(Young life)
Alex Danvers was born in 1989 in Midvale to her parents; scientist Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers. Since early childhood, she displayed a gifted intellect and attitude towards science, as a teenager she is enrolled in the Midvale Junior High School obtaining remarkable results. The star of her family, when Kara arrived in 2003 Alex was jealous due to her abilities and was happy when Kara decided not to use her powers.
At first envious and ashamed of that "weird girl" who constantly embarrass her in front of her friends, over the years Alex began to deeply love Kara, and acted as her big sister, often comforting her when she was afraid or sad; the bond between the two became so strong that none of them can imagine her lives without the other.
One night, Kara took Alex flying, where the D.E.O. found out about her and forced Alex's father to work for them instead of taking Kara away. One year later, her father 'died' protecting a martian, from D.E.O.'s ruthless director Hank Henshaw, but her mother told she and Kara that he died in a car crash.
(Teen life)
Alex's best friend since High School was Vicki Donahue and she loved sleeping over in her house, sharing the same bed; however when she started to develop feelings toward her she felt confused and scared, so she begins to fight over her about almost everything, even if it was stupid or insignificant, until they just drifted apart. This memory made her feel so bad that she buried it inside of her for years.
After graduation Alex went to National City Med School, where she had a boyfriend who wrote poems about fighting and they allegedly broke up because of it.
Despite her intelligence and academic results, Alex grew up a troubled young adult who used hard-partying and heavy drinking to cope with her latent homosexuality and the loss of her father. In 2012, after a night of drinking and clubbing led to a DUI and her arrest, "Hank" visited Alex in jail and offered her to join the D.E.O., telling her that she was special just like Kara, and that she owed it to her father to be the person he knew she could be.
(D.E.O and Adult Life)
Alex had to go through a full year of training before being allowed to work into the field, but later, despite one of the main reason the D.E.O. hired her was her close connection to Kara, she proved herself as one of the best agents of the agency, quickly becoming "Hank"'s second in command. Eventually she moved to National City alongside her adoptive sister.
Alex has spent the majority of her life watching over her sister and still continues to do so even to this day and wont stop till she is dead. She constantly feels it is her job to have her back and even though she doesn't always need to have it she won't stop watching her back. After all they are close and they are and always will be sisters first.
She also got promoted to the Directer of the D.E.O. when her former boss left to practice in the ways of his father.
Alex also had her mind wiped and gained the memories back when she thought she has lost Kara her sister. In their fight against Lex and Red Daughter.

Friends and Family
Kara Danvers
Kara is Alex's sister. At first she always been jealous of her. She promised that she would help take care of her. So as they grew up together Alex's life revolved around Kara. Now it revolves around Kara and the D.E.O. Since she is constantly putting Kara first she never really had a relationship with anyone before. Sure she had "Friends" but they came and went. She has her sisters back no matter what.
Alex would give her life for Kara's in a heart beat if it came down to it. Kara is her greatest strength but also her greatest weakness. If anything were to ever happen to Kara it would shatter and destroy Alex as if she were made of glass and thrown to the ground to be stomped on. The broken pieces would be far to small to put back together. Kara is the biggest role in her life. She feels closer to Kara then she does her own mother.
