## Appearances

* *The Tale of Five Stories*: Major Protagonist

## Physical Traits

Alex is a fair-skinned kid with brown eyes, black square glasses, and dark brown hair. He wears a light pink polo shirt with a dark blue jacket on top it that has two pockets at the bottom, black and white striped ascot, white cargo shorts with a blue belt with a red and white stripe, and black and white trainers. He currently wields the Yo-kai Watch♪.

He/They is/are sometimes seen wearing a light blue button-up pajama shirt with dark blue, white and pale-yellow stars, matching pajama pants, and corgi slippers.

## Personality

Alex is a carefree person where his/their personality gains him/them many friends, while he/they enjoys being with them and the Yo-kai he's/they've befriended, even when they can be troublesome. He/They is/are very righteous and has a strong sense of justice when a crisis pops up. Alex's dynamic with his/their friends is somewhat influenced by the presence of Yo-kai in his/their life, when a Yo-kai influences the personality of one of his/their friends through inspiriting, he/they usually tries to confront said Yo-kai, most of the time with the help of a Yo-kai he/they has befriended, to get them to stop.

Most of the time, similarly, Alex gets inspirited by a Yo-kai, which gives a stained impression of him/them to his/their friends, but especially to Dakota. Alex also goes through many attempts to be more than just an ordinary person, such as getting the attention of Dakota as a soulmate, rather than just a friend, as he/they has/have a crush on him. Most of his/their efforts almost always tend to come off as comedic towards everyone else, which causes great embarrassment towards him/them and his/their friends.

## Relationships

### Newman Family

#### Mr. Newman

Alex and his/their dad have an average relationship with each other.

#### Mrs. Newman

His/their mom seems to have anger issues when her son/child Alex doesn't obey her but despite this, she's a loving mom who cares for her son/child and she also occasionally likes to embarrass Alex when he/they is/are seen around his/their friends.

### Friends

#### Farah Kinley

Alex and Farah have been friends since diapers, and he/they sees Farah as the sister he's/they've never had.

#### Axel and Benson

Alex is close friends with both Axel and Benny, and they are seen hanging out a lot.

#### Dakota Foster

Dakota is Alex's childhood crush with Whisper and Jibanyan being the only ones to truly know Alex's secret feelings for him. However, unfortunately the feelings are never reciprocated as all of Alex's attempts to woo him often make him/them seem weird to him.

### Yo-kai

#### Whisper

Alex does not look high on Whisper's lack of knowledge about Yo-kai, as well as his needs to feed his craving for attention and his ego, though he/they does/do appreciate his presence to an extent.

#### Jibanyan

Alex likes Jibanyan (though he/they was/were appalled initially when Jibanyan moved into his/their house and behaves recklessly, and they even got into an argument once in a while) enough to be his/their first usual choice when summoning a Yo-kai, and his/their bond with him is strong enough for Jibanyan to take part in most of his/their antics.

#### Lord Enma

Lord Enma first interacts with Alex when Alex frees Whisper from the Crank-a-kai. He then decides Alex will become the one of the ones to help him collect the pieces of the Power Medal spread throughout Springdale. Even though he sprung all of this onto Alex so suddenly, it seems that Alex's actions are what gave Lord Enma trust in human and Yo-kai relations. They seem to have become friends at the end of the first season, since Alex has summoned Lord Enma on occasion.

#### Lucas Schiffer

Lucas is in the same classroom as Alex and Farah, Lucas often aids the both of them by revealing his prophetic dreams to them.
