That's my biggest issue with her....I hate that all too commonly used 'alternative' shaved hairstyle used in many VNs. Very rarely have I come across a LI with that hairstyle and have her pull it off, and for me, she does not. Additionally, sure she's a bit on the plain looking side and could use at least a little bit of make-up, especially while she's at work, tending the bar and looking for tips, but she's just...bleh and doesn't even try to look attractive....not while at work and not for her 'man'. As far as I can see her only redeeming quality I guess is her quirky/prickly personality....assuming you find that attractive, which I don't, she just comes across as a friend and not a true LI imho.
Playing devils advocate for a second here, outside of loneliness and a little sexual frustration it never made sense for me to make Alex and Frank fuckbuddies. Finally getting out of the house and going to the club, I can see Frank befriending a tough and sarcastic Alex, but I would have waited longer before she makes a pass at him and he chooses whether he wants to go down that path with her or wait/reject her. That said, from Jen to Alex, and then Alex seeing Jen's portrait hanging in Frank's house on top of Isabella getting closer to Frank, no wonder she's jealous and intimated...though I think she's being a bit self-destructive trying to go out of her way to push Isabella and Frank together...maybe she just wants to get the inevitable over with?? I can only imagine Alex's reaction if she were to see Frank and Valerie Hall out to dinner...it would also explain her being extra sexually aggressive with him in order to try and claim him as hers.
the only person i can think of it suiting was quinn from badik, even then i much prefer longer hair. The shortest i can really handle is someone like Cara on intertwined.
