Alexandra Margarita "Alex" Russo is a wizard in training who is also one of the main characters of Wizards of Waverly Place. At age 16, she is the middle child in the Russo family: younger sister to Justin, and older sister to Max and the only daughter of Theresa and Jerry. Confident in her magic, and undisciplined in using her powers, she is constantly competing with her brothers to keep her powers. Often times her magic is used in such a way that she requires assistance from her brothers, a favor she at times needs to reciprocate much to her distain. Her best friend is Harper. She was born in Cab 804, in the back seat.
In the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Alex and Justin are prematurly forced to do the full wizard competition and Alex wins, but in order to save her brothers and her family, she uses the Stone of Dreams and she gives up her powers so it can go back to the way things are. Things do go back to the way they were before she did the spell. And everything goes back to normal, though Alex has a stronger relationship with her mother, and brothers.
Family
Alex is the daughter of Jerry and Theresa, and also the sister of Justin and Max. Like most of her family (except her mother), she's a wizard. She works at their sandwich shop, Waverly Sub Station. Alex has inherited her Mexican heritage look from her mother's side, and her magical powers from her Italian-American father.
She has a tendency to be very lazy, when given the option of the easy way and the proper way she will pick the easy way every time without hesitation, getting her into trouble often because the easy way always has consequences she doesn't bother to think about until their upon her. She also hates reading, even menus and just points at the pictures of what she wants. Her fashion sense makes her personality crazy. Mostly, her shoes, which is Converse or Ed Hardy, makes it spunky. Her special symbol is Peace Signs. As 'Daddy's little girl' she is used to getting her own way, to the point were she won't accept no as an answer when she wants something, she almost never does what shes told by her parents and openly admits to Justin that she will ignore the rules to do whatever she wants.
When it comes to family Alex won't think twice about taking advantage of them, even taking whatever she wants from them. She has a large box of Justin's things that she stole from him under her bed, and won't hesitate to steal her dad's or even Justin's money such as when their chained up or traded bodies with her dad. She also likes to trick Max into doing her work for her often.
