Born in Achenar in 3288, Alexis was orphaned at a very young age, with both her biological parents killed in an assassination attempt - the details of which were never fully declassified. Her parents were Imperial diplomats, who happened to be liaising with an independent company that was developing advanced genetic modifications - the nature of which primarily explored military applications.

When her parents died, this led to her being adopted by family friends, who also worked for said company. This sudden shift in Alexis' life led her to almost have a natural distrust of the unknown for a while, and as a result she soon developed a few social defence mechanisms at a very young age - her cunning and charismatic personality allowing her to become easily manipulative and convincing.

However, at the time, the company wished to explore advanced military-grade modifications, which had a higher success rate in younger individuals. At the age of ten, Alexis began to show promise to the company, and they requested that she joined their volunteer program for genetic modification. With minimal say in the matter, her new parents encouraged and maybe even forced Alexis to pursue this route, which ultimately benefitted their own position in the company.
Regardless, Alexis received numerous genetic upgrades, mostly military-grade and sensory enhancements. As a side bonus for her volunteering, the company permitted 'personal enhancements' alongside her military ones, which she accepted.

However, as good as it looked, her time 'working' for the company was never an ideal living condition. An abnormal amount of exhausting hours were forced upon Alexis, shoehorning her into rigorous training covering infiltration, subterfuge, reconnaissance - highly specialised military tactics and techniques that would be ultimately preparing her to become an elite covert operative.

She realised this at the age of 18, and, with her time as a volunteer coming to end, and integration into her fated operative status inevitable - she acted quickly to escape the company, ultimately using her training against them. The official company report marked her escape as a 'sudden disappearance', as it happened so quickly - her tracks covered so well - that it was deemed not worth investigating.

After leaving this part of her life behind, Alexis soon applied for a Commander evaluation - wanting independence. Her skills and quick wits pushed her through pilot training, and eventually, by the age of 19, Alexis Bright was a registered Pilots' Federation Commander.

Shortly after, she joined TITAN Contractors, as an independent mercenary, But, as she slowly intermingled with internal politics - which were particularly tumultuous at the time, she was inadvertently dragged right back into old habits - using her skills as an infiltrator to figure out the truth, her own way.
