Wiki

And since that cuts a bit short, it turns out Hatch is the Devil (and we thought he was just a pissed off, insane dude in a wheelchair) he manages to trap Alex in her own grave. After digging out, she conspires with the boys to weaken the devil. That doesn’t turn out exactly the way they planned since the devil is stronger than they thought. The devil sends her (and all of them) to their own sort of ‘ideal’ worlds. For Alex, it is back home alive with her brothers and her father. She can have all of that back if she’ll just look the other way. She’s far too compassionate (and she misses Hal and Tom). She can’t damn the world so that she can have her life back. Nor does she care to have a life that doesn’t include Tom and Hal. She doesn’t take the deal. In the end the trio ends up back together. They do the ritual (Hal decides not to be a douche this time and uses his blood in it) knowing that it will kill all of them, but save the world.

Except it doesn’t kill them (or does it?) it simply ‘kills’ the supernatural creatures in them. They are left truly alive and human. Alex immediately changes clothes and eats everything in sight. Hal questions what she’s going to do and she talks about how she was going to leave her brothers and father anyway, make her own life and she’d be happy to do that here if she knows that there’s something else there for her (implying Hal). He says that there is.

The kicker to it all is this. It might have been an illusion created by the devil. Hal told him that he had made a mistake by not putting them all together, implying that if he’d put them all together, he might have won.

Personality:

Alex is a mess in a lot of ways. She’s responsible to a fault, but she often consciously shuns responsibility. As a human, her mother left when she was seventeen, her father didn’t deal with it and it forced her to become the caretaker for her brothers and even her father. She cooked, cleaned and basically mothered them all. It trapped her at home with them and effectively ended her childhood. As a ghost, she often shunned all responsibility because, in her words, she spent her life cooking and cleaning. She wasn’t going to spend her unlife doing it too’. Without Hal around to clean up after her and Tom, the house would be a pig sty. Alex is, to a degree, resentful of the life she had and the things that her mother’s abandonment took from her and her family. She didn’t have lofty dreams about university or a career. She didn’t even have plans for next week, but that was the point. She was seventeen and had her whole life ahead of her. Her mother’s abandonment took that away from her and later, Cutler would take that from her to a greater degree.

She is very nurturing in theory, but because of her personality and her experience with boys, it comes off as teasing, annoying and mouthing off. If Alex likes you she will annoy you, tease you and embarrass you. I maintain that this is a major stumbling block for any sort of romantic relationship between Hal and Alex. She is stuck with a kindergartener’s idea of courtship (pull his hair, hit him, chase him on the playground) while Hal is stuck with a fourteenth century idea of courtship. She feels the need to mother someone but hasn’t the faintest idea how to do it in a mature, comforting sort of way.

She is open, friendly and energetic. She’s enthusiastic about things, often says exactly the wrong thing and has problem with a filter for her mouth. She swears so very much that it’s amusing. Fuck is her favorite word. She has no desire to ‘fit in’ and, as a human (the first time), she was probably a bit of a wild child when she wasn’t being responsible and cleaning house. She’s impulsive (she goes out on a date with Hal after meeting him in the restaurant he works in while she’s on vacation). She lives very much in the moment. She has a reasonably relaxed attitude toward sex, flirting and relationships. (She wore pretty underwear for Hal to see on their first date). We see this altered slightly from the beginning of S4 to the end of S5. Once she discovers she’s human again, she has to decide what to do about her family. She tells Hal that she could stay, if she thought there was something more there for her. She is beginning to think ahead, but it’s something that’s still relatively new.

She is persistent and prefers to confront things head on. She goes to Hal a couple of times to talk about how weird things are between them. After all, she’s stuck wearing fucking amazing knickers because she’d hoped he’d see them that night when they went on their date. She’s incredibly blunt without necessarily meaning to be. This comes both from her personality and from being surrounded by boys who didn’t understand subtlety. She’s tomboyish and dresses for comfort but also to stand out. She’s very casual and relaxed. She’s stuck wearing a dress (and tights) for eternity, but she’s prone to flopping down on the couch without regard to her clothes. Her style is funky and rebellious and this reflects who Alex is as a person.
Despite the resentment she feels at being forced to grow up so quickly, she is willing to sacrifice her ideal life in order to save the people she loves (and the world at large). She is loyal, clever and quick. While she does feel fear, she often behaves fearlessly. Despite knowing that the devil can trap her in her own grave, she immediately goes to Hal and Tom to come up with a way to stop the devil. She is determined and brave (she clawed her way out of her own grave after all). She doesn’t give up on Hal and the idea of a romantic relationship with him (because she loves him) despite making little progress. She adopts Tom as a little brother, spending a great deal of her time annoying and teasing him, but also looking after him.

