Early Life
Alex was an orphan living with her Aunt Hannah. She had a large brain tumor which took away her sense of smell and taste. The brain tumor also caused her left hand to be unstable. Before treatment, she would throw up a lot and her hair fell out, but during treatment her hair grew back and she stopped throwing up. She went on the hike thinking she should do things while she still can before the brain tumor causes more damage. Fortunately, fate has other things in store for Alex.

Personality
Alexandra "Alex" Adair is smart, straightforward, and down to earth. She is persistent and stubborn, as shown in Ashes. She doesn't give up on Ellie, no matter how uncooperative she was in the beginning of the book.
