Annie Mack

Anne "Annie" Mack (Meredith Bishop), Alex's older sister, is a main character in the TV series The Secret World of Alex Mack. Unlike Alex, she is usually far more interested in pursuing original scientific research than she is in hanging out with friends. Annie is present in the majority of the episodes. Next to Ray, she is the only one who originally knows about Alex's powers. She thinks Alex's powers are going to win her a Nobel Prize, and is the one who usually keeps Alex's unpredictable abilities in check. Annie has at times prevented the agents of the chemical plant from finding out about Alex, who often feels the need to use her abilities to help a friend. She eventually goes off to college, leaving Alex and Ray to cope on their own.
=== History ===
In Season 1, Annie begins running tests on Alex in the Mack's garage, sometimes in the presence of Alex's childhood friend Ray, who would rather he and Alex go off and have fun. Annie disapproves of Ray's relaxed attitude but comes to depend on him in a true emergency. Annie is also occasionally rescued by Alex, such as in Season 2 when she slips while attempting to climb a rock face. The three of them learn to work together, despite the fact that Alex struggles with feelings of jealousy towards Annie, who always seems to have the approval of their parents. 
As the series progresses Annie learns to listen to Alex sometimes rather than simply the other way around. Annie accepts Alex's help and consolation in dealing with relationships. More humorously, Annie must sometimes put up with Alex's new friend Louis, such as in the Season 3 episode "Images" when he thinks he is in love with her. 
In Seasons 3 and 4, Annie starts to question her motives for continuing to keep Alex's accident and abilities a secret from their parents. Annie begins an internship at the chemical plant and uncovers further sinister plots and threats to Alex. After an emotional farewell and a final nerve-wracking adventure in the episode "Leaving," Annie departs to the university of her dreams, returning briefly in the finale.
