Alexis Jakes
Alexis Jakes is a Dark Berrian politican who was born in 1679 in Grapeseed in the Dark Berry Islands. After fleeing to Ergo Sum in Lac Glacei following the outbreak of the Dark Berry Islands civil war, she befriended Sofia Fasthey and became politically engaged in the Sofian cause, eventually becoming a councillor in the Council of Women.
Jakes left Mountainview Bay with her younger brother Isaac, who eventually joined the Sofian cause and died after being shot by Oswinian forces.
Jakes is seen more as a bureaucrat, who works long hours away from the public eye, though her work ethic is often cited by the media as an important reason as to why the Council is so effective.
Although Jakes is much more fashionable than the other members of the council, often wearing stylish clothes and wearing make-up to meetings, she rejects any suggestion that she is a fashion icon, retorting that she wears what she does as she feels most comfortable in such outfits, compared to the more formal dress codes adhered to by her colleagues.
