The Game
Alex herself
Personality:
Alex is a generally friendly teenager who gets along with most people or at least tries to get along with most people. She's one of those folks who will try to reasonably talk things out, like when Jonas and Ren start to fight, she tries to break it up without picking a side. Telling them both to just calm down so they can focus on getting away from the island. She also is nice to and starts to befriend her stepbrother Jonas when she first meets him and as time passes. She states she's an optimist and proud of it at the start of the game and that's not wrong. And with everything that she goes through, even when her optimism starts to strain at points, it never truly breaks.
She is a pretty normal teen and while she doesn't smoke, she will drink and she did go to a party on an island that no one is supposed to be at after dark. However she doesn't approve of her best friend, Ren taking what are clearly pot brownies. Firstly, because he becomes really annoying on them and secondly because the next time he takes one, they're very much in the middle of something they all need clear minds for. However she doesn't hold it against him as much as Jonas seems to.
Alex has a good sense of humour. She cracks jokes and can be sarcastic at times. It's what she usually uses instead of lashing out angrily if she can help it. Once stating that Clarissa is mean because she (Clarissa) had pigs blood dumped on her in a past life and is getting ahead of the curve. She can also be silly/humorous in times of danger, telling Jonas that "the evil" is what left behind the weird hand prints on a chalkboard. Also playing along with her friend Ren over the radio when he pretends to be an official, claiming that she wants to report a poltergeist that has invaded her home and among other things, looks better in her mittens then she does. Though she'll drop the act quickly when things become serious.
A sore spot for Alex is the recent death of her older brother, Micheal, who she was best friends with. He drowned when he took her out swimming before he left to go away and since she didn't know how to swim, she was unable to do anything but watch him die. This is also the reason Clarissa hates her or at least acts negatively towards her, as she was dating Micheal and she blames Alex for his death. When Micheal was around, as shown in the flashbacks she actually wanted to get along with Alex and the two were friendly, if a bit awkward. After his death though, she claims that everyone in the town knows that Alex is the reason that Micheal is dead. He died because she did nothing. Alex doesn't believe it is her fault, because there was nothing she could have done, even though she feels terrible about it, even just thinking about it. She tries to put up with Clarissa as much as she can, because she knows she's just hurt as well. But she can be pushed too far and sometimes she'll snap back at the the girl. Usually with sarcasm, but sometimes with just exasperation. She doesn't want them to be at odds with each other. Sometimes she'll just stay silent as well because it's not worth it.
However despite all of that; when asked if she really includes Clarissa in her list of friends she says yes, despite what it looks like. She also point blank refuses to trade Clarissa to the ghosts. She is a loyal friend, whether it's not trading a friend to ghosts for (alleged) freedom, or simply not calling her friend Ren out on his crush in truth or slap because he asked her too. In fact she drops a few hints to his crush, Nona and they end up together because of this. She also tells Jonas that he's a good guy and makes him repeat it to her. She cares a lot about her friends and is willing to give up everything for them.
Alex is very determined, she's the only one who seems to remember most of the loops they get stuck in/she gets stuck in, at least in each run through, she forgets them when everything resets, but she still refuses to give up and finds a way out of them, usually ending up winding old tape recorders, which somehow sets things right.
Alex is excitable and loves the idea of finding a treasure map someday. This is one reason she finds all the letters and radio anomalies, the other is that she wants more information about what she's dealing with. Alex is the sort of person who will see a giant jump and take it, leaping over a large gap that she almost doesn't make, but she says she's been doing since she was a child. It still freaks Jonas out though. She's a risk taker and like the more literal example above, doesn't always look before she leaps. While unlocking the ghosts is something she did by accident, and had to do as the exit vanished from the cave she and Jonas went in....She did still let them out by her actions of using the radio. She also sealed the portal behind her at the end of her first run through, even though the ghosts tell her that means she will be trapped with them as well.
Which she is.
Alex is starting to realize that she's been living the same portion of time over and over again for an undisclosed number of times. In short. The game is a time loop and she's been living through it, over and over just like the ghosts have been living reality over and over again. She's done most of the things the same way but tried to vary things a few times but nothing ever changes. Part of her is starting to realize this, as she is now in the new game + where she's trying to send messages to other versions off herself and the ghosts are being more open about her having done this multiple times. She knows that the messages won't help her and she doesn't even know if they'll help the other Alex's in different timelines. But she refuses to give up or not try to help the other versions of herself that might be out there.
Speaking of time. Alex is willing to mess with time. Damn the consequences. She convinces her brother to not go away so that she doesn't go swimming with him and he doesn't die. This is how most of her endings go as she can't bring herself to not save him. Even if she can't always remember the other times. She has forced herself to not save him on occasions because there is something in her mind saying she shouldn't (possibly memories of her past attempts or simply just time travel logic) but of course it doesn't change anything and she doesn't remember doing so the next time she ends up on the island and will usually end up saving him again because it's her brother and she wants him to be alive. Even if it's just for a short period of time and she's trapped back on the island doing the same thing again, when she does start to remember.
Some things are just more important, that's also why she stops right before they're about to confront the ghosts to help Jonas tune into a strange song that has been following them, that reminds him of something his dead mother used to hum. Helping her new sibling and friend possibly get to talk to his dead mother is worth putting off confronting their enemies for, no matter what.
At this point in time she's realized that she is stuck in the time loop with the ghosts, possibly forever. She's being taken from right before she wakes up on the ferry again with her brother alive at the end of the game/ pre time loop restart.

Victory Road Sample:
[Alex has managed to turn on the gear. It's no radio, thank god. More like a really weird video phone. She's visibly stressed out right now]
Okay, so apparently whatever this place is, it has a sense of humour. I'll give them that. But can I also say, their sense of humour? Yeah.....it sucks.
[She points the device over to some sort of creature. It's just sitting there. Being creepy.]
Yeah, whoever you are that brought me here. I looked this thing up. Really funny. The last thing I need in my life right now is more trapped ghosts.
[She looks over at it again and then back to the gear.]
.....these ghosts can't possess people can they?
[Another quick glance and then turning away from the void of ghosts.]
Okay so if anyone's out there....Ren, Jonas, Nona...hell Clarissa? Anyone? If my eyes start glowing red ...or maybe green or purple in this case...whatever. Or it starts to possess people? I just want everyone to know that I didn't actually do anything this time. I just got this thing as sort of the worst welcome gift ever.
