Aunt Alexandra is a traditional Southern Belle who values femininity and family heritage. She is also an austere woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. Aunt Alexandra views Scout with contempt because of her "tomboy" persona and affinity for playing outside with the boys. Aunt Alexandra also values her family's reputation and even argues with Atticus about teaching his children about their heritage. Alexandra takes pride in her appearance and is rather confrontational. She is also actively involved in the community and hosts Maycomb's missionary circle. Aunt Alexandra is well known in the community and enjoys being the center of attention. Even though she is prejudiced towards poor white families and African Americans, she is a responsible individual who loves her family.
