** Alexis got rich as a mobster's wife or as a [[TheQueenpin Queenpin]].

** Unlike most other women around her, Alexis is quite GenreSavy and she knows that treating the less fortunate with contempt will only make her the primary target for revenge later.

** Alexis is a DistaffCounterpart to ANaziByAnyOtherName, seems very nice, friendly, nonjudgmental, rich and elegant, hard to believe that she could be mean, let alone a complete genocidal monster. She's elected into power through charisma and everyone thinks she'll make the world a better place, then NightmareFuel ensues as she proceeds to make Dolores Umbridge look like Mother Theresa.

** Alexis's parents spoiled her, so she thinks she's better than everyone else and deserves to get whatever she wants.
