He was also shown partying with the others after the defeat of both Ominous and Dr. Eggman.

Alex is the one with the most attitude of his friends. He's usually cynical, arrogant and sarcastic with a tough persona and love for action and excitement. He's also very street-smart and has basic common sense despite constantly failing his classes. However, he does have a strong sense of loyalty and a good-natured heart deep down. He truly and deeply cares for his friends and loved ones and will do anything to keep them safe and happy. He's also quick to see the error of his ways when he goes too far and even apologizes afterwards. He's also a great cook.

## Appearance

Alex is a white-skinned boy with brown hair and green eyes. He wears a black t-shirt, a dark-blue jacket with black pockets, reddish-brown and white pants and shoes and black and blue socks. He also has two, small, round bite marks on the left side of his cheek. He also wears a black cap with a green button.

## Personality

Alex has the most attitude out of all his friends. Usually having a cynical, arrogant, proud, and sarcastic exterior, he likes to think very highly of himself and can be very offended when proven otherwise. He loves action and is prone to get into fights, marking him as very brawny, brash, and aggressive. He also hates boredom and sharing his personal feelings and vulnerabilities with others, except for his friends and loved ones.

While normally cool, determined, easy-going, and laid-back when in a good mood, he can be very short-tempered and hard to reason with at times when his buttons are pushed or when extremely stressed or upset. He’s very distrusting and prone to seeing the worst in others, except for those close to him. He can also be a bit of a troublemaker. All these traits can lead to inadvertently getting both him and others into trouble and cause friction between him and his loved ones at times.

While he doesn’t have a genius-level intellect, Alex is a lot smarter and more competent than he looks and has basic common sense, able to understand the dangers and difficulties of real life. He’s also very perceptive, resourceful, and observant, able to notice and understand the feelings of others and work with what he has to his advantage. While he is mostly failing in his classes, it’s mostly due to a lack of effort rather than pure stupidity. He’s also a great cook and a more hard-working person than he lets on, especially when he’s not at school.

Despite his attitude, Alex does have his redeeming, heroic, and good-natured qualities. He has a strong and fierce sense of loyalty towards those he cares about. He deeply and genuinely cares about his friends and loved ones and will do whatever it takes to help them, even risking his own life and personal values when needed. He’s also quick to see the error of his ways when he realizes that his attitude and behavior has gone too far and will do anything to make things right again, even apologizing afterwards. In spite of his attitude, his heart is always in the right place.

Additionally, in spite of his brash and aggressive attitude, he refuses to go against those who are weaker than him or can’t defend themselves. He’s also very courageous and brave in the face of most dangers, except for snakes, and will genuinely stand up for those who can’t do so themselves. He can be very supportive and encouraging to both his friends and others when they’re down or discouraged and hates bullies or those who would do things far worse than he would do, like killing or making fun of the handicapped.

He also hates doing gross things and doesn’t like it when others do it as well, even when cooking. Alex has a dry and snarky sense of humor and tends to make jokes and remarks from time to time. He also has his cute and sensitive moments when he lets his guard down despite not wanting to be considered that.

However, underneath that tough and unruly exterior lies a self-hating, insecure, and emotionally scarred person. Due to the way his horrible family treated him after his mother’s death, Alex, deep down, thinks of himself as unlovable and undeserving of care. He also has a secret fear of his own insecurities and tries to put on a tough persona so that his family and others would think that he’s cool and deserving of love and he would have to numb his emotional pain. He also hates himself for being a jerk and feels immense guilt for both his actions and for inadvertently being the cause of his mother’s death immediately after his birth, thinking that he’s irredeemable despite all the genuine good he’s done.

After some help and advice from his friends and loved ones, as well as a personal psychiatrist and realizing that his bad attitude doesn’t make him cool, Alex does become a warmer, grounded, and friendlier person who’s willing to share his feelings with others when needed. While he does still have his snarky, moody, and temperamental attitude, it’s become more toned down and less present than before. He also has less self-esteem issues and is more willing to see himself as someone who’s deserving of love and respect.

## History

### Early Life

Alex wasn't always the cynical, arrogant and sometimes short-tempered, yet fiercely loyal and protective person he is in the present. He was once an insecure, self-hating, and less confident child during his early years. As a child, Alex was the runt and outcast of the family. He was constantly mistreated and bullied by his shallow older siblings because of both his insecurities and low confidence as well as secretly fearing that if they don't, their father would punish them harshly. The reason for this was due to his mother, who his father loved more than anything, dying during his birth. Alex had to do the cooking and cleaning in the family in order to impress and make it up to them, but they didn't care.

Because of this, he felt so much pain and felt so unloved that he developed a cynical, tough, and arrogant attitude in order to hide his insecurities and so that he wouldn't feel hurt anymore, which worked for his siblings, but didn't work for his father, who was still mad at him for the death of his wife during Alex's birth. After his older brothers moved out of the house, he felt lonely because the only person there with him was his distant father who barely provides for him.

At school, when he saw Sid being bullied by the other students, he decided to defend him from them since he knows what it's like to be bullied and mistreated and didn't want others to go through that as well. It worked and they became best friends.
