Character information

Alex is the daughter of Aron and Miranda DuBaer and twin sister of Camryn Barnes, or Apolla DuBaer who was born as the sun was rising and wears the sun amulet. Alex, the older twin, was born as the moon was setting, and wears the moon amulet. Alex was born as Artemis, and her twin sister Cam who is two minutes younger, as Apolla. Their names are deviated from the legendary twins Artemis and Apollo, Greek gods of the moon and sun. The powerful amulets were made by the twins' father Aron DuBaer before he was killed by their uncle Thantos DuBaer. When together, the twins are stronger and more powerful than when they are alone, especially when their amulets are attached; thus making it easier for Thantos to find them and use them to his advantage. In order to protect the twins and their magic, their Coventry guardians Ileana DuBaer and Karsh send each twin to be raised by separate human parents (Protectors) in the United States.

Alex is sent to the fictional town of Crow Creek, Montana to live with Isaac and Sara Fielding, a couple who had always wanted a child but couldn't so they decided to adopt Alex. Sara adopted her from Karsh by private adoption. She knows of Alex's powers but does not know of the Coventry world, and her husband found out later when Alex was 7. Alex never knew she was adopted until her mother, Sara, died of lung cancer, when she was 14. Her adoptive father, Isaac, tried to get Alex back but Fredo killed him before he got the chance.

Alex grew up in a trailer in Crow Creek. She is punky, gothic, and a smart aleck. She only has two best friends, Evan Fretts and Lucinda Carmelson. She is considered a freak in school.

Although Alex has had dreams of Karsh and the Coventry world as a little girl, her first encounter of her magical powers was at school when she read a guys mind and makes a basketball fly into a girls nose.

For summer vacation, the Barneses and Beth make a trip to Big Sky, an amusement park in rural Montana, where Alex lives and works. At Big Sky, Cam and Beth meet Alex, Lucinda, and Evan, in which everyone is convinced that Cam and Alex are identical except the twins themselves, who at first are so stunned they are in denial. It is the first time the twins have ever met. After the discovery of a mysterious twin sister, Alex is not upset with Sara for keeping the adoption from her. At first Alex argues that Sara is her real and only mother but eventually she comes around to learning about her past.

Attributes

Alex is 5'4" tall and has the same build as her twin sister. She has short, straight, auburn hair but changes hair colors all the time. She and her sister have gray eyes, and their cousin Ileana and mother Miranda also have gray eyes. The twins' birth was foretold by their ancestors long before they were born, called "La Prophetic Aux Yeux Gris" (The Prophecy of the Gray Eyes).

Powers

Alex's powers are telekinesis, telepathy, precognition, hyperactive sense of smell and hearing, tracking people with her mind, clairvoyance, and cryokinesis. In book 10 she started to get visions.

Relationships

Alex's best friends are Lucinda Carmelson and Evan Fretts and her boyfriend throughout the series is Cade Richman

Film differences

In the film version, Alex is the sarcastic, and middle-class twin. She writes the story of Coventry and is always up when the moon is up. Her mother used to say that she's 'part werewolf'. She lives with her friend Lucinda, and meets Camryn at a fashion store, where she was trying to get a job and was hired. At the beginning of the film she was always cautious, but as the film came to the end, the tables flipped and it was Camryn who become the twin of caution and disbelief. Together they defeat the darkness, and return to Camryn's house safe and sound to continue celebrating their birthday which is on Halloween.

Alex Fielding was portrayed by Tia Mowry in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Twitches" which was released in 2005, and is portrayed again by Mowry in the 2007 Disney Channel Original Movie "Twitches Too".
