* GoodIsNotNice: {{Downplayed}}, but eight years in the foster care system have left her quite prickly and distant. She's implied to have done some shady things in the past to survive, and she can be pretty sardonic even when talking to people she likes. However, she's also the most uncomplicatedly [[BigGood good]] protagonist in the series, being the first to overtly decide to use her powers to help people, and (unlike Max, Chloe, or Sean) is never really tempted to behave in ways that are outright selfish when deciding between two courses of action.

* UnadoptableOrphan: Chapter 5 reveals Alex to have been one of these while in foster care, primarily due to her empathy powers surfacing as she grew up. These powers led to her often getting into fights (due to her inadvertently absorbing other children's extreme emotions), lashing out at her friends causing them to not want to talk to her, and being repeatedly rejected by prospective parents due to being perceived as emotionally unstable.

However, she has a slightly different TraumaButton in each timeline:
** In the "Bae" timeline following on from the original game, it's the deaths of the people who were killed in the storm, in particular [[spoiler:her mother Lita and close friend Drew North]].

** Since romancing her in ''Before the Storm'' is entirely optional it's still uncertain just what exactly her relationship with Chloe could be defined as by the time of her disappearance. It's clear that there's romantic feelings on ''Chloe's'' part, even going so far as admitting to having a crush. However, when she finds out Rachel and Frank were together, she doesn't accuse Rachel of cheating, and seems more angry that Rachel lied about it when asked. There's also the unsent letter regarding her connection to [[spoiler: Jefferson]] in the junkyard. It would be rather odd to give one's girlfriend a letter describing a man who "changed [her] life," thus further implying their relationship in the season 01 timeline(s) was platonic at the time of her disappearance.
** Likewise, it's unclear in season 01 if Rachel reciprocated, if she even knew about Chloe's feelings, if they mutually pined for each other but never acted on it, whether or not they actually did date in the main timeline, and if they did had they ever needed to take a "break" from their relationship over something. Truly the only thing that's clear is that they, ''at the very least,'' had a PseudoRomanticFriendship and that Chloe had genuine romantic feelings for her.
