Alex Russo

Alexandria Margarita "Alex" Russo is a wizard in training who is also one of the main characters of Wizards of Waverly Place. At age 16, she is the middle child in the Russo family: younger sister to Justin, and older sister to Max and the only daughter of Theresa and Jerry. Confident in her magic, and undisciplined in using her powers, she is constantly competing with her brothers to keep her powers. Often times her magic is used in such a way that she requires assistance from her brothers, a favor she at times needs to reciprocate. Her best friend is Harper. She was born in Cab 804, in the back seat.

In the Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie, Alex and Justin are forced to do the full wizard competition and Alex wins, but in order to save her brothers and her family, she uses the Stone of Dreams and she gives up her powers so it can go back to the way things are. Things do go back to the way they were before she did the spell. And everything goes back to normal, though Alex has a stronger relationship with her mother, and brothers.

Alex is the daughter of Jerry and Theresa Russo, as well as the sister of Justin and Max Russo. Like most of her family, she is a wizard. She works at their sandwich shop, Waverly Sub Station. Alex has inherited her Mexican heritage look from her mother's side, and her magical powers from her Italian-American father.

She has a tendency to be very lazy, when given the option of the easy way and the proper way she will pick the easy way every time, getting her into trouble often because the easy way always has consequences she doesn't bother to think about until their upon her. She also hates reading, even menus and just points at the pictures of what she wants. Her fashion sense makes her personality crazy. Mostly, her shoes, which is Converse or Ed Hardy, makes it spunky. Her special symbol is Peace Signs. As 'Daddy's little girl' she is used to getting her own way, to the point were she won't except no as an answer when she wandoing something. Alex also has a cousin named Anna Russo, that might take part as a cast member in Season 3.

When it comes to family Alex won't think twice about taking advantage of them, even taking whatever she wants from them. She has a large box of Justins things that she stole from him under her bed, and won't hesitate to steal her dad's of even Justins money such as when their chained up or traded bodies with her dad. She also likes to trick's Max into doing her work for her often. She is daddy's girl and use's that to get him to do whatever she wants or to get out of trouble.

Although in Report Card, it showed that Alex had the worst wizard grades of the trio, she is remarkably skilled. Out of the three Russo children Alex is the one who use's it the most since she is quick to use magic to solve problems without considering or caring about the consequences which often leads to more disaster even when she knows what those consequences are. Because of her deliberate acts on using magic behind her parents' back, she often runs into trouble with her powers. However, in the end, she makes things right with the help of family and her magical abilities. She is capable of magic without any aid, although the spells backfire most of the time. She is very skilled at Spell Improvisations. She also is very quick at understanding magic lessons. Sometimes when its Justin's turn to teach Alex and Max Russo magic lessons, Alex always does something tricky to get out of class right away because she would rather do it on her own than be taught by her brother. In Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, Alex won the Premature Wizard Competition, but gave up her full powers so she could start from the beginning again and prevent from her siblings and herself being deleted from time.
