. Alexia was almost recaptured until Shadow came to her aid. After being rescued, Alexia tries to ask Cid to continue their relationship but Cid rudely refused to cause Alexia to attack him.

Midgar Terrorist Attack
Having become curious about Shadow Garden and the Order of Diabolos, Alexia decides to take a more active role in the internal affairs of her kingdom by joining Iris's investigations. During a night patrol, she encountered three imposters who are disguising themselves as part of Shadow Garden. They had a brief fight until Shadow saves her. Alexia warns Shadow to not become an enemy of her kingdom which is met with cold indifference. After the event, Alexia was put on lockdown by her sister.

Holy Ground Infiltration
Alexia would be invited to attend the Trial of the Goddess alongside Rose Oriana. There she would be irritated by Archbishop Nelson and Miss Natsume.

Powers & Abilities
Alexia is noted to have no talent for swordsmanship but managed to rise through the ranks to become one of the top students at Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy by sheer effort alone. Cid describes her fighting style as "orthodox", being rather straightforward with nothing special about it, causing her to be considered "mediocre".

In reality, Alexia's shortcomings are the result of her trying to replicate her sister, the genius Iris Midgar, even though her fighting style does not suit her. Fortunately, following her encounter with the Shadow and seeing his swordsmanship, which like her is the result of hard work rather than talent, she stopped trying to pursue her sister to instead focus on her own technique.

Cid Kagenō / Shadow
At the beginning, Alexia started her relationship with Cid as a way to annoy Zenón. However, not having the need to behave like a princess and being able to be herself when she was with Cid, Alexia ended up falling in love with him. Despite having put an end to their fake relationship, Alexia still loves him and usually bothers him whenever she has free time.
