Origins
It was over 200,000 years before Doma and Riva signed the treaty which would initiate the Era of Peace. The lesser gods of Gaera each had a separate plan for the care of the world and its mortals. Unwilling to compromise, the lesser gods warred. As their weapons, each commanded flights of dragons--powerful yet non-sentient creatures, a guiltless tool.
Great waste was laid to the world as each god targeted another's creations. Innumerable dragons fell but not a single of the lesser gods kept track of something so little. Yet as was inevitable, eventually all came to an end when Ishtar and Primaer discovered their childrens' quarrels and resultant destruction.
Primaer declared that the gods were to never war amongst each other again in such a manner, upon pain of the return of all to pure chaos. As the lesser gods began to repair the injuries made to Gaera, Ishtar, for her part, worked toward reparations to the dragon species.
Ishtar gifted a young female dragon with sentience and brought her into the pantheon as the caretaker of dragonkind. This dragon would later identify herself as Alexandria.
Personality
Suddenly becoming intelligent did quite a number on Alex, particularly considering the preceding events of which she began to have an entirely new understanding. However, over the years Alexandria's personality has settled into a more typical obsessiveness seen in many single-domain deities.
Alex likes dragons...because dragons are neat. Any type of dragon will do--big or little, wings or no, with scales, fur, or feathers. And, as far as Alex is concerned, someone with partial dragon heritage is as much a dragon as anyone else. The more dragons the better, so she fully expects her dragons to have a healthy interest in sex (and, one hopes, resultant reproduction).
Much like her sister Stacey with fluffiness, Alex thinks the world would be much improved if everyone were dragons. However, while she will frequently offer the gift of becoming a dragon to the non-dragons she meets, she usually respects those who wish to remain as they are (how much this is influenced by her limited sources of power is up to conjecture).
As far as the goddess is concerned, any reasonable person shares her beliefs in this manner. She recognizes that the world of Gaera is full of many unreasonable people.
