Rhodes, Alexis

Alexis Rhodes, known as Asuka Tenjoin (天上院明日香, Tenjōin Asuka) in the Japanese version, is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga.

Biography

Alexis' manga-counterpart is the same as her anime-counterpart in terms of ranking, strength, looks, and motivation, though the only key difference is that she doesn't display any romantic feelings for Jaden, but is the object of Bastion Misawa's affections.

Alexis longs to be viewed as a Duelist by her peers, rather than simply a female, and goes out of her way to take Seika Kohinata's place in a duel against Jaden. Though she loses, she still becomes Miss Duel Academy, as Seika withdraws from the competition, feeling unable to accept the title after seeing how much acclaim Alexis won for her duel. Alexis participates in the tournament hosted at Duel Academy. She fights Reggie MacKenzie in the preliminaries and loses. She later duels David Rabb in the finals; while she is frustrated by the loss, she sees it as an opportunity to motivate herself to become a better duelist.

Alexis in the ending of the manga

.

She and Bastion Misawa battle Jesse Anderson and Adrian Gecko in a tag duel. They manage to win, much to Adrian's annoyance. She is matched against Aster Phoenix and in the singles matches, and loses to his "The Grand Jupiter". She witnesses Jaden and Chazz's Duel against Tragoedia and is present for Jaden's match against Koyo Hibiki years later.

Deck

Alexis plays a Cyber Ice Deck based on the distribution of Ice Counters through the usage of several cards. The placement of Ice Counters on monsters triggers the effects of various support cards, giving Alexis access to a myriad of effects ranging from the negation of card effects to immobilizing her opponent's monsters. Several of Alexis' cards also display a strong relation to ice or cold even if they don't rely on "Ice Counters", such as her "Ice Queen" and "Twin Pillars of Ice."
