Lexi Reed

"You have got to be kidding me!"

- Lexi's catchphrase

Alexis Taylor "Lexi" Reed is a main character and antagonist/anti-hero in A.N.T. Farm. She is most recently a student at Z-Tech Prodigy School where she is the head cheerleader and a self-described "Math Princess".

She was the freshman president of the student council and captain of the cheerleading squad at Webster High School. She is also the most popular girl at school. She was also the leader of all of the school musicals until Chyna showed up.

Lexi will do anything to get attention. For instance, in bad romANTs, Lexi tries hard to get Olive to put her on the cover of the school newspaper. She is Chyna's biggest rival at Webster High School and thinks of her as her competition and a threat.

She is generally portrayed as the main antagonist of the series. She is usually around Paisley or a mirror.

Lexi is portrayed by Stefanie Scott.

Personality
Lexi has proclaimed herself as the "Queen ANT" and a "Math Princess" instead of a "Math Nerd".

Lexi is shown to be self-centered, bossy, and superficial, believing she is the only person in the world who actually matters. She looks down on the other students, and even the teachers. Because of this, she often puts people down and tries to manipulate them. She is very protective of her popularity and doesn't like it when other talented people are around her. She tries to sabotage people for the sake of her popularity, such as Chyna and Abigail Timmons, but it usually backfires. She also considers socializing with certain people bad for her own popularity, like Cameron and the A.N.T.s. She is considered naturally beautiful and has won many beauty pageants in her childhood.

Due to her natural talent and prodigious skill, Lexi has developed a superiority complex. She thinks she is better than everyone and believes everyone is beneath her. She takes great pride in herself and seems to overestimate her own abilities. However, despite evolutionary intellect, Lexi would much rather be recognized for her beauty rather than her brains. She often acts like a bimbo and that she doesn't know anything. This is because Lexi always spends a lot of time on her appearance and hates it when someone acknowledges her for anything other than that. Nevertheless, in the Season 3 premiere "trANTsferred", Lexi is revealed to have her own Advanced Natural Talent. Zoltan Grundy discovers she is a math prodigy, and he admits her into his Z-Tech Prodigy School. Lexi claims that when you do a lot of shopping, you get good with numbers, explaining why she's good at math.

Paisley is Lexi's "Best Friend," but she is just as mean to her as she is to everyone else. She usually just uses Paisley for carrying her bags or buying her things. Also, she has stolen almost all of Paisley's boyfriends, as well as McKenna's. She rarely ever thanks her for anything she does, and when Paisley broke her arm, Lexi wrote on it, 'Hope Infection Sets In, Love Lexi". Lexi then pretended to break BOTH of her arms just to get more signatures on it than Paisley.

One of her catchphrases is, "Shut Up, Paisley!" and she tends to say "You've got to be kidding me!" when surprised or upset. She enjoys making all people, including Paisley, feel miserable about themselves. However, kindhearted Paisley still somehow likes her and instantly forgives her no matter what she does.

Lexi loves fashion and shopping. She has a girly taste and background. When she talks to her friends such as Paisley, Lexi has a sassy and girly tone. She also does a lot of makeovers and mani-pedis.

Physical Appearance
Lexi has fair skin, a perfect face, perfect cheekbones, and luscious pink lips. Her blonde, side-swept hair goes slightly past her shoulders and is usually curled and worn down, though she does straighten her hair and put her hair in braids or a ponytail occasionally. Lexi wears a lot of makeup, most likely to be only powder, lip-gloss, and mascara.

Lexi has a keen sense of fashion and spends a lot of time on her appearance. She constantly keeps a close eye on the latest fashion trends, which is one of her favorite things to do. Her style varies from girly to casual; she wears jeans, jackets, dresses, skirts, tank tops, high heels, sandals, and cardigans in many different colors and patterns.

On certain occasions, however, Lexi is shown to genuinely care about Paisley deep down.

Chyna Parks

 * Main article: Chexi

Lexi and Chyna typically don't get along very well, as Lexi has injured Chyna merely to get the main role in the school play. Lexi is secretly jealous of Chyna because she feels that Chyna is so much better at everything than her, even when it comes to singing.

Chyna is more recognized for her talent. Lexi becomes irritated whenever anyone decides to challenge her status as the queen, causing her to target Chyna. Lexi has also manipulated Chyna on many occasions, always ruining her school experience.

They have been shown to be able to work together, and their interactions become less hostile and more friendly as the series goes on.

Olive Doyle

 * Main article: Lolive

Lexi has shown to strike fear into Olive, letting her know not to mess with her. Olive knows getting in Lexi's way means certain death, so she respects her position in the school's "hierarchy". Lexi tries to be "nice" to Olive, but only if she has something to gain. Lexi often manipulates Olive and uses her to get things she wants. Like many other people, Olive serves as one of Lexi's minions in order to avoid her wrath. Lexi loathes Olive because she is friends with Chyna, and often bullies her into submission.

Lexi thinks very little of Olive, believing her to be worthless. Lexi almost never deems her useful in any situation, except when it helps to improve Lexi's image, such as the newspaper.

Cameron Parks

 * Main article: Clexi

Cameron appears to have a crush on Lexi. They have worked on multiple "projects" together. Although she most likely sees him as much lower than her in the school "hierarchy", he has shown to "knock her down a peg" by calling her "plain and average" for example. Lexi could have a crush on Cameron. In idANTity Crisis she had a dream she was attracted to Cameron.

Chad
Chad is the boyfriend/ex-boyfriend of Lexi. Zoltan asked Lexi how that was possible and she said "the other girls hate that I'm dating him and I love that, it's complicated." On the one week anniversary of Lexi's new hair cut, Chad didn't even send her flowers. Zoltan said to Winter "You just don't do that to a person" (Him and Lexi shook their heads wrongfully.)

Seth
Seth was Lexi's boyfriend in Product misplacemANT. He is the most good looking boy in the prodigy school, other than Dixon, whom Olive took from her. Lexi realizes Seth has an obsessive crush on a girl in a comic series and makes him quit liking it. However, when Lexi learns more about the girl in the comic, she starts to like it. So as Seth starts to become more 'hip' and 'cool', Lexi becomes a nerd. Later, she meets the actress who plays the girl in the comic. Lexi starts obsessing over her, making Seth annoyed. Seth and the girl start to go out, dumping Lexi.

Fletcher and Angus
Lexi has an on and off friendship with Fletcher and Angus. Even though she bullies them all the time. But sometimes she does care about them in their own way.

Princess
Princess is Lexi's pet dog.

Appearances
Lexi appears in 59 episodes out of 62. The only episodes she doesn't appear in are replicANT, clairvoyANT, and managemANT.
