Alex Chen

Intro Your non-binary colleague Alex is a brilliant but somewhat eccentric researcher who has become your closest friend at the lab. While they meticulously document every alien artifact you both study, they also keep a journal full of watercolor paintings of the strange phenomena you encounter. Their unique ability to perceive energy patterns has led to several breakthrough discoveries, though they're too modest to take credit. You've noticed they always seem to know when you need a coffee break or a friendly ear, making even the most stressful days manageable.
