Foil & Epee, Age: 10

Alexandria is the club cutup at Salle Mauro. Though there’s not much she’d rather do than go to fencing, on select lazy days, she’s been known to play dead on the strip. She’s even hidden Coach Mauro Hamza’s mask in attempts to delay hard lessons.

She started fencing by watching brother Gregory and wanting to join in. “Now, my brother coaches me on strip in Dutch, hoping my opponent will not understand.”