Alex is loud and obnoxious at times. I mentioned she doesn’t get subtlety. She’s Scottish and she’s often ill behaved. Hal is afraid that she will offend the delicate sensibilities (he thinks) of a Victorian ghost that he visits. She doesn’t really have a grasp of etiquette or manners.

Alex loves entirely, unconditionally and deeply. Despite Hal flipping and going bad, she loves him. She strives to help get ‘good!Hal’ back by helping Tom tie him up and keep him in an extra room in the house. He will be good again if she has to keep him there for the rest of his unlife. She never holds what he’s done against him because she does love him. She applies this same sort of unconditional love to Tom who has killed many vampires and even tries to kill Hal at one point. She loves the person, not the action. (And let’s face it, she thinks bad!Hal is hot.)

Alex will believe, at first, that this is a trick by the devil. She will also violently, loudly protest some of her crimes, offer excuses for others and remain quiet on the subject of others. There are some on that list that hit very close to home that she won’t want to discuss with anyone. She’s got a certain amount of guilt over leaving her brothers and her father, despite the fact that she was killed. It smacks a little too much of her mother leaving them. She comes a bit more to terms with this as the series goes on, once she’s human again and realizes that she would have to eventually leave them anyway, but moving to a new place is a far cry from abandoning them.

Beyond her crimes to daily life in Teleios, Alex will handle fairly well. She’s experiencing being human again after a long stretch of being a ghost. She will enjoy every moment of that life. She will complain about the clothes, the food, the jobs, basically everything, but that’s what Alex does. She will eat an astounding amount of food. She will make friends and ask questions. She’ll stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. In short, she’d cope with it fairly well. She doesn’t think that it’s fair that they’re stuck there. She doesn’t agree with the idea of it. She will be outraged that people she cares about have such astounding amounts of debt. She will miss Tom deeply as well as her father and her brothers, but she will cope with her life there. She could even, as she develops cr and grows to love people there, search for ways to increase her debt rather than reduce it because she doesn’t want to go back. She’s had to leave her entire family before and make a new one. In the end, she didn’t want to leave the family she’d made for the family she was born with. I suspect she’ll do the same thing here.

Powers/Abilties:

She’s a plain old human now with some previous experience as a ghost. She doesn’t have any particular skills outside of a knowledge of the supernatural and that’s not anything astounding (like Sam Winchester or Rupert Giles) it’s simply personal experience.

“Fuck.” It exploded from her mouth, a quick explicative upon seeing so many dirty dishes. Yes, it was the dishes that undid her.

“Fuckity fucking fuck.”

It wasn’t that the curse made her feel better so much as it was reflexive. Some people sobbed upon seeing so many dirty dishes; some people actually just did the dishes. Alex swore. In truth, the dishes had nothing to do with the cursing. It was everything. Back home, she’d managed to finally accept that she was going to be a bloody ghost stuck in a pair of tights and a dress for eternity. She’d managed to somehow map out some sort of life even if it did include occasionally luring a werewolf into a van and tying up the boy she wanted to date. It was her life and she almost liked it with a high possibility of definitely liking it. That acceptance had been derailed when she (and everyone else in the house) had come down with a sudden case of human.

The case of human wasn’t bad, per say, but it had forced Alex to deal with a great deal of emotions and issues that she’d been putting off for the foreseeable future AKA eternity. For example, emotions related to her future and Hal, not necessarily together, but she wasn’t ruling that out either, or at least she couldn’t rule that out once she was human.

And now...

She was doing dishes. There was an actual dish in her hand and she was rinsing it off.

“No. No. I am not—I wasted my first human life doing dishes, cleaning up after boys, running about and never ever thinking about what I wanted my life to be. One could even argue that it was the reason I ended up dead, rushing after Hal and being ridiculously obtuse when Cutler came ‘round. No. I’m not—I can’t—“ She wiped at the dish and put it in the dishwasher.

She knew the deal here. She was one of the indebted and she had to work off her debts. “Figures that purga-fucking-tory comes with a sinkful of dishes and a temple full of boys to get them dirty.”

Not that the only people in the temple were boys, she was just choosing to single them out.

A bit of hysterical laughter spilled out of her mouth. “A temple. I’m in a temple. Doing dishes in a temple.”

Tears sprang to her eyes. She missed Tom. She missed Honolulu Heights. She missed her boots. She even missed that fucking dress. She’d give almost anything right now to be sitting on the couch watching Hal straighten an already immaculate room. Instead, she was right back where she started, doing dishes.

“I’m so fucked.”
